What I learned on the Internet today
So much new knowledge:
~ The Close Door elevator button doesn't do anything except pacify impatient riders.
~ Clarins, my former employer, who has sworn for years that it wants to remain independent, is installing a new CEO as the son of the founder steps down, throwing his and his brother's majority family ownership into long-term question.
~ Lancome, Orlane and Sisley, three major beauty brands, were all founded by different generations of the same family. (Side learning: reading T Magazine online is abhorrent.)
~ The infamous waiting list for Hermes Birkin bags doesn't exist.
~ And, not least, this taste-test of dogs' preferences for gourmet treats versus good ol' Milk-Bones. No spoilers here.

According to the law, close door elevator button has to do something, for emergency response personnel.

Yes, this is correct, and stated as such in the article. Good catch. To the lay elevator rider, though, the button is worthless.
