The Story Behind the Beauty Industry's Most Eco-Friendly Packaging
Posted - January 10, 2018
A recyclable, compostable shampoo bottle is a tall order, but teamwork made it happen.
Here's a sobering fact: The average American generates 4.4 pounds of trash daily, a whopping 30 percent of it packaging. Some people might read that statistic and vow to be stricter about recycling. Julie Corbett took things a tad further.
For Corbett, the wake-up call came in 2008, when her daughters' elementary school in Berkeley, California, adopted a zero-waste policy (no Ziploc bags, only reusable water bottles). Suddenly, the mom of two started questioning the sustainability of every item in her family's household, from milk cartons to cleaning supplies. "The innovation on the product side was there," Corbett recalls. "Yet in packaging, it was the same old thing."
Inspired by the then-new iPhone's curved fiber nesting tray and the Canadian milk pouches of her youth, Corbett envisioned an environmentally friendly bottle with an outer shell of recycled paper concealing a thin, plastic, recycled liner inside. The concept could, she believed, reduce carbon emissions by more than a third. Turning it into a full-fledged company, however, proved an uphill climb. "Potential investors thought I was just some chick from Berkeley who didn't know what she was talking about," Corbett says. Until, that is, she ran a successful test pilot with a local dairy at an Oakland Whole Foods.
By 2013, Corbett's enterprise, Ecologic, claimed a bustling factory in Manteca, California, and a client list that included Seventh Generation and Nestlé. Business appeared to be booming. In truth? "We struggled to find the right technology, equipment, and people," she admitted, explaining that Ecologic relied too heavily on manual labor and found it impossible to scale. So focused was the company on fixing the manufacturing process that they began ignoring calls and emails from potential clients—among them, Scott Schienvar, head of supply chain operations at L'Oreal.
At the time, in mid-2016, Schienvar had been tasked with tracking down the maker of Seventh Generation's packaging for a new purist brand, Seed Phytonutrients, that L'Oreal was incubating. He hit a brick wall at Ecologic. "They were ignoring us," he remembered. "So I totally stalked them."
Schienvar isn't exaggerating: When his emails to Corbett went unanswered, he contacted her on—where else?—Facebook. "I got a Facebook message from Scott going, 'Please call,'" Corbett said. "Then 10 minutes later, I got another message. I thought, 'I should call this guy back, because at this point, I'm being rude." Though she planned to let him down politely, Schienvar proved persistent.
"We're coming to Manteca to see you," he said.
Within days, he and Seed's founder, Shane Wolf, were sitting down in California with Corbett and Greg Rodrigues, Ecologic's new CEO, whose experience in manufacturing has helped transform the company. Seed's message immediately resonated and they believed —"Shane's vision is authentic," Corbett said—but could Ecologic handle the volume required? Even if they could, Shane wanted things they couldn't yet deliver: The packaging had to be recyclable and compostable—that meant glue was out. It also had to withstand a hot shower environment—when an uncoated paper container gets wet, it becomes soggy and falls apart, especially when shampoo suds further weaken the structure. And to reduce waste, the plastic pouch needed to be thinner than any other on the market.
Wolf remembers the meeting well. "They needed a big influx to help them move their technology from something that was labor-intensive to something sustainable from a business perspective." His proposal: He'd provide funding to develop a new packaging concept if Ecologic agreed to meet their ecological requests.
Corbett was game. "We approached it one step at a time," she said. By adding a combination of earth minerals, they created a water-resistant paper bottle that could stand up to the pressures of a shower. Instead of glue, the bottle uses a clever interlocking design that's just as sturdy. The interior liner (made with food-grade recycled plastic) is 60 percent thinner than typical plastic bottles. A unique pump evacuates up to 98 percent of the available shampoo—a consumer-pleasing innovation that also lightens the carbon footprint. What's more, the containers can be shipped nested, making them far more efficient to transport than traditional packaging.
The resulting bottle just may be the most ecologically sound in the world of beauty. "It's totally new—nobody has done this in our industry," Schienvar said. "It's stylish, it's clean-looking, it's a really strong bottle." Each one comes with a hidden gift inside, too: a packet of organic seeds from the Hudson Valley Seed Company, a farm-based heirloom seed producer in upstate New York, meant to encourage consumers to grow their own plants at home and participate in the cycle.
As proud as the Seed and Ecologic teams are of their accomplishment, this is just the beginning. "We use post-consumer paper now," Schienvar said. "But soon, we'll be making these containers from our own waste paper and cardboard boxes." That will then create a closed loop, which will bring Seed one step closer to the ideal vision of zero waste.
Ecologic is back on its feet. Thanks to the Seed Phytonutrients partnership, the company has proven its new technology and has the machinery to produce at scale. For Corbett, securing the future of the business has been hugely positive, but pushing the boundaries of sustainability is even more meaningful. "When I started the company, if you'd asked me whether my bottles would ever go in the shower, I'd have given you a big fat no," she said. "But I made a big mental leap, because this group came together with common values around preservation and collaboration. I'm starting to see this come alive—and it is beautiful."

