Jacob lived in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan. These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him. Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more. ... Bible Scripture Wall Art
Without works of gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood our world would be confused. Our currency would be difficult to manage, our world olympians wouldn't receive beautiful crafted metals and our homes would be less structured along with the rest of our lives.

He measured the length of the building along the front of the separate area behind it, with a gallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court. The thresholds, the latticed windows and the galleries round about their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement.read more.

He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals. Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz. On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished. Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference. Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward. It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths. Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits. This was the design of the stands: they had borders, even borders between the frames, and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side. Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round. The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself. On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it. He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around. He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form. He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin. Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south. Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the LORD: the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars; and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea; and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were of polished bronze. In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained. Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the LORD: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence; and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold; and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold. Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished And Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better than a liar. The fear of the Lord leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied; he will not be visited by harm. The sluggard buries his hand in the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth. Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge. ... Share Your Faith Products Canvas Art

He made 300 shields of beaten gold, using three minas of gold on each shield, and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with refined gold. There were six steps to the throne and a round top to the throne at its rear, and arms on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms. Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom. All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None was of silver; it was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon. Christian Art and Gifts

Remember that biblical art, as a visual representation of the Bible, is not always rated "G." The Bible is not a children's story, so some biblical art contains nudity or bloody depictions of violence. Not all things in the Bible are beautiful and calming; many times biblical stories are full of distortion and dissonance. As such, biblical artwork will tell the full Story of God that includes creation, fall, and redemption, with each of its harsh realities. As in all of life, the believer is called to be discerning.
From the very first verse of Scripture, God reveals himself as the Creator, an Artist. Everything within the universe is a magnificent element of the Great Artist's masterpiece. As works of art created in God's own image (Gen 1:27), people are endowed with the ability to create as well. We can choose to join the Master Artist by being artists ourselves. Christian Canvas Art

And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre. He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze. And he was full of wisdom, understanding, and skill for making any work in bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all his work. He cast two pillars of bronze. Eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference. It was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers. The second pillar was the same. He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were lattices of checker work with wreaths of chain work for the capitals on the tops of the pillars, a lattice for the one capital and a lattice for the other capital. ...

Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" ...

Il existe deux œuvres de Guido Reni représentant Atalante et Hippomène. La première est au Musée Capodimonte de Naples à Naples, le second au Musée du Prado à Madrid. Elles diffèrent légèrement par leur taille, la version de Naples mesurant  pendant que celle de Madrid est légèrement plus grande à . Les deux oeuvres ont été peintes entre 1618-1619.

Il représente Atalante et Hippomène, deux personnages de la mythologie grecque, tel que les décrit l'écrivain d'expression latine Ovide, dans Les Métamorphoses au Livre X. Atalante a promis d'épouser celui qui parviendrait à la battre à la course. L'un de ses soupirants, Hippomène, laisse tomber des pommes d'or du jardin des Hespérides durant l'épreuve. Atalante s'empresse d'aller les ramasser, laissant Hippomène libre de remporter la course.

