Mata Ortiz
Juan with Laura Bugarini
In many respects, the revival pottery of Mata Ortiz owes its birth to Juan Quezada. As a young man Juan was trying to get by as a farmer, cowherd and supplier of firewood in the vicinity of the village of Mata Ortiz. Each of these activities brought him into the ruins of what were formerly outlying villages of the major pueblo of Paquime.
By the time Spanish explorers reached the region in the early 1500's, Paquime had been abandoned for a hundred years and was washing away more with each succeeding rainfall. However, the ruins impressed the Spanish as an example of a formerly wealthy New World community and perhaps spurred them on to find out where the gold went. These days, the ruins of Paquime are a designated United Nations World Heritage site. Much of the area has been excavated and a significant portion of the ruins have been stabilized so that erosion doesn't have quite the effect it used to. That said, in some areas there are still ancient potshards scattered all over the ground. To dig a few inches down is to expose many more.
There were also many unbroken pots unearthed in the area, pots showing a multitude of designs, shapes, forms and uses. Some of the designs and forms found have been traced back to the Mimbres Mogollon culture and to possible Hohokam influences. Some of the Mimbres designs are also still seen in use by Acoma, Laguna, Isleta and Zuni potters. Archaeologists have suggested that when the Mimbres Mogollan people abandoned southern New Mexico around 1250 AD, some went north to Acoma and Laguna while most went south to Paquime. The area of Paquime may have been wetter in those days but by about 1400, it was getting pretty dry.
Juan Quezada often found himself wandering through the Paquime/Mimbres ruins, stepping on potshards everywhere he went. Eventually he started picking them up and examining them. Then he stumbled across a cave that contained unbroken pots painted by the residents of Paquime hundreds of years ago. That led to him trying to figure out how the pots were first made, then where the colors came from and how the designs fit together. With no tools to work with outside of his own drive to discover and his own ingenuity, it took him several years to figure it out.
Juan's creations may have gone unnoticed except for the serendipitous discovery of a few of his pieces in a small shop in Deming, New Mexico by an Anglo trader named Spencer MacCallum. Spencer recognized quality when he saw it but it took him a while to follow the trail back to Juan. Once he'd met Juan, Spencer came up with a great marketing story and out of that marketing story grew the brilliance that is today's Mata Ortiz pottery. And as good a potter as Juan was, that marketing story was not a true story. It did serve to make Juan famous in the United States but in Mexico, he's almost unknown.
The meeting with Spencer MacCallum fueled Juan's rise and as his pieces brought more and more income, his siblings got more and more interested in making pottery. Before long, Juan had taught them all how to do it and over the years since, many other potters have learned, made it their own and built their own careers, making and selling pottery into the United States and global markets and bringing a level of prosperity to Mata Ortiz that the village had never known.
Juan is also the progenitor of the "Quezada style," a design style that incorporates whitespace into the overall design. In contradistinction to that is the "Porvenir style," originated by potters in the Porvenir neighborhood of Mata Ortiz. The Porvenir style essentially decorates every centimeter of a pot's surface, leaving little-to-no whitespace.
Today, Juan is retired and lives on a ranch atop one of the hills above Mata Ortiz. He doesn't make much pottery any more but he does work with younger folks, teaching them the basics and some of his more advanced techniques. A lot of folks in Mata Ortiz owe their prosperity to Juan's willingness to teach and pass on his knowledge and techniques. The Government of Mexico honored Juan by giving him the Premio Nacional de los Artes, the highest honor Mexico gives to its finest living artists.
Mata Ortiz and Casas Grandes
The macaw pens at Paquimé
Casas Grandes is both a municipality and an archaeological district in northern Chihuahua State, Mexico. The archaeological district includes the pre-historic ruins of Paquimé, a city that began to build around 1130 AD and was abandoned about 1450 AD. Archaeologists are uncertain as to whether Paquimé was settled by migrants from the Mogollon/Mimbres settlements to the north or by Anasazi elite from the Four Corners region in the United States or by others. Over the years Paquimé was built into a massive complex with structures up to six and seven stories high with multiple Great Houses in the surrounding countryside. Today, the site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Mata Ortiz is a small settlement inside the bounds of the Casas Grandes municipality very near the site of Paquimé. The fortunes of the town have gone up and down over the years with a real economic slump happening after the local railroad repair yard was relocated to Nuevo Casas Grandes in the early 1960's. The town was in steady decline until Juan Quezada, a poor farmer who gathered firewood in the area of the archaeological site, found fragments of ancient Paquimé pottery and even older fragments of Mimbres forms with bold black-on-white designs littering the ground. Those pot shards inspired him to recreate how that pottery had first been made.
Ramos Polychrome effigy from Paquimé
Quezada was successful in his quest to recreate the ancient process using slightly more modern techniques (although no one in the present tradition uses a potter's wheel). He learned to use sand and other coarse materials for temper. He discovered that dried cow dung made an excellent and inexpensive firing fuel. Instead of using gourds for smoothing he substituted broken hacksaw blades. Instead of using yucca fiber brushes for painting he learned to make brushes with human baby hair. He persevered in his efforts and by 1971 had produced a kind of polychrome pottery. Since then, most pottery-making in the area has used innovations in the design and decoration of the pots but the materials and the basic crafting of the process have remained the same.
By the mid-1970's, Quezada had attracted a significant number of traders and his work was becoming a commercial success. That is when he began teaching his techniques to his immediate family. They in turn taught other family members, friends and the younger generations. Both women and men were included from the beginning.
Contemporary Mata Ortiz pottery was mistakenly called Casas Grandes prehistoric pottery in the early years of its production. But the potters of this tiny village have made such an impact on the pottery communities, including many awards and special recognition from the Presidents of Mexico, that Mata Ortiz pottery is now becoming known around the world.
Today, pottery production has changed the village in many ways as there is now electricity, plumbing, vehicles and more for the residents. Virtually everyone in the small town (2010 population: 1,182) makes their living by working in some part of the pottery-making process, from potters to clay-gatherers to firewood collectors to traders.
Mata Ortiz pottery incorporates elements of contemporary and prehistoric design and decoration, and each potter or pottery family produces their own distinctive, individualized ware. Young potters from surrounding areas have been attracted to the Mata Ortiz revival and new potting families have developed while the art movement continues to expand. Without the restraints of traditional religious practices or gender constraints, a vibrant flow of new ideas has enabled the pottery of Mata Ortiz to avoid the derivative repetition common to virtually all folk art movements. This blend of economic need, gender equality, cultural expression and artistic freedom has produced a unique artistic movement in today's community.