DeMo, GST, Covid… 64,000 companies shut in North in over 5 yrs
As many as 64,449 companies went out of business in northern region comprising Chandigarh, Haryana, Punjab, HP and J&K in the past nearly six years, according to data shared in the Lok Sabha today. A total of 51,263 new firms were registered during the same period that witnessed demonetisation, GST rollout and Covid pandemic.
Textiles, garments, hand tools and sports goods were among the worst-hit sectors. Beginning April 1, 2016, the maximum 33,295 companies were shuttered in 2018-19, followed by 17,398 in 2019-20 and 10,981 in 2017-18. The worst affected were Chandigarh (14,295 shut), Punjab (8,877) and Himachal (5,385), which witnessed more closures than new registrations.In Haryana, the number of closures (33,161) was slightly less than the number of companies incorporated (33,523). Contrary to other northern states, Jammu & Kashmir saw more new registrations (4,267) than closures (2,731).
Senior officials in the Registrar of Companies office said a significant rise had been witnessed in the number of companies being shut over the past few years. They said the reason could also be the government (as per the Companies Act) including in the category of "closed" companies firms not filing financial statements or annual returns for two years.
Industry sources also said that demonetisation and GST affected the revenue of companies in the region, which is dominated by MSMEs. The impact of Covid will be seen in the later months of the current fiscal.Nationally, 5,00,506 companies were shut down while over 7,17,049 new companies were set up in the last six years. The data was shared by Minister of State for Corporate Affairs Rao Inderjit Singh in reply to a question in the Lok Sabha.

Telstra ditches 900 MHz for LTE-Advanced
By Allie Coyne on Sep 23, 2014 2:21PM
To focus on 700 MHz + 1800 MHz.
Telstra will cease development of 900 MHz + 1800 MHz for its LTE-Advanced network to instead focus on pairing 1800 MHz with its newly acquired 700 MHz spectrum.
Telstra's first round of trials for LTE carrier aggregation technology - in which two frequencies are used at the same time to theoretically double upload and download speeds - in July last year combined 900 MHz and 1800 Mhz spectrum on the Sunshine Coast.
But the telco has decided not to extend the first LTE-A implementation, and will instead focus on coupling the two 20 MHz chunks of 700 MHz spectrum it won in the federal government's digital dividend auction last year with 1800 MHz.
"The 900 MHz and 1800 MHz service is still operational in a number of locations, including the Sunshine Coast, but will not be expanded as we focus on the use of 700 MHz and 1800 MHz," a Telstra spokesperson confirmed.
"Our intention for carrier aggregation was always to focus on 1800 Mhz and 700 MHz – hence the purchase of the additional 700 MHz spectrum."
Earrlier this year Telstra announced a second LTE-A network rollout across 20 towers in Perth, Fremantle, Esperance, Mildura, Mt Isa and Griffith in which it paired 700 MHz with 1800 MHz, after being granted an early access license to the 700 MHz spectrum by the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
Last week it added Sydney, Adelaide, Darwin and a number of other locations to the rollout.
At the moment, only one device - the soon to be released Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - will be compatible with carrier aggregation. Telstra last week promised a further 13 devices able to use both 700 Mhz and 1800 MHz would be available before the end of the year.
The telco today also revealed in a blog post that carrier aggregation would be deployed wherever it rolls out the 700 MHz spectrum.
"And since Telstra has double the 700 MHz spectrum of any other carrier, this will provide us with the ability to offer greater speeds and capacity to our customers," Telstra's director of wireless network engineering Max Jennings said in the post.
Telstra first investigated the possibility of using its remaining 2G 900 MHz mobile spectrum for use in its 4G network in 2012, despite admitting to challenges around poor international take-up and a lack of compatible devices.
Fellow telcos Optus and Vodafone have repurposed the majority of their 900 MHz holdings for 3G networks in Australia.

