Obtaining a forex license in Panama is made significantly easier through enlisting the professional services of an experienced consultancy firm, who can offer guidance throughout the entire procedure. By understanding the requirements to meet and documentation to provide, you can speed up the procedure and avoid unnecessary complications, thereby allowing you to obtain the license in a timely manner.
The Panama CVN (Panama ComisiónNacional de Valores, or in English, the Panama National Securities Commission) is the financial authority of Panama that is responsible for the regulation of the stock exchange. The CVN is also responsible for the regulation of the Panama securities industry.
In September 2011 significant amendments to the 1999 securities law were adopted in Panama, (law 67 of September 2011), which materially change the internal governance structure of the regulator and introduced major changes in a number of specific areas.
The amendment provides for the change of the name of the regulator, previously named "ComisiónNacional de Valores", to "Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores". The amendment replaced the three-commissioner structure with a board of directors and a Superintendent. Also a special council was created ("Consejo de CoordinaciónFinanciera") to coordinate actions amongst all financial regulators supervising securities brokers, banks, insurance, coops, pension funds and finance companies, with the participation without vote of the anti-money laundering bureau of Panama and the Accounting Board.
In addition to modifying the fees that the Superintendant can collect from regulated entities and activities, in connection with, for example, the grant of brokerage licenses and registration of securities offerings, the amendment introduced certain substantive changes in licensing and registration. Juridical persons organized under the laws of Panama or operating locally that are using in its name terms such as "mutual fund", "pension fund", "brokerage house", "broker dealer", "investment advisor", "investment fund manager", "fund administrator", "credit rating agency", "price appraiser", "liquidity provider", "stock exchange", "clearing house", "registered issuer", "forex" or "FX trading" (in any language) were given 180 days to obtain the applicable license or make the corresponding registration as required under the amended securities law, change its name or proceed with its voluntary dissolution and liquidation. Effective 1st of March, 2012, all forex companies – whether they operate inside or outside of Panama – are required to apply for a brokerage house license ("casa de valores") granted by the new Superintendent of Securities.
A major revamp of the provisions regarding violations of the securities law and the consequences thereof, including the procedure to be followed by the Superintendant and some of the penalties that may be imposed, has also been introduced by the amendment. For example, fines for engaging in forex operations without a license are now of at least US$1,000,000. Superintendent may also instruct the Public Registry Office of Panama to make an annotation in the registry dissolving any juridical person using any of the foregoing terms without the corresponding license or registration.
Article 44 of the amended law defines Forex activity as the operation of buying and selling coins and currency at a price or exchange rate (Foreign Exchange Market) on a recurring basis, and authorizes the Superintendent to develop procedures and special requirements and technology that the brokerage houses should maintain for the exercise of this activity. Some exceptions from the compulsory licensing are granted to government transactions. While forex futures and options could only be traded by licensed companies, spot and cash operations were exempt from licenses.
Applicants must have a paid-up capital of at least US$150,000.
Be exclusively dedicated to activities related to the broker-dealer house business.
Applicants must have fully fledged offices in Panama.
A Board of Directors or its equivalent should be composed by at least three individuals (no corporate directors are permitted), with "proven business and professional integrity".
At least one third of the members of the Board of Directors must possess knowledge and experience in subjects related to the stock markets or the financial sector in general. Note: Only individuals who have working experience as principal executives or other similar responsibilities in other public and private entities engaged in financial business, for a period of at least 2 years, are deemed to have appropriate knowledge and experience.
Have the number of principal executives that the broker-dealer house business volume requires, who must have the corresponding licenses issued by the Superintendant. Every broker-dealer house must at least appoint one person as principal executive.
Articles of Incorporation must have a corporate purpose adequate to the activities related to the broker-dealer house business.
The 2001 Supreme Court Schedule sets attorney fees for brokerage house license application at least US$5,000. Government registration fees for a brokerage house are of US$5,000. In addition yearly supervision fee must be paid to the Superintendent equivalent to 0.0025% of yearly trades (min US$5,000.00 and max US$100,000.00).

A Travelling Post Office (TPO) is a postal receiving, sorting and delivery service situated on a train, usually in a specially designated carriage that is part of a passenger train. In Queensland, Australia, the service was provided from 1877 to 1932.

History
The first TPO service in Queensland commenced in 1877 utilising the second class compartments of two composite passenger carriages on the daily Brisbane-to-Dalby train operating on the Main Line and Western railway lines. A goods van was used on the Toowoomba-to -Warwick train operating on the Southern railway line in the same year, until special 4 wheel carriages were built later that year for the service. The service was extended to Roma and ultimately Charleville as the Western line was extended, and similarly on the Southern line to Stanthorpe, and then Wallangarra.

Mail Trains
The first designated 'Mail' train in Queensland was the Brisbane-to-Mitchell day train, with the title being transferred to the overnight service in March 1888 when the line was extended to Charleville.

The first overnight service was the Sydney Mail (with First class sleeping carriage) introduced in January 1888 following the opening of the New South Wales line to Wallangarra. It was also the first purely passenger service with a TPO, until then all trains with TPOs had been 'mixed', i.e. carried goods wagons as well as passenger carriages. Second class sleepers were introduced in 1903.

In 1885, a TPO was added to the Central West railway line, ultimately extended to Longreach as the line progressively opened. A First class sleeping carriage was introduced on the twice weekly Central West Mail in 1892, departing Rockhampton at 22:00 and reaching Longreach at 17:00 the following day. Second class sleepers were added in 1895.

TPOs (and First class sleepers) were introduced to the Townsville-to-Winton service on the Great Northern line in 1899, extending to Mount Isa as that line was opened, and on the North Coast line as far as Maryborough in 1900. Second class sleepers were added to both lines in 1905.

Guards on rural trains had been paid an allowance to accept letters from isolated communities for posting at the nearest town, but the TPOs were staffed by Post Office personnel.

