The Idea Of Broken Compliance Culture Has Failed To Penetrate The Corporate Defense Bar
Surely the Justice Department can't be serious about holding companies to account for all of the hundreds of illegal things they've done?
Jon Shazar
There are two ways to look at the Justice Department's new focus on corporate recidivism. Both were conveniently expressed at this week's foreign bribery shindig in the bizarre confected bit of small-town Americana known as National Harbor, Md.
On the one hand, there's the "it's not fair" argument propounded by the white-collar bar, here represented by Gibson Dunn litigation chief Joseph Warin.
"These are big organizations and try as you might to get it right, there's gonna be misconduct. That's what's troubling us," he said. "One of our clients has three million employees…that's bigger than every city but eight or nine in the United States."
Actually, Joe, it's bigger than all but two cities in the United States, and that sounds an awful lot like the "few bad apples" theory that didn't work out so well for John Stumpf. And to which Justice's David Last's riposte is, "guess they didn't teach anthropology at Creighton in the early 1970s."
"Look, if there are so many instances to count, that may be another conversation that we need to have," Mr. Last added. "If you're in the 50s, or the hundreds of prior touches, that's something we probably need to know."
Speaking of which!
EU antitrust regulators on Thursday fined Barclays, Credit Suisse, HSBC and NatWest 344 million euros ($390 million) for foreign exchange market rigging, closing a key chapter in a high-profile investigation…. Some of the world's biggest banks have been fined more than $11 billion collectively by U.S. and European regulators since allegations first surfaced around 2013 that dealers were rigging the world's largest financial market….
"Today we complete our sixth cartel investigation in the financial sector since 2013 and conclude the third leg of our investigation into the foreign exchange spot trading market," EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager said in a statement.
All totally unconnected and having nothing to do with any of those banks' culture, or indeed banking culture more generally, right, Joe? Anyway, while we're talking about things that Warin's bank clients aren't going to like, let's have a little look-see at what Rohit Chopra's been up to over at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The bureau did not identify any banks it may be targeting, but Mr. Chopra said it had asked its examiners to focus on banks that rely heavily on overdraft fees. Banks with "a higher share of frequent overdrafters or a higher average fee burden for overdrafting" should also expect close supervisory attention, he said.
Mr. Chopra said the bureau would take action against banks that violated rules governing overdraft fees and would "seek to uncover the individuals who directed any illegal conduct."

Merrick Garland Gets Busy
The Justice Department has a new squad of crypto-cops, a new taste for white-collar criminal enforcement, a new demand for cyber-ransom notifications. And if you happen to know where all of Tether's money is, it would appreciate a call on that, as well.