Modern Mom Makes Mark with Textured Jewelry
Launched in 2004, Page Sargisson Jewelry is simple, clean, and modernly classic. Designer and creator, Page, seeks out objects whose texture, shape and history inspire her and transforms such treasures into uniquely textured, handcrafted jewelry. She creates all designs herself and her favorite materials consist of 10k gold, sterling silver, diamonds, and pink and blue sapphires. "Less is more" certainly applies here as her necklaces, earrings, and rings are effortlessly charming and perfect for everyday wear. Page Sargisson also offers a collection for men, featuring unique calendar or casino cuff links, money clips, and wedding rings.
Page grew up in an extremely creative household as she was always doing things with her hands. She still possesses that tangible creativity today as she would knit in restaurants if her husband would let her. While jewelry was once her creative outlet, she now directs that creativity towards knitting, needlepoint, and sewing clothes her for son, Harvest. She has even knit her husband and son matching sweaters, to which her husband was both appalled and elated. Even still, her friends often tease her for her industrious creativity yet inability to keep a clean house.
Page attended Brown University and the Universita di Bologna. She studied Art History and Architecture but never enrolled in a studio art class. She was told to invest in a more "conventional" job because she was smart and as a result, she worked as a communications consultant at a biotech company in San Francisco. During that time, she made jewelry for herself on the side, which later bloomed into a side business as people started asking to buy pieces. "After mid-20 life crises and a move to New York, I thought I'd try to do it full time and here I am five years later!" Page says. Once she moved to New York, Page began taking wax carving classes and slowly developed her jewelry from there.
One of her favorites is the Amalia Poppy, as it is one of her first designs and remains quite popular today. This necklace features a 10kt gold disc pendant featuring a textured poppy design with five diamonds accenting its center. This is also available in sterling silver and looks great with anything from jeans and a tee to a summer dress. The Amalia collection comes from woodblocks she found travelling in India that were traditionally used for textile printing. Thinking outside the box, Page, worked out a method of translating the texture of the woodblock into metal and creating jewelry from it. "This intricate texture runs across most of my jewelry and is what I am known for," she says. Amongst her travels, India holds a special place in her heart as the woodblocks she found there started her fascination with texture. Her other favorite is Italy, which she tries to visit every year.
Page is always inspired by the world around her and things she finds. Her Casino Chic collection was inspired by a rummage at a flea market when she found old casino chips and was instantly seduced by their luster. "I immediately thought the craftsmanship would translate into beautiful jewelry," she recalls. Here, we have the Pink 20 Casino Chip, a lovely necklace featuring a vintage mother of pearl casino chip in soft pink with the number 20 in traditional font. This chip can also be personalized with a 10kt gold charm and semi-precious stone of your choice. Page also adores her old casino chip with a tiger on it as well as the lilac from the Dahlia collection for its flirty fun and girliness. Her favorite earrings also happen to be a Jessica Alba favorite. She met Jessica early on, who has loved the Butterfly Earrings ever since. These earrings feature a butterfly silhouette cutout and "look so fabulous with your hair showing through."
Page Sargisson has a huge fan base, including those of well-known actresses. Christy Turlington bought a mini charm necklace for her daughter while Jamie Lynn Siegler purchased a pair of earrings as well. Page even recently custom designed letter charm necklaces for Courtney Cox and Demi Moore. The mini charms are great because you can freely mix and match any combination of charms, from an anchor and key to a unicorn or lizard. Featured here is the Mini Duck Charm in 10kt gold. All charms can be accented with three diamonds or pink sapphires and can be ordered in silver.
From her new Ledger collection, the Penny Saved Necklace is both modern and antique. A sterling silver disc displaying its rich texture through cursive script across the face of the pendant. It has the look of an antique coin while also possessing a contemporary design. While Page tries to introduce new collections each year, she continues to sell her classics as people are continually drawn to them. Currently, she is extremely excited with the changes in her business, from her rebranding and newly redesigned website to possibly moving her studio to Brooklyn. Page Sargisson has a worldwide following and is a big hit in Japan as she did a trunk show at Barneys there. She was thrilled to see so many women wear and love her designs. In the states, Page Sargisson can be found at Moondance and Fred Segal in Santa Monica, Vis a Vis in Nantucket, and many more boutiques nationwide. She hopes to introduce her line to more stores across the across and internationally. For a complete list of retailers or to view and shop her collection, visit pagesargisson.com.