TPOs were withdrawn from the North Coast line in 1930 and the other services in 1932 as an economy measure. Despite the loss of the TPO carriages, the services that had hauled them continued to be called Mail Trains, the last being the Dirranbandi Mail, withdrawn from service in 1993.

Wooden Sleeping Carriages
Following the introduction of The Inlander and subsequent air-conditioned sleeping car services in the 1950s, wooden sleepers cascaded to trains servicing places such as Kingaroy, Monto, Clermont, Springsure, Blackall, Dirranbandi, and returned to the Mount Isa line. Wooden sleeping cars were even added to overnight mixed Rockhampton to Mackay and Townsville to Cairns trains.

Finally, a weather app I can pay once to remove ads!
Some of the great weather apps on the App Store require a subscription to remove ads and access premium features. This one is a one time payment and no ads. Add to that their partnership with a local news station known for outstanding weather coverage and now you have a very accurate app with tons of features. I particularly like that when it's raining, one of the first thing the app shows me is how much longer it will be raining. Oh and the map, I believe, comes from the local news affiliate so it's really accurate and local. All in all, this may be the weather app I've been looking for. Cons: just that sometimes scrolling is janky and stutters. I have an iPhone XS, so I definitely have the latest and greatest. Make the app smoother when scrolling and navigating and you have a true winner! It's pretty easy for that to be optimized. I'd love to have some notifications. Maybe for platinum users we could receive notifications when there will be precipitation? Perhaps we can decide how much notice we want (10 minutes before precipitation, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, maybe a sliding selector?). Lastly, on dark mode, the top and bottom of my screen are still white. Why? Make everything dark or it looks odd. Thanks! I'm giving 5 stars because I still love it even though I hope they fix these few items.
Mr, Mzchf , 07/07/2018
Just replaced my favorite weather app
I have been a die hard user of Weatherbug until now. I noticed my girlfriend using AccuWeather and really liked the precipitation predictor dial. I downloaded AccuWeather and now I rarely use Weatherbug except for radar feature which is a bit more sensitive than AccuWeather's. The precipitation dial is very accurate, if it says it's going to rain in 15 minutes, it's accurate 99% of the time plus or minus a few minutes. My only wish is that it had a map for lightning location like Weatherbug. When I'm out joyriding on my motorcycle I want to know which direction to go to avoid lightning or if it's just time to head home because a big electrical storm is coming and there's no way to avoid it. That being said, I've tried many weather apps and this one is hands down the best I've found not only for accuracy but also because of the robust number features it has and how the information is presented in the UI. Did I mention the precipitation dial is great. There's nothing to lose here. Try the free version and if you abhor ads as much as I do, buy it for the reasonable one time price. I doubt you will be dis-app-pointed.

This app is confised & all WET!
I switched to Accuweather app from iPhone's standard Weather app b/c there was some sort of bug going on w/ that app & my phone—I wasn't properly getting severe weather alerts. (We had horrible flash floods & I didn't get a warning until it was already in the midst of the torrential rain & flooding.) So I switched to this app. Now, I do get warnings—but too many often inaccurate ones. I live in Catonsville and it told me there was a 'coastal' flood warnings for my town. This is ridiculous, b/c we are nowhere near the coast!
Right now, I woke up this morning to yet another torrential rain storm—we've had them all week. This morning's had not been predicted last night. I turned on my phone to look at the app to check it's weather report. The main screen showed only "some clouds" & the precipitation monitor showed 0%. The radar showed no rainstorm. And the hourly also only showed partial clouds. Yet, the rain gauge said "rain ending in 17 minutes"! Clearly the tail isn't talking to the head! What a totally confusing disconnect! Totally out of touch with reality of the weather here . Only after about 25 minutes later, as the storm was mostly subsiding, did it finally show on the main screen that a thunderstorm was going on. But the hourly still wasn't updated.
Needless to say, I can't vouch for the accuracy of the "Accu"Weather app!

Building Bikes For Social Mobility
By Real Leaders | Mar 16, 2018
Bicycles are a manifestation of what John Dengler has been trying to do with the homeless of Tampa, Florida for years. The city suffers from the second-highest rate of homelessness after Los Angeles, mainly due to temperate winters that allow those on the streets to survive year-round.
"In our society, if people don't have monetary value, they don't have value," says Dengler, who was on a mission to find gainful employment for those who sometimes found a part-time job across town, but still needed a way of getting across a city of 2,500 square miles.

As Dengler traveled around Tampa, he began noticing something strange. Thousands of abandoned bicycles – in police impounds, chained to city buses, around colleges, condos and apartment blocks. "Literally hundreds of thousands," he says. "You couldn't collect them all if you tried; just another example of our wasteful society."
Seeing homeless people the city didn't seem to value, and bikes that no one cared for, Dengler decided to put them together to create something new – Well Built Bikes. The organization teaches people on the streets how to build and recondition bicycles to sell at a fraction of a new one. Early challenges included by-laws preventing the homeless from gathering for too long in one place, complaints from neighbors wanting to keep undesirable elements away from gentrified suburbs and frequent run-ins with the law, that once saw Dengler getting beaten up.
The barrier to entry is low: a bag of cheap hand tools and parts that are easily sourced from discarded bikes. The organization prefers to bring in bikes that need some attention as it forces people to work. A sense of belonging and purpose has rippled through the Tampa homeless community. The Earn-a-Bike program earns a destitute person a free bike after putting in 10 hours of maintenance work at a Well Built repair shop.
"One part of our mission is to get homeless people to build their own bikes to use as personal transport; it transforms lives," says Dengler. "It's become a game-changer for those seeking work. When you own reliable transport you suddenly have access to job opportunities across the city, no longer constrained by the distance you can walk." One guy enjoyed his newfound freedom so much he even cycled across the state to visit his son in prison, a distance of a few hundred miles!
You'd think local bike shops would feel threatened by thousands of cheap bikes flooding the market, but Dengler notes that the cheapest bike in a commercial bike shop is still way more than their most expensive bike and doesn't pose any threat. "We operate somewhere between a bike shop and a pawn shop," he muses.
There's a common attitude that views for-profit ventures differently to charities. For some reason, people feel they must stop giving when a venture turns from non-profit to profit. This misguided way of thinking must change, according to Dengler. "Putting food or money into someone's hands is good, but how about exploring a more lasting solution. Buying a sandwich for a homeless guy is great, but he'll be hungry again in four hours and has to wait for you to reappear. There's an unhealthy relationship between rich and poor in the world, yet I think they actually need each other desperately. Poor people have a unique vantage point on how these systems work and rich people have stuff poor people can use. Look at Well Built Bikes – we started a business from rich people's junk."
The sense of pride, belonging and purpose felt by those involved in Well Built Bikes can best be illustrated by a story Dengler recently heard. A homeless guy involved in the program came across a middle-class girl on an expensive bike that had broken down. He took out his bike tools and had her back on the road in minutes. It must have been the last thing she expected and helped in some small way to bridge the divide between the haves and the have nots.
Dengler is on a mission to get these two worlds to talk. He believes this is how innovation will emerge and the healing process between disparate communities will begin. "Watching the homeless standing proudly with their bikes, saying 'I built this, I rode here,' is incredibly empowering. People become alive again. This potential has always been inside; they just needed someone to believe in them."