Building the evidence base of the energy costs facing small and medium enterprises.
Increases in energy costs can adversely impact all businesses, large or small, undermining their long-term profitability and contribution to the Australian economy. Energy Consumers Australia commends the attention that has been brought to bear in the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's Retail Electricity Pricing Inquiry on the unacceptable pressures facing Australian businesses and consumers as a result of the price increases over the past ten years.
Through ongoing work on the SME retail tariff tracking project Energy Consumers Australia continues to build the evidence base of the costs facing small business, particularly those that are energy intensive and are unable to pass on those costs. As in other markets, for competition to be effective the transparency of information is an important tool so that consumers can participate with confidence.
The Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Retail Tariff Tracker is an ongoing project for Energy Consumers Australia. It collects data every April and October, with reports on trends published in June and December.
Key findings and all published reports can be accessed below.
Key Findings: December 2021
Electricity bills reduced across almost all jurisdictions in the National Electricity Market in October 2021. Victoria had the greatest decrease (12%), followed by Tasmania (11%), South Australia (7%), NSW (4%), and Queensland (3%). However, average bills for the ACT rose by 20% due to higher network charges, largely as a result of the costs associated with implementing legislation to supply 100% renewable energy.
Bills were slightly lower for most small businesses using gas compared with a year earlier, decreasing by 1%. The greatest decreases were in the ACT (5%),and Victoria (4%), with marginal reductions in South Australia and Western Australia. In contrast, gas bills in Queensland and New South Wales increased slightly, and remained unchanged in Tasmania.
Electricity bills were, on average, 2% lower in October 2021for small businesses across Australia compared with a year earlier.

Why Invest in GREEN ENERGY?
Irresistible Economics
Wind and solar energy have a short-run marginal cost of zero i.e., energy is essentially generated free of cost when the sun shines and wind blows. The cost incurred is basically, in the technology that is required to be installed to capture the sun light and wind.
Accelerated Technological Growth
Advancements in technology is the wind and solar energy sector are taking place at a rapid pace, making these sectors increasingly cost-effective, efficient and reliable.
According to an article published by the MIT technology review, there are more than 10 million people involved in renewable en-ergy production around the world. More investments imply that this sector will create more jobs globally.
Future Impact
Renewable sources of energy have a wider and positive impact on climate change, environmental protection and energy access. The ever-growing energy demand has already put a strain on fossil fuel reserves, causing it to deplete more rapidly and therefore the only alternative seems to be the sources of renewable energy.
Let us help you grow.

Note to Los Angeles NFL teams. You don't win, no one will care.
It was last September when my girlfriend and I set up a giant Rams party for their opening Monday night game. There was meatball sliders, booze, and insane brownies. Twenty five of my buddies showed up ready to root on our new Rams. Football is back in Los Angeles. Lets Go.
And then the game started. Five minutes in, the awful 49ers (who only won 2 games, both against The Rams) scored an easy touchdown, and the air was lifted from the room. And when the score was 14-0 by the second quarter, no one seemed to care.
And that essentially was a microcosm of the whole LA area for the Rams. There was excitement and buzz for a moment. But if you have a lousy product, there are lovely beaches to go on Sundays. Now there are two teams in Los Angeles. The only buzz about the Los Angeles Chargers was their awful new logo, which blew them up on twitter for the wrong reasons.
Truth about Los Angeles, is fans are very loyal to their Lakers, Dodgers, and USC football. If you aren't one of those teams, you better win and win big to attract interest. Ask the LA Kings. And that is the scary scenario for the 2017 NFL season. The Rams and Chargers, don't look very good. And for the Rams, they look quite awful. If Jared Goff doesn't evolve into a franchise quarterback, then it will set the Rams back for years. It will be another high pick that general manager Les Snead has made that has been a complete bust.
The Los Angeles Chargers have potential to be much better. Joey Bosa looks like the real deal, and they still have Phillip Rivers who is a great gunslinger. But there is such backlash and pain from their fans in San Diego, that it seems like they will be playing with a lot of distractions.
The Chargers, will have to overcome a lot. And going 8-8 will not win any fans over. Their existence in Los Angeles could be a complete disaster. Especially until they move into their new stadium which will be shared by the Rams.
So why are there two NFL teams in LA when there is doubt they can even support one?This is all about the NFL wanting to set up shop in LA and have the new stadium host the Superbowl every few years. Its also about getting lots of tourists from road team fans to spend a lot of money when coming here. Its very sad when there is a feeling that both the Rams and Chargers aren't first priority. But that is how commissioner Roger Goodell conducts business. That said, I will be throwing a Rams party week one. Hopefully people won't lose interest until at least the second half.

21 Day Purification – Day 21!
I made it through the cleanse!!! Yay!!!
It kinda feels really great!
If you are just popping in and haven't been reading along for the last month, you can click here to read about this cleanse I decided to do! It was a fun little journey, though hard at times, but so worth it!
Snacks: cantaloupe, honeydew, grapes, banana, green beans, 2nd shake: same as this morning.
How I Am Feeling: really, really good. I have also noticed that my nails are stronger, my skin has cleared up and my hair is a bit shinier and healthier feeling lately.
I am going to do another post tomorrow about some of the other ways I was detoxing my body during the cleanse (mainly personal hygiene products I used) along with a summary of the 21 days. So I hope you will stop by and read tomorrow's post!
Well, this weekend was interesting. I had the Ithaca Festival, which went well, except a little car accident that happened with my car…. No one was hurt and the car will be ok, after the repairs, thank goodness. So that ended up interrupting my booth time, as I was on the phone for a really long time with insurance and all. Sigh.
But anyway, here are days 12-14 of my cleanse. I still have not had meat yet, it was just too crazy this weekend to try and add in a new food.
Breakfast: smoothie with sp powder, spinach, strawberries, peaches, pineapple, mango.
Lunch: spring mix salad, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, wild rice, avocado.
How I Am Feeling: good, a little crazy with the festival.
Breakfast: smoothie with sp powder, spinach, cherries, blueberries.
Lunch: spring mix salad, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes.
Snacks: apples, strawberries, cherry tomatos, raspberries, mango, kiwi, 2nd shake: same as this morning.
How I Am Feeling: another day of festivals – car accident – bummer.
Other Purification Techniques I Am Doing: forgot to bring my stress away with me to the festival.
Snacks: apples, strawberries, raspberries, cucumbers, 2nd shake : same as morning.
How I Am Feeling: good but tired, last day of the festival.
Ok, caught up on the weekend. Stay tuned as this is the last week of the cleanse!