It is in the nature of faith that one is capable, like Jung, of holding a belief without adequate reason to do so…Atheists do not have faith; and reason alone could not propel one to total conviction that anything definitely does not exist. Hence category 7 (Spectrum of Probabilities) is in practice rather emptier than its opposite number, category 1, which has many devoted inhabitants" (Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion, Kindle Edition, page 73. Bold emphasis mine).
This doesn't seem to be a smart thing to do. After all, a low probability is better than an impossibility. It is impossible that man can fly of his own physique, so I'd rather err on the side of low probability that I'd survive an airplane drop flying through the air with a parachute on my back than err on the side of falling through the air without any sort of flight helps — thinking that I'm a bird and "I have wings." You wouldn't want to see me fall without any aids at all.
The example of thinking I have wings and flying through the air with or without a parachute is an example of what this post is about: the idea that small probabilities are used to make big decisions. There's a "small" probability that God exists, but Dawkins would rather err on the impossible and say "I'd rather live as though I'm certain God doesn't exist, even though I can't say He doesn't with absolute certainty." It just seems as though he's choosing to live out an impossible claim rather than accept the low probability of God's existence and live with it. Dawkins would rather deny the empirical evidence for God (the evidence of probability) and opt to live out something that can't be true at face value.
Is the denial of the empirical evidence (mathematical probability) not contrary to reason for someone who, throughout his entire career, has dismissed Christians and other religious persons because they believe in God in the absence of evidence?
Some would say, "Well, that sounds great, but where are the examples?" I have a few, actually. First, let's say the weatherman (also known formally as the meteorologist) says that "there's a 6% chance your county will be affected by a hurricane." Someone living in Nebraska may not take the warning too seriously, but in Florida on the East Coast, any news of a hurricane is bad news. Someone in Florida would take the meteorologist seriously even if he or she gave a 1.5% chance of a hurricane. The reason? Florida has been hit with so many hurricanes that citizens living there consider the state hurricane-prone.
On the East Coast in states such as North Carolina and Virginia, for example (where hurricanes aren't as common as they are in Florida), residents will still take a 6% hurricane risk seriously and stock up on bottled water, food, batteries, and flashlights to plan for the "small probability" of a particular hurricane event.
What about the chance of rain? Most individuals don't want to find themselves caught in a rainstorm, so they'll take a rain coat or jacket even if the probability of a rain event is extremely small. If you go outside your door tomorrow, you could have a 7% chance of getting in a car accident — which is small compared to the 93% probability that you won't have one. And yet, would you still not buckle your seat belt, make sure your tires aren't flat, put gas in your car tank, and double-check your brake and steering wheel performance before getting on the road?
Obamacare is a current political topic that has great interest from the political left, right, and middle. After all, there are millions of Americans with low-cost, affordable health care that receive medical treatment and keep medical costs low. How many individuals signed up for Obamacare because, despite the "low probability" that some of them would ever need insurance, they'd rather be safe than sorry?
Medical decisions also involve small probabilities that lead to big decisions. If your doctor tells you, "there's a tumor in your left leg, but it's not cancerous," would you keep that tumor in your leg — or remove it to prevent a cancer flare-up in the future? You may never experience that cancer flare-up, but you will use the small probability that you could get cancer to request that your doctor surgically remove the benign leg tumor if possible. You can't see the future, but the human instinct has always been to "prepare for the worst and expect the best." A low probability of danger is still danger, and a low probability of risk is still risk.
Here's an example for the smartphone-owning crowd: let's say that you've been buying smartphones for 4 or 5 years and have never (and I mean, NEVER) dropped your phone in water or on concrete and cracked your smartphone display. While your track record with smartphones is superb, you still have that thought in your mind that something with your phone could go wrong — and you don't want to chance it. The probability that you'd damage your phone is small, but computers (yes, the smartphone is a "PC," a "pocket computer") can go wonky at any moment.
You'd rather use the low probability of smartphone damage (whether in software or hardware) to purchase insurance at an additional monthly cost than to forfeit it and spend another $800+ for a new smartphone should everything fall apart (figuratively and literally).
My last example comes from those who gamble (a gambling example is more in line with probabilities and mathematical methods; gambling probabilities are often discussed when mathematical probabilities are in question in mathematical textbooks). Let's say you're a gambler, you've gambled many times over the years and lost. Sure, you've won a few dollars here and there (maybe $100 at one point five years ago), but you've never had a lucky streak in playing the lottery.
And then, you see that the lottery jackpot sits at an estimated $100 million. You think to yourself, "My chances of winning are slim," but despite that low probability, you will still choose to play because of the possibility that you could win that $100 million (there's no guarantee that you'll win, and the probability of winning is low, but you're still hopeful).
In the lottery example, you're well within reason to play the lottery despite the small probability of winning. I'm not endorsing the lottery here, but it seems obvious that while you don't have any reason except the hope of winning to play the lottery (never had a lucky streak), you are well within reason to buy a ticket and play the game. I was recently told of someone who bought a $5 scratch-off ticket (yes, a ticket that cost only $5) and won $250,000. This individual has plenty of money already, but it goes to show that even small probabilities can pay off — literally.
Richard Dawkins has said that he cannot say with absolute certainty that God does not exist, but he then turns around and says "no" to God, living as an atheist as though he is absolutely certain God does not exist. This is quite contrary to reason. If there's even a low probability that God exists, then shouldn't Dawkins err on the side of the optimistic and search out the one true living God? Living as though God doesn't exist is a way of saying, "I don't know with absolute certainty but I'll live like it anyway." Is this not an illogical position to take?
Yes, Richard Dawkins and all atheists live by faith in that improbability of which Dawkins speaks: they can't know with unshakable conviction that God doesn't exist, but they're willing to live life without God regardless. They deny that small probability of God's existence (as he claims). If atheists can live like this, then what makes Christians irrational should they choose to believe in God in the absence of absolute certainty, despite the possibility that there is no God — and despite the small probability (Dawkins's words) that there is a God?
If there is a possibility that God exists, how can one merely "live my life on the assumption that he is not there," (Dawkins, The God Delusion, pg. 73) as Dawkins says in his book? It's the equivalent of saying, "The probability that I'll get in a car accident is small, so I won't wear a seat belt, or check my brakes, steering wheel, air bag, or engine just to be safe." If Richard Dawkins is a scientific naturalist and a philosophical naturalist, and the empirical and observable is all that exists, then doesn't it make sense to live by the "low probability" that God exists rather than live by the "improbability" that He doesn't?

At 83, Yoko Ono says she didn't break up The Beatles
The Japanese-born singer, artist and widow of John Lennon defended her record in entertainment magazine Us Weekly in the form of a listicle-style interview
AFP, New York Thursday 25 February 2016
Yoko Ono has been a prominent artist for decades but at age 83 she is again answering a familiar question -- No, she says, she didn't break up The Beatles.
The Japanese-born singer, artist and widow of John Lennon defended her record in entertainment magazine Us Weekly in the form of a listicle-style interview, "25 Things You Don't Know About Me."
Number 24 on the list: "I had nothing to do with breaking up The Beatles. And I think Paul (McCartney) is a pretty cool dude."
The reasons for the 1970 break-up of history's best-selling band have long been a matter of dispute among fans and historians, with some arguing that Ono's constant presence in the studio aggravated tensions among the Fab Four.
Lennon and Ono met in 1966 and eventually became constant romantic and artistic companions, famously sleeping together in "bed-ins" to protest the Vietnam War.
Ono said in the interview that she still missed Lennon every day. He was shot dead outside the couple's New York apartment building in 1980 by Mark David Chapman, who had earlier given a record to Lennon to autograph.
Among other insights in the interview, Ono said that she has not drank alcohol since the 1950s and that, if she had to be reincarnated as an animal, would choose a sparrow.
Ono last week released a remix album, "Yes, I'm a Witch Too," that features versions of her songs reworked with other artists.
Contributors include prominent alternative rockers Death Cab for Cutie, punk rocker turned dark electronic DJ Moby and her son Sean Lennon.