Coaching Ethics and the Developmental Process
Ethics are the standards of conduct and moral behavior specific to an organization. Coaches affiliated with all youth soccer organizations in the USA fall under the umbrella of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF). The following statements refer to the ethical standards expected from US coaches involved in educating young children in soccer and seeking to understand the reasons for children's participation in and growth through youth sport.
1. Ethics with regard to coaching for "Process" versus "Product": Coaches who place the outcome of games ahead of the ongoing needs of the participants are being unethical.
The primary reasons children play sports are to participate and learn new skills, to be with friends, to compete with and against others, and to have fun. They enjoy learning from new experiences and, as time goes on, from direct instruction. They do not like being scolded or abused for making mistakes and they would rather play in a losing effort than sit on the bench during a victory. They would also rather play in a close game than in a blowout. Very young children rationalize winning and losing to working hard; older children equate winning and losing with their skills and abilities, directly influencing their selfconfidence. Care must be taken to allow players between the ages of five and twelve the opportunity to become skillful and game savvy by focusing on their long-term development rather than their win-loss record.
2. Ethics with regard to Soccer Rules: Coaches who bait, antagonize, or otherwise challenge the decisions of the officials are being unethical.
It is the responsibility of the coach to understand the basic rules of play and to strive to educate his or her players to perform within the letter and spirit of the rules to the best of their abilities. Both novice and expert coaches, and especially those coaches who are also registered officials should appreciate that the application of the rules to the game is based on the interpretation of the officials. It is the coach's responsibility to model good sportsmanship and to demonstrate respect for the game. It is also the responsibility of the coaches to monitor and control any form of referee abuse by players, parents and other spectators.
3. Ethics with regard to Playing Time: Coaches who play only their better players in an attempt to win games, and those who do not provide young players with reasonable playing time, or adequate rest, are being unethical.
Youth sport is not a miniature version of adult sport and all young players have a right to enough playing time (in our club 50% minimum playing time for every player between age 5 years and 10 years ), regardless of the status or level of a contest. Players who do not regularly participate are at higher risk of dropping out, and no youth coach can predict which talented or round or awkward young player will become the star of tomorrow once maturation, talent and desire are coupled with a good training environment. It is also regarded as unethical to over-play children in an attempt to bolster the chances of a club winning multiple games played on the same day, or over a number of days, as is often the case at tournaments. Players who are fatigued face a higher risk of injury, and players who play an excessive number of games over a prolonged period or months or years are at higher risk for burning out and developing overuse injuries. It is also true that players who face excessive playing demands are often hurried back from injury, with serious potential for chronic joint instability as a result.
4. Ethics with regard to Positioning: Coaches who restrict the movement of players in small-sided games in order to win games are being unethical. Coaches who rigidly organize players into formal positions to artificially separate them are guilty of over-coaching.
The ability of players to understand positions starts to emerge around age ten and develops rapidly over the next few years. Small-sided games that do not require a formal midfield organization are designed to provide age appropriate and ability appropriate competition for players under the age of eleven. The intent is for players to enjoy freedom of movement within the game, thereby learning how to create and use space within small-group environments. Small- sided games can also help coaches better appreciate their "curriculum" in working with young children. In addition, two key elements of team play at U-11 and above are support for the midfield and forward lines from the defenders, and the natural movement of defenders into midfield and forward positions to create numerical superiority around the ball. The practice of positioning "Goalie Guards" close to the penalty area and restricting these players from moving with the team is clearly intended to limit the loss of goals. Finally, the practice of positioning attacking players in front of the opponent's goal to "Cherry Pick" does not help the team quickly transition to attack, nor does it help develop the important skills of playing with back to goal. Neither of these practices is in the best interests of the players.
5. Ethics with regard to Blowouts: Coaches who deliberately run up scores are being unethical.
Lopsided games in youth sports are inevitable and care must be taken to appreciate the sensitivity of young children to such events. Playing short-handed, adding players to the opponent's team, playing key players out of position, sitting key players for longer periods, playing with limited touches, restricting scoring from close range, and only scoring from crosses are some possible options for dealing with blow-out situations. At the youngest ages, adult coaches should consider playing in goal to help the losing team gain some measure of stability or consolation.
6. Ethics with regard to Player Advancement: The coach who seeks to retain a player(s) who has outgrown the knowledge and abilities of the coach for the implicit or explicit purpose of winning games is being unethical.
Players improve by playing with and against other good players, through personal motivation and independent practice, through study, through observation, and through good coaching. By far, the most important factors in player development are coaching and environment. At the top level, the successful coach is one who develops players to their fullest potential and reaps the rewards through the play of the team. The successful youth coach, in contrast, helps individual players develop to their fullest potential, or to the limits of the coach's knowledge, before moving them along to a higher level of play and a new learning environment. The unethical youth coach often seeks to covet his or her top performers for reasons of self-worth and personal gain, regardless of the short and long-term impact on the individual player.
7. Ethics with regard to Game Tactics: Coaches who use negative tactics and minimize the enjoyment of the players in order to win games are being unethical.
Winning youth soccer games is relatively easy. The coach who tells his or her players to take no risks with back passes; kick every ball forward; dribble the ball forward; stay behind the ball, or behind the half when playing as a defender; press the opposition into their half at every opportunity; and be very aggressive when defending, will win a higher percentage of their games. Youth coaches who play to win at all costs in this manner are guilty of practicing an insidious form of child abuse. The younger the players are when a coach displays this attitude, the less likely it is that they will ever experience the joy of actually playing soccer as it can be: An exercise in creative self-expression. It is quite easy to be "winning" youth soccer coach; it is much more difficult to be a "successful" youth soccer coach.
8. Ethics with regard to achieving Success by Recruiting: Coaches who recruit players as a convenient shortcut to "developing from within" are not only unethical, but also unprofessional.
The practice of recruiting good players to build a victorious youth organization often undermines the efforts of those coaches who understand the value and perils of building for long-term development. Yes, winning is enjoyable, but successful coaching is better defined as winning with an eye towards a competent end product. Player development takes at least 10 years, and embraces success and failure as necessary elements of the process. Perpetual victory is not in the players' best interests; nor is club-hopping in search of meaningless trophies and awards. Players need to be challenged to persevere and aspire; and to learn the value of loyalty to good coaches, even when the organization is not always successful. The ethics of coaches who cut and recruit players in order to win must be scrutinized. Victorious youth soccer organizations are not always reflective of coaching competence.
9. Ethics with regard to Respecting the Game
Soccer has been played worldwide in one form or another for over 4500 years, and in the United States since 1869. Over five million American children now play youth soccer. The first official soccer rules were codified in London, England in 1863 and the World Cup is the world's largest single sport event. It is the responsibility of each coach to demonstrate respect for the game by honoring players, spectators and officials, and by promoting positive character development to all young players in words and deeds. Coaches who fail to meet these standards by displaying poor sportsmanship and overreacting to the natural ups and downs of the game are being unethical.