Q: Java Spring RestTemplate get 1 object from api I keep running into an issue and I can't seem to find the solution anywhere.
I have an api that responds with an object EmployeeAuthenticatedResponse. This is a single object that has the user's info like his name and roles inside of it. There can only be 1 response and so it will always send 1.
This is the code in the controller of the rest api:
@GetMapping("/authenticate")
public EmployeeAuthenticatedResponse getAuthenticated(@RequestHeader(value = "email") String requestMail, @RequestHeader(value = "password") String requestPassword){
    return employeeService.signin(requestMail, requestPassword);
}

This is what I use to try and retrieve it:
public class LoginController {
    @FXML
    private Label errorText;
    @FXML
    private TextField email;
    @FXML
    private PasswordField password;

    @FXML
    protected void login(ActionEvent event) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException {
        if(email != null && email.getText() != "" && password != null && password.getText() != ""){

            //Hash password before sending it out(This is just extra for during the connection, the server hashed it again with Bcrypt)
            MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
            byte[] digest = md.digest(password.getText().getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
            String passwordHash = String.format("%064x", new BigInteger(1,digest));

            //Initiate Spring stuff
            RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
            HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();

            //maak headers
            headers.setAccept(Arrays.asList(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON));
            headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
            headers.add("user-agent", "My app");
            headers.add("email", email.getText());
            headers.add("password", passwordHash);
            HttpEntity<?> entity = new HttpEntity<Object>("parameters", headers);

            //Send it away and retrieve
            ResponseEntity<EmployeeAuthenticatedResponse> loginResponse = restTemplate.exchange("http://localhost:8080/employee/authenticate", HttpMethod.GET, entity, EmployeeAuthenticatedResponse.class);

            //If else stuffs
            if(loginResponse.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.OK){
                errorText.setText("it works");
            } else if(loginResponse.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.FORBIDDEN) {
                errorText.setText("wrong password");
            } else if(loginResponse.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.REQUEST_TIMEOUT){
                errorText.setText("error");
            }
        }
    }

}

Now when I try to use this I get some warnings and an error.
First "warning"
18:04:56.170 [JavaFX Application Thread] WARN org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter - Failed to evaluate Jackson deserialization for type [[simple type, class link.to.class.DTO.EmployeeAuthenticatedResponse]]
java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make public link.to.class.EmployeeAuthenticatedResponse() accessible: module link.to.class does not "exports link.to.class.DTO" to unnamed module @13f33d2d

It then gives some extra info:
18:04:56.171 [JavaFX Application Thread] DEBUG org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate - Accept=[]
18:04:56.173 [JavaFX Application Thread] DEBUG org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate - Writing [parameters] as "application/json"
18:04:56.683 [JavaFX Application Thread] DEBUG org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate - Response 200 OK

And then it gives the same failed to evaluate Jackson Deserialization for type warning twice, then I get a Could not extract response: no suitable HttpMessageConverter found for response type error/exception, which is where it ends.
I have looked up a lot around Stack overflow and other sites, when I add [] behind EmployeeAuthenticatedResponse like:
ResponseEntity<EmployeeAuthenticatedResponse[]> loginResponse = restTemplate.exchange("http://localhost:8080/employee/authenticate", HttpMethod.GET, entity, EmployeeAuthenticatedResponse[].class);

I go straight to the exception without the warnings. This makes me think that the issue is that I need to have a list as a response and not a single object when using RestTemplate like this, but then how do I get a single entity? Everything I can find online is about consuming lists.
EmployeeAuthenticatedResponse class:
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties;

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class EmployeeAuthenticatedResponse {
    private int employeeId;
    private String employeeFirstName;
    private String employeeLastName;
    private int employeeDarkMode;
    private int employeeRoleId;
    private String employeeRoleName;
    private int employeePermissionSales;
    private int employeePermissionSending;
    private int employeePermissionManager;
    private int employeePermissionProductManagement;
    private String JWTToken;

//Getters and setters

}

The Json:
{
    "employeeId": 1,
    "employeeFirstName": "TestFname",
    "employeeLastName": "TestLname",
    "employeeDarkMode": 1,
    "employeeRoleId": 1,
    "employeeRoleName": "owner",
    "employeePermissionSales": 1,
    "employeePermissionSending": 1,
    "employeePermissionManager": 1,
    "employeePermissionProductManagement": 1,
    "jwttoken": "JWTTOKEN"
}

    exports link.to.class;
    exports link.to.class.controllers;
    opens link.to.class.controllers to javafx.fxml;
}

A: Since you are using Java 16, you have to export your DTO package inside your module setup in order for the jackson object mapper inside the rest template to have access to your DTO class and its fields for reflection
Module-info.java:
module com.windsoftware.kassa.windkassadesktop {
    requires javafx.controls;
    requires javafx.fxml;
    requires javafx.web;

    requires org.controlsfx.controls;
    requires com.dlsc.formsfx;
    requires validatorfx;
    requires org.kordamp.ikonli.javafx;
    requires org.kordamp.bootstrapfx.core;
    requires eu.hansolo.tilesfx;
    requires spring.boot;
    requires spring.web;
    requires com.fasterxml.jackson.databind;
    requires com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation;
    requires spring.boot.autoconfigure;

    opens link.to.class to javafx.fxml;
    exports link.to.class;
    exports link.to.class.controllers;
    exports link.to.class.DTO;
    opens link.to.class.controllers to javafx.fxml;
}

A: The issue might  with  the object deSerialization EmployeeAuthenticatedResponse
ResponseEntity<String> loginResponse = restTemplate.exchange(URL, HttpMethod.GET, request, String.class);

or
String loginResponse = restTemplate.exchange(URL, HttpMethod.GET, request, String.class).getBody();

use this and log the loginResponse then you will get the idea about the object issue

China bans online games for young players throughout the week, except
China bans online games for young players under the age of 18
At the beginning of this month, we reported to you about the decline in the value of Tencent's stock after the Chinese media compared games to drug addiction, which resulted in the company imposing more stringent restrictions on young players, and the past few weeks witnessed an evolution of the situation in China, which caused the imposition of laws A new ban bans minors from playing video games for more than three hours a week.
Reports in the Chinese media indicate that minors are banned from playing video games for more than three hours a week, while young people are completely banned from Monday to Thursday, and this decision applies to all video games, but it primarily targets online games and services Online games related.
The regulator that oversees the video game market in China explained in an official statement:
Transfer your WhatsApp chats from Android to iPhone without…
Study: Are smart watches more dangerous to drivers than…
NetGuard Pro – no-root firewall 2.298 Apk + Mod (Full) for…
Game companies will be prohibited from providing services to minors in any way outside the stipulated hours and should ensure that they have put in place systems to verify the real names of players.
Previously, China had limited the amount of time under-18s can play video games to 1.5 hours on any day and three hours on holidays under a 2019 law, and people under 18 are said to be allowed Playing video games only from 8pm to 9pm on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
Young people are reportedly banned from playing games at any time from Monday to Thursday every week under the new laws that apply to all devices, including smartphones, and the reason is to "protect the physical and mental health of minors".
It seems that the new laws are related to recent reports that the Chinese giant Tencent is about to acquire another Japanese studio in the framework of the expansion of Chinese companies in the market of platform and PC games.