PRECIOUS carved authentic mother of pearl vintage strawberry shaped buttons, so sweet! These button are vintage "new" old stock - vintage stock never used. I was able to acquire a box of these. No two are exactly alike being that they are hand carved and the colors of the MOP vary some. Most have a golden color on them.The buttons take on the natural color of the shells. I have tried to show some of the color variation in last photo.

Division welcomes six new staff members
In recent months, the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs has welcomed six new employees to its staff. Following are profiles of these newest members of the division family.
Curator of Education Vertie Lee is a native Delawarean who has worked full-time for the division since 2004. Over the past year, she served as acting site manager for the Buena Vista conference/event center near New Castle. Prior to that, she spent 14 years at the John Dickinson Plantation outside Dover where she served as lead historic-site interpreter. A holder of a bachelor's degree in history from the University of Delaware, the Clayton, Del. resident is looking forward to her new role where she will provide direction, support and management of educational services at the division's five museums. As part of her responsibilities, she will play an important role in the development of the division's interpretive plan, and ensure that program research, development and evaluation are conducted according to nationally accepted best practices and standards.
Vertie Lee
Physical Plant Maintenance Mechanic II Christian Rieth has served for the past three years as a physical-plant maintenance-mechanic helper with the division's Preservation Maintenance Team which maintains, repairs and preserves the nearly 90 structures administered by the agency. A native of Smyrna and graduate of Smyrna High School, he has apprenticed and worked in a wide variety of trades. Prior to joining the division in 2016, he worked as an automotive-repair machinist, and holds a commercial driver license from the American Driver Training Academy. An avid avocational musician, he plays several instruments most notably drums and trombone, and has performed as a World War II historical-re-enactor.

Q: KendoUI Image browser I have added the KendoUI Image Browser to my application but when it opens up, I get the browser (upload, select, delete, sort, search...etc) but do not get the "Insert or Cancel" buttons... Nor do I get the "Web address" and "tooltip" bit at the bottom.
I'd like to have the whole image browser (I don't want to use the editor).
Any help would be appreciated.
Instead of this:

I get this:

Here is my code:

$(document).ready(function () {

            $("#imgBrowser").kendoImageBrowser({

                //imageBrowser: {
                    messages: {
                        dropFilesHere: "Drop files here"
                    },
                    transport: {
                        read: "/ImageBrowser/Read",
                        destroy: {
                            url: "/ImageBrowser/Destroy",
                            type: "POST"
                        },
                        create: {
                            url: "/ImageBrowser/Create",
                            type: "POST"
                        },
                        thumbnailUrl: "/ImageBrowser/Thumbnail",
                        uploadUrl: "/ImageBrowser/Upload",
                        imageUrl: "/ImageBrowser/Image?path={0}"
                    },
                    change: function () {
                        //this.value(); //Selected image URL
                        console.log(this.value());
                    }
               // }
            });
        });

A: It appears the ImageBrowser can technically be used outside of the Editor, but it is not officially supported. Here is a thread on the Telerik forum concerning this issue:
http://www.telerik.com/forums/why-not-make-image-browser-in-editor-as-separate-controle
Here are the most notable quotes:

You can initialize an image browser widget from a regular  element. The configuration is the same as when using the image browser inside an Editor.
http://docs.kendoui.com/api/web/editor#imagebrowser-object

$("#imgBrowser").kendoImageBrowser({
    transport: {
        read: "/service/ImageBrowser/Read",
        destroy: {
            url: "/service/ImageBrowser/Destroy",
            type: "POST"
        },
        create: {
            url: "/service/ImageBrowser/Create",
            type: "POST"
        },
        thumbnailUrl: "/service/ImageBrowser/Thumbnail",
        uploadUrl: "/service/ImageBrowser/Upload",
        imageUrl: "/service/ImageBrowser/Image?path={0}"
    }
});

The ImageBrowser exposes three events

*

*change - when a file is clicked

*apply - when a file is double-clicked

*error - when a request fails

  The change and apply events do not expose the clicked file, but you can find it out by checking which .k-tile element has a k-state-selected class.
The ImageBrowser does not expose an event related to folder navigation. You can get or set the current location with the widget's path() method.

A:
The change and apply events do not expose the clicked file, but you can find it out by checking which .k-tile element has a k-state-selected class.

It's possible to get current selected item with something like this without checking for k-state-selected class:
        change: function(е) {
            var selectedImage = e.sender._selectedItem();
            console.log('selectedImage', selectedImage);
        }

I haven't checked it for apply event.

