The image shows a printed sign taped to the closed doors of an elevator. The sign reads: "DEFECT LOGGED MAINTAINENCE CALLED." The word "MAINTAINENCE" is misspelled and should be "MAINTENANCE."
Defect logged but have you called maintainence?

A dark photo taken at night shows a calm body of water with a pier extending into it on the left. The pier is brightly lit, creating a long reflection on the water's surface. A bright moon is visible in the sky above the pier. In the foreground, a low, rocky wall runs along the bottom of the frame. The words "See you next time!" are written in a large, elegant script in the upper-middle of the image. The photo is bordered by a dark purple frame with small, white stars scattered across it. A bug, a duck and a seagull have been hidden in the photo.

A Crowdcast webinar meeting screen capture shows four participants in a video conference call, with a poll displayed in the center. The poll asks, "Which team's insights on when and where quality coaching is most effective resonate most with your team's context?" with two options: "AVIVA (AJ Wilson)" and "CO-OP (Clare Norman & Shweta Jaju)". The meeting is for "The Testing Planet" and participants are instructed to join the poll at Slido.com using the event code #TTP-Ep10. A QR code is also provided for joining the poll. Chat messages are visible on the right side of the screen, including a countdown from 10 to 0 and a message stating "A draw of brilliance and knowledge". The bottom of the screen shows a row of profile icons for other participants, and a prompt to "Say something nice". A "Have you got an MoT Profile yet?" button is also visible.
Ba dum tish. That moment the audience were the real winners of the TTP Supernova Showdown with Ben, Aj, Clare and Shweta