WARNING!!!!!
The article below contains an image of an aborted foetus (fetus). Viewer's discretion is advised!
Abortion in Islam is a crime after the first 120 days - in Islam!
The sections of this article are:
1- Abortion in the Noble Quran.
2- Allah Almighty "breathes" from His Spirit into the foetus.
- The Hadiths claim that after the first 120 days of the Foetus formation, Allah Almighty blows from His Spirit into it.
- Scientific Discoveries that confirm the Hadith.
3- Warning from doing abortion to all women in the Noble Quran.
4- Conclusion.
1- Abortion in the Noble Quran:
Let us look at what Allah Almighty said in the Noble Quran:
"Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great sin. (The Noble Quran, 17:31)"
"Say: "Come, I will rehearse what God hath (really) prohibited you from": Join not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents; kill not your children on a plea of want;- We provide sustenance for you and for them;- come not nigh to shameful deeds. Whether open or secret; take not life, which God hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom. (The Noble Quran, 6:151)"
"O Prophet! When believing women come to thee to take the oath of fealty to thee, that they will not associate in worship any other thing whatever with God, that they will not steal, that they will not commit adultery (or fornication), that they will not kill their children, that they will not utter slander, intentionally forging falsehood, and that they will not disobey thee in any just matter,- then do thou receive their fealty, and pray to God for the forgiveness (of their sins): for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (The Noble Quran, 60:12)"
Before these Noble Verses were revealed, the pagan Arabs (before Islam) used to literally bury their daughters at the age of 4 or less alive in the desert, because (1) Daughters' birth brought shame to the family, and the mother had "defied" the husband's demand to bear him a son; or (2) The family was so poor, the parents would fear that someday they would have to sell their children as slaves to others.
While abortion clinics did not exist 1500 years ago, but people as it is apparent today, were able to cause a woman to miscarry her child by either striking her in the tummy, causing her to have lots of fear, or mess with the vagina until the child is pulled out.
While the Noble Verses above are talking about all children in general, and Noble Verse 17:31 says that it is a great sin, we have to further investigate what the word "children" here includes. Does it include only the newly born children, or does it also include the foetus?
To answer this, let us take a look at embryology in the Noble Quran:
"He created you (all) from a single person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. such is God, your Lord and Cherisher: to Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)? (The Noble Quran, 39:6)"
"Man We did create from a quintessence (of clay); (The Noble Quran, 23:12)"
"Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed; (The Noble Quran, 23:13)"
"Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. So blessed be God, the best to create! (The Noble Quran, 23:14)"
"Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)? (The Noble Quran, 75:37)"
"Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (God) make and fashion (him) in due proportion. (The Noble Quran, 75:38)"
"And of him He made two sexes, male and female. (The Noble Quran, 75:39)"
"Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias; (The Noble Quran, 82:7)"
"In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together. (The Noble Quran, 82:8)"
"O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much), and (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs). (The Noble Quran, 22:5)"
"Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him: So We gave him (the gifts), of Hearing and Sight. (The Noble Quran, 76:2)"
Notice in all of the above Noble Verses, Allah Almighty talks about how He Himself takes control of our creation from the time of intercourse till the time of birth. Notice how He takes full control and responsibility over everything! If a child is born deformed, then it is becasue He, the Almighty, Willed it while the child was still a foetus. If the child is born as a male or female, then it is because Allah Almighty Willed it. Therefore, since Allah Almighty clearly considered it as a "great sin" for killing our "children" in Noble Verse 17:31 and He clearly took the full ownership and responsibility of our creation from A to Z, then for those who fear Allah Almighty and believe that His Punishment and Wrath are real, then they shouldn't resort to committing the sinful crime of abortion.

Embryology in the Noble Quran.
2- Allah Almighty "breathes" from His Spirit into the foetus:
"But He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him something of His spirit. And He gave you (the faculties of) hearing and sight and feeling (and understanding): little thanks do ye give! (The Noble Quran, 32:9)"
"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My Spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him. (The Noble Quran, 15:29)"
When a foetus is created/formed right after the intercourse, and begins to get fashioned by showing signs of a beginning of a human body, Allah Almighty breathes from His Spirit into it. This means that our spirits/souls/selves (call it as you wish) are not initially created from the time we're born (come out of our mothers), but rather from the time we were initially formed in our mothers' wombs (in short time after the intercourse). This clearly means that the foetus has the same human value in the Sight of Allah Almighty as any born child, because His Spirit was already breathed into the foetus.
Has Allah Almighty not valued the foetus as a human, He would not have breathed His Spirit into it. He could've simply breathed It right after the child is born, or as he/she is coming right out of their mothers.
The Hadiths claim that after the first 120 days of the Foetus formation, Allah Almighty blows from His Spirit into it:
Narrated Abdullah: Allah's Apostle, the true and truly inspired said, "(as regards your creation), every one of you is collected in the womb of his mother for the first forty days, and then he becomes a clot for an other forty days, and then a piece of flesh for an other forty days. Then Allah sends an angel to write four words: He writes his deeds, time of his death, means of his livelihood, and whether he will be wretched or blessed (in religion). Then the soul is breathed into his body. So a man may do deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire, so much so that there is only the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been written (by the angel) surpasses, and so he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise and enters Paradise. Similarly, a person may do deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise, so much so that there is only the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been written (by the angel) surpasses, and he starts doing deeds of the people of the (Hell) Fire and enters the (Hell) Fire." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 549)"
Narrated 'Abdullah: "Allah's Apostle, the truthful and truly-inspired, said, "Each one of you collected in the womb of his mother for forty days, and then turns into a clot for an equal period (of forty days) and turns into a piece of flesh for a similar period (of forty days) and then Allah sends an angel and orders him to write four things, i.e., his provision, his age, and whether he will be of the wretched or the blessed (in the Hereafter). THEN the soul is breathed into him. And by Allah, a person among you (or a man) may do deeds of the people of the Fire till there is only a cubit or an arm-breadth distance between him and the Fire, but then that writing (which Allah has ordered the angel to write) precedes, and he does the deeds of the people of Paradise and enters it; and a man may do the deeds of the people of Paradise till there is only a cubit or two between him and Paradise, and then that writing precedes and he does the deeds of the people of the Fire and enters it." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 77, Number 593)"
Whether the foetus is considered a living-human before or after GOD Almighty Breathes from His Spirit into it is controversial belief as further shown in the PRO and ANTI abortion links that I provided below. But one thing is certain, that after the 120 days (4 months), there is no dispute among most Muslims and the scholars that abortion is forbidden in Islam!
Scientific Discoveries that confirm the Hadith:
Please visit: The fetus is determined to be alive after 120 days, as the Prophet of Islam Said.
3- Warning from doing abortion to all women in the Noble Quran:
It was part of the Arab men's customs to bury their daughters at the age of 4. The women used to not take part of this evil act. It is hard to imagine that a mother would willfully bury her daughter alive in the desert at the age of 4. Therefore, Noble Verse 60:12 seems to clearly and directly prohibit the women who embrace Islam from doing abortion (willfully causing miscarriage to themselves). This perfectly fits Allah Almighty's Command, "that they will not kill their children". And as specified in the Hadiths, and seems to be further confirmed by Science, abortion is absolutely prohibited after the first 120 days of pregnancy.
Also, notice that this Command came right after the prohibition of committing adultery and fornication. The word "zina" in Arabic means both fornication and adultery. There are no two separate words for zina as there is in English (fornication and adultery). Zina includes both. Notice how Allah Almighty perfectly warned women who get pregnant accidentally to not commit the sin of abortion.
And as always, Allah Almighty Knows Best.
4- Conclusion:
Abortion is a crime and a murder if done after the first 120 days of pregnancy. As we saw above, a foetus is a human, because it has Allah Almighty's Spirit in it. Allah Almighty had promised a Great punishment for murderers, including those who commit murders against unborn children. This is Islam, and these are the Laws of Allah Almighty. For those "pro-choice" Westerners and their followers from the some modern "liberal" Muslims, I tell them this: This is Islam, and it is not the Religion that gets compromised by its True followers.
For Muslim fathers: The fear of paying child support or not having the chance to see your unborn child because your X might move out of State are not valid reasons to commit the murder.
For Muslim mothers: Your body is not yours. It is Allah Almighty's. You were created here on earth for a purpose and to be ultimately tried, as every human being created by Allah Almighty will be tried:
"Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. to Us must ye return. (The Noble Quran, 21:35)"
"O ye who believe! God doth but make a trial of you in a little matter of game well within reach of game well within reach of your hands and your lances, that He may test who feareth him unseen: any who transgress thereafter, will have a grievous penalty. (The Noble Quran, 5:94)"
"Your riches and your children may be but a trial: but in the Presence of God, is the highest, Reward. (The Noble Quran, 64:15)"
Believing in this "pro-choice" nonsense about "your body is yours" will only lead you to the Ultimate Destruction of Hell.
May Allah Almighty bless all of those who strive on staying in Allah Almighty's Right Path, and may He, the Almighty, continue to Guide us all to Islam. Ameen.