Sony Pictures Networks celebrates "25 years of Sony", check here
The entertainment hub of our daily lives Sony Pictures Networks is celebrating their 25 years of glory. Starting as a single channel on October 8, 1995, it has flourished into a 24 channel network with digital OTT service Sony Liv, and film productions making each of our lives colourful.
The journey of Sony pictures networks (SPN) is remarkably fascinating. Giving us shows from every possible genre Sony has always maintained to keep all of its viewers happy. From thrilling action drama series 'CID' to best comedy 'The Kapil Sharma Show' SPN has never let us down. The group has introduced channels as per each of our interests. From our younger ones to elder citizens SPN has a great collection of programmes.
Hum chal rahe hai bahaaron mein, gungunaati raahon mein…since 1995! It's your support that has kept us going all this while! ☺ Here's to completing 25 glorious years of #BondsThatGoBeyond and to creating many more! ✨ @sonypicturesnetworks #25YearsOfSPN #GoBeyond
A post shared by Sony Pictures Networks (@sonypicsprodns) on Oct 8, 2020 at 12:23am PDT
The group celebrated its success of 25 years with the letter of CEO, MD NP Singh to media sharing the beginning, growths and ideas of SPN universe. He gave a quick journey through the life of SPN sharing his views and strategies while introducing any new project. The group invested in IPLs while there was hardly anyone thinking about it and which turned out to be one of the greatest sports programmes. As he wrote in his letter "we have had a fair share of challenges but have always taken them head-on" it is evident that this strong positive view has been a key in SPN's progress. Let's hope that we get to see many years of this group giving us a lot more beautiful experiences.

How to install SiS 771/671 Mirage 3 Video Drivers in ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)
Posted on May 12, 2010 by ruchi 24 Comments
This tutorial will explain How to install SiS 771/671 Mirage 3 Video Drivers in ubuntu 10.04
First you need to downlod the drivers from here .Once you downloaded you need to unzip them.
Open up a terminal and go to the path you've unzipped them in.(use the cd command to navigate to directory's) f.e; cd /home/user/Downloads
sudo cp sis671_drv.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
type in your password and press enter
then stop X server
We need to stop X or we won't be able to auto-generate a xorg.conf.new
sudo service gdm stop
you'll have to do next part blindly
Switch to tty1 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+f1
(f2 for tty2, f3 for tty3, etc.. (f7 should be X)
Even though you won't be able to read it (yet) you can login
type in your username and press enter
Now you're logged in you want to become root; type;
sudo bash
type in your password
Now your root; type in
Xorg -configure
(this will create a xorg.conf.new in your home directory)
and start gdm again with
service gdm start
Once there; Open up a terminal again;
move the auto-generated xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and restart gdm by typing;
sudo service gdm restart
Fix the plymouth and the unreadable tty problem like this
Open up a terminal and type
type;
echo blacklist vga16fb > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-vga16fb.conf
update-initramfs -u
and reboot your system

If after doing this your screen resolution is a mess yet, then you should do this:
~# sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
And check in the device section if you have configured the correct driver:
Driver "sis671"
If you don't, then change it. It's a detail, just then it worked for me.

hello, I have set my vga card "[SiS] 771/671 PCIE" but does not support 3D, any comments, to solve this problem?
Leo on July 30, 2010 at 11:43 pm said:
@Johnny – Forget about 3D support on linux, for SiS graphics cards.
SiS is very tied up with M$FT, in such a way, that they don't release the source code, for their cards.
The 2D support we have today, is in all parts, due to the developers community and, some SiS employees that now and then give some help.
This was one of the main reasons, that i stopped buying anything with this chipset (graphics wise!).

