With the ownership of Mainstream Media being Australian, the initial site launched was "Australian News.Net". "New Zealand News.Net" followed.

The inventory also included city sites such as "Beijing News.Net", "Shanghai News.Net", "Seoul News.Net", "Bangkok News.Net", "Mumbai News.Net" and "Taipei News.Net". With events heating up in the Middle East, "Israel News.Net", "Palestinian News.Net" and "Middle East News.Net" followed, then the network extended to the United States with "US News.Net", "New York City News.Net", "Miami News.Net", "Chicago News.Net", "Los Angeles News.Net", and "Houston News.Net" among others coming on stream. In all, more than 60 of the group's sites are U.S. sites. "Europe News.Net" was

The group's Afghanistan news website attracted hundreds of thousands of unique visitors in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, largely because of the understanding Osama bin Laden had launched the attacks from his base in Afghanistan. "Afghanistan News.Net" received thousands of angry and abusive emails and posts on its chat board, while hackers eventually took the site down, which resulted in the

"Afghanistan News.Net" is also a selected Internet resource on Afghanistan for Berkeley Library. In August 2006 Mainstream Media's two hundred news portals went offline for several days when the domain name on which its Toronto-based servers were hosted was stolen and sold on eBay for $20,000.

In the context of radiation protection, activity median aerodynamic diameter (AMAD) is the MAD for the airborne activity in a given aerosol. Internal dosimetry uses it as a means of simplifying the true distribution of aerodynamic diameters of a given aerosol. Count median aerodynamic diameter (CMAD) is only used rarely. Half of the particles (by count) of a given aerosol have the aerodynamic diameter smaller than the CMAD, and the other half larger. A similar quantity, count median (geometric) diameter (CMD) is more common. Mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) is the MAD for mass. Median aerodynamic diameter

The "Rhein–Main" was launched in May 1953 as train number F 31 northbound and F 32 southbound. The service was operated by Deutsche Bundesbahn (German Federal Railways) with diesel multiple units.

During the summer of 1958 and the winter of 1958–59 the "Rhein–Main" and "Saphir" ran coupled between Frankfurt and Cologne after the "Saphir"s eastern terminus was changed from Dortmund to Frankfurt.

Because of poor loading figures on the evening service between Bonn and Frankfurt the southbound service was shortened to Bonn on 26 September 1971.

title: "100 mph Club" content: 100 mph Club The Champion Spark Plug 100 Mile an Hour Club was a group formed to honor drivers who completed the Indianapolis 500 at an average speed of 100 miles per hour or faster. It was formed in 1935, and continued to be recognized through 1969. It was sponsored by Champion Spark Plugs, and was the brainchild of M.C. deWitt, the company's advertising manager. During its heyday, it was considered one of the most prestigious honors in motorsports (the Indy car counterpart to NASCAR's famous Darlington Record Club), and membership was highly sought after by drivers. A total of


title: "100 mph Club" content: 124 drivers were inducted as members, with 1930 winner Billy Arnold named the club's first member. The first driver to complete the Indianapolis 500 at an average speed of 100 mph was Pete DePaolo in 1925. However, Norman Batten drove 21 laps of relief (laps 106-127) while DePaolo had his hands bandaged due to blisters and bruises. Thus DePaolo did not accomplish the feat solo. Five years later in 1930, Billy Arnold won the race with an average speed of 100.488 mph. He was the second driver to complete the race in under five hours, but the first ever to


title: "100 mph Club" content: do so without relief help. In 1934, M.C. deWitt, the advertising manager for Champion, had a conversation with driver Dave Evans. Evans had finished 6th in the 1934 "500", and in doing so, had become the twelfth driver in history to complete the full 500 miles solo, at an average speed of 100 mph. Immediately deWitt envisioned an idea to create an honorary "club" for the drivers who had accomplished the noteworthy feat. In 1935, the "'Champion Spark Plugs 100 mph Club" was born. The inaugural class would consist of the 12 drivers who had accomplished the feat thus far.


title: "100 mph Club" content: The first member retroactively being Billy Arnold, along with Fred Frame, Howdy Wilcox II, Cliff Bergere, Bob Carey, Russ Snowberger, Louis Meyer, Chet Gardner, Wilbur Shaw, Lou Moore, Stubby Stubblefield, and Dave Evans. An annual banquet would be held in the drivers' honor, and each inductee would receive a leather jacket. Carey and Stubblefield were deceased, and Arnold did not attend, but all of the other nine living members were present at the first banquet. The requirements to qualify for the 100 mph Club were fairly straightforward. A driver was required to complete the Indianapolis 500 at an average speed


title: "100 mph Club" content: of 100 mph or faster, driving the entire race without any relief help. It was permissible to be accompanied by a riding mechanic. However, the period in which riding mechanics were utilized at Indianapolis overlapped only briefly from when the club was formed. The 100 mph average speed equated to finishing the race in five hours or less. The driver was not required to win the race, but a strict requirement was to complete the full 500 miles (200 laps). Rain-shortened races, or drivers that were flagged off the track before completing all 200 laps (even if their average speed


title: "100 mph Club" content: was over 100 mph at the time) would not qualify. Drivers were inducted for lifetime memberships, but drivers were separately honored each time they accomplished the feat. Many drivers broke the 100 mph barrier multiple times during the career. Ted Horn accomplished the feat a record total of eight times in his career. Each subsequent membership was rewarded with being seated at the head table during the next annual banquet. Prior to the 1960s, the drivers were permitted ample time to complete the full 500 mile distance, even if it meant remaining on the track for several minutes or over


title: "100 mph Club" content: an hour after the winner crossed the finish line. In the very early years, completing the full 500 miles was even a requirement to receive any prize money. For a time, it was the norm for officials to wait until at least 10-12 cars completed the 500 miles before waving the cars off the track. However, that was not a hard-and-fast rule. Officials often just used judgement to decide when it prudent to stop. A total of 16 cars went the distance in 1959, while only five did so in 1938. In 1940, only the top three were permitted to


title: "100 mph Club" content: finish, due to a rain shower. The honor of joining the prestigious 100 mph Club was considered motivation to continue racing, even if the chance to win the race had already gone away. In most cases, several cars would complete the distance, and numerous drivers might be added to the Club annually. Around 1954, Champion formed as part of their public relations efforts, a Driver's education program geared towards teenagers and young adults.