by Jonathan Miles | Apr 25, 2013 | Abortion, Culture and Society, Infanticide | 2 comments
If you have been watching the news over the last couple of weeks, you might not know that a very controversial trial is taking place in Philadelphia. Kermit Gosnell is accused of murder. Allegedly he murdered one of his patients in the process of doing a late term abortion under abominable sanitary conditions at his abortion clinic. She died from a drug overdose. He was charged with infanticide since he allegedly delivered late term babies and then snipped their spinal cords with scissors. As I was writing this post, it was reported that the charges of infanticide were dropped because the prosecution could not prove the babies were born alive. Gosnell's abortion clinic has been called a house of horrors by anti-abortion advocates. I'm sorry I can't give you more details about the conditions or Gosnell because there seems to be a sort of collective ignoring of the case by the media. As one blogger pointed out, there seems to be an asymmetry of the coverage of outrage between those who were so exorcised that the Susan G. Komen foundation withdrew support from some clinics who also did abortions and the near non-outrage regarding Gosnell's almost macabre nonchalance at infanticide (apparently he kept the severed feet of some of the fetus' in a jar).
The claims about media bias are as ubiquitous as celebrity wardrobe malfunctions, so I won't really go into that. What is interesting is the discrepancy on why people think Gosnell is a bad, bad man. Pro-abortion advocates see Gosnell as a cautionary tale about ensuring women have access to safe and sanitary abortions. Anti-abortionists see it as a cautionary tale about how apathy can lead to evil.
On the pro-abortion side I present Irin Camaron:
". . . the media coverage obsession is a red herring. By all means, let's talk about Kermit Gosnell — who is accused of acts that are already illegal — but in a fact-based fashion. As Philadelphia Weekly reporter Tara Murtha put it, this was about a "multi-level, panoramic, institutional negligence, a culture of passing the buck and flagrant disregard for patient's welfare, [which] prevented any meaningful investigation." This is not about how Gosnell performed "late term abortions" (a highly imprecise term) as much as it is about the fact that the women who went to him felt they had nowhere else to go, an issue I have yet to see all the right-wing grandstanders fully address."
Nothing about what Gosnell jokingly called "snipping." Nothing about the fetus at all. To Camaron, that is simply not the story. Her narrative shapes this as being about women's healthcare. However, it turns out that a lot of Gosnell's patients weren't simply poor women who had no where else to go and who no doubt would have gone to a reputable abortion doctor if they had federal funding. James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal, reports that according to Grand Jury testimony:
His patients came from several states, including Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina, as well as from Pennsylvania cities outside the Philadelphia area, such as Allentown. He also had many late-term Philadelphia patients because most other local clinics would not perform procedures past 20 weeks." The woman Gosnell is accused of murdering with a drug overdose, 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, came from Virginia and was referred by a clinic either there or in the District of Columbia.
So the idea that this is a cautionary tale about poor women seems well, just wrong. More likely, as the Grand Jury testimony indicates, Gosnell was known as a doctor who would do what other doctors didn't have the guts to do. Perform live births and then kill babies who would have easily survived. But why should that surprise us. After all, what's a few weeks when it comes to women's health? What's important is that women have control over their bodies right? They shouldn't be saddled with an unwanted pregnancy. I hear some of you saying, "Typical man. You don't know what its like to be pregnant. You must simply shut up and stop telling women what they should or should not do with their body." This is of course a logical fallacy. It is a red herring that Camaron evoked in her bait and switch. I agree that women's health is important. I also agree with anti-abortionist David Gushee that anti-abortion proponents should talk about the plight of poor women and care about the difficulties they face with more passion in the midst of a making a case that abortion doesn't have to be the last resort of the poor. But the fact that I'm a man, doesn't make my argument invalid.
The fact of the matter is that if we make the morality of terminating a pregnancy a matter of geography (see "Human Rights? Only for Some Humans?" )
then its not that hard for us to imagine women and gynecologists quietly admiring what Gosnell did. Consider the bold statements of Mary Elizabeth Williams who declares: "So What if Abortion Ends a Life?"
Here's the complicated reality in which we live: All life is not equal. That's a difficult thing for liberals like me to talk about, lest we wind up looking like death-panel-loving, kill-your-grandma-and-your-precious-baby storm troopers. Yet a fetus can be a human life without having the same rights as the woman in whose body it resides. She's the boss. Her life and what is right for her circumstances and her health should automatically trump the rights of the non-autonomous entity inside of her. Always….
When we try to act like a pregnancy doesn't involve human life, we wind up drawing stupid semantic lines in the sand: first trimester abortion vs. second trimester vs. late term, dancing around the issue trying to decide if there's a single magic moment when a fetus becomes a person. Are you human only when you're born? Only when you're viable outside of the womb? Are you less of a human life when you look like a tadpole than when you can suck on your thumb?…
…saves lives not just in the most medically literal way, but in the roads that women who have choice then get to go down, in the possibilities for them and for their families. And I would put the life of a mother over the life of a fetus every single time — even if I still need to acknowledge my conviction that the fetus is indeed a life. A life worth sacrificing.
Well, at least she's honest. The life of the mother trumps the life of an non-autonomous entity every single time. Who cares if that mother waited till a bit past some arbitrary deadline a bunch of men in some legislature decided–"This is late term lady. This fetus is okay to abort lady." Gosnell knows the truth. Snip it. Snip it in the bud. Just keep it quiet, you brave man."
Here's the thing, if Williams is right, then there is no magic that gives someone moral status. And she's okay with that. And apparently so was Gosnell. But there are a lot of people that see her comments as a kind of everyday evil. Its the kind of evil James Waller says is what you see when ordinary people commit genocide. The life of a Jew isn't as important as the life of German. The life of a Croatian isn't as valuable as a Serb. What magic is it that says the life of one is more than another? Autonomy? Why autonomy? Why not, hair color? In the absence of any foundational principles, its easy to rationalize this. I started this post with the intent to rip into Williams. But actually I find myself weeping. Its sad when a soul gets cauterized and adopts ideas with such dire consequences without the need to justify them from any deeper ethical principles.
Howard on April 26, 2013 at 5:06 pm
Jonathan, let me tell you what's making me weep. Your taste buds have obviously been left behind. Your palate is still that of a child's and your culinary skills have been snipped! In this day and age, people eat cow brains, pig ears, pigs feet, many different tongues, chicken feet, kidneys, livers, ox tails, intestines and many other body parts. So to find someone marinating some feet in a jar is not out of the mainstream. It seems obvious to me that he was looking forward to a nice dinner. Probably with some fava beans and a nice chianti. Your problem is that you have not yet joined the, "Abortion, Super Highway To Heaven" movement. This movement guarantees your child will be saved. How can you beat that? Please reply in kind and I will send you some enrollment papers. Get a friend to join and I will throw in a Captain Crunch decoder ring. May god have mercy on us all.
Howard on April 27, 2013 at 6:19 am
Wow! I am enjoying your e-letter more and more each passing week. Your content is pertinent and diverse. You and your writers are extremely talented, rational, and well versed in biblical knowledge. There is only one other publication that I read as thorough as this one. Bumping into Don and learning about MCOI has really added a new dimension to my weekly routine as well as my vocabulary. I believe being a part of this ministry has upgraded and expanded my knowledge base and my life. I am not big on preachers who bob and weave. When Christian principle takes a head shot, these guys stand and deliver. These guys "stink of Christianity". "Jesus freaks, plain and simple". I am proud to support this ministry!!