Official Name
Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge
See This Building on a Tour
Who would expect a massive Beaux Arts block in the heart of the city to be a hub of contemporary arts and culture?
The Chicago Cultural Center's heavy walls have hosted a dynamic series of events and exhibitions over the years, including the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial. The building that became the nation's first free, city-operated cultural center started out as something quite different.
The city's first public library
Chicago had no public library until a group of English donors, mistakenly believing that they were replacing books that had burned in the Great Fire of 1871, furnished 8,000 titles to the rebuilding city. The books were housed in an empty iron water tank in 1872, then moved around the Loop until their first permanent home was completed in 1897.
THE PEOPLE'S PALACE
The building's masonry outer walls are three feet thick.
Although they're the same height overall, the north and south wings of the building have four and five floors, respectively, a vestige of the different purposes for which the wings were originally constructed.
The building's Tiffany dome measures 38 feet in diameter and contains 30,000 pieces of glass! It was restored in 2008.
Load Another Fact
Boston architects Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge had designed the Art Institute for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in the classical style Daniel Burnham set for the fair. Their plans for the city's first public library followed suit on an even grander scale—to the tune of $2 million. They designed an interior as lavish as the limestone exterior was restrained. Sumptuous marbles and vast, vivid mosaics marked the building's grand spaces, some inspired by Venetian landmarks.
Today, the Cultural Center's surmounting glories are a pair of remarkable stained-glass domes. Grand Army of the Republic Hall features an intricate Renaissance pattern, though the glass is dark with age. Preston Bradley Hall's enormous Tiffany dome—the world's largest—shines with newly-restored opalescent color.
KEEPING ALL THE BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS
A Docent Perspective
I remember walking into the Cultural Center's Washington Street entrance around noon and not realizing that there would be a concert in Preston Bradley Hall. Violins played a classical piece while I walked up the grand staircase, with the music filling the place, and I saw the faces of tour-takers as they first glimpsed the largest Tiffany art-glass dome in the world!
Siobhan O'Connor Hartsell, CAF Docent Class of 2015
By the mid-1960s, the building, like many structures of its age, seemed obsolete. Demolition was a real possibility—although a dogged group of historic preservationists, most notably Charles Staples and the organization that eventually became Landmarks Illinois, advocated tirelessly for its preservation.
When a committee was appointed to determine the future of the building in 1972, Eleanor "Sis" Daley, the reticent wife of Mayor Richard J. Daley, spoke up on its behalf, saying "I am for restoring and keeping all the beautiful buildings." Her one-sentence pronouncement is perhaps given too much credit for saving the building, but it made clear that preservation advocates had found their mark. A sensitive renovation added exhibition spaces while allowing the building to continue to serve its original purpose for another decade.
Finally, after the dedication of the new Harold Washington Library in 1991, Lois Weisberg, Mayor Richard M. Daley's first Commissioner of Cultural Affairs, completed the building's transformation into the Chicago Cultural Center. The space is now dedicated to making the arts a free and central part of Chicagoans' everyday lives.
Correction: The Spring 2016 edition of the CAF Members Magazine contained an earlier version of this essay. It has been revised here to correctly identify Eleanor "Sis" Daley and include additional detail about specific individuals who advocated for the preservation of the building.

Japan came into the semi-final match against China as the hot favorites as they have won the last two editions of the AFC Women's Asian Cup. Japan are currently ranked 13th in the FIFA Women's World Rankings and China are ranked 19th. The dominance that Japan have enjoyed in this tournament was the main reason why few people thought China had any chance of a win.
Japan started the match strongly and dominated the early exchanges. They were duly rewarded in the 19th minute when Riko Ueki scored the first of her brace. The match thus far was going according to plan for Japan and perhaps complacency crept into their game. The tactic of sitting on a one-goal lead was certainly a recipe for disaster, as the confidence of China grew the longer the match progressed. Japan offered nothing in terms of attack for the rest of the half and went into the break with the 1-0 lead.
China came out firing after halftime
Chinese coach Shui Qingxia had an inspirational team talk during the break. The team came out firing on all cylinders and equalized just a minute later when Wu Chengshu scored after a pinpoint cross from substitute Xiao Yuyi. The whole complexion of the match changed with that goal, and the belief in the Chinese team grew exponentially.
With neither team launching any meaningful attacks, the score remained 1-1 after regulation time. Strangely, the Japanese coaching team decided to only make one substitute in the 90 minutes despite their team struggling in attack. Ueki was once again Japan's hero as she netted in the 103rd minute of the match. This goal revitalized her lethargic-looking teammates.
Heroic display by China
However, the Chinese displayed all the courage that they are renowned for and never gave up. If ever there was leadership required, captain Wang Shanshan emphatically answered the call. She led from the front and equalized in the final minute of extra time, sparking wild scenes of jubilation among the Chinese players. This set the stage for the lottery of penalties.
The penalty shootout is a great leveler of teams as the tag of underdogs or favorites goes out the window, and so it proved in this match. China held their nerve in the shootout and deservedly booked their place in the final. It was the Chinese team's first Asian Cup final since 2008.
The undoubted player of the match was China's goalkeeper Yu Zhu. Yu made the difference in the first half as she pulled off a string of great saves. Throughout the match, she kept denying the Japanese attack, and she put the icing on the cake when she saved two penalties in the shootout.

From The Star – 20-litre ruling
From the Star, dateline 2009-12-16:
The ban on the sale of petrol and diesel over 20 litres to foreign cars within a radius of 50km from any point of entry into the country will take effect today.
Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the ban, which was aimed at preventing the smuggling of petrol and diesel, would be in place until a new mechanism for the management of oil subsidy is implemented in May next year.
"Directives have been issued to all petrol stations in the stipulated areas on the new ruling. We have also issued notices to all foreign-registered vehicles in the country informing them of the new regulation," he told reporters at the Parliament lobby yesterday.
With the ruling, he said, only Singapore-registered vehicles were allowed to leave Malaysia with more than 20 litres in their tanks as the authorities in the republic had already imposed a ruling that all vehicles crossing its borders must have their tanks at least three-quarters full of fuel.
I've always thought that the petrol stations whose main source of income (and the most vocal in complaint) is selling subsidised fuel to foreign cars, should be considered to be the same category as raiders of our national coffer. Think about it, they are colluding to give away a subsidy meant for the rakyat (at the cost of say RM1/liter) to foreigners. Where do you think that money came from, and whether it is better spent here at home?

