Construite en 1921, cette centrale thermique d'Electrabel (originalement Intercom) située en région wallonne produisait d’énormes quantités d’énergie à partir de charbon. Responsable de 10% des émissions de CO2 de Belgique à elle-seule, l’usine a été fermée définitivement en 2007. Étendue sur une dizaine d'hectares, cette centrale est notamment formée d'un bâtiment principal et d'une tour de refroidissement, auxquels se rajoutent des bâtiments administratifs et une annexe munie d'une turbine de secours construits dans les années 60. Aujourd'hui la propriété de la société WANTY, cette centrale et surtout sa tour de refroidissement sont la proie d'urbexeurs venant du monde entier.
This was a fun collaboration with Intercom for an article titled "How to run 1:1 meetings that work for 2" and this was the solution!

Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia, also known as the Royal Yacht Britannia, is the former royal yacht of the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, in service from 1954 until 1997.
The worst case of hoarding I have ever came across is at Glen's Hangout near Cedarville,IL.Not only is the house packed,but so is the garage,barn,and one of the old schoolbusses that sits in the driveway.You literally walk over piles of personal and household items to navigate thru the house.An interesting,but scary,location...
Even more frightening is the fact that it is a fairly recent(5 years) abandonment.....
This speaker, along with many others like it, is installed in the Medical Center Annex building (former Manhattan Project installation) at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Some of the speakers are mounted directly to the wall like this, while others are mounted on brackets in a bi-directional configuration. These are connected into the paging system at Strong Memorial Hospital (across the street), and they sound surprisingly good for what they are.
An intercom (intercommunication device), talkback or doorphone is a stand-alone voice communications system for use within a building or small collection of buildings, functioning independently of the public telephone network. Intercoms are generally mounted permanently in buildings and vehicles. Intercoms can incorporate connections to public address loudspeaker systems, walkie talkies, telephones, and to other intercom systems. Some intercom systems incorporate control of devices such as signal lights and door latches.
On floor: WEVO shifter, Peltor intercom unit and fire extinguisher. The transmission moved around quite a bit on bumps, and the WEVO effectively prevented selecting a wrong gear.
On far side, the ball-jointed arm attached to the cage holds two rally computers (Coralba Giant and Rally). The driver's display is just to the right of the tach. When running a stage, it shows how much time you're early or late, based on the target average speed you've set. (Coralba's Pilot feature). Having this continuous readout for the driver greatly reduced the amount of cockpit dialogue during a stage.
With the 911 speedometer long gone, we dash-mounted a large-display Garmin GPS unit for use as a last-resort odometer - not shown. (Murphy was a frequent lurker on our events, who for several Targas took a special interest in messing-up our rally computers and speed sensors. Changing to Coralbas helped greatly).
One pitfall we found was that starting/restarting the engine could drop the voltage enough to reset the rally computers. Installing a second smaller battery dedicated to just the navigation equipment fixed this. This battery charged through a diode so it would be unaffected by the current drawn by the starter motor.
On the far side floor, the braided hoses are oil lines between front-mounted oil cooler and a milk-churn sized NASCAR oil tank behind the seat. These keep the navigator warm ;-) And on one occasion liberally lubricated his footwell. Emergency triangles mount beside the seat. Hidden by the steering wheel hub is a very large red oil-pressure warning light.
The new tach is needed for the modified 3.2L engine in this car (power band: 5,000-8,500 rpm). Reprofiled camshafts produce more torque, with gear ratios adjusted to match. First gear is good for 100 kph/62 mph. On town stages, this eliminates several shifts on every short straight - a significant time-saver. In 2006, our actual times on town stages equalled or came within a few seconds of the factory Subaru STI.
To allow driving transits on regular grade fuel and rally stages on high octane, the car has two fuel cells and fuel pumps and can switch between engine management maps. (The switches and fuel gauges are just ahead of the gearshift lever). For engine management it uses a proprietary unit developed by the driver's company. The exhaust note is distinctive.
This car competed in the One Lap of America and Targa Newfoundland five times each, winning the latter event outright in 2006.
There's a short video clip of the car on a town stage in this same album.

I am both for and against technology. Tonight I am against it!
Aperture decided to play dead, much like this vintage intercom, for a short while tonight leading to much un-needed frustration. However, after searching out and trying numerous solutions, many to no avail, I stumbled across a seemingly unconnected fix - and it worked!