Edition No. 176 September 30 – October 6, 2017
A conversation with Him Sophy, creator of Bangsokol: A Requiem for Cambodia.
By Jennifer Down.
Composer Him Sophy
It's an unexpectedly balmy September day when I meet Him Sophy. We sit in an outdoor cafe in front of the Arts Centre in Melbourne, weeks from the world premiere of Bangsokol: A Requiem for Cambodia at the Melbourne Festival. Every so often the gusty wind sends a flurry of golden elm leaf like snow behind him. "With a requiem, as in Mass, you wish the dead body to become good in the next life, the same as bangsokol ritual," the composer tells me. "You remember your ancestors who have passed away. But bangsokol also gives hope to people who are still alive … It's good to not only think about death, but also about the living."
Sophy is, himself, the living: born in 1963, he survived the civil war and Khmer Rouge regime, then received a scholarship to the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory. He remained in Russia for 14 years, ultimately obtaining a PhD. His grandfather played Arak music ("spiritual and marriage music") and his father pinpeat music ("religious music, only performed in pagoda and in rituals"). Sophy began studying piano under a French professor at Phnom Penh's Royal University of Fine Arts. He considers himself lucky to have such a vast musical heritage. "I have a lot of privilege. I learnt Western music – if you want to have degree, you have to learn classical Western music – but my father and my grandfather [were] traditional musicians. It's like two feet, yeah?" He claps his hand on his thigh. "If only traditional, you have only one foot. Only Western, it's still only one foot." Individually, he explains, neither is enough.
Sophy is a relaxed, unswervingly pleasant speaker, puncturing his sentences with smiles and the occasional laugh. When the conversation turns to present-day refugees, he speaks at length about the need for compassion before adding, "We need to think – if we reject them, where are they going to live? On the moon?" An incredulous bark of laughter. "Even Donald Trump is a refugee. Everyone's a refugee."
When I remark on his sanguine nature, he considers it. "I have … in English we call it 'resilience'. Under the civil war, I remember being under the airplane, and the bombing. I escaped from the army." Thudding pop music blares from the cafe's speakers as he recalls being forced from his music studies in Phnom Penh to the countryside, where he thought he'd die. "The Khmer Rouge gave me 18 corn [kernels] for lunch." But he survived, and after the fall of the regime he met new challenges in Russia. "I forgot about how cold, how far away from Cambodia [Moscow would be]. But because of the killing fields, all the obstacles in Cambodia that I met, it gave me energy and power to learn." And yet he was to face more difficulty. When the Soviet Union collapsed, so, too, did the ministry of education that had funded his studies. "I stayed there for five years without money," he says. He describes selling the books he'd acquired in the early years of his time at the conservatory; friends buying him lunch; making a chicken leg last for three meals. He asks if I'm familiar with Les Misérables, laughing afresh.
Bangsokol is not Sophy's first international collaboration. After finishing his PhD and returning to Cambodia, he received a grant to travel to New York. It was there, on meeting an American producer, that he began work on rock operas. His acclaimed 2007 production, Where Elephants Weep, blended traditional instrumentation, a Cambodian rock band and a string quartet to tell the story of a Cambodian refugee. For him, as a composer, the future lies in rock operas and "hip-hoperas". He hopes that through his work he can introduce music and culture to younger Cambodians, citing Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton as an example of the form's power.
Bangsokol is a multidisciplinary symphony of film, speech, dance and song. For Sophy, it represents an elegy for those lost to the genocide about 40 years ago, but, equally, a meditation on the dangers of myopia. "It's a requiem for the world," he says. "This composition can remind people – please do not repeat the bad story; the ideology of racism or Nazism."
In Bangsokol, Sophy collaborated with the filmmaker Rithy Panh – also a survivor of the massacres – and a coalition of international artists and technicians, including Grammy-nominated conductor Andrew Cyr and former Chunky Move artistic director Gideon Obarzanek. Sophy is exhilarated by intercultural exchange. "We need everyone from all around the world to work together," he says. "They bring their own experience and knowledge."
Is it difficult when one's work is informed by a historical narrative of trauma that also holds a deeply personal significance? Undoubtedly, but Sophy is fascinated by the possibilities offered by sharing these stories with a global audience. "Bangsokol has a very strong message about tragedy, about killing, about war, about everything that the Cambodian people have been." It's not just a history lesson but also a warning for the present.
Sophy has 90 minutes before his next appointment, a meeting with the creative director of the Asia-Pacific Triennial of Performing Arts, Stephen Armstrong, and I feel a pulse of guilt at having to run off. I offer to walk him to the National Gallery of Victoria. Inside, Sophy takes several selfies of us, angling his phone to accommodate the stained-glass ceiling of the Great Hall. Our smiling faces, washed in light, fill the screen. He hesitates at the escalator that leads upstairs to the free collections: its downward-travelling counterpart is not visible. A pleasant gallery attendant reassures us that he'll be able to return to the ground floor again, that the escalator is only beyond a wall. Sophy thanks her. "I just need to know how to get back here," he laughs, "so I'm not lost." It's a fleeting, oddly vulnerable moment from a man who regularly traverses countries and continents with his work. He waves from the escalator, smiling all the way up.

JW Dicks, Founder of Dicks and Nanton Celebrity Branding Agency, a Personal Branding company, shares four common branding mistakes to be avoided.
Orlando, FL- July 22, 2011– J.W. Dicks, Founder of Dicks and Nanton Celebrity Branding Agency®, a Personal Branding company, recently published an article on his website (http://www.jwdicks.com) discussing common branding mistakes. The article, titled "Common Personal Branding Mistakes to Avoid," helps readers avoid common pitfalls.


NB. These are my notes reflecting my interests, and, as always, it is best to go back and have a look for yourselves. Apart from the usual problems, I took notes from this text quite a long time ago and I was not as scholarly as I should have been. I hope I have accurately separated out my paraphrases of what the various authors are saying and my own commentary (which is in square brackets). I list the files in the order in which the chapters appear in the book.
If it helps, here are my own brief thoughts on 'positivism' first.
Habermas J The Analytical Theory of Science and Dialectic -- a Postscript to the Popper/Adorno Controversy (Lots of support for and re-statement of Adorno, organised into various issues like theory/practice or value-freedom. A demonstration of how critical theory can transcend the limits of postivism/critical rationalism --that is preserve its insights but add other things to it. Clear hints of the stuff on 'human interests'. An aside on Weber's notion of a social science).