In my newsfeed recently I have seen articles on both sides about Trump's comments to Billy Bush on the Access Hollywood bus. Some have been brave and well spoken, and others, well they've suggested that that's just how men talk when women aren't around and how it's not a big deal. It's just locker room talk. Men will be men.
I will acknowledge that, with most things, there is a continuum to this, but let me just say I've never heard "boys will be boys" used to describe a male child helping his family clean up after dinner or doing his homework. I instead hear it used when a male child disobeys, plays rough, or acts out in class. Which translates to me as an oblique way of saying, "this child has a tendency toward disobedience, and we've not figured out how (or have stopped trying) to discipline him for it." So in many ways they are words of defeat or a cry for help. Because the thing is, don't all children have a tendency to disobey to some degree to another?
Now granted, I was that child where you could say, "I'm disappointed in you" and I would feel guilty for days. I understand all children are different, but I'm suggesting that what shouldn't differ from male children to female children is our expectations for them to live within healthy boundaries. It's again about expectations.
You see, research into expectations shows some really interesting things. Our expectations about a child actually effect that child's actions. Research in the 1970s led by Ray Rist showed that teachers expectations of their pupils, from past reports, meeting their parents, how they dressed, but not any test of their academic performance, affected how well they thought those students would do in school. Which in turn affected how they interacted with those students. In summary, teachers' created a self-fulfilling prophecy, and the students they thought wouldn't do well, regardless of intelligence, didn't do as well.
Studies of expectations have even been shown to have an effect on rats. A man named Robert Rosenthal did a study where he went into his lab and labeled some cages of rats as 'smart rats' and some as 'dumb rats.' In fact, they were all just rats. Then his students ran their rats through mazes and tasks. The results seemed almost crazy in that the "smart" rats did almost twice as well as the "dumb" rats, even though they were all just rats. It turned out that the students' expectations affected how they interacted with the rats in all sorts of small ways. They touched the rat more gently, felt more warmly toward the rat, and in turn, the rat preformed better.
Now I'm not trying to compare children to lab rats. I just think that this study does a fantastic job of pointing out how our expectations come through in small, almost unperceivable actions, and how those actions in turn shape our overall behavior.
So, back to boys being boys. There are behaviors that society has come to expect from boys as 'natural' without thinking about how we as parents, caregivers, teachers, etc. might be reinforcing said behavior. If, when a girl pushes another child she is disciplined, but when a little boy pushes another child it gets shrugged off as just being a boy, we are reinforcing that stereotype. When we tell little girls "he's being mean to you because he likes you" we're perpetuating that problem. This is undervaluing how boys can behave with boundaries and good discipline. If our expectations can shape our interactions with children, then I would hope that our expectations would be setting up both boy and girl children for success, problem solving skills, understanding good boundaries, and accountability for their actions.
Because we have had too many examples of what it looks like when men (and by men I mean mostly white men, particularly rich and/or athletic white men) grow up having their behavior excused. Just this year we saw Brock Turner, Ryan Lochte, and now Trump get special treatment or have excuses made on their behalf for abhorrent behavior. Some might suggest that they are the exception to the rule, and I hope and believe so, but seeing people excuse Trump's comments has made me nauseated this week.
So here's the thing – it matters how we talk to little boys and what we expect of them. It matters that their disobedience is not shrugged off at a young age. It matters how we teach our young men to treat women and that we talk to them about consent and respect and taking responsibility for their own actions. It matters that we stand up to men in positions of power and privilege and those who protect them. It matters that we not say, "boys will be boys" or "men will be men." Our words, our actions or lack of actions, in the care and raising of boy children play a part in where we are today. Our children deserve that we raise our expectations.

If you plan to live, work, get married, study, or conduct business outside the U.S., most likely, you will be asked to have your documents apostilled or authenticated (legalized). If your document is intended for a foreign country, in most cases, it cannot be presented as is. It needs to bear certain seals that will make it legal and valid outside the United States. If the country of intended use is Hague country (a country that joined the Hague Apostille Convention), then the document has to be legalized by an Hage Apostille. Apostilles are sometimes called "international notary certificates".
In Washington DC, as in all states of the United States of America, an apostille is a separate page attached to the document. It is attached to the document by two staples. As required by the Hague Apostille convention, each apostille has the title "Apostille", the reference to the Hague Convention, and the following ten items: (1) country where the apostille is being issued ("United States of America"); (2) name of the official (whose signature is being certified by an apostille); (3) the position or capacity of this official (4) name of the seal on the attached document, (5) name of the city where the apostille is being issued ("Washington DC"); (6) the date when the apostille is being issued; (7) position of the official person who signed the apostille ("Secretary of the District of Columbia" in case of DC apostilles, and "Assistant Authentication Officer" in case of federal apostilles); (8) consecutive number of the apostille"; (9) the seal of the apostille issuing agency (the Seal of the DC Secretary of State, in case of DC apostilles, and the Sela of the U.S. State Department in case of federal apostilles; (10) signature. In addition, apostilles issued by the DC Secretary of State have the following text: "This apostille is not valid anywhere within the United States of America, its territories or possessions. This apostille only certifies the authenticity of the signature and the capacity of the person who signed the public document, and, where appropriate the identity of the seal or stamp which the public document bears. This apostille does not certify the content of the document for which it was issued."
An apostille confirms only the authenticity of the signature of the person on the attached document (e.g. a notary public, the Registrar of Vital Statistics, etc.) and the authenticity of the seal or stamp, if any, on the attached document. Apostilles do not in any way confirm the content of the document.
According to the provision of the Apostille Convention, apostille issuing authorities cann attach apostilles to the document in any way they see fit. Different countries have different procedures and use different ways of attaching apostilles. The DC Secretary of State uses staples. According to the Apostille Convention "Failure to affix an apostille to the public document in a particular manner is not a basis for refusing an apostille."
First of all, it has to be a certified copy issued by the DC Department of Health. Plain copies of birth certificates are not eligible. Secondly, it has to be recent. If your document was issued a long time ago, most likely, the signature of the Registrar is no longer on file, therefore the birth certificate cannot be apostilled.