Petroleum industry (~60billion in revenue/year)
Whether it is better spent here at home?
Just how much of it is actually contributed by foreign cars? Apparently the subsidy is gonna cost us 10billion near year… ~20million litres/day of fuel (inc. leakages).
[How] it is better spent here at home?
With the current system in place, I reckon it's just gonna increasing in coming years. Unless there's proper development & investment in public transportation we rakyats will continue slaving for the 'malaysian dream'- a car for each member of the family….
*~27million litres/day of fuel at Rm1/liter(minus leakages).
-Malaysia Population: 28 million (~70% above the ages of 16, a potential 20million motorist on the road)
why don't we just not allow cars from other country to enter. If they want to enter, charge them a levy of RM150 per day.
That should cover any subsidy.
Jabba: good point. Singapore does that to foreign (read Malaysian) cars entering Singapore.

The latest intel on the matter arrived Thursday afternoon in the form of a blurry paparazzi shot and a few witness statements, and it is, in fact, extremely convincing. Per TMZ, the photo in question was snapped as Bieber and Baldwin walked up the steps of the New York City Clerk's Office, which contains the city's Marriage Bureau, the distributor of marriage licenses.
Eyewitnesses inside the office told TMZ that the lovebirds appeared emotional over the ordeal, with Bieber reportedly even shedding a few tears while picking up the (alleged) license with his fiancée. "I can't wait to marry you, baby," he reportedly told Baldwin at one point.
If true, and Bieber and Baldwin are indeed now in possession of a marriage license, previous reports that the pair were waiting until 2019 to tie the knot would be rendered completely inaccurate. According to the Clerk's Office, once obtained, a marriage license can't be signed for at least 24 hours and stays valid for only 60 days. Additionally, it can only be used for weddings that take place within New York state, meaning the Biebwin nuptials would likely occur in the vicinity of New York City, sometime between Friday afternoon and midnight on November 13. That narrows things down.
Just this week, Baldwin spilled some details about her upcoming wedding. "I just picture lights strung everywhere," she told The Cut on Thursday. "I think having it in the woods would be so beautiful." At the time, the 21-year-old also hinted that the wedding would be on the West Coast in 2019, making the errand she ran with her husband-to-be later that day all the more confusing. Perhaps the duo were simply mapping out the route they'll eventually take when it's actually time to pick up their marriage license? Alternatively, maybe Bieber and Baldwin didn't even visit the Marriage Bureau at all and just stopped by the City Clerk's Office to learn more about lobbying procedures or to start the process of becoming Commissioners of Deeds. All equally exciting options!

Kerry Buckley: Managing cloud and on-prem infrastructure
An interview with Kerry Buckley, Lead IT Infrastructure at Greylock Partners.
What do you ACTUALLY do?
Like most members of a small IT staff, I wear many hats. My main role is managing our cloud and on-prem infrastructure across our 3 office locations. I also really enjoy managing and driving projects. Some days you'll find me knee deep in Powershell or firewall configs, others days I'm partnering with members of our Ops team on a Salesforce CRM implementation.
What types of devices do you support?
We support whatever people need to get their work done. It's how we roll.
What's your favorite piece of tech?
Macbook Pro and my iPhone X. I'm glued to both of them (too much!)
What tools or apps are most important to your job?
I live on the East coast (Greylock is primarily a west coast firm), so I'm remote 95% of the time. Thankfully, technology makes this a non-issue.
Without these tools, I'd be lost:
Slack – my lifeline for communication within our team and most of the firm.
Asana – I'm heavy in project work and Asana makes this much easier to manage.
Sumologic – if you're not dumping your logs into some kind of log management tool, you're missing out! Sumo gives me insight into our infrastructure, all in one place. I use it daily and I'm always finding new use cases for it.
Quip – took me a while to warm up to it, I admit – but this is a great collaborative tool.
Do you prefer hands-on, or troubleshooting from afar?
Nothing can replace being in a room with someone, but given my physical proximity to our users and infrastructure, troubleshooting from afar is my jam.
Favorite thing about your IT environment?
I love that it's totally ours. There's really no red tape or management hoops to jump through in order to make changes or get stuff done. I feel like this makes us SUPER productive and allows us to provide top notch IT experience to our users. It also means the business inherently trusts us, which is super empowering.
Thing you'd most like to change about it?
I always joke that I'd love to start with a clean slate, it would just be so much easier to start all over again. Migrating off legacy apps and hardware is always a challenge and never goes as quickly as I'd like it to, but we are getting there!
What's on your desk?
Ahh, my home office setup (where I mainly work). Let's see: really old Thunderbolt display, Macbook Pro with 5 different adapters (thanks, Apple), keyboard, trackpad, several drawings from my 2 kids. Family photos, a Sumologic Sumo wrestler. Falmouth Road race mug (always sporting running swag).
How did you start your career in IT?
I've been passionate about technology since before I can remember. I was fortunate to have tech related work studies and summer internships throughout college. I got my hands dirty and learned a bunch, which helped build my resume enough to land a decent consulting gig shortly after graduating. My first real job was working for an IT consulting firm, mostly with VC's in the Boston area. I worked a LOT of hours and gained a ton of experience in a short period of time.
What are the biggest misconceptions of your role, internally or externally?
People think because I work in tech I simply "fix computers". It used to bother me but now I can laugh about it. Yes, I do roll up my sleeves at times, but working in technology is about more than providing support. IT has the opportunity to partner with and add value to the business: we seek to understand workflows, and build technology solutions to solve problems. The break/fix IT mentality is fading away. Sure, being super technical is great, but it's no longer everything.
What was your proudest professional moment?
I used to be one of the youngest (least experienced) employees at an IT consulting firm. Our company sent us all to Cisco training for the CCNA certification (back when it was one exam and insanely hard!). Out of the 15 or so of us, I was the only one to take and pass the exam, becoming a CCNA. I was super proud of that.
What are the biggest challenges in your work?
Anything not related to technology. AKA changing end user habits or behaviors – change is hard…technology is easy!!
Most cringeworthy request?
Oh man. I remember back in the day, being asked to touch some pretty dirty keyboards. (yuck) When I was in college, I had to support student computers and let's just say that the content (desktop wallpaper) on some of the machines made things…awkward at times. Glad those days are long gone!
Do you stay hydrated at work?
Coffee in the morning, always. Outside of that, I drink an obscene amount of water.
CLI or GUI?
Both. I prefer GUI for the routine stuff, but I'm definitely not afraid to jump into CLI – sometimes that's the only way to really get it done.
DIY or turnkey?
Given we are a small shop, it's tough to devote a resource to DIY an entire solution, so I mostly lean towards turnkey.

