    Compass Points News for the Public Purchasers Association of Northern Ohio Volume Two • Issue Seven • June 9, 2016 “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” ~Albert Einstein I think it has been crazy up in here for quite some time already… our Cleveland Cavaliers are in a do-or-die struggle with the defending champion Golden State Warriors in the most anticipated REMATCH in a long time and you must sense the importance of it, both from an economical and sporting level. Our own Lake Erie Monsters of the American Hockey League, the minor league affiliate of the Columbus Blue Jackets of the NHL, posted a 14-2 record in route to the Calder Cup Championship series against the Hershey Bears, and as of this printing hold a 3-0 advantage with game 4 in Cleveland on Saturday night and in one short month, from July 18-21, an estimated 50,000 delegates, media and visitors will assemble in Cleveland, at the same venue that the Cavs and Monsters riled up the Cleveland populace, Quicken Loans Arena, more affectionately called “the Q” , for the 2016 Republican National Convention. In addition to the prestige of holding such an event, it is expected to generate in excess of $400 million to the local economy and, who knows what might happen with Mr. Trump leading the charge as the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party for President of the United States. Tell me something, Northern Ohio Public Procurement professional… what have you been doing lately?? You can bet that Public Procurement folks in Northern Ohio are feeling the pressure to secure and plan and provide the necessary goods, supplies and services to stroke an eager, boisterous crowd that will be converging on Northern Ohio, in the eyes of the world, to be part of the history that is about to unfold.

That year she received her first camera, a small disposable one to use on the family vacation. At first she randomly clicked the button, not giving much thought to what she was doing. When her father examined her blurred images and aimless shots, he advised Michelle to look through the lens and think about what the resulting picture would look like. The next day Michelle saw a family of ducks, and remembering what her father had said, she lay down on the ground and waited for a duckling to waddle near her. That picture still hangs on her bedroom wall. 2 Now, six years later, Michelle was attempting to capture a sunset for a local photography contest. She groaned as storm clouds rolled in before the sun had a chance to cast its vibrant colors across the sky. 3 “Mom, I don’t think I’m ever going to get this shot!” Michelle complained, putting her camera equipment on the kitchen table and sighing with exasperation.

Preface India has a rich tradition of intellectual inquiry and a textual heritage that goes back to several hundreds of years. India was magnificently advanced in knowledge traditions and practices during the ancient and medieval times. The intellectual achievements of Indian thought are found across several fields of study in ancient Indian texts ranging from the Vedas and the Upanishads to a whole range of scriptural, philosophical, scientific, technical and artistic sources. As knowledge of India's traditions and practices has become restricted to a few erudite scholars who have worked in isolation, CBSE seeks to introduce a course in which an effort is made to make it common knowledge once again. Moreover, during its academic interactions and debates at key meetings with scholars and experts, it was decided that CBSE may introduce a course titled ‘Knowledge Traditions and Practices of India’ as a new Elective for classes XI - XII from the year 2012-13. It has been felt that there are many advantages of introducing such a course in our education system.

  • Closing the Loop in Dynamic Soaring
    AIAA 2014-0263 AIAA SciTech 13-17 January 2014, National Harbor, Maryland AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference Closing the Loop in Dynamic Soaring John J. Bird∗ and Jack W. Langelaany The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802 USA Corey Montella,z John Spletzer,x and Joachim Grenestedt{ Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA 18015 USA This paper examines closed-loop dynamic soaring by small autonomous aircraft. Wind field estimation, trajectory planning, and path-following control are integrated into a sys- tem to enable dynamic soaring. The control architecture is described, performance of components of the architecture is assessed in Monte Carlo simulation, and the trajectory constraints imposed by existing hardware are described. Hardware in the loop simulation using a Piccolo SL autopilot module are used to examine the feasibility of dynamic soaring in the shear layer behind a ridge, and the limitations of the system are described. Results show that even with imperfect path following dynamic soaring is possible with currently existing hardware. The effect of turbulence is assessed through the addition of Dryden turbulence in the simulation environment. I. Introduction For certain missions, such as ocean monitoring, dynamic soaring has the potential to greatly enhance range and endurance of small uavs. Albatrosses and petrels are similar in both size and weight to small unmanned aircraft, and they routinely employ dynamic soaring to travel thousands of kilometers.1,2,3 Deittert et al. show that the probability of winds that permit dynamic soaring by small uavs exceeds 50% in the southern oceans, and this probability is roughly 90% for albatrosses.4 The difference is because albatrosses can descend to very low altitude (dragging a wingtip in the water) and uavs must maintain a significant safety margin.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
