Professional wrestling weight classes In professional wrestling, a weight class is a standardized weight range for the wrestlers.

Jalan Pogoh Jalan Pogoh (Johor state route J14) is a main state road in Johor, connecting Segamat and Bukit Kepong. It is the main road of the Mukim Pogoh in Segamat. The length of this road is 20 km. Jalan Pogoh had been only paved halfway from Segamat to Kampung Pogoh (10 km). At the end of the 1990s the entire 20-km road was fully paved. During the pavement works for the remaining stretch, works included raising the road level because of the flood-prone areas along the stretch and also replacing all wooden bridges along the road with concrete bridges, thus abolishing the former weight limit of the road (previous weight limit: 8 tonnes).
Lineal championship In combat sports where champions are decided by a challenge, the lineal championship of a weight class is a world championship title held initially by an undisputed champion and subsequently by a fighter who defeats the reigning champion in a match at that weight class. In professional boxing, the lineal champion is informally called "the man who beat the man". Champions recognized by sanctioning bodies such as the World Boxing Association (WBA) or World Boxing Council (WBC), or the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) may vacate their title voluntarily, or be stripped of the title for breaching the sanctioning body's regulations or contracts. There will thus be a breach of continuity in the list of sanctioned champions which the lineal championship is intended to prevent. However, there is no single canonical list of lineal champions at any weight class, because there is no agreed upon method of determining the starting point for each lineage and conflicting opinions on what to do when the current champion retires or moves to a different weight class, although there is agreement that any stripping of a title be discounted.
The Biggest Loser The Biggest Loser is a reality television show which started in the United States in 2004. The show centers on overweight and obese contestants attempting to lose the most weight and to fight for a cash prize. There are different variations of "The Biggest Loser" around the world.

There is no minimum or maximum weight limit for the show but most males tend to weigh over or near 300 lb (136 kg). Females tend to weigh over or near 200 lb (91 kg).

List of current mixed martial arts champions Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a form of competitive combat sport, akin to boxing, muay thai, or kick boxing. MMA titles, or championship belts, are given to those fighters deemed by a promotional organization to have met a certain standard of athletic accomplishment in a specific weight class (most often by means of a championship fight). Championship belts are fought for at each weight class under a promotion, with only one belt awarded per class. Each belt is usually contested every time the belt holder fights, and passed to the victor of that fight (see the List of UFC champions for a chronology of UFC title belts). A belt may be vacated when a fighter leaves a promotion, or is suspended. At such times an interim champion may be crowned, or the belt may be awarded to the winner of a fight between top contenders.

The McAbee Fossil Beds, comprising 548.23 ha , were officially designated a Provincial Heritage Site under British Columbia's Heritage Conservation Act on July 19, 2012.

As a result of this project, the Dresden Elbe Valley was listed in 2006 as an "Endangered World Heritage Site" (one of two in Europe, the Medieval Monuments in Kosovo being the other one), and in 2009 became only the second World Heritage Site to be de-listed.

Live at the Greek Theatre 2008 Live at the Greek Theatre 2008 is a live album released by musician Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band in 2010. It is one of few current albums that Ringo Starr has released on a major label, this one being released on Universal Music Group, as well as his 2008 studio album "Liverpool 8", which was released under Capitol Records. One of the reasons that this particular live album might have been released on a more popular label is because the Greek Theatre (located in Los Angeles) is more of a bigger venue then some of Ringo's other concert locations. The album oddly removes many of the songs that were sung at the concert. On the filmed concert, also included with the CD, there are several more songs. Such examples are Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" and what would have been an obvious choice for the album, a live version of Ringo Starr's "Liverpool 8" song. Also, there is a sing-along version of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance". News of the album was originally revealed on the Beatles' official website as well as Ringo's official website.

The building initially served as the county jail and sheriff's office until Columbus completed its jail in 1880. After this, Baxter Springs ultimately gave up its attempts to become the county seat, and the building became its city hall. In 1905, resident Niles P.

List of Argentine operas This is a list of operas by Argentine composers. Argentina's first native born opera composer was Francisco Hargreaves (1849-1900) who composed "La gatta bianca" (1875) and "Los estudiantes de Bologna" (1897), followed by Zenón Rolón (1856-1902) who composed several operas as well as operettas and zarzuelas. The works of many of the composers from this generation were first performed outside Argentina. Native Argentine opera was to develop much more with the massive European (mainly Italian) immigration in the late 19th century and even more with the opening of the Teatro Colón in 1908 where most of the 20th century operas listed here had their world premieres. Some of the first operas to treat Argentine subjects or national themes were Arturo Berutti's "Pampa" (1897) based on the life of Juan Moreira and "Yupanki" (1899) based on the life of Inca warrior Manqu Inka Yupanki. Also notable in this genre were Felipe Boero's "Tucumán" (1918) set during the Battle of Tucumán and "El matrero" (1929). Considered by many to be the quintessential Argentine opera, "El matrero" had a libretto based on gaucho folk tradition and incorporated Argentine folk melodies and a traditional gaucho dance. The Spanish playwright Federico García Lorca was also the inspiration for several Argentine operas. His plays, "La zapatera prodigiosa" and "Bodas de sangre", were the basis of operas by Juan José Castro, while Osvaldo Golijov's 2003 opera "Ainadamar" is based on events in the playwright's life.