Type ‘E’ cars (factory designation - 81-703) were developed and mass-produced in 1963-1969 by Mytishchi Machine Building Plant in Moscow, a total of 822 cars were produced; part of its were delivered to Leningrad (St Petersburg) where operated from 1964 to 2015. On its base to 1966 for Leningrad metro was developed improved variant of train model Em having three types of motor wagons: Ema - head coach (model 81-705); Em - intermediate (model 81-704) and Emkh - tail coach (model 81-706), all had driver's cabine. This variant was produced initially from 1966 by Mytishchi Machine Building Plant, then from 1968 to 1970 on Leningrad Carriage Works named after I. E. Egorov; 150 (130 - in Leningrad) of Em type, 32 (20) Em and 32 (21) Emh type wagons were built total. The cars of Em, Ema and Emh types were sent to Avtovo depot of Leningrad Metro and began to serve the Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya line opened in November 1967, and then Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya line, where they supplemented the rolling stock, which previously received cars of E type, and replaced the cars of the previous types G and D.
Further development of Em-type
In 1971 I.E. Egorov plant switched to production of intermediate cars of Em-501 type (factory designation 81-501), head cars of Ema-502 type (81-502) and tail cars of Emkh-503 type (81-503) with bodies like those of car No. 3894 but having three corrugations instead of two above the sill belt. Such cars were produced with reinforced bogies of Ezh type cars.
In total, during the period 1969-1975, the Egorov plant produced 202 cars of Em-501 type, 80 cars of Ema-502 type and 22 cars of Emh-503 type. Production of cars of the Em-501 type continued until 1978, and of the Ema-502 type - up to 1980 inclusive. In 1970-1973 the plant named after I.E. Egorov built cars of Em-508 and Em-509 types (factory designations 81-508, 81-509) for Moscow Metro. A total of 171 cars of type EM-508 and 62 cars of type EM-509 were produced.
Since 2001 St. Petersburg-based CJSC ‘Vagonmash’ (former Egorov plant) has started modernisation and renewal of Ema, Em, Ema-502 and Em-501 cars operating in St. Petersburg Metro.

Intercom: Attention! The mandatory STD warning has taken effect. Institute scientists, coursers and synths are required to remove all articles of clothing until the offended parties are isolated. Children are not required to participate. Suspicion will be levied against you if you ignore this warning, or lock yourselves in your quarters.
P5-C4: Is this some kind of prank?
R4-04: Nope! I'll bet you it was one of those damn Coursers. They're the only ones coming back from the surface.

This has to be the coolest intercom I've ever seen. This photo is taken at the front gate of an old apartment building in Sham Shui Po district of Kowloon and the hole is the end of a pipe that leads to the upper floors of the apartment building. To talk to someone in the upper floors simply speak into the hole and the sound is transmitted acoustically through the metal pipe, similarly the sound from your friend above comes out from the same hole. Simply ingenius!
Liechtenstein City Palace