First Record of *Macrolabis* (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in America: A New Inquiline Species from Dasineura folliculi Galls on Goldenrods
N Dorchin, ER Scott, WG Abrahamson
Macrolabis americana Dorchin n. sp. is a newly discovered species of inquilinous gall midge found in galls of Dasineura folliculi Felt on two goldenrod species, Solidago rugosa Miller and Solidago gigantea Aiton (Asteraceae) in central Pennsylvania. This is the first record of Macrolabis outside the Palaearctic, where the genus is represented by 58 species. Contrary to what is known of most Macrolabis species, the new species is multivoltine and is found in galls induced by successive generations of D. folliculi. Despite certain biological similarities to Macrolabis solidaginis Fedotova, which is associated with Dasineura galls on goldenrod in Kazakhstan, its relations to its Eurasian congeners are currently unknown. Adults, larvae, galls, and life history of the new species are described.

The Glossolalia
A Novella
by Stephen Silke
At the center of The Glossolalia is Godot Gargon, an actor engaged in nonstop narration about the practice, performance, and promotion of his role as Insalubre, the lead character in an enigmatic cinema-verite-style film. His agent, director, therapist, and entourage careen around his ambition "to declaim the certain and the unequivocal." Haunted by his estranged brother, he performs his way through present-day Los Angeles, turning his personal life into a film that he speaks into existence.
Stephen Silke holds a graduate degree in creative writing from the University of Southern California, and an MFA from San Diego State University. He has worked as a bookseller, writing instructor, and copywriter in San Diego, California, and his stories have been featured in Cosmonauts Avenue, decomP magazinE, Fiction International, Le Scat Noir, pacificREVIEW, and Portland Review. This is his first book.
"The Glossolalia is loaded with brilliant images and wordplay, evoking writers like Beckett, Joyce, Artaud, and Ionesco. While Silke is skilled in creating fictive scenes rich in setting detail and clever dialogue, his ultimate goal is metafictional, and the narrative is repeatedly undercut by absurd yet oddly exact theoretical observations. . . . His first book is accessible and entertaining, playfully scrambling aesthetic conventions while asking important questions about artistic integrity and verbal representation."
—Stephen-Paul Martin, author of The Ace of Lightning
"Is there a way to catch up with the world racing ahead of us, or has it already turned a corner with us on board but no window seat? Here is a knowing writer refreshing the conversation."
—Aram Saroyan, author of Artists in Trouble
"What fun to read The Glossolalia, Stephen Silke's imaginative new novella with its clever dialogue and a cast of colorful characters. . . . Godot Gargon's many articulation exercises are great fun, too (I practiced saying them out loud, between laughs). But this book has heart at its heart, and it touched mine."
—Judy Reeves, author of A Writer's Book of Days
"The Glossolalia reads like a novelization of Wes Anderson's adaptation of a Kingsley Amis novel. It balances the satirical and the sincere with a skill that's practiced but not obvious. I love me some Hollywood novels, and Silke doesn't disappoint. I laughed and sympathized and empathized, but mostly I was entertained—by the characters and by the brisk experimentation of Silke's writing. Oh, and one more thing: just read the damn thing already."
—Tex Gresham, author of Heck, Texas

