Allan McDonald Leitch (27 December 1902 – 1 July 1976) was an Australian rules footballer who played for New Town in the Tasmanian Football League (TFL) and Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Leitch was the son of William Leitch. He was one of eight Carlton debutantes in the opening round of the 1925 VFL season and played in all 17 games that year. A defender, he then returned to his original club, New Town, where he won the Wilson Bailey Trophy as the league's 'best and fairest'. The following season the award was renamed in honour of his father, William Leitch. He came close to winning it in 1931, finishing runner-up behind Albert Collier.

Amongst his 13 interstate appearances, Leitch represented Tasmania at the 1924 Hobart and 1930 Adelaide Carnivals. He had been selected for the Melbourne Carnival, in 1927, but was unable to make the journey. Leith also regularly played for the TANFL representative team, 24 times in all.

In 2000, Leitch was named in the back pocket of the official Glenorchy (New Town) 'Team of the Century' and in 2005 he was an inductee into the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame.

Jericho is an American Western film, produced by Black Night Productions and released in October 2000 starring Mark Valley and directed by Merlin Miller. The filming took place in Alamo Village, Highway 674, Brackettville, Texas, in the United States of America. Jericho, played by Mark Valley, wakes up with no memory, but it's apparent that he's quite skilled with a gun. He is befriended by Joshua (Leon Coffee), who appears to be his polar opposite: He's a black man and true believer in the Lord, whereas Jericho is white and doubtful of everything, especially himself. Side by side, they attempt to piece together the amnesiac's past, which may or may not have something to do with a robbery, and either way is somehow connected to a town that's also called Jericho.

Cast
Mark Valley as Jericho
Leon Coffee as Joshua
R. Lee Ermey as Marshal

Buck Taylor as Pap Doolin

Reception
Joe Leydon of Variety called it a non-P.C., bland throwback to Saturday matinee fare.

Mendoza Province is Argentina's most important wine region, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the country's entire wine production. Located in the eastern foothills of the Andes, in the shadow of Aconcagua, vineyards are planted at some of the highest altitudes in the world, with the average site located  above sea level. The principal wine producing areas fall into two main departments-Maipú and Luján, which includes Argentina's first delineated appellation established in 1993 in Luján de Cuyo. The pink-skinned grapes of Criolla Grande and Cereza account for more than a quarter of all plantings but Malbec is the region's most important planting, followed closely by Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Chardonnay.  Mendoza is considered the heart of the winemaking industry in Argentina with the vast majority of large wineries located in the provincial capital of Mendoza.

History

The region of Mendoza, or historically Cuyo, experienced an unprecedented wine-boom in the 19th century and early 20th century which turned it into the fifth largest wine growing area of the world and the first in Latin America. The establishment of the Buenos Aires-Mendoza railroad in 1885 ended the lengthy and costly trade with carts that connected these two regions of Argentina and sparked development of vineyards in Mendoza. Furthermore, massive immigration to Río de La Plata mainly from Southern Europe increased demand and brought know-how to the old-fashioned Argentine wine industry. The vineyards of Mendoza totalled 1,000 ha in 1830 but grew to 45,000 in 1910, surpassing Chile which had during the 19th century a larger area planted with vines and a more modern industry. By 1910 around 80 percent of the area of Argentine vineyards were planted with French stock, mainly Malbec.

Climate and geography

Located in the far western expanse of Argentina, the Climate of Mendoza is continental with semi-arid desert conditions.  There are four distinct seasons throughout the year, without any real temperature extremes. This provides a very stable growing cycle for the vines without any major events such as winter dormancy. The main concern for winemakers regarding the climate is the hail during the summer months which is known to locals as La Piedra.

The soil of the Mendoza wine region is primarily alluvial composed of loose sand over clay. Mountain rivers, including the Desaguadero, Mendoza, Tunuyán, Diamante and the Atuel Rivers, provide ample water supplies from melted glaciers in the Andes. Nearly 17,000 boreholes are scattered throughout the region, providing the equivalent of an additional two rivers' worth of water flow to the area. A system of irrigation channels, canals and reservoirs (some dating to the 16th century) help sustain viticulture in this semi-arid desert region.

Wine producing areas
As of 2008, the Mendoza region contained more than 356,000 acres (144,000 hectares) of planted vineyards-producing nearly two-thirds of the entire Argentine wine production. The principal wine producing areas fall into two main departments – Maipú and Luján, which includes Argentina's first delineated appellation established in 1993 in Luján de Cuyo. With vineyards planted at altitudes between , the Luján de Cuyo region is known particular for its Malbec which seems to thrive in this region as a mean annual temperature  of . Historically the San Rafael region to the south and San Martín region to the east of the city of Mendoza were important centers for wine production. San Rafael was also awarded DOC status in 1993. However the switch to premium wine production of international varieties has diminished their importance. One area of emerging importance in the Mendoza wine region is the Valle de Uco which includes the Tupungato Department featuring vineyards planted nearly  above sea levels and is emerging as a source for premium quality white wine varietals such as Chardonnay.
In the Luján department, areas that may appear on wine labels include the towns of Anchoris, Agrelo, Carrodilla, Chacras de Coria, Las Compuertas, Mayor Drummond, Perdriel, Tres Esquinas, Ugarteche and Vistalba. In the Maipú department, areas that may appear on wine labels include the towns of Maipú, Coquimbito, Cruz de Piedra, Las Barrancas, Lunlunta and Russell.

Argentina's most highly rated Malbec wines originate from Mendoza's high altitude wine regions of Lujan de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. These Districts are located in the foothills of the Andes mountains between  elevation.