Athina Oikonomakou (, born 6 March 1986) is a Greek actress and businesswoman.

Early years
Oikonomakou was born in 1986 in Skala, Laconia, where she spent her childhood. At the age of 18, she moved in Athens to study at the Agricultural University of Athens. During the second year of her studies, in 2005, she decided to study acting and become an actress. She then moved on to Mimí Deníssi "Stage", from where she graduated in 2007.

Career

Television
Oikonomakou's television debut was in 2007, through the ANT1 series "Deligianneion Parthenagogeion" (directed by Christos Paligiannopoulos), with the role of student Domna Nika. In 2008, she participated in an episode of the romantic series "True Loves" on Alpha (directed by Vassilis Tselemegou), while she also starred in the commercial for Wash & Go. At the same time she took on her first starring role in television in the youth series "The Fearless" where she played with Giannis Vouros. The series was not a great success and was discontinued after just three months of airing.

In 2009, Oikonomakou starred in a commercial for the mobile phone company "Germanos" and made a brief appearance on the Mega Channel series, Latremenoi Mou Geitones as Danae. In the same year, she took the leading role of Xenia Pappas in the Mega Channel series, "The Life of the Other" (directed by Dimitris Arvanitis), a role that made her known to the general public, but also made it quite difficult for her to join the leading cast of the series. Oikonomakou had stated in an interview: "For the Life of the Other I did 30 castings with the director. I think he called me for two months every day and every day he gave me another text. I did not expect to take the role. I had suffered so much. I did so many castings because they did not want me from the channel. I was an inexperienced girl, very young, not at all known and the role was leading, very difficult and strong. So she had to convince them (the director) with many ways that I can." Finally, the series premiered on 27 September 2009 and due to its great success, it ended after three TV seasons, on 6 January 2012. At the same time, in December 2011, she started starring as Chryssa Maltezou in the Mega daily series, "Stolen Dreams", continuing her collaboration with the director Dimitris Arvanitis. In parallel with the daily series, in 2014 she participated in an episode of "Do not start the murmur" and starred in the Cypriot drama series "The Ring of Fire". In the 2015-2016 season, she starred in the comedy "The Worst Week of My Life" (directed by Stefanos Blatsou), along with Makis Papadimitriou, Arietta Moutousi and Gerasimos Skiadaresis.

From 2016 to January 2018, Oikonomakou starred in the Alpha TV series, "Ela sti thesi mou" playing the role of Faia Stathatou, but left due to pregnancy in the middle of the second season. she returned to the series in October 2018 at the beginning of the third season. Her presence in the series continued for the fourth consecutive season.

In November 2020, she appeared as a guest art director at Greece's Next Top Model with Maria Synatsaki for the advertising of their company, Project S.O.M.A.

Stage and film

Theatrically, Oikonomakou made her debut in 2008, with the play "The Flower of Levante" at the Anesis Theater, while in 2010, she participated in the play "The Cactus Flower", which was played in Thessaloniki. In the summer of 2011, she starred in the play "The Desperate" (directed by George Valaris) at the Athena Theater, the 2011-2012 season in "Method of Infidelity" (directed by Ch. Karchadaki) at the Veaki Theater and in the summer of 2012, she toured throughout Greece, with the play "The Baptisms" (directed by Nikos Moutsinas), which was also played at the Ark Theater in the winter season 2012-2013. In the summer of 2013, they toured again. In the 2013-2014 season, she played in the play "The KTEL" (directed by Nikos Moutsina), with which they performed in Thessaloniki in Summer 2014. She has stated that she wants to dedicate herself to her family and that is why she will be late to do theater again.

In the cinema, she has starred in four films. The first was "Bet of Angels" (2008) followed by "A Night in Athens" (2013) by Dimitris Arvanitis, "Amore mio" (2015) and "Magic Mirror" (2016) by Christos Dimas.

But justice is done as Wolves clear.
26' Lee Frecklington's first time volley from the edge of the box bounces narrowly wide of the Wolves upright. Ref awards a corner.
Henry celebrating the Rotherham goal?!
23' McDonald in space inside the angle of the Millers box, lifts a ball towards the back post that just drops wide.
Wolves attack again. McDonald flies the ball across goal but no one able to get a touch. Very open game now.
GOALSCORER CORRECTION: It was in fact, Joe Newell's touch in the area that turned Toffolo's ball into the box home.
Correction on the Rotherham scorer. Now thinking it was Newell and not Derbyshire.
Wolves almost back in again. Edwards with good touch to through ball and decent strike but Camp makes the save.
Cruel for Wolves having started so well,.
That's not what is meant to happen!!!
18' Pinball inside the Wolves box before the ball's finally turned in by Matt Derbyshire who glances shot in off the post.
17' Lee Frecklington rises to meet a Joe Newell cross from the left wing but can only head over under pressure from Ebanks-Landell.
16' Joe Newell released in behind the Wolves back line, he looks to cross low but it deflects into the hands of Ikeme.
James Henry has now scored more goals for Wolves than Billy Wright.
Good opening 15 minutes for Wolves. Looked a danger going forward and have enjoyed the best chances so far. 1-0 to the visitors.
Apologies your comments are coming through in massive bundles! Will get around to them as soon as I can.
12' Early sub for Rotherham: Danny Ward is replaced by Matt Derbyshire.

