This has to be the most complicated elevator button panel I have ever seen. This is in Fassbender & Rausch chocolate store in Berlin. Maybe the abbreviations are German-based, but there were Germans who couldn't figure it out.
The elevator goes from the ground level up to the restaurant on the first floor. There are two doors at the ground level - one into the shop and one onto the street. This means you can go to the restaurant from the street level without entering the shop. There is only one door from the elevator to the restaurant on the first floor.
I assume all the keyhole buttons next to the EG and OG buttons are locks for those doors. They add to the clutter. They aren't buttons, but they look like buttons.
Then you have your usual open and close door buttons. And the not-a-button keyhole button at the top. I don't know what that is for.
This elevator went back and forth very slowly. I believe it was because people had to stop and think which button to push when they entered the elevator.
To add to the confusion, we have the LED display. I believe EG and the up arrow meant you are at EG level and you are heading up. However, I read it as we're going up to the EG level, which we can't because it is the lowest level!
Maybe it is only for younger people in Germany. When we got in, my daughter figured it out quickly while non-German-speaking-me and a group of Germans stood there mesmerized by the display.

I've always loved this type of double exposure pictures. Unfortunally, my camera can't shot double exposures, so I made this composition on Phosothop :)
Test fold done. Shifting away from stars for new horizons, I am continuing with other twisting shapes. (Previous: www.flickr.com/photos/36647565@N00/24096157744). The idea behind started when I wanted to come up with a simpler shape than just a star for twisting. Then the thought process of an interesting pattern with it. Took a while to figure, avoid overlapped pleats and accomplish the shape.
When interpersonal trauma occurs within the family between family members, it is usually repeated and can become chronic over time. Child abuse of all types (physical, sexual, emotional, and neglect) within the family is the most common form of chronic interpersonal victimization. Such abuse is often founded on problematic and insecure attachment relationships (between parent and child or others who have primary caretaking responsibilities). Parents and other caregivers who abuse exploit a child's physical and emotional immaturity and dependent status to meet their own needs or do so in response to their own inadequacies or distress, quite often have their own history of unresolved trauma and/or loss.
Rather than creating conditions of protection and security within the relationship, abuse by primary attachment figures instead becomes the cause of great distress and creates conditions of gross insecurity and instability for the child including misgivings about the trustworthiness of others. When it occurs with a member of the family or someone else in close proximity and in an ongoing relationship with the child (i.e., a clergy member, a teacher, a coach, and a therapist), it often occurs repeatedly and, in many cases, becomes chronic and escalates over time. The victimization might take place on a routine basis or it might happen occasionally or intermittently. Whatever the case, the victim usually does not have adequate time to regain emotional equilibrium between occurrences and is left with the knowledge that it can happen again at any time. This awareness, in turn, leads to states of ongoing vigilance, anticipation, and anxiety. Rather than having a secure and relatively carefree childhood, abused children are worried and hypervigilant. The psychological energy that would normally go to learning and development instead goes to coping and survival.
A Complex Past - Scores of years for ivy clinging and growing up an old brick wall on a historic building in downtown Elgin, Illinois. The detail of connections and paths is amazing.
The 'Reputation Complex' is a moving combination of various factors, components and drivers that are linked in a close and complicated way. This combination brings with it, for all organizations, equal risks and opportunities – the first to be managed and the second to be exploited in the right manner.
MSLGROUP's Chief Strategy Officer Pascal Beucler shares his thoughts on the fast transformation of reputation management and what it means for our clients and for us.

Another image for my Conspiracy Theory friends. In Las Vegas, Nevada late on a Sunday afternoon.