Grand staircase in the city palace
The Liechtenstein City Palace is a palace in the first District of Vienna, Innere Stadt, near the imperial Hofburg. It is the Majorat House of the Princes of Liechtenstein and is still owned by the Princely House of Liechtenstein. The building is considered the first major high-baroque building in Vienna.
The palace was very extensively restored and 9 April 2013 will be opened by Prince Hans Adam II in the presence of President Heinz Fischer and, with works of art from the Princely Collections, it will be provided from 3 May 2013 on every second Friday to visits during tours als well as for the utilsation by (accomodated) events.
Location
The main entrance to the palace is located diagonally opposite the south wing of the new building opened in 1888 at the Burgtheater in Bankgasse 9, 10 Löwelstraße corner (there is no entrance). The Bank Street was called until 1862 anterior Schenkenstraße; present name recalls that lay at the other end of the alley from 1821 to 1860 the headquarters of the Austrian National Bank. Additional fronts of the building block are located on the Abraham-a-Sancta-Clara -Gasse 1 (side street of Bank Street) and at the subsequent address Minoritenplatz 4 (ministries adjacent). With the south side borders the palace buildings in the neighborhood of the Federal Chancellery .
From the windows of the east front of the palace in the 1786 first mentioned Löwelstraße looked one from about 1861-1863 above this section of the then demolished city walls around the old town. Located behind the glacis, above which one looked at the 1850 incorporated suburb of Josefstadt, was during the construction of the Ringstrasse in part obstructed. In front of the palace was not built because the city wall was moved here 1821 outwards and opposite the front of the Löwelstraße of the palace the 1823 created popular garden was made publicly available. Today are from this front next to the adjacent Burgtheater above the popular garden across the City Hall, the Parliament, the Natural History Museum and adjacent to the People's Garden the Heroes Square in front of the Imperial Palace to see.
History and design
The construction of the palace began in 1691 on behalf of Dominik Graf Kaunitz, led by Domenico Martinelli and using plans by Enrico Zuccalli. Stonemason commissions received the Vienna master Michael Khöll and from the imperial court quarry stonemason master Ferrethi Ambrose and his sons Giovanni Battista Passerini and Martin Trumler.
Prince Johann Adam I of Liechtenstein bought the unfinished palace, 1694, determined it as Majorat House and he had the building by Gabriel de Gabrieli and Martinelli until 1705 finished. On the side street to the bank the first monumental Baroque portal of Vienna was built by Martinelli. The portal side at Minoritenplatz and the staircase are associated with Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt. The sculptural features on the portal, on the attic and in the interiors come from Giovanni Giuliani, the stucco by Santino Bussi. The main staircase of Emperor stone (Kaiserstein) was erected in 1699 by the Viennese masters Michael Khöll and Wolfgang Steinböck, the echelons of the staircase coming from Kaisersteinbruch.
To 1806 was in the second flor the Liechtenstein gallery. Then the palace was leased to the Archdukes Johann and Ludwig, and the works of art were brought to the palace garden in Rossau. Later, the Russian embassy was quartered in the city palace.
Prince Alois II wanted to use the palace himself again and had the house in the years 1836-1847 expanded by Peter Hubert Desvignes inside, with the implementation was Carl Leistler commissioned who as one of several subcontractors Michael Thonet enlisted. The cost of the new equipment should have amounted to eleven million guilders.
In the palace have been installed technical devised on order of the Prince that caused a stir. Among other things, there were doors that were mirrored on one side and could been pulled up and turned, a lift and a house intercom. The greatest abundance of decoration and technical refinement has been undertaken in the ballroom: It is surrounded by three corridors and can be increased to these rooms by raising the side doors, they are also partly mirrored and turnable. The palace was also popularly known as artists care home (Künstlerversorgungsheim) because the conversion work made by Desvignes took nearly ten years to be done.
The Palais equipment by Desvignes exceeded all expectations of the Viennese Biedermeier and is therefore attributable to the second Rococo: elegant bentwood floors by Michael Thonet, flowery silk wall coverings and curtains of Viennese companies, complemented by extremely heavy Parisian chandelier shape after restoration today the interiors again.
Princess Nora Fugger (1864-1945) described the palace in her biography:
The palace has in terms of beauty and magnificence, hardly its equal in Europe. The ballroom is of immense height. When the lights in the candelabras on the walls, in the large girandoles and in the huge glass balloons , the lusters over the middle of the room, had been inflamed the beautiful room appeared as bathed in light. At the ballroom are bordering two side chambers that are separated by glass walls from the high hall. On the other walls high mirrors are attached, which construction is making a truly magical impression. In one of the salons is in the middle of the room a pool with a fountain. Immediately before the outbreak of the Revolution, Prince of Liechtenstein gave the first ball in his splendid palace. In 1851 - after the revolutionary years - again the first, previously described.
The palace was also known for the important collection of paintings of princes, the most important baroque works are since 2004 in the Liechtenstein Garden Palace (until 2011 Liechtenstein Museum ) in Rossau in the 9th District presented.
The royal family moved their residence from 1938 from their castles in Moravia, Lower Austria and Vienna to the Principality of Liechtenstein to avoid contacts with the Nazi regime as possible. The regime could not argue against the fact that the royal art collection was moved in the war for security in the principality, had the principality since 1806 been recognized as a sovereign state. The property of the prince could therefore, as the German Reich was not waging a war with Liechtenstein, not being confiscated by the Nazi regime.
The city palace was by a bomb and and aircraft falling on the building in World War II badly damaged, such as, Prince Hans Adam II of Liechtenstein at a press conference in January 2013, his first visit to the palace in 1953, recalled. In the 1950s on, it was quickly repaired, the ceiling in the staircase in the 1970s according to old recordings reconstructed.
Construction 2009-2013
Since 2009, the planning was carried out by the Viennese architectural office Manfred Wehdorn the general refurbishment of the palace, where, under the courtyard a three storey, 18-meter- deep underground storage for art was built. In the show rooms especially the Biedermeier Art from the Princely Collections at 1,200 square feet of space will be presented. The opening of the museum was originally for 1 December 2011 and on 19 October 2011 for the spring of 2012 announced.
On 15 November 2011, the opening was postponed to the spring of 2013 and on 16 November communicated that (as in the Liechtenstein Garden Palace), the term Liechtenstein Museum no longer is used and no regular museum operation will be provided. The house will be to view on the "Long Night of the Museums" and at group tours and (rented) events.
The in 2013 finished restoration was the first in many decades, in which the historic building structure and the historic technical installations without pressure to save or time pressure sustainably have been repaired; according to the client from January 2013 to around 100 million euros. As of May 2013, the palace and the Biedermeier collection on guided tours can be visited.
