    ANIMAL-TO-HUMAN HEART TRANSPLANT
    January 23, 1964 - University of Mississippi, U.S.A.

    The first animal to human heart transplant was made. Dr. James Hardy at the University of Mississippi transplanted the heart of a chimpanzee (named Bino) into the chest of Boyd Rush (age 68) in a last-ditch effort to save the man's life because no human was heart available. The newly-transplanted heart beat on its own; but it was too small to maintain independent circulation and Rush died after 90 minutes. Hardy had to endure some severe criticism. (This was three years before Christiaan Barnard performed the first successful human heart transplant). Hardy also made the first human lung transplant in 1963 and a double-lung transplant that left the heart in place in 1987.

    FIRST EXTINCT-ANIMAL CLONE
    January 23, 2009 - Aragon, Spain

    The birth and 7-minute life of the first extinct-animal clone was described in the journal Theriogenology. A clone of the Pyranean ibex, or bucardo, was created using DNA from frozen skin samples taken in 1999 from the last individual before it died (6 Jan 2000). The mother was a closely-related subspecies of the Spanish ibex. The surrogate goat was implanted with an egg into which the bucardo's DNA had been inserted to replace the original genetic material. The research effort was the work of a team of scientists at the Center for Agro-Nutrition Research and Technology in Aragon, Spain. The team had implanted 208 embryos in different goats, of which seven became pregnant. Of those, just one resulted in a live birth, a clone that died within 7 minutes of respiratory failure due to lung defects. The bucardo thus went extinct a second time.

Contemporary canvas art can be intelligently teamed with your decor and furniture to add life to your dull and bland rooms. Bare walls may wear a boring look. Instead, the right kind of painting or art piece can really make things look urbane, inspiring, visually appealing and even morale-boosting. But choosing any art work may not go well with your furnishing and general decor style. It is important to invest in the right kind of modern abstract art paintings.

The first step towards this direction is to get your colors right. Ideally, you may settle for one neutral color and one bold color. For instance, if your wall color is neutral or light, it is likely to look excellent with an art object of bold color.

In this regard, you should note that every room style will be different. You do not necessarily have to limit your color coordination to just two or three colors. You are free to play with multiple colors, provided they fit into your room and with your furnishing.

Spacing your modern abstract artworks should also be done intellectually. You can buy a painting in any size you desire. The empty space can be filled with more paintings so that your wall is actually a cluster of different but coherent hand-painted art paintings. Alternately, you may choose to buy a larger painting and put the entire focus over the single piece of art. Cramping should be avoided unless it works with you. Also, try to install special focus lights in order to throw light on the art piece.

If you are settling for multiple paintings or modern wall art sculptures, do not make a potpourri of multiple themes. For instance, a mixture of portrait, landscape and abstract painting is not usually preferable. It is ideal to hand a set of portraits or a set of landscape and seascapes or a set of abstract artworks.

Though, these are the universally applicable rules for decorative art paintings, you should never stick to any rule or mantra unless you can relate to it. Every individual is different and has an individualistic taste. You need to be true to yourself and rely on your instincts and your sense of judgment more than anything else.

Modern abstract art paintings offer you an array of art pieces and paintings to choose from. With time, you will learn to create magic out of them into your humble little space.