Happy with the experiment of the staged reading. Would recommend to a friend.
TDs are valuable commodities - sapphires, or something - what I'm saying is it might be a good idea to train up a first-time TD through the staged reading.
Show went well. Tech week was stressful, more so than anticipated. There needs to be clarification on what the staged reading actually is. Sydney ended up taking on more work than she anticipated.
DHD is sick. Joe got her keys.
DHD had a concern about not having a budget.
Move-in happened. Worried about complex technical maneuvers. Actors are in a good place.
Celia received keys from Eli.
Pseudo paper tech with sound and lights, helpful and went smoothly.
Not worried about scheduling things yet. Show is fairly short - 2 hours with intermission.
JamJo's check-in bonanza pow-wow: no snags at move-in. Set is up. Lots of lights went up. Desks exist. Costumes exist. Some props missing, but will be there.
Share the event. Invite people.
Shirts are on their way. Will be here eventually.
LNK is this week. Please sign up.
Zoe received keys from David.
Zach King going into tech week - magical to see something realized on stage. Everyone was wonderful. Positivity. Launches into solo musical belting.
Things are going really well. Actors are almost entirely knowing lines except when they don't. It'll be fixed. Full runs this week + scene work.
Karen was not present to give a check-in. A tech meeting happened this week, seemed productive. Things are good.
Dream Team still flying high. T-shirts are ordered. Photo shoot happened. BUS Ads will be in this week. Poster being worked on.
If you got cast - congratulations. Check your emails, expect something from your directing team immediately - given the lost time they'll want to get started as soon as possible. If you didn't get cast - understand that you are very talented, and sometimes there just aren't enough parts to fill. Please consider auditioning for us again - we'll be having auditions for One Acts & Monologues Festival later this semester.
Additionally, if you have any interest in teching or producing, we'll be having our Spring 2015 Tech Meeting TOMORROW at 11 AM in "The Space" (near Cane's Chicken). No experience is necessary, and attending doesn't signify commitment - just come here about the amazing opportunities our season can offer you. It's a great way to learn and add something awesome to your resume or portfolio.
Phew. Alright, here we go, guys.
CTRL-F your name. Or don't. Whatever. If you are called back for one or more shows: congratulations! Callbacks will take place from 1-6 PM in B36 TOMORROW, Saturday 1/31.
Keep an eye on your inboxes - most directors email those called back for his or her show.
If you were not called back - know that we had an especially small season with a multitude of extremely talented actors. It doesn't mean we didn't want you. In fact, we still do - if you're interested in tech, we will be having our tech meeting this Sunday (February 1st) in "The Space." No experience required! If you only want to act, keep an eye out for audition postings for our One Acts & Monologues Festival in the coming months.
Thank you everyone, and good luck. May the odds be ever in your favor!


But the Opportunity rover wasn't the only rover that landed on Mars that day. Its twin rover named Spirit also landed with Opportunity. This rover also was only supposed to be a 90-day mission, but it to, went past it's intended time. But unfortunately, Spirit stopped communicating with earth on March 22, 2010, also due to a sandstorm, except this rover was completely submerged in a sand dune.
Opportunity had uncovered so many mysteries on Mars, including whether or not there was water on Mars. But that's not the only thing the rover did, Opportunity had a huge impact on people. People were impressed by its success, but also sad that has stopped working. "The rover lasting so long shows how surprising engineering is," said Spencer Waechtler, a student in the rocketry club at YCHS. "Going from 90 days to 14 years is another example of the impressive ability of NASA scientists to over-engineer their devices," said Brittany Hartmann, a science and rocketry teacher here at YCHS.
NASA is still trying to figure out a way to reach the rover. But we can learn a thing or two from the rover lasting so long. "I think this will help us learn more about potential travel to Mars in the future. I am excited to see where NASA takes this information in the future," said Hartmann. NASA could use this information to send another Nasa rover up, or some way to revive Opportunity, or they could find a way to dig out Spirit.


The Castelli Volata 2 Jersey FZ is that go to Jersey if you want some of the benefits of aero without the restrictive cut and impracticalities. Fast - Velocity fabric is fast and the cut while nodding at aero is a little more generous so its still a close fit, but it is less of a second skin. Comfort - the slightly more generous cut, our exclusive z line collar and zip garage and stretch mesh raw cut armbands all add to the luxury feel of this jersey making it more of an everyday piece. Practical - the full-length YKK zipper allows you to easily get the Volata on and off and makes temperature regulation a doddle. While a 4th zippered key pocket means you won't lose your keys reaching for a gel. The Castelli Volata 2 Jersey FZ fast enough to race - comfortable enough that you don't need to.


The International Kolping Society is a Catholic social association founded by Adolph Kolping. The members form a family-like and life-accompanying community. The International Kolping Society promotes the development of its members in many parts of daily life through education and actions. It is structured into local Kolping Families and its combinations into diocesan, regional and national associations.
Today the International Kolping Society is represented in more than 60 countries of the world with about 450,000 members. The association is structured into local groups, the so-called Kolping Families. These are united in diocesan and national associations. At present there are about 5,000 Kolping Families worldwide.
The worldwide Kolping Society understands itself as a community of solidarity where members and Kolping Families support and promote each other. Hence, the International Kolping Society coordinates development cooperation within the association. The Kolping Families in Africa, Asia and Latin America as well as in Central and Eastern Europe particularly benefit from this cooperation. The Kolping Families in these regions understand themselves as self-help groups that want to assist people to cope with their daily problems by their activities.