Janet Airlines is the supposedly "secret airline" run by the U.S. Government to shuttle workers to Area 51 near Groom Lake in the Nevada Desert. Area 51 is considered by most UFO buffs to be the secret base where extraterrestrial aircraft, crashed spaceships and space alien bodies are kept. Janet Air uses mostly unmarked Boeing 737-200 aircraft painted white with a red stripe down the side. Starting about 4:00 a.m. most mornings workers arrive at the security gate operated by E G & G, a government management, contractor in waves of about 130 people to board the planes for the short trip to Area 51 facility. Around three in the afternoon the planes bring the workers back to the terminal. From an observers point of view the whole thing does look a bit mysterious, but there doesn't seem to be any attempt to keep people from shooting pictures of the place or it's operations on the edge of one of the main runways at McCarran Airport.
I posted these shots after several of my friends asked me to. I'm not much of a conspiracy theory kind of guy though -- it all seems pretty straight forward to me.
So I decided to try making a cat complex for my little neko pals but I adit my diorama skills are far below my sculpting and doll customizing skills.
But hey I used up a bunch of scrap paper and cardboard and some leftover embroidery floss…

City Palace, Jaipur, which includes the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal palaces and other buildings, is a palace complex in Jaipur, the capital of the Rajasthan state, India. It was the seat of the Maharaja of Jaipur, the head of the Kachwaha Rajput clan. The Chandra Mahal palace now houses a museum but the greatest part of it is still a royal residence. The palace complex, which is located northeast of the centre of the grid patterned Jaipur city, incorporates an impressive and vast array of courtyards, gardens and buildings. The palace was built between 1729 and 1732, initially by Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber. He planned and built the outer walls, and later additions were made by successive rulers right up to the 20th century. The credit for the urban layout of the city and its structures is attributed to two architects namely, Vidyadar Bhattacharya, the chief architect in the royal court and Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, apart from the Sawai himself who was a keen architectural enthusiast. The architects achieved a fusion of the Shilpa Shastra of Indian architecture with Rajput, Mughal and European styles of architecture.
The palace complex lies in the heart of Jaipur city, to the northeast of the very centre. The site for the palace was located on the site of a royal hunting lodge on a plain land encircled by a rocky hill range, five miles south of Amber (city). The history of the city palace is closely linked with the history of Jaipur city and its rulers, starting with Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II who ruled from 1699-1744. He is credited with initiating construction of the city complex by building the outer wall of the complex spreading over many acres. Initially, he ruled from his capital at Amber, which lies at a distance of 11 kilometres from Jaipur. He shifted his capital from Amber to Jaipur in 1727 because of an increase in population and increasing water shortage. He planned Jaipur city in six blocks separated by broad avenues, on the classical basis of principals of Vastushastra and other similar classical treatise under the architectural guidance of Vidyadar Bhattacharya, a man who was initially an accounts-clerk in the Amber treasury and later promoted to the office of Chief Architect by the King.
Following Jaisingh's death in 1744, there were internecine wars among the Rajput kings of the region but cordial relations were maintained with the British Raj. Maharaja Ram Singh sided with the British in the Sepoy Mutiny or Uprising of 1857 and established himself with the Imperial rulers. It is to his credit that the city of Jaipur including all of its monuments (including the City Palace) are stucco painted 'Pink' and since then the city has been called the "Pink City". The change in colour scheme was as an honour of hospitality extended to the Prince of Wales (who later became King Edward VII) on his visit. This colour scheme has since then become a trademark of the Jaipur city.
Man Singh II, the adopted son of Maharaja Madho Singh II, was the last Maharaja of Jaipur to rule from the Chandra Mahal palace, in Jaipur. This palace, however, continued to be a residence of the royal family even after the Jaipur kingdom merged with the Indian Union in 1949 (after Indian independence in August 1947) along with other Rajput states of Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Bikaner. Jaipur became the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan and Man Singh II had the distinction of becoming the Rajapramukh (present day Governor of the state) for a time and later was the Ambassador of India to Spain.

Park Güell is a garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of El Carmel in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built in the years 1900 to 1914. It has an extension of 17.18 ha , which makes it one of the largest architectural works in south Europe. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Works of Antoni Gaudí".