Differential Induction of Tumour Antigens by Transformation-defective Virus Mutants
R. Kurth
https://doi.org/10.1099/0022-1317-28-2-167
Normal rat kidney cells infected by a variety of transformation-defective temperature-sensitive avian leukosis sarcoma virus mutants were tested for the expression of transformation characteristics at permissive and restrictive temperature. Morphology, growth behaviour and agglutinability by concanavalin A corresponded fully to the phenotype of the infected cells: at permissive temperature the cells resembled wild type virus transformed cells, whereas when grown under restrictive conditions they became virtually indistinguishable from normal cells.
The quantitative expression of allo- or xenogeneic cell surface antigens was not significantly affected by the phenotype of the cells. Two out of the five tested mutants induced tumour antigens in the expected temperature-dependent manner, whereas the other three mutants were able to induce tumour-specific cell surface antigens even in the revertant cells cultured at the restrictive temperature.
These findings extend previous results about tumour antigen induction in mutant-infected cells of the natural host, the chicken embryo fibroblasts. The value of transformation-defective tumour antigen-positive mutants for vaccination purposes will be discussed.
Clonal Variation of the Mouse Cells in the Endogenous C-type Virus Induction by 5-iodo-2′-deoxyuridine
H. Yoshikura
Using an MLg cell line originating from a single newborn ddY mouse, N-tropic C-type virus able to infect the cells of origin was induced by 5-iodo-2′-deoxyuridine (IUdR). All the clones isolated from the MLg cell line released the virus after IUdR-treatment. There was more than a 100-fold difference in the virus inducibility between the highly and lowly inducible clones. The [125I]-IUdR incorporation was, however, the same for the both types of clones.
When the induced virus was titrated in the S + L - C182 cells, the XC plaque titre was about tenfold higher than murine sarcoma virus rescue focus titre.
Inhibition of Multiplication of Tobacco Mosaic Virus in Protoplasts by Antibiotics and its Prevention by Divalent Metals
B. Kassanis, R. F. White and R. D. Woods
At concentrations that inhibit bacterial growth, some antibiotics including gentamicin completely inhibited virus multiplication in protoplasts, and other antibiotics partially inhibited virus multiplication. The inhibition caused by each antibiotic was largely prevented by adding a divalent metal; MnCl2 was more effective than CaCl2 and other salts of divalent metals when added at 10 mm to the incubation medium. When added immediately after infection, 1 µg/ml of gentamicin halved the final virus concentration and 3 µg/ml completely inhibited virus multiplication, although 10 µg/ml was required to stop bacterial growth. Gentamicin inhibited virus multiplication even when added 24 h after virus inoculation. Also, when protoplasts were exposed to gentamicin for only 1 or 2 h, either immediately after inoculation or 2 h later, the virus concentration was considerably decreased.
Gentamicin seemed not to affect virus multiplication in whole plants. Sap from Dianthus barbatus also strongly inhibited virus multiplication in protoplasts but, unlike gentamicin, it acted in the presence of MnCl2. By contrast, chelating agents such as 1 mm-EDTA or 5 mm-potassium citrate were strong inhibitors of virus multiplication that were inactive in the presence of MnCl2. It is suggested that gentamicin and other antibiotics may chelate metals from the protoplast membranes, thus disorganizing their function and affecting virus multiplication.
Derivation of Mouse Sarcoma Virus (Kirsten) by Acquisition of Genes from Heterologous Host
P. Roy-Burman and V. Klement
The technique of virus RNA-cellular DNA hybridization in solution with DNA excess was used to compare the nucleotide sequences of the 70S RNA genome of the Kirsten mouse sarcoma virus (Ki-MSV) with that of mouse erythroblastosis virus (MEV) which gave rise to Ki-MSV after in vivo propagation in rat. It is suggested that a loss of about 30% of the genomic sequences of MEV with a concomitant gain of roughly equal amounts of rat-specific sequences in a genetically stable recombinant state led to the formation of Ki-MSV.
A Latent Guinea Pig Herpes-like Virus: Isolation and Envelopment

