    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.

This trend appeared on the construction market along with the progress of advanced struc- tural solutions and the high demand for luxury apartments with spectacular views. Two types of constructions can be distinguished within this typology: ultra-luxury super-slim towers with the exclusivity of one or two apartments per floor (e.g. located in Manhattan, New York) and other slender high-rise towers, built in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Melbourne, among others, which have multiple apartments on each floor. This paper presents a survey of selected slender high-rise buildings, where structural improvements in tall buildings developed over the recent decade are considered from the architectural and structural view.

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.