奎尔公园（又译作桂尔公园，加泰罗尼亚语：Parc Güell）位于西班牙加泰罗尼亚自治区巴塞罗那格拉西亚区的厄尔卡梅尔山上，由加泰罗尼亚建筑师安东尼•高迪设计，建于1900年到1914年。作为安东尼•高迪作品的一部分，被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。
此公园原是一个商业上不成功的住宅区，开发者奎尔伯爵受到英国的花园城市运动的影响，选择这个只有少许植被的荒山，其用意是利用新鲜空气和视线所及的美丽景色，有60个三角形地块可供建造住宅。但是最终只建成了两座房子，其中一座原定作为样板房，但在1904年完成后出售，由于没有买家，高迪听从奎尔的建议，用自己的储蓄买下，1906年全家入住。高迪从1906年到1926年住在这里，这是高迪及其合作者的原创作品。自1963年以来是高迪住宅博物馆。1969年，它被宣布为国家财产的历史艺术纪念碑。
站在公园高处的，能完整的看到巴塞罗那城市全景和海湾。
El Parque Güell (Parc Güell en catalán y Park Güell en su denominación original) es un parque público con jardines y elementos arquitectónicos situado en la parte superior de la ciudad de Barcelona , en la vertiente que mira al mar de la montaña del Carmelo, perteneciente a las estribaciones de la Sierra de Collserola. Administrativamente pertenece al barrio de La Salud, en el distrito de Gracia. Ideado como urbanización, fue diseñado por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí, máximo exponente del modernismo catalán, por encargo del empresario Eusebi Güell. Construido entre 1900 y 1914, fue inaugurado como parque público en 1926. En 1984 la Unesco incluyó al Parque Güell dentro del Lugar Patrimonio de la Humanidad «Obras de Antoni Gaudí».
Kiki Smith (* 1954)
Blaue Sterne über blauem Baum
Blue Stars on Blue Tree, 2006
Tusche und Blattsilber auf nepalesischem Papier
Ink and silver leaf on Nepal paper
Albertina, Wien
Cross-media and interdisciplinary, Kiki Smith explores the foundations of human existence. At the center of her work is always the human body. Humans and animals co-exist, hybrid beings open up new realities.
The life-size woman, a self-portrait of the artist, floats naked on the empty Nepalese paper with her arms wide open. Her body undergoes transformations like the character of Daphne from the metamorphoses of Orvid, who freezes into a tree to escape the desire of Apollo. The skin of the woman resembles the bark of the tree, crossed by furrows and knotholes, the arms are branches. From the knees and arms drive young shoots with small leaves. They are signs of constant rebirth and regeneration. Between the woman's hands, the arc of heaven spans of blue stars and little birds: representative of the souls worn by Kiki Smith as tattoos on her body. The artist is interested in friendship, survival and protection.
From Pirosmani's actress Margarita, a hundred years after the death of the Georgian painter by a metamorphosis has become the American artist Kiki Smith.
Medienübergreifend und interdisziplinär untersucht Kiki Smith die Grundlagen menschlichen Seins. Im Mittelpunkt ihrer Arbeiten steht stets der menschliche Körper. Menschen und Tiere existieren nebeneinander, Mischwesen eröffnen neuen Realitäten.
Die lebensgroße Frau, ein Selbstbildnis der Künstlerin, schwebt nackt mit sich öffnenden, weit ausgebreiteten Armen auf dem leeren nepalesischen Papier. Ihr Körper ist Verwandlungen unterworfen wie die Figur der Daphne aus den Metarmorphosen Orvids, die zu einem Baum erstarrt, um dem Begehren Apolls zu entgehen. Die Haut der Frau gleicht der Rinde des Baumes, durchzogen von Furchen und Astlöchern, die Arme sind Äste. Aus den Knien und Armen sprießen junge Triebe mit kleinen Blättern. Sie sind Zeichen der steten Wiedergeburt und Regeneration. Zwischen den Händen der Frau spannt sich der Himmelsbogen aus blauen Sternen und kleinen Vögeln: Stellvertreter der Seelen, die Kiki Smith als Tattoos am Körper trägt. es geht der Künstlerin um Freundschaft, Überleben und Schutz.