Q: Enable/disable lock screen it´s posible to enable and disable lock screen?
My aplication connect with wcf in order to read data from dababase. This data could be very large.Application works fine on emulator and on device when I execute it from Visual Studio. But I execute it without VS, if screen is locked, when unlock it application crash, are closed. Í have a try cath, but catch part is not executed, directaly close application.
it´s posible to disable lock screen when are reciving data and anable again on finished.
thanks

A: You can enable the application to run under lockscreen by disabling the idle detection
PhoneApplicationService.Current.ApplicationIdleDetectionMode = IdleDetectionMode.Disabled;

and enabling it again when no longer needed.

A: You could either disable the lockscreen from triggering
PhoneApplicationService.Current.ApplicationIdleDetectionMode = IdleDetectionMode.Disabled; // or .Enabled

or, you could make the app run under the lockscreen
PhoneApplicationService.Current.UserIdleDetectionMode = IdleDetectionMode.Disabled; // or .Enabled

one thing to note though: the phone throws an exception if the UserIdleDetectionMode is changed twice in the application. It still changes the UserIdleDetectionMode though, so a try and catch block should do it.

A: I have a mistake. I was writing under  if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
Thanks

Gold eases amid concerns over coronavirus outbreak
Spot gold and US gold futures drop as investors assess the risk of a global epidemic
The three men likely to take over Glencore when Glasenberg goes
Two of them have strong SA connections, and one looks rather like outgoing Ivan Glasenberg (one of his wishes for the new CEO)
29 October 2019 - 12:34 Jack Farchy
Ivan Glasenberg. Picture: SUPPLIED
London— Contenders for the biggest job in commodity trading, the head of Glencore, will be on parade this week. Outgoing CEO Ivan Glasenberg wants his successor to look "like me", and the main aspirants do.
Glasenberg announced his plan to retire in the next few years in December 2018, firing the starting gun on a closely watched race. The three most likely choices are Gary Nagle, Kenny Ives and Nico Paraskevas. They're barely known outside Glencore, however, and as the global metals industry descends on London for London Metal Exchange (LME) Week, miners, traders and investors will be jostling to find out more.
The passage of the CEO's baton at Glencore is more than another corporate transition. The firm is the world's largest commodity trader, dominating transactions in most industrial metals, including copper, zinc and aluminum. The CEO of the Swiss-based, London-listed company has had an outsized role in shaping the world of commodity trading since Glencore was founded by Marc Rich in 1974.
Glasenberg (62), in charge since 2002, hasn't announced the candidates to succeed him. He has said, though, that there are "three to four guys" on the shortlist; that the next CEO should be from a younger generation; and that "I hope he looks like me". No women are in the running.
While three candidates top the list, nothing is final, according to a person familiar with the matter who declined to be identified discussing a confidential issue. Two of the executives have early career paths that broadly mirror Glasenberg's, having trained in SA as accountants. Unlike the CEO's generation of senior traders, many of whom became billionaires in the company's 2011 flotation, none has a large equity stake in the company.
The succession will depend in part on how and when Glasenberg leaves. Glencore's dealings in Nigeria, Venezuela and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are under investigation in the US, and that has triggered speculation the CEO may step aside sooner than he has envisaged. If that happens, one of the company's older hands might take the reins — for example Peter Freyberg, recently elevated to oversee the company's industrial operations, or Tony Hayward, the former BP CEO who is currently Glencore's non-executive chair.
Here are the three lead contenders:
Gary Nagle
If looking like Glasenberg is a job requirement, Nagle may be the man — some who know him call him a "mini-Ivan". He's a South African, like his boss, and similarly has degrees in commerce and accounting from the University of Witwatersrand. Also like Glasenberg, he built his career by rising through the ranks of Glencore's coal department.
Nagle (44), is also the most asset-focused of the likely successors. That could be an advantage as mining accounts for an increasing share of Glencore's income and the company moves away from its roots as a pure trader.
Nagle joined Glencore in 2000 as an asset manager in the coal department, going on to become CEO of its Colombian coal operation, Prodeco, in December 2007. Following the acquisition of Xstrata, he was moved to run the company's SA-focused alloy assets, and was named head of coal assets in 2018.
Kenny Ives
Ives, Glencore's head of nickel since 2012, is probably the candidate best known outside the company's headquarters in Baar, Switzerland. Gregarious and well liked in the metals industry, he has a traditional trader's regard for personal connections. In an interview with a student at a Swiss university, he said: "When I got involved in this business back in the 1990s, I remember my boss at the time saying to me, 'Kenny, this business is about three things: relationships, relationships and relationships.' It's true."
Ives grew up in Brighton, southern England, where he paid his school fees "in cash out of an old Tesco carrier bag", according to an interview with an alumni website. He joined Glencore in 1998, straight out of university, and for the first decade traded copper concentrates, spending a year in China.
In the Glencore mould, he's a sports enthusiast who captained his school soccer team and regularly leads morning or lunchtime runs.
Ives's time at Glencore hasn't been without missteps. According to several current and former colleagues, he clashed with the then bosses of the copper, lead and zinc department, Telis Mistakidis and Daniel Mate, leading to his transfer to the grain division in 2008, from where he moved to nickel.
Nico Paraskevas
A Greek citizen who spent much of his career in Africa, Paraskevas is, like Glasenberg, a chartered accountant and a graduate of the University of Witwatersrand. He also spent time in the coal department, working for Glencore's SA unit Shanduka from 2007 to 2009.
Paraskevas moved to the DRC as finance then commercial director of Glencore's copper unit there, later becoming CFO of Katanga Mining, based in Johannesburg.
In 2018, Katanga was fined by the Ontario securities commission for misstating its accounts. Most of the conduct that was censured occurred after Paraskevas left as CFO in November 2012. The company did acknowledge, however, that it "failed to maintain adequate internal controls" from January 1 2012 until March 31 2017, a period that overlapped slightly with Paraskevas's tenure. He hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing.
He led the disposal of Las Bambas, the Peruvian copper project that Glencore sold as part of a deal to get Chinese anti-trust approval for the Xstrata acquisition. The timing of that deal was sweet for Glencore: it was consummated just before the copper market plunged. Still, Paraskevas remained relatively unknown to the wider world when he was elevated to run Glencore's powerful copper trading division at the end of 2018.
Colleagues say he's calmer and a less dominating personality than his predecessor and fellow Greek national, Telis Mistakidis. He has overseen a less aggressive trading strategy by Glencore in the LME copper market. Paraskevas also has taken a more direct role in the trading of cobalt, a byproduct of Glencore's DRC copper mines that rapidly became one of the group's highest-profile commodities.