Let's talk about The Vyderac!
Vyderacs require the blood of living creatures to survive, and the five specialized types work together with terrifying efficiency to see that the needs of the hive are met. See below the jump for a super rough writeup of them all!
The Vyderac Matron creates Vyderac Maggots and transforms Maggots into Seekers, Swarmers, or Feeders as the hive requires. She is permanently attached to the location of the hive but hardly defenseless. She is heavily armored, and capable of spitting corrosive acid 50' or more. The acid contains strong pheromones, so if she is ever caught alone, she won't remain alone for long. Matrons prefer to create their hives in trees, but can sometimes be found in caves or ruins.
Maggots are both the juvenile form of all the different types of Vyderac as well as the hive's workers. When a new queen forms a nest, the first several broods of maggots hollow out the inside of the tree. They are unable to process wood pulp, but they eat enough that they literally explode. Most of these maggots go outside the tree to explode so that their corpse and the wood pulp can serve to reinforce and lightly armor the outside of the hive. After this initial batch of maggots expands and armors the hive, the Matron fills much of the new cavity with more maggots that she will tap to become Seekers, Swarmers or Feeders. A maggot tapped to specialize will climb into the Matron's large fleshy sack, where it will form a "nodule" and pupate for a time before eventually ripping its way out once its metamorphosis is complete.
Seekers are able to "see" the flow of warm blood in creatures. They are exceptionally fast and agile flyers and capable of spitting paralytic poison at their prey. This poison is laced with pheromones that summon Swarmers and Feeders to the scene.
Swarmers are very small (like the size of a baseball) but they appear in huge numbers. Swarmer tend to stay on land, but are capable of short distance flight. Their purpose is to ensure that the prey does not harm the Feeder. Swarmers do not typically damage prey directly, preferring to simply climb all over it instead. Should a Swarmer bite warm blooded prey, as soon as they ingest the blood they turn to stone and die. A single stone Swarmer weighs ~2 pounds.
As the prey lies on the ground, partially paralyzed and covered in a mass of Swarmers (some likely stone), the Feeders will fly onto the scene. Feeders have a giant sack on their back, like a balloon. When the sack is full you can hear the blood sloshing around inside it for quite a distance. Feeders fly very slowly, and some say it almost looks like they "hop" through the air instead of "fly". The front two legs of the Feeder end in hooks and can be rapidly extended like a frog tongue or "hookshot". As a Feeder approaches prey it shoots out these hooks and pulls itself over, rapidly closing the gap. Once hooked onto their prey, armored plates that normally cover it's "mouth" open and a long needle like appendage shoots into the prey with extreme force. A single Feeder can drain two pints of blood per minute, and one feeder can comfortably hold the blood of a single average sized human. After filling itself with blood the Feeder returns to the hive where it empties its haul into the Matron's large "scoop shaped" appendage, and the cycle continues.
