Barbara Nesbitt Plaintiff-Appellant, National Muscle Car Association

by

¶ 1 Held: The circuit court did not err by dismissing plaintiff's claims against the NMCA, Promedia, the NHRA, and Ted Peters on the basis of a release and waiver of liability signed by plaintiff because: 1) those defendants fell within the definition of "releasees" set forth in the agreement; 2) the language of the release was sufficiently clear to define the "event" as the drag racing event during which plaintiff was injured; 3) the danger that caused plaintiff's injury was within the range of dangers of which plaintiff assumed the risk when she signed the release; and 4) plaintiff forfeited her claim that the NHRA and Peters did not provide consideration in exchange for her promise to release them from liability because she did not raise that claim before the circuit court.

The Standard Atmosphere

by

Aerospace vehicles can be divided into two basic categories: atmospheric vehicles such as airplanes and helicopters, which always fly within the sensible atmosphere, and space vehicles such as satellites, the Apollo lunar vehicle, and deep-space probes, which operate outside the sensible atmosphere. However, space vehicles do encounter the earth's atmosphere during their blastoffs from the earth’s surface and again during their reentries and recoveries after completion of their missions. If the vehicle is a planetary probe, then it may encounter the atmospheres of Venus, Mars, Jupiter, etc. Therefore, during the design and performance of any aerospace vehicle, the properties of the atmosphere must be taken into account. The earth's atmosphere is a dynamically changing system, constantly in a state of flux. The pressure and temperature of the atmosphere depend on altitude, location on the globe (longitude and latitude), time of day, season, and even solar sunspot activity. To take all these variations into account when considering the design and performance of flight vehicles is impractical.

Short Time Period Atmospheric Density Variations and Determination of Density Errors From Selected Rocketsonde Sensors

by

l. INTRODUCTION

A knowledge of the vertical and horizontal variation of atmospheric density is required to solve problems such as reentry effects on missiles and their components. For guided reentering vehicles, it has been shown that maximum reentry heating commonly occurs in the 5040 70-km altitude region of the atmosphere. The deceleration (in g's) of a reentry vehicle is given by the dynamic pressure, p=0.5pv2, divided by the ballistic coefficient, B= W/C,A, where p is the atmospheric density, W the weight of the vehicle, V the relative velocity, CD the drag coefficient, and A the reference area of the vehicle.

Improving Sponsorship Value of Sports Property

by

1. Introduction

1.1.Background

Sponsorship has gained an important role in the marketing strategy within last decades (e.g. Cornwell & Maignan, Walliser 2003) while the traditional methods of advertising have lost some of the effect due to over-flow in the media mainstream. Consumers start understanding their power and expect respect for the individual and look for products and companies that share their values. Sports sponsorship is way to share interest with customer by supporting the same team or sports type. It is easier to create basis for dialogue around common interests. IEG Sponsorship Report which has conducted primary report on annual sponsorship spending estimates global sponsorship expenditures to 46.3 billion USD in 2011, with North American companies accounting for 18.2 billion USD. Europe is second biggest sponsorship market followed by Asia Pacific region. Central and South America is the fastest growing sponsorship region not the least because of the FIFA World Cup and Summer Olympic Games in 2014 and 2016 respectively.