Loyd & Epperson recognized for Junior Achievement contributions
posted Aug 31, 2017, 11:36 AM by Granger Meador [ updated Aug 31, 2017, 11:39 AM ]
Two local Junior Achievement committee members, Rick Loyd and Matt Epperson, helped expand and fund the Junior Achievement (JA) program in Bartlesville Public Schools, providing students with outstanding real-life learning opportunities at JA Biztown.
Junior Achievement programs offer students in kindergarten through 12th grade learning experiences that help them gain the knowledge and skills necessary to make sound education and economic choices. Students learn skills such as balancing a checkbook, interviewing for a job, and receiving job training. Almost 1,400 district students participated in the JA school-based programs last year. Many community volunteers came to the sites to teach the JA curriculum to students.
The capstone for the elementary JA Program is JA Biztown. JA Biztown is a fully interactive simulated experience where students learn the fundamental relationships between academics and life beyond school. Students practice the rights and responsibilities of citizen as they become workers, consumers, entrepreneurs, and leaders in the JA Biztown community. This powerful learning experience is made possible through the generous donations of Accenture and Truity Credit Union.
Matt Epperson and Rick Loyd were instrumental in expanding the program from only four elementary schools to all six of the Bartlesville elementary schools for this school year.
Matt Epperson is the chairperson of the local Local Junior Achievement Bartlesville Committee. He spearheaded an effort several years ago to expand JA programs and raised additional funds to make more JA opportunities possible for BPS students. Mr. Epperson is a manager for Human Resources operations at Phillips 66.
Rick Loyd is the Senior Vice President for Truity Credit Union. Truity provided funding for bus transportation for BPS fifth graders to JA Biztown in Tulsa.
The district appreciates the support of community members like these who help provide our students with expanded learning opportunities.
Rick Loyd & Matt Epperson were recognized at the July meeting of the Bartlesville Board of Education for their contributions to the district's participation in Junior Achievement programs.
