Maple Leaf Wrestling
Maple Leaf Wrestling was the unofficial name in the 1970s and 1980s of the professional wrestling promotion run by Frank Tunney in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. History Queensbury Athletic Club The promotion, initially known as the Queensbury Athletic Club, traces its roots back to 1930, when it was launched by Jack Corcoran, who had previously promoted boxing in Toronto under the Queensbury name.

Major League Wiffle (MLW)
Wiffle ball, a team sport developed in 1953 in Fairfield, Connecticut, is a scaled back variation of baseball designed for playing in a confined space. The sport is played using a perforated light-weight plastic ball and a long hollow plastic bat. Two teams of one to five players each attempt to advance imaginary runners to home plate, and score, based on where each batter places the ball on the field. The term ''Wiffle ball'' may refer to the sport as a whole, or the ball used in the sport. Wiffle is a registered trademark of ''Wiffle Ball, Inc.'' and was derived from the slang word ''whiff'' meaning to strikeout. History Miniature versions of baseball have been played for decades, including stickball, improvised by children, using everything from rolled up socks to tennis balls. The ball most commonly used in the game was invented by David N. Mullany at his home in Fairfield, Connecticut in 1953 when he designed a ball that curved easily for his 12-year-old son. It was nam ...

Maximum Landing Weight
The maximum landing weight (MLW) is the maximum aircraft gross weight due to design or operational limitations at which an aircraft is permitted to land. The MLW is set in order to ensure safe landings; if an aircraft weighs too heavy during touchdown, it may suffer structural damage or even break apart upon landing. Aircraft also have a maximum take-off weight, which is almost always higher than the maximum landing weight, so that an aircraft can weigh less upon landing due to burning fuel during the flight. The operation landing weight may be limited to a weight lower than the maximum landing weight by the most restrictive of the following requirements: * Aircraft performance requirements for a given altitude and temperature: :*landing field length requirements, :*approach and landing climb requirements. * Noise requirements If the flight has been of unusually short duration, such as due to an emergency just after takeoff requiring a return to the airport, it may be necessary t ...

Spriggs Payne Airport
James Spriggs Payne Airport is an airport located from downtown Monrovia, the capital of the Republic of Liberia in West Africa. The airfield is located within the busy and thickly settled Sinkor section of the city, and is therefore convenient to the business and political districts of the capital.

The airport is named after James Spriggs Payne who was president of the Republic of Liberia in 1868–70 and again in 1876–78. History and scheduled services Spriggs-Payne was the primary location for domestic services within Liberia since the 1950s. Since early 1991, Spriggs-Payne has handled limited international flights.