T. A. McMahon
At a conference not too long ago, I was asked to give a review of The Chosen TV Series. I did so, but before I began my critique, I informed the audience that I hadn't watched even one frame of the series, and my guess was that that revelation would make more than a few people upset with my criticisms. The immediate response by those enamored with the series about the life of Christ was to scorn everything I said, saying, "He's like those who criticize books, even the Bible, without having read them!" I can relate to that. I've had many discussions with some who tell me what the Bible says without having read it themselves, so I can see why my initial review and its approach would put some people off.
Since my first critique I have viewed a couple of the programs, parts of which I'll address. However, I want to explain why I believe watching the series is not necessary for rejecting it. In doing so, my explanations will appeal to Scripture and reason in light of Isaiah's words, "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD" (Isaiah 1:18).
Why isn't it necessary to watch The Chosen in order to criticize it, and how would that be any different than critiquing a novel without having read it? First of all, a novel is defined generally as "a fictitious prose narrative of book length, typically representing character and action with some degree of realism." In other words, it's a made-up story. Yet it must be read in order to be evaluated.
Not so with The Chosen. It professes to be true to the Bible's teachings, as well as a faithful representation of the Bible's stories and characters. The Bible, however, declares itself to be inerrant and infallible in all that it teaches, as well as God's authority in all that it commands. It's God's Word. If it condemns any attempt to visually represent the content and characters of the Bible (which it does) then one has no need to watch The Chosen because it claims to visually represent it—in direct disobedience to the Scriptures.
All biblical movies are visual translations and interpretations of the words and narrative presented in the Bible. If a Christian was aware that the Bible condemns visual translations and interpretations of the Scriptures, there would be no need to evaluate a movie or video series based upon the Bible before rejecting them. But does the Bible denounce any such attempts to translate/interpret it through a visual medium?
It does. And it does so in many indisputable ways. But before I point out the scriptures related to the Bible's denunciation of such productions, I need to present some of the components that are involved in the production of making a movie that must be considered when determining whether or not "biblical movies" can be truly biblical. These are things I know and have experienced while studying filmmaking in graduate school and having worked for 20th Century Fox studios for a number of years. I then moved on to a career as a screenwriter in Hollywood before being saved and spending four decades in Christian ministry with Dave Hunt.
This is how the process works. A movie begins with a screenplay. It's either an original story or a screen adaptation from someone else's work (such as the Bible). The screenplay or movie script, in addition to presenting the storyline or plot, the characters, and the dialogue, consists of visual descriptions of what is taking place in the movie story. For example, if a scene calls for a vehicle, a description is needed for the art director or prop man to find the right kind of car for a particular scene or purpose. If the script calls for the car to be crashed, that needs to be described in detail if the crash is going to be unique and significant to the storyline. This is just one example of the creative input that is necessary for the filmmaking process.
Although the screenwriter is the initial composer of the movie script, changes to the script always take place during filming. Such changes are usually made by the movie's director. Reasons for the changes from the original script are seemingly endless: actors' egos, budget cuts, weather problems, location problems, the executive producer's ego, the cameraman's "inspirational idea" for filming a scene, union problems, stunt failures, the director's ego, etc. The author of the motion picture, for the most part, is the screenwriter, even though contributions of interpretation also come from the director, the actors, and a host of others creatively involved in the filming process.
All of that and much more are involved in every attempt to translate the Bible itself into a theatrical motion picture for the silver screen and/or television. The question therefore, for every Bible-believing Christian, is this: Can the Bible be presented through the filmmaking process and stay true to what God's Word says about His Word?
Well, what does it say? Proverbs 30:5-6: "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar" (italics added). God's words are His words, written down by men, His prophets (2 Peter 1:20-21). "Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device" (Acts 17:29, emphasis added).
"I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book" (Revelation 22:18-19).
The Bible is God's revelation to all humanity, and His alone. "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ" (Galatians 1:11-12).
What then of a "biblical" movie? As with other theatrical endeavors, such a production comes about primarily through the screenwriter's interpretation of what has been written in Scripture. Add to that the movie-making necessities and changes, things such as a storyline and dialogue related to the plot that are obviously lacking in the Bible, they therefore must be supplemented by the screenwriter in order to create a theatrical production.
Character descriptions are limited, at best, and must be added in order for a casting director to select the actors. Along that line, how does one cast the sinless God/Man, Jesus Christ? The perfect attributes and righteous characteristics of the Son of God could never be displayed by an actor on the screen. When such an idea is incorporated into the script, the end result is a counterfeit Christ at best. In fact, such an attempt fits the very definition of blasphemy as one strives to apply human characteristics to Jesus that undermine His divine character.
I hope you're getting the picture here (pun intended) that any effort to translate the Bible into a visual medium must result in a veritable distortion of God's Word which is why such attempts are condemned.
For anyone who doesn't understand what I mean by calling such efforts "distortion" resulting from man's input, it begs this question: "What do you really believe about the Bible?"
Do you understand it to be God's direct communication to mankind? Do you realize that the Bible is totally of Him and from Him? Do you get the fact that without His divine revelation about Himself and His created beings, finite and fallen humanity is left with only opinions, guesses, speculations, and the like about Jesus Christ and the gospel of salvation? Those so-called contributions by humans have led to the multitude of man-fashioned religions that purport to give insights regarding God.
Do you believe that God's Word is "given by inspiration of God" (i.e., God-breathed—2 Timothy 3:15-17)? Do you believe the Apostle Paul's Holy Spirit-inspired exhortation to the Thessalonians: "…when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe" (1 Thessalonians 2:13)? What do you think about Luke 4:4: "It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God" (emphasis added)?
The Apostle Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, did not mince words: "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:6-9, emphasis added).
Every believer in Jesus Christ must come to a true biblical belief in His Word. If what a person is taught about Jesus is not true to the Person revealed in the Scriptures, that character is "another Jesus," a "false Christ," no matter how endearing and engaging the actor may be (2 Corinthians 11:4, Matthew 24:24). The same is true regarding all the actors representing biblical characters.
Movies are perhaps the most seductive of all media the world over. I learned as a screenwriter that manipulating an audience's emotions was the key to a box-office success: make them laugh, make them weep, frighten them, make them cheer, arouse their passions, their lusts. In other words, control their emotions. That power of persuasion through the film medium seduces believers who normally would recognize that they are being snared by a fictional screen character. The comment most often given by those who enjoy the TV series is "I really like a lot of the human qualities displayed by The Chosen's Jesus. It's so easy to relate to him." Others have said similar things about their favorite "disciples."
Remember, what is presented in the Bible is wholly of the Holy Spirit. It is exactly what God wants us to know and believe. That's what sets believers apart from the so-called spiritual insights of humanity: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth" (John 17:17). Anything that "adds" to that truth, no matter how emotionally and "spiritually" moving, is condemned as having corrupted God's truth.