A guinea pig herpes-like virus (GPHLV) has been isolated from randomly selected guinea pigs. This virus is serologically related, if not identical, to the guinea pig herpes-like virus isolated by Hsiung-Kaplow. The frequency of latent infection in guinea pigs was found to be highly variable among animals of the same commercial origin. Ultrastructural studies have shown that the morphological development of this virus was similar to that reported for other herpes viruses in the early stages, but frequently differed at the envelopment stage. In the cytoplasm, virus particles were associated with electron-dense zones from which they acquired a thick and rough envelope.
Sensitivity of the Epstein-Barr Virus Transformed Human Lymphoid Cell Lines to Interferon
Alice Adams, H. Strander and K. Cantell
The effect of interferon on expression of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) early gene functions was investigated. The 'early antigen' synthesis which follows either EBV superinfection of established lymphoid cell lines or 5′-iododeoxyuridine activation of the intrinsic EBV genomes harboured by these cells could be suppressed with interferon. In contrast, the spontaneous early antigen expression that occurs in a few per cent of the cells in the producer cell lines could not be blocked with interferon.
The lymphoid cell lines tested differed in their ability to acquire an antiviral state after exposure to interferon. Several cell lines were also growth inhibited by the interferon preparations. The antiviral and growth inhibitory activities of different interferon preparations could not be separated by a number of criteria.
Spontaneous Interferon Production and Epstein-Barr Virus Antigen Expression in Human Lymphoid Cell Lines
Alice Adams, Bodil Lidin, H. Strander and K. Cantell
Established human lymphoid cell lines, many of which spontaneously produce interferon, differ in the efficiency by which they allow expression of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lytic functions. Six EBV carrying lymphoid cell lines, selected to either be extremely susceptible or very refractory to EBV superinfection, were tested for spontaneous interferon production. Only the three cell lines which were poorly superinfectable with EBV were found to produce interferon. These same three lines could not be induced to express EBV-specific early antigens from intrinsic EBV genomes. It is suggested that interferon acts as a negative control factor affecting a cell's susceptibility to EBV.
Immunomodification and the Expression of Virulence in Mice by Defined Strains of Semliki Forest Virus: the Effects of Cyclophosphamide
C. J. Bradish, K. Allner and R. Fitzgeorge
Mice were infected i.c. or i.p. by an avirulent clone of Semliki Forest virus at various times before or after the i.p. administration of a single dose of cyclophosphamide. Consequent changes in the patterns of viraemia and antibody production are interpreted in terms of the potentiation of the initial infection or the decreased resistance to subsequent lethal challenge.
These changes demonstrate two distinct modes of immunomodification determined by the time of cyclophosphamide administration in relation to virus infection, but not correlated with the death or protection of individual mice.
These results are discussed in relation to the early regulatory functions of T and B cells which may influence the expression of virulence but escape conventional assay during the critical first 3 days following infection.
Immunomodification and the Expression of Virulence in Mice by Defined Strains of Semliki Forest Virus: the Effects of Myocrisin and l-Asparaginase
Studies in mice of the modes of immunomodification imposed by cyclophosphamide, have been extended to comparative studies with Myocrisin, l-asparaginase and interferon. It has been shown for mice infected i.p. or i.c. by an avirulent clone of SFV, that the potentiation of disease may be marked by many distinct changes in the type and rate of response.
For low i.p. doses of virus, enhancement (Myocrisin, l-asparaginase) or impairment (interferon) of the efficiency of infection may be associated with death (potentiation by Myocrisin) or protection (immunoenhancement by l-asparaginase).
For higher doses of virus the increased mortality after infection (primary potentiation) is determined within 2 or 3 days and appears to be due to inhibition of phagocytosis (Myocrisin and l-asparaginase) and of T cell functions (l-asparaginase and cyclophosphamide). The increased incidence of death after challenge (secondary potentiation) appears to be due to inhibition of B cell functions (cyclophosphamide) associated with suppression of antibody synthesis and persistence of viraemia.
These results are discussed in relation to the expression of virulence by a heterogeneous and replicating antigen. The critical cellular and humoral changes which occur within 2 or 3 days of infection are emphasized.
Hydrophobic Chromatography of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen on 1,9-Diaminononane or 1,10-Diaminodecane Linked to Agarose
A. R. Neurath, S. Lerman, M. Chen and A. M. Prince
A series of ω-aminoalkyl-agaroses differing in the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chains was prepared and used for chromatography of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). HBsAg was separated from the major part of serum proteins by adsorption to columns of 1,9-diaminononane or 1,10-diaminodecane linked to agarose beads (Sepharose 4B or 2B) followed by elution with 4 m-NaSCN.
Defined Conditions for Growth of Tobacco Plants as Sources of Protoplasts for Virus Infection
S. Kubo, B. D. Harrison and H. Barker
Tobacco plants grown for 12 h at 25 °C in light of 10800 lux alternating with 12 h at 20 °C in darkness were reliable sources of mesophyll protoplasts, which were very susceptible to infection with tobacco rattle virus. Increasing the photoperiod or the light intensity decreased susceptibility to infection, and increasing or decreasing the photoperiod increased the fragility of the protoplasts. Ease of infection with raspberry ringspot virus seemed to parallel that with tobacco rattle virus. The optimum defined environment gave protoplasts that were at least as suitable for infection experiments as the best from glasshouse grown plants.
Interferon Production in Tortoise Peritoneal Cells
A. S. Galabov and Emilia H. Velichkova
We have already discussed the presence and functioning of a interferon system in primary cultures of tortoise kidney cells and described some physico-chemical properties of the induced interferon elsewhere (Galabov, Savov & Vassileva, 1973; Galabov, Petrunova & Savov, 1973; Galabov & Savov, 1973). In order to more completely characterize the interferon producing system in such poikilothermic vertebrates, a study was carried out using tortoise (Testudo graeca) peritoneal cells.
Presence of Chicken Cell Surface Antigen on Rous Virus Activated in Heterokaryons of Transformed Non-permissive Hamster Cells and Chicken Cells
P. Vigier and M. Aupoix
Incubation with antiserum to chick embryo (CE) cells, in the presence of complement, inactivates Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) produced by heterokaryons formed by non-permissive RSV-transformed hamster cells and CE cells as well as RSV produced by CE cells. No inactivation of RSV produced by heterokaryons is observed following incubation with antiserum to the transformed hamster cells, plus complement. Hence, the envelope of RSV activated in heterokaryons, as that of RSV produced by CE cells, must contain a surface antigen of the CE cell, and the virus must mature only, or preferentially, at chicken-specific sites of the heterokaryon surface.

