“The Modern Wing is the most recent addition to the museum as well as the greatest departure from original museum architecture.
“It utilizes key contemporary design principles, such as the use of natural lighting and a façade of transparent, glazed walls that help meet the temperature and humidity conditions required for art while also surpassing Chicago Energy Code requirements.
“The most recent manifestation of our mission to show modern and contemporary art, the Modern Wing is the home of the Edlis-Neeson Collection, the largest donation in the museum’s history.”

By The Elevator Consultants
The Elevator Consultants (TEC) a leading global elevator consulting firm, advises building owners, developers, architects and others involved with commercial real estate to be sure to factor elevators, escalators and vertical transportation into the growth and evolution of their properties.
As human societies have developed, the way we have constructed and used buildings has evolved as well. Instead of high-rises filled with formal offices and larger cubicles, many people now work in mixed-use and co-work spaces. Commercial buildings no longer simply offer a place to work but a destination for workers with workout facilities, rooftop conference centers or lounges, and coffee shops to accommodate the tenant.

Born Free USA, a global leader in animal welfare and wildlife conservation, has named Angela Grimes the organization’s CEO.
Grimes joined Born Free USA in 2010 and previously served as its director of development and operations. She has been acting CEO since August 2018.
“This is a critical time for wildlife,” Grimes said. “They face unprecedented pressures due to habitat loss and trade in live animals and their parts, among other threats that endanger the lives of individual animals and entire populations. In contrast, public opinion on wildlife issues has shifted. There is a growing awareness of the intrinsic value of animals and support for protecting them and ending animal cruelty. I am honored to have been chosen to lead Born Free USA’s life-saving mission into the future.”

A Lake Michigan Of The Mind
“Way down, below the ocean, where I wanna be, she may be.” – “Atlantis,” Donovan
Unmoored,
Unmanned
But for your formless soul
Chugs the glass submarine
Swirling in circles to the east,
To the depths of sleep

Hi Steve,
Curious if you typically have to deal with adding new hires into a bunch of different systems when they come onboard? Most companies The Beachwood Reporter’s size have some automation around this for HR / Payroll / Benefits systems, but generally the rest are manual (stuff like G-suite, Microsoft, Slack, Expensify, Salesforce, ATS, Performance Management apps, 401k providers, etc).

Two Blues Lyrics
1.
More Than the Blues
I hold my heart in front of my face
Like it’s a skull I’m talking to.
I see my sadness take up space
Like it’s something brand new.
If this is what is right,
Why’s it feel so wrong?!
My heart’s a house of fever
Showing movies all night long.