I've been told that my writing about and speaking out against "biblical" movies (Showtime for the Sheep; and "The Bible According to Hollywood") have come at a time in which the movie industry is finally "supporting Christianity," and therefore I am "speaking out against the cause of Christ."
Although that may seem to be a reasonable objection to many, it's actually a rationalization that dismisses what inevitably takes place in the movie-making process of translating the Bible visually. It also demonstrates an ignorance of the culture of Hollywood, which is no friend of biblical Christianity. Tinsel Town's only motivation is box-office—in other words (in the King James version), "filthy lucre." And as we know from Scripture, "The love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Timothy 6:10).
Even so, The Chosen series is condemned by the Bible first and foremost because it adds man's ideas (his beliefs, concepts, viewpoints, conceptions, images, perceptions, his religions, and especially his feelings, etc.) to what God alone has communicated. It makes no difference how far afield the additions are—even the smallest contribution would not be of God, but of man.
For those who are still not seeing the problem with this, let's consider a program that makes the highly publicized claim that it's helping people get to know Jesus better and to recognize similarities with the "Jesus of different faiths." What if the Jesus we are being introduced to is not the biblical Jesus, but rather a spirit that was produced in heaven? Suppose he was the spirit brother of Lucifer, and his earthly birth was not by a virgin but came about through sexual intercourse with Mary by his father god who resides on a planet near a star called Kolob? What if this "Jesus" worked toward becoming a god by taking Mary, her sister Martha, and Mary Magdalene as wives, and thereby producing children necessary for him to become a god? And the godhood that this Jesus achieved enabled him to become the god of this world, taking his place among the multitude of gods ruling over numerous other worlds?
Hopefully you're thinking, "That's not the Jesus I know from God's Word!" However, it is the "Jesus" that the executive producer of The Chosen, Derral Eves, believes in, as do most of the other series' producers such as Ricky Ray Butler and Jeffrey and Neil Harmon. Neil Harmon, as co-founder with his brother Jeffrey of VidAngel (now ironically titled Angel Studios—see Galatians 1:8), the Utah-based distributor of The Chosen, declared that he and his brother Jeffrey are "faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We love Jesus and we love our faith in Christ."
If that were the Jesus that The Chosen series is introducing us to, would that be a concern? As some may have surmised, the Jesus described above is not the biblical Jesus but rather the Jesus of Mormonism, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the faith to which many of the series producers belong. But is that the Jesus of The Chosen? Thus far in the series the fundamental doctrines of Mormonism have not been plainly presented. Could they be? Yes—but perhaps not yet.
Yes, because The Chosen's audience has been conditioned to accept whatever the screenwriter, director, and other creative personnel contribute, with no apparent concern for biblical accuracy. The program that launched the series, for example, was the background story of Mary Magdalene that included the death of her father when she was young, her being raped by a Roman soldier, and the failure of Nicodemus as he attempted to exorcise demons from her. Those details came not from Scripture but from the imagination of those who contributed to the script. Yet for the greater number of viewers, few of whom have read the Bible, the images they watched were received as though they are actually in the Bible.
I've been told biblical movies are great motivators for people to check the Bible out. Really? What happens when they can't find the movie scenes such as the gritty backstory of Mary Magdalene? Furthermore, most people would rather watch a highly dramatized Bible story with little concern that it's fiction than read the actual words of Scripture. "Based on a true story" is good enough, even though the "based" part is a movie fabrication.
I have interviewed numerous believers who viewed so-called biblical movies, and although most of these Christians knew the Bible pretty well, I was dismayed to find that they actually believed that many of the unbiblical scenes in those productions were found in the Bible! Difficulty in distinguishing between what one may have read in the Bible and what one saw on screen in an alleged biblical movie is one of the damaging effects of presenting biblical content visually. That notwithstanding, why would a believer in God's Word fill his or her head with things that are made to appear biblical by a film company—but are not?
My "perhaps not yet" comment has to do with Mormonism's continual attempt to promote itself as basically Christian in its theology. For years the organization has strived to be accepted as just another Christian denomination. The only way that can happen is if the LDS Church initially conceals its fundamental beliefs and packs its promotional productions with all sorts of unbiblical scenes and characters. The more that such corruptions are accepted, the wider the door opens for any-and-all beliefs to be introduced, including the bizarre doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It also helps to have a professing evangelical writer/director (Dallas Jenkins) working on The Chosen. His promotional interview with a Mormon apologist is a classic example of obfuscatory ecumenism, meaning he does his best to muddy the waters between foundational biblical Christianity (which he claims to believe) and the cultic teachings of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. His ecumenism is made clear in his own words: "I said that many LDS folks and I love the same Jesus. I still believe that. It's gotten me in a lot of trouble but I still believe that."
When Jesus was asked by His disciples about the days just prior to His return, He said, "Take heed that no man deceive you" (Matthew 24:4). That's a penetrating description of the days in which we are living, a time in which "sound doctrine" has all but vanished throughout Christendom (2 Timothy 4:3). Sound doctrine is the full and absolute counsel of what God has communicated in His Word. Anything added to that by man in his attempt to visually portray God's word is a counterfeit—a fictitious deception.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, there is no need to watch any episodes of The Chosen in order to decide whether or not they are supported by God's Word. All a Bible-believing Christian has to hear is that the television series attempts to represent the stories and characters found in the Scriptures; that inevitably results in adding all kinds of content to the Bible, the action of which is clearly condemned.
For those who nevertheless are enamored with The Chosen yet claim they know and love the Scriptures, The Chosen television series begins with background information about Mary Magdalene nowhere found in the Bible, as noted, but is produced out of the imagination of all the creative movie people, from the screenwriters to the director, and on down the production line. What then of additions to the final episode of season two (although examples are found throughout the entire series)? We're shown that the disciples are in charge of producing the speaking events of Jesus (e.g., crowd control, distributing flyers for his events, setting up a stage complete with curtains for his presentation of the Sermon on the Mount). Do the Scriptures tell us that the wardrobe of Jesus for his stage appearance was decided upon by four women? Did Jesus, along with his mother, pine for his stepfather Joseph before his preaching on the Mount…or anywhere else in Scripture? Was Matthew, as seen throughout the series, the continual script advisor regarding the content of the sermons and teachings of Jesus? Did Jesus anxiously have to rehearse his preaching before delivering his teachings to the crowd? All those things are found in The Chosen. They are not only missing from God's Word, their inclusion amounts to blasphemy—that is, a blatant mischaracterization of God manifested in the flesh.
Those who are drawn to the Jesus of The Chosen have been seduced into believing in a character who is not the perfect God/Man presented in God's Word, but rather a man-made counterfeit Christ whose ministry had to be enabled through the input of his disciples. That's not the Jesus Christ of God's inerrant, infallible, and all-sufficient God-breathed Word.
Those who claim to believe the Scriptures but are drawn to The Chosen need to heed the Bible's far-reaching warning: "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before" (Matthew 24:24-25).
(For further insights into the problems with visually translating the Bible, we recommend Showtime for the Sheep and "The Bible According to Hollywood." For materials related to the cult of Mormonism we recommend The God Makers and "Mormon Fiction" [see TBC article August 2003]. More importantly, we highly recommend reading Psalm 119:1-176.)

