...Mary Schapiro In her role at the SEC, Mary Schapiro was known as one of the world's most powerful female regulators. She was named chair in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. As chairman, she helped strengthen and revitalize the agency by overseeing a more rigorous enforcement program and shaping new rules for Wall Street. During her tenure, the agency's work force brought about a record number of enforcement actions and achieved significant regulatory reform to protect investors. Schapiro leaves behind an agency that has regained its footing, stature, and morale following desultory leadership under its previous two chairmen and its embarrassing lack of action preceding the financial crisis. Under Schapiro, the SEC, which is usually thought to be the most prominent and important financial regulatory body in the country, brought a huge number of enforcement actions against financial institutions. Her job was to assess what went wrong and to ensure it didn’t happen again. During four years as SEC chairman, Schapiro presided over one of the busiest rule-making agendas in the SEC's history, during which the agency also brought a record number of enforcement actions, and executed a comprehensive restructuring program to improve protections for investors.

...last year of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred for an anti-Vladimir Putin protest in Russia's main cathedral. One of the women has had her sentence suspended on appeal." Judge Galina Yefremova rejected the petition, saying the court that sentenced Alekhina had already taken the child’s existence into account. Reaction: The crime that the two women had committed was very disrespectful, and definitely deserved harsh prosecution. They interrupted a church service and subjected people to whatever point they were trying to make. They covered their faces in church, a big disrespect in the Orthodox religion, stormed the Altar, forcing the church service to stop. Also, women are not allowed in Orthodox Altars, sang a prayer to the Virgin Mary which included swearing. Sinning there. and had their backs to the Altar, another disrespect. Imagine this happening in a Catholic church or a Muslim mosque. No one would be defending these girls if that was the case. But it was an Orthodox church in Russia, which is why people find this anti-Putin-ism related. They interfered with the Orthodox religion, showing disrespect and I support the court ruling. However, the issue that one of the woman brings up...

...The six works of American art that I have chosen all represent women. These paintings show how women were depicted by American artists. Some of the works of art show only women or children, while one of the portraits shows a couple. John Singleton Copley painted Portrait of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mifflin (Sarah Morris). This is the only portrait that I have selected that shows both man and woman. I feel that these six works of art show the growth of how women were presented from 1671-1893. The works of art that I have selected are Mrs. Elizabeth Freake and Baby Mary(1671-74), Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mifflin(1773), The White Girl(1862), Miss Amelia Van Buren(1891), A Virgin(1892-93),and Lady Agnew of Lachnaw(1892-93. I believe that these paintings are similar in many ways, yet different as well. Anonymous, Mrs. Elizabeth Freake and Baby Mary, This painter, although unknown, can be attributed to half-dozen portraits that were painted in Boston. This colonial painter shows their knowledge of traditional British portraiture that is derived from representations of Elizabeth I. As you can see by looking at this painting, this artist gave more attention to the clothing that Mrs. Elizabeth Freake is wearing then to Mrs. Freake’s characteristics. This portrait was done in oil on a 42 ½ X 36 ¾ “ canvas. One way that I feel that this painting is different than the other paintings is that it is a pendant portrait. This was painted to hang next to the portrait of Mr. Freake. These paintings...

...even gave the disciples authority over unclean spirits with power to cast them out and to cure all kinds of diseases and sickness as in the Gospel today. But for me, what can I do? I cannot cure the sick nor diseases. I do not even have the power to cast out the unclean spirit. The Rector cannot provide me what Jesus provides for the disciples. Well, I do not expect that the Rector is like Jesus. So the Rector gave us a word of encouragement. Just go to the Hospital and smile. So we went to the Hospital and the moment we entered into the ward, we were chased away by the patient. I felt discourage at that time, but not strong enough to pull me down. The second time we went, I brought Mother Mary and St Joseph together with me so that we will not be chased away again. So it does. Mother Mary and St Joseph help us through the day. I cannot do like what the disciples did, so I have to focus on what is possible to do. And what is possible for us is just being with them and smile. St. Francis once says that, preach...

...The included image is a print of an original work titled Creation, by calligraphist Donald Jackson and nature illustrator Chris Tomlin. This print hangs in a frame within the home of Dr. Beverley Connelly. The original work is one of many such images found in the Saint John’s Bible, located in the Hill Museum and Manuscript Library at Saint John’s University. This is a piece that is beautiful, dynamic, and expressive, as well as asymmetrical and representational. This piece is meant to be viewed from the bible itself, as a spiritual experience or reference. It is a visual aid to the writing within the bible, showing the creation of the world through the seven days in the book of Genesis. Prints of the work are sold online so that viewers may take the art home and experience it firsthand whenever they wish. The print in Dr. Connelly’s home is hung at eye level, in a simple frame, so you may stand as close or as far away from it as you desire. In her home it is a visual representation of the beliefs of her and her partner, as well as an inviting decoration. Creation is composed asymmetrically, but does incorporate symmetry in a number of places. The image is linear, telling a story that happens in a sequential order. The sequence is divided into seven visible pillars that lay side by side horizontally. Arrangement is simple, with a few more complex attributes throughout. Line is used to denote movement or the passage of time and actions. Some naturalistic images are also used...

...Artist, Kirk Clark, created a marvelous 2-D artwork in the religious category; it represents the positive and negative people of same sex marriage. This art piece is called Birth of an Angel (BA) at Beyond Arts Gallery in downtown Harlingen, Texas. Kirk Clark was born right here in the valley in McAllen, Texas and studied sculpture and drawing in the mid-60s, graduating from The University of New Mexico. As already stated this piece is a 2-D artwork done marvelously. There are so many vibrant colors on the top symbolizing heaven yet dark colors on the bottom symbolizing earth. These colors are formed in wiggly lines all around the painting, but one part of the painting forms an angel in a cool color of silver. One pattern you can see is in the angel formed with silver lines and silver dots to notice the angel in the painting. The angel can be seen as very graceful and honorable in a religious evaluation. I believe this painting symbolizes the darkness our world has become. Heaven is the vibrant colors in the painting; our key to a better home. Our world has become so dark and cruel on so many levels. Some of our people hate on those for loving their same sex partner. Love is love no matter whom or what is may be. I believe God loves all his children no matter their mistakes or whoever they may love. Our world should see that no matter what God loves everyone so they should as well. Matthew 6:14-15 states “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive...