Aus Pirosmanis Schauspielerin Margarita ist hundert Jahre nach dem Tod des georgischen Malers durch eine Metamorphose die amerikanische Künstlerin Kiki Smith geworden.
The focus of Albertina Contemporary Art is on the art of the second half of the 20th century. Both the stars and the diversity of post-1945 art will be on display: works by Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter, Arnulf Rainer, Georg Baselitz, Alex Katz and Maria Lassnig, among others, form the centerpiece of this year's presentation of contemporary positions from the ALBERTINA.
Around 80 masterpieces illustrate the multi-faceted artistic production, ranging from hyperrealism to abstraction, from facets of aesthetics of color to political topics, and illustrate the complex parallel currents of the past decades.

Spinel lherzolite (wet, cut surface; 5.8 cm across at its widest) - a Neoproterozoic-aged mantle xenolith in Pleistocene basalt from Mt. Leura, Victoria, Australia. The lava & enclosed xenolith were erupted about 22 thousand years ago.
----------------
Here’s a sample of mantle rock. This spinel lherzolite is a xenolith nodule in basalt lava that was erupted from the Mt. Leura Volcano in Victoria, Australia. The rock was plucked from deep wall rocks during the ascent of basaltic magma during the Late Pleistocene. Published research on xenoliths from this locality indicates they are from the lithospheric mantle (below the Moho & above the asthenosphere). The spinel lherzolite itself is a variety of peridotite, an ultramafic, intrusive igneous rock. It has greenish forsterite olivine, blackish pyroxene, and dark spinel.
Locality & geology - Mt. Leura Complex, a maar/tuff-ring volcano in the Newer Volcanics Province (a Jurassic to Quaternary magmatic province in southeastern Australia having intermittent, low-volume eruptive activity), eastern side of town of Camperdown, southwestern Victoria, southeastern Australia.
Age - spinel lherzolite xenolith is Neoproterozoic in age; the surrounding basalt lava is late Late Pleistocene in age (22 k.y.).
Eisenhower a hadügyi-ipari komplexumról:
"A kormányzati szerveinknél védekeznünk kell a katonai-hadiipari komplexum akár kért, vagy kéretlen, indokolatlan befolyás szerzésétől. A rossz helyen felbukkanó hatalom lehetősége létezik, és továbbra is fennáll. Soha nem hagyhatjuk, hogy ennek a kombinációnak a súlya veszélyeztesse a szabadságjogokat és a demokratikus folyamatokat. Nem kell semmit biztosra vennünk. Csak egy éber és tájékozott polgárság kötelezheti a védelem hatalmas ipari és katonai gépezetét a békés módszerekkel és célokkal való megfelelő együttműködésre, a biztonság és a szabadság összhangjára."
El Brujo Archaeological Complex, just north of Trujillo, La Libertad Province, Peru, is an ancient archaeological site of the Moche Civilisation in the Chicama Valley.
The Brujo Complex is represented by three major huacas. The Huaca Prieta mound dates back to the preceramic times. Huaca Cortada and Huaca Cao Viejo (the largest) are stepped truncated pyramids constructed at the northern corners of the terrace. Building archaeology unveils seven phases of construction spanning the early and middle phases of Moche era.
Huaca Cao Viejo is famous for its polychrome reliefs and mural paintings, and the discovery of the Señora de Cao. The 25 year old woman buried here was believed to be a 3rd century AD female ruler of the Moche state, and her tomb was full of gold and other previous artifacts.
The murals at the complex also depict the ritual human sacrifice that took place here regularly: teams of men would engage in ritual battles and the losing team would willingly be sacrificed to the gods to ensure fertility and peace in the community. Murals show the naked warriors (with fully erect penis) being marched to the sacrificial platform to be decapitated and blood to be collected for the gods.