. In the Soviet Union, Tengiz Abuladze's Repentance was as much an event as a film: one of the most important of the censored films to come off the shelf with the new cultural liberalization of the late 1980s, it was the first to deal with the terrors of the Stalin era. This it does in an oblique but unmistakable way-a way typical of Abuladze, whose art is one of symbolism and surrealism, with a strong feeling for the eccentricities of character. The central figure is a parody of the dictator: with attributes of Stalin-at once whimsical, vindictive, and paranoid-a Hitlerian mustache, and a black shirt à la Mussolini, he is all dictators. Soviet audiences, however, recognized the model for this portrait in Lavrenti Beria, Stalin's much-feared head of the secret police. In the film, he is one Varlam Aravidze, mayor of a fictional city, who, when we meet him, is being ceremoniously buried. But Aravidze will not stay buried: his body keeps turning up to haunt and embarrass his son Abel, a high official in a new age. The body snatcher turns out to be a woman, Ketevan Barateli, determined to keep alive Aravidze's memory-not as a benevolent dictator of yesteryear, but as a vicious tyrant under whom her family suffered. Abel Aravidze struggles to salvage his own career by suppressing Ketevan, but repentance is left to yet another generation, that of his son. Abuladze's picture is at once specific to the memory of the historical horrors, and general to a Kafkaesque collective memory of tyranny. Anachronisms such as powdered wigs and horse-drawn carts thus should come as no surprise to the viewer familiar with his technique.

Home Features 4 Northside United members arrested for blocking Del Monte Building
4 Northside United members arrested for blocking Del Monte Building
NSC Editor
Pittsburgh Police arrested four people affiliated with community organizing group Northside United around 11 a.m. Thursday for blocking the doors to the Del Monte Building on the North Shore.
Members of Northside United said they were blocking the doors in order to protest Continental Real Estate's unwillingness to negotiate with the organizing group for better wages for workers in the Del Monte Building. Continental developed and now manages the Del Monte Building.
Three of the people, Rachel Canning, Angel Gober and Barney Oursler were released on the scene after being cited for civil disobedience, according to Canning and Police Sergeant Lou Gaila.
The fourth person, Paradise Gray, was arrested and taken to Allegheny County Jail for resisting arrest, Canning said. Gaila confirmed that Gray was taken to the jail for resisting arrest, and officials at the jail said he was being held pending arraignment.
Jennifer England, who handles media relations for Northside United, said Northside United members had made many attempts to meet with Continental and other developers on the North Shore in the past.
The organization did not attempt to meet with members of the Del Monte Corporation today or Continental Real Estate, and instead decided that civil disobedience might force a meeting between parties.
Many of the newer buildings on the North Shore do not have unionized workforces, unlike buildings Downtown, and England said Northside United protests this because non-union workers earn a lower wage, which in turns leads to a higher crime rate.
According to other members a large man tried to exit the building while two female members were blocking the door by attempting to force the doors open and push them out of the way. England said she put her hands on the door to try and prevent the man from injuring the women.
According to England, Gray intervened in the matter, because he was concerned about the safety of two female members, Canning and Gober. Canning said Gray was videotaping the event and was not involved in the protest before trying to help the girls.
Gaila — who arrived on the scene after another police officer, Officer Zett, arrested Gray — said Gray was given a verbal warning to vacate the doorway and refused.
"He resisted the officer's attempt to pull him away from the door," Gaila said.
"That's the huge injustice," Canning said after Gray's arrest, "because he wasn't resisting arrest."
She added that the group had not anticipated anyone being so aggressive in their attempts to leave the building.
The Del Monte Corporation refused to comment at the scene, and has not returned phone calls.
