Viktor Schreckengost, the father of industrial design and creator of the Jazz Bowl, an iconic piece of Jazz Age art designed for Eleanor Roosevelt during his association with Cowan Pottery died yesterday. He was 101.
Schreckengost was born on June 26, 1906 in Sebring, Ohio, United States.
Schreckengost’s peers included the far more famous designers Raymond Loewy and Norman Bel Geddes.
In 2000, the Cleveland Museum of Art curated the first ever retrospective of Schreckengost’s work. Stunning in scope, the exhibition included sculpture, pottery, dinnerware, drawings, and paintings.

Molding in Hawaii can be a very classy and elegant way to decorate a room in your home. A molding is an ornamental piece that you can use to cover the place where the wall meets the ceiling and other joined areas of the room. There are other areas in the home where the right molding can be quite beautiful as well. Typically, moldings are made of wood, in a complementary stain to match the other parts of the room, but they can sometimes be made of other materials as well, such as plaster. They can be painted too, all according to the look you want to achieve in your home.
It can be difficult to decide what type of molding that you want for a room. Some rooms may work better without them, but typically a molding in Hawaii will enhance any decor. There are many other types as well, as molding can be used to hide or cover any transition area. You can use them to cover the edges of a screen, for example, such as an air conditioner vent. Moldings for walls can go near the ceiling or floor, although having a molding for the ceiling and wall joint is more common. It all depends on what your room looks like and what type of image you want it to have.
Moldings can also be used in businesses. Customers might not specifically say anything about the moldings, but running a business is all about having the right atmosphere for your customers. They want to feel calm and reassured when they enter your business, so they know they have come to the right place and that they have come to a place that they actually want to do business with and give their money to.
The right company will have people on staff that can help you decide what kind of molding will work best for your personal style. Your home or business is already decorated. Perhaps you are wanting to update some of the rooms. Or perhaps you are looking to sell your home and want to increase its value and appeal to potential buyers. Whatever the reason, a visit to Asi-Hawaii.com will give you some ideas on moldings.

Anti-war demonstrators in Sydney, Australia on Thursday dubbed U.S. Secretary of State Dr Condoleezza Rice a “war criminal” and “murderer.” Two protesters were evicted and five people were arrested during protests against the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
Dr Rice, on a three-day trip to Australia, said she understood why people found it hard to be positive about Iraq when all they saw on their television screens was violence.
Soon after Rice began her speech at the University of Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music, two protesters shouted from the rear of the auditorium, “Condoleezza Rice, you are a war criminal,” and “Iraqi blood is on your hands and you cannot wash that blood away.” Standing with their palms towards her, the young man and woman repeated their accusation until security intervened to remove them from the hall.
About 15 minutes into Rice’s address, a third protester appeared at a balcony door, interrupting her speech as she referred to freedom. “What kind of freedom are you talking about? You are a murderer,” said the demonstrator before he was quietly escorted from the hall. “I’m very glad to see that democracy is well and alive here at the university,” she said.
In her speech, Rice sought to justify the U.S. occupation of Iraq, describing Iraqis as now more free. One student asked about abuses committed by U.S. forces at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. She said the abuses had made her “sick to her stomach.” However, she defended Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where human rights groups say detainees are held in inhumane conditions and in detention flouting international laws.
Before Rice began her speech, about 50 protesters were gathered at the front gates of the Conservatorium. The group were confronted by police on horseback and by police dogs. Police used the horses to charge into the group of activists and push them back, as a police helicopter hovered.
A police spokeswoman said the group was blocking pedestrian access to the building and that police had spent more than 20 minutes warning them to move. The police then moved in and pushed the crowd back 20 metres. Police say five people have been charged with “hindering police in the execution of their duties.”
The “Stop the War Coalition” says Rice is a “war criminal” and is not welcome in Australia. The group’s spokeswoman, Anna Samson, says the protest is one of many planned in the lead-up to the third anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq on March 20.
Paddy Gibson, from the University of Sydney’s Student’s Council, says the protest is in opposition to the Iraq war, and to the use of the University of Sydney’s campus to host Rice, “the most powerful woman in the world,” who they say is a war criminal. “They’re saying, ‘… you’ve got Sydney Uni’s support to stand up and peddle your murderous hate speeches,’ which is what we see it,” he said.
“You’ve got 180,000 people killed, as we said, for no other reason than strategic control of the region’s oil resources. And the anti-Muslim racism that’s been whipped up to justify this war is being felt by Sydney University students,” said Mr Gibson.