Connecticut Lyric Opera's 'Barber of Seville' at Conn College mixes pratfalls with fine singing
Published March 14. 2015 4:00AM

Publication: theday.com
"Aguilar was perfectly cast as Rosina. Small and pretty, the Mexican-born soprano had both the voice and characterization to fully inhabit a character that is often fairly hollow. For starters, she clearly delighted in the florid coloratura of her role, and she projected a sense of true pleasure in the most technical roulades, often batting her eyes and beaming at the end of phrases. Her animated expressions, her asides and double takes, brought the comedy to life."

Did you know that Tucson is rated one of the top cities for biking in the U.S? This is in part due to the unique culture and diversity offered by our sunny city. The city of Tucson is an Art Gallery. Let's explore the city's culture and history by touring public artworks on bike! While we are at it, let's learn as much about the bikes upon which we are relying as possible. We will hop on our bikes to hunt down some of the city's most unique murals and recycled art pieces, plus we will spend time learning the basics of bike repair and maintenance. We will explore using old bike parts to create art works of our own. And finally, we will contribute to a unique mural project in our city! Hurray for Tucson! Hurray for bikes and art.
DIG DIY – Do it green, Do it yourself!
Build it, grow it, plant it, conserve it, make it, fix it, recycle it, reuse it and love it! Let's love this awesome planet and learn how to treat it right while learning how to answer the question, "how do you…?". We will build a chicken coop and learn about planting and growing food, making goat cheese and lots of other fun ways to live a green life. We will have a chance to work with tools, explore gardens, play with trash and dirt and hopefully start a PFFS garden here at school. Do you DIG DIY?
This is the 7th year we are offering this intersession experience – it is always an amazing experience for everyone involved. About 20 of us will be staying in cabins at the Prescott Pines Camp (Prescott, AZ @ 3 hours northwest of Tucson) and engaging in a variety of activities together that push our physical, mental, emotional and social/interpersonal limits. We will participate in a challenge course, nature hikes and a hayride, as well as, a variety of ongoing discussions about racism/ prejudice, social cliques, and bullying. A large part of this intersession experience will be working together – through the unexpected challenges that arise.
Are you always listening to your favorite band or constantly singing, playing an instrument, or even just drumming on your desk? Do you love the outdoors and are you interested in getting outside of your every day routine? If you answered yes to any of those questions then this is definitely the Intersession for you! We will be exploring all different types of music from rock to hip-hop to classical to soul, we will learn basic music skills from professional musicians, and we will even play our own music-ending some of the nights around a cozy camp fire under the desert stars. This is the time and space for you to experiment and challenge yourself whether you are a practicing musician or you just love to listen to music. Our goal is to form an Intersession band and to perform for PFFS and possibly at other special events. If you want to shake your soul and rock your socks off at this overnight Intersession – the Rock & Soul Campout is the right tune for you!
Explore the desert through the eyes of an archaeologist. Archaeo-what? (One who studies past civilizations). We will travel to several sites in Arizona studying the historic inhabitants, geology, and ecology. Atlatls, pemmican, pottery, shelters, and more await us as we travel to Tonto National Monument, Montezuma Castle, and Tuzigoot National Monument. We will camp at Lake Roosevelt and outside Camp Verde on our road trip through the past. The extra miles will require us to leave on Sunday and come home Thursday. Learn while on an adventure!

A monolayer of a ferrocenyl hemicyanine was covalently self-assembled on an indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrate, and was characterized by UV/Vis absorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The photoelectrochemical properties and mechanism of photocurrent generation have also been studied. This monolayer film was found to exhibit a large anodic photocurrent density of 0.13 microA/cm2 with the highest photoelectric yield of 3.32% under irradiation of white light (730 nm > lambda > 325 nm) at a bias potential of +0.4 V versus saturated calomel electrode.