Q: Backbone model structure? I need to track a collection of messages to a user model, at first I figured this would be a great model structure.
var myModel = {
    _id: 798698,
    username: "John",
    message: {
        message1: "Some cool messsage",
        message2: "I'm mad Ohio State lost"
    }
}

Then I figure if I want to render all the messages from all the users in order from old to new, I could add a time stamp. That would mean I would need to extend the model.
var myModel = {
    _id: 798698,
    username: "John",
    message: {
        message1: {message: "Some cool messsage", sent: "3/22/2014 12:20"},
        message2: {message: "I'm mad Ohio State lost", sent: "3/22/2014 12:21"}
    }
}

To me this is a good structure but what do I know, I am new.
This brings up some issues with backbone, though. If I had a collection view for all the messages, the itemView for the single models would each be wrapped in an el. So I could loop the message object above using handle bars, but it would render like this.

        John: Some cool message

        John: I'm mad Ohio State lost

You see the above is wrapped, so that means if there was another users model.
var myModel2 = {
    _id: 798698,
    username: "Scottie",
    message: {
        message1: "Hey guys",
        message2: "I am the SEC player of the year."
    }
}

The view would not render a list of messages but blocks of models, like this.

        John: Some cool message

        John: I'm mad Ohio State lost

        Scottie: Hi Guys

        Scottie: I am the SEC player of the year.

I am trying to think of a structure where I can render a list, and order by time sent.
So for example if the convo went... John, Scottie, John, Scottie... I could render like this.

    John: Some cool message

    Scottie: Hi Guys

    John: I'm mad Ohio State lost

    Scottie: I am the SEC player of the year.

So should I create two collections and associate the messages model to the user model, or is there a way to build the model the way I was and get it to play with backbone nicely. I'm up for whichever is better and I would like a brief explanation why. That would be so great fellow developers!
Thanks!

Lips (Study #3), 2016, Single channel video installation, Mixed media, 57 x 76.2 x 91.4 inches
Mika Rottenberg, Andrea Rosen Gallery
Frieze New York Booth C29
Video installation artist Mika Rottenberg envisions the female body as a microcosm of larger societal issues such as labor and class inequities. In her short films, women cast for their notable physical features and talents perform perfunctory factory-line duties, manufacturing inane items worth less than the labor required to make them. Her homemade machinery and decor are functional but crudely constructed. These contraptions, operating by pedal, conveyor belt, paddle, rubber band, or string, are reminiscent of Peter Fischli and David Weiss's kinetic props, though the human interaction in her works adds a carnivalesque element to Rottenberg's environments, the physical comedy implicit in her narratives recalling Eleanor Antin's filmed performances. The bright colors of Rottenberg's self-contained sets don't disguise the close quarters in which her characters work or mitigate the sense of claustrophobia induced by a dead-end job. A blue-collar work ethic is conjured through the women's uniforms, ranging from diner-waitress dresses to jogging suits. Her cast often use several body parts at once, reminding the viewer of the feminine capacity for multitasking while it suggests an ironic futility in her sweatshop-like situations.

Lisa Yuskavage, Stoned, 2016. Oil and graphite on linen, 16 5/8 x 15 3/4 inches
Lisa Yuskavage, David Zwirner
Lisa Yuskavage's works are characterized by an ongoing engagement with the history of painting. Her oeuvre bears witness to a re-emergence of the figurative in contemporary painting and takes its point of departure in part in the immediacy and tawdriness of contemporary life spurred by the mass media and the psycho-social realm of the individual. Over the past two decades, she has developed her own genre of the female nude: lavish, erotic, cartoonish, vulgar, angelic young women cast within fantastical landscapes or dramatically lit interiors. They appear to occupy their own realm while narcissistically contemplating themselves and their bodies. Rich, atmospheric skies frequently augment the psychologically charged mood, further adding to the impression of theatricality and creative possibility.

Marola, 2015, Acrylic, hand-painted enamel on aluminum, stainless steel, polyester, 89 x 42 x 32 inches
Beatriz Milhazes, James Cohan Gallery
Frieze New York Booth B53
Beatriz Milhazes' is well known for her vibrantly colorful, kaleidoscopic collages, prints, paintings and installations which draw on both Latin American and European traditions. Milhazes' rigorously structured compositions are punctuated by a recurring set of arabesque motifs inspired by Brazilian culture, ceramics, lacework, carnival decoration, music, and Colonial baroque architecture. As Milhazes explains, "I am seeking geometrical structures, but with freedom of form and imagery taken from different worlds." The artist has also cited opera, classical and Brazilian popular music as having informed the upbeat energy of her stripes, lines, circular forms, and rays. The careful balance of harmony and dissonance in her work, combined with her Technicolor palette, are evident of the strong influence by such 20th century masters as Tarsila do Amaral, Oswald de Andrade, Matisse, Kandinksy and Delaunay. Milhazes has stated "I need to have all these elements and put them together. They are in some sort of a conflict that will never really end up anywhere. There are not peaceful surfaces. There should be some struggle on the surface and then create some activities for your eyes" (Interview with Beatriz Milhazes, RES Art World/World Art, No. 2 May 2008). As the Fondation Cartier further explains, Milhazes' "use of intensely vibrant colors, such as fuchsia, gold or orange, endows her canvases with an explosive energy that many have compared to the breathtaking rhythm of fireworks."
533 WEST 26 ST, NYC
Untitled, 2015, Guesso, oil, oistick, acrylic, permanent marker on canvas, 118 x 158 inches
Jannis Vareles, The Breeder Gallery
Jannis Varelas' work explores the contrast between appearance and reality and exposes the increasingly theatrical nature of our lives. Sometimes ironic and caustic, sometimes purposefully saccharine, his depiction of the human condition and the construction of dystopias, critically comments on the changing relation of the individual to society and sacrilegiously approaches revered structures such as history, sexuality, politics and religion.
45 Iasonos st, GR 10436, Athens
Fancy Problems, Installation view, Thomas Dane Gallery, London, 2015
Ella Kruglyanskaya, Thomas Dane Gallery
Ella Kruglyanskaya paints large-scale, cartoonish vignettes featuring exuberant, full-figured women and their fashion accessories. Characterized by splashy colors and patterns, her paintings depict women in revealing clothes, engaged in leisure activities or absurdist scenarios, such as Untitled (2010), in which a woman in high heels riding a small horse is attacked by a crocodile. "I'm interested in pictorial events that are not narrative but visual and sometimes aspire to an unspoken punch line," she has said. "The figure functions as the vessel and the space onto which the events of the painting occur." Kruglyanskaya has produced commissions for the windows of Barney's in New York, and her work has been compared to that of R. Crumb, Sonia Delaunay, and Lyubov Popova.