Following remarks by the rapper DaBaby regarding HIV/AIDS at a Miami, Florida festival, his remix of Dua Lipa’s song Levitating has lost a significant amount of radio audience in the United States of America. Yesterday, Billboard reported that, out of all the radio plays for Levitating, DaBaby’s remix now only makes up 49.5% of the radio plays for the song, a 20.7% decrease from last week.
At a performance at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami, DaBaby told an audience, “If you didn’t show up today with HIV/AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cell phone light in the air”, and went on to say, “Fellas, if you ain’t suck a nigga dick in the parking lot, put your cell phone lights in the air.” Lipa responded on her Instagram story by writing that she was “surprised and horrified” by DaBaby’s words, adding that “we need to come together to fight the stigma and ignorance around HIV/AIDS”.
Audacy, which is the second-largest radio group in the USA, told Billboard that they had removed the remix of Levitating from their stations “in light of DaBaby’s homophobic statements”. Jeremy Rice, who is the programming and branding director of Long Island-based WBLI in New York, has said that his station shifted to the version of Levitating that solely features Lipa, saying that WBLI management “just think it’s the right thing to do” given what he called DaBaby’s “plain wrong and hurtful” comments.
Fellow rapper T.I. defended DaBaby, arguing that “If you have a Lil Nas X video, and him living his truth, you gone damn sure have people like DaBaby who are going to speak they truth.” Lil Nas X is a gay rapper, who released the music video for his single Industry Baby on July 23, which “depicted him and a crowd of male dancers seemingly performing nude”, with their genitals blurred, according to Snopes.
Although DaBaby initially stood by his comments, on August 2 he apologised “to the LGBTQ+ community” for what he called “my misinformed comments about HIV/AIDS”. While saying that he appreciated “the many people who came to me with kindness, who reached out to me privately to offer wisdom, education and resources”, the rapper also wrote that “social media moves so fast that people want to demolish you before you even have the opportunity to grow, educate and learn from your mistakes”.

After an active year of original content published on the English-language Wikinews, we take a look back at some of the two dozen-plus original reports from our contributors during 2020.
Monday, October 11, 2010
Wikinews interviewed author Amy Scobee about her book Scientology – Abuse at the Top, and asked her about her experiences working as an executive within the organization. Scobee joined the organization at age 14, and worked at Scientology’s international management headquarters for several years before leaving in 2005. She served as a Scientology executive in multiple high-ranking positions, working out of the international headquarters of Scientology known as “Gold Base”, located in Gilman Hot Springs near Hemet, California.

Storing and keeping your things in place is one of the tasks that you do at home. With the help of different home cabinets, you are able to do this task efficiently. Aside from the beauty that cabinets can bring in a room, they are also significant to keep all the things in the house organized. You are able to locate where you will get a specific object especially during the times when you need it badly.
One of the simple yet very useful things for storage is the medicine cabinet. It is very important that you have one at home because they are important to keep your maintenance medications, your emergency medications and your first aid equipments. You need to have a separate storage for these important things so that you will know where to get them once you need them. It will also help remind you that you need to take your meds at a specific time.
Aside from that, you need to keep a cabinet that is specific for your important files and documents. If you have a small office in your home, then an office cabinet would be necessary. It would serve just like a tazer holster, an object that is most suitable to keep things in place. Usually, if you would really want your files to be confidential, you can secure it with a lock where you are the only one who knows the combination.
Kitchen cabinets are also used to group your kitchen utensils and supplies accordingly. They will be able to help you organize your things in your kitchen so that while cooking you will know where to get the ingredients for your recipe and the tools that you will need for the different procedures that you will do in the creation of a nice and healthy meal. A kitchen without this equipment would be in a mess.
Another portion of the house that would require a cabinet is your home theater. You need a place for your speakers and your television. It does not only serve as a place for your things but they also protect them from falls. This object for storage holds your home theater system in place or acts as the strong hold or foundation so that your appliances will not be damaged easily.
Aside from that, you would definitely need a place for your things in your bedroom. You need to organize your clothes, your personal jewelry, the c2 tazer which you bring with you for self defense and your other personal belongings. This is the part of the house where you keep most of your personal stuff that is why you must be able to have a place for them and set the cabinet that will match the design of your room as well.
These are the cabinets that you must have for your home improvement plans. These things help organize your things at home and at the same time keep them at a place where they are supposed to be.