The subject of elevation is of much interest to the wine world because with increased altitude, the intensity of the sunlight increases. The role of this increased light intensity is currently being investigated by Bodega Catena Zapata's research and development department headed up by Laura Catena, Alejandro Vigil and Fernando Buscema.

Grape varieties
The pink-skinned varieties of Cereza and Criolla Grande have historically formed the backbone of the Mendoza wine industry and today still account for around a quarter of all vineyard plantings. Used primarily for inexpensive jug wines and grape concentrate, their importance has steadily declined as the Mendoza region focuses more on the export of premium wine varietals. Malbec has emerged as the most important variety followed, in planted acreage, by Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

In the Battle of Castiglione on 5 August 1796, the French Army of Italy under the command of General Napoleon Bonaparte defeated an Austrian army led by Field Marshal Dagobert Sigmund von Wurmser. Castiglione and the Battle of Lonato were the major actions in a campaign which marked the first attempted relief of the Siege of Mantua. While Wurmser advanced east of Lake Garda with three columns, Peter Quasdanovich moved his column into the area west of Lake Garda. The Austrians pushed back the French forces and forced Bonaparte to raise the siege. However, the French commander massed against Quasdanovich and forced him to retreat after a week of see-saw fighting. After disposing of Quasdanovich, Bonaparte turned on Wurmser and defeated the main army also. In the sequel, the French pushed the Mantua garrison back and blockaded the city.

Metropolitan was an American magazine, published monthly from 1895 to 1925 in New York City. Former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt was editor of the magazine during World War I when it focused on politics and literature. It was sometimes named, or called, Metropolitan Magazine or The Metropolitan, and its final issues were published as Macfadden's Fiction-Lover's Magazine.

Publication history
Metropolitan Magazine began in 1895 as a "naughty picture magazine selling sex sationalism" in its earliest issues. In 1897 the Metropolitan featured suggestive photos of Nellie Melba the opera singer and of Yvette Guilbert reclined in her boudoir, which was very risque for the time. John Brisben Walker was its first editor and publisher.
In 1898, the magazine built a more sophisticated reputation as a magazine for theater-goers in New York featuring writings by Kipling and Conrad.
In 1902, the magazine was sold along with The Daily Telegraph for $100,000 to Col. George Harvey, president of the publishing company Harper & Brothers. Harvey said that "in purchasing The Metropolitan I bought simply a name", and that the chief mission of the periodical should be urban life in New York. He named John Kendrick Bangs the new editor. Harry Payne Whitney was owner of the magazine for a time during the 1910s.

The Mexican Revolution and World War I
During the Mexican Revolution, initiated late in 1910, Metropolitan sent John Reed to Mexico to report. The journalist met Pancho Villa and stayed with his troops for four months. Reed was sent to Europe as a war correspondent during World War I. However, some of his articles were rejected as having leftist sympathies.

During the 1914 to 1918 war, Metropolitan frequently contained articles critical of United States President Woodrow Wilson. In 1918 the New York postmaster was told to be on his guard for issues commenting on Wilson's foreign policy. There were rumors that the post office was considering revoking the publication's second class mail privileges, but its issues continued to be delivered.

Former President Theodore Roosevelt had become an editor of the magazine in 1914 for $25,000 a year, on a three-year contract because he intended to retire from politics and writing.

In the event, however, Roosevelt himself wrote many essays criticizing Wilson for his handling of the war. He argued passionately against the neutrality of the United States, writing, "We earn as a nation measureless scorn and contempt if we follow the lead of those who exalt peace over righteousness, if we heed the voice of those feeble folk who bleat to high Heaven for peace when there is no peace." Roosevelt worked on editorial articles for Metropolitan until his death in January 1919. His last action was to write a letter to his son Theodore Jr. with the proofs for his last article in the magazine.

In 1919 Metropolitan launched the Metropolitan Newspaper Service (MNS), which a syndicated content from the magazine including the column Fairchild Fashions, the writings of Margot Asquith, the comic strip Dickey's Dogs, and more. In the spring of 1920, MNS was acquired by the Bell Syndicate, which kept it as a separate division. It was overseen by Maximilian Elser Jr.

Decline
Bernarr Macfadden bought Metropolitan Magazine in January 1923 on the urging of his Supervising Editor Fulton Oursler, and launched its new era with an abridged serialization of Theodore Dreiser's banned novel The Genius. The first Macfadden issue was dated February–March 1923 but it continued as a monthly. Fulton Oursler's first serious novels, Behold This Dreamer! and Sandalwood were also serialized. When the magazine's fortunes didn't improve, the title was changed to Macfadden Fiction-Lovers Magazine with the October 1924 issue. Its last issue was August 1925.

The Productions of Time is a science fiction novel by English writer John Brunner, first published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in 1966. It appeared in book form the following year, published by Signet Books.

Plot summary

The plot follows actor Murray Douglas as he joins a theatre production with a group of other actors. Each of the cast members has had career problems because of drugs, alcohol, or other kinks. The play is an avant-garde one, a form of improv where the actors make up the script during rehearsal, and rehearsals take place in an isolated country house. It emerges that the alleged playwright is feeding each participant's vices, using a futuristic form of sleep learning to overcome their attempts to stay "clean". This is being done to benefit the prurient interests of decadent time travellers.

Robert Louis Salkowitz (born April 28, 1967, Philadelphia, PA) is an author, educator and consultant whose work focuses on the social and business impact of technology innovation. He is the author/co-author of four books and has written extensively for business publications including Fast Company, Forbes, Entrepreneur and others on topics including generational change in the workplace, the impact of tech entrepreneurship in emerging economies, and the future of media and entertainment.

Generation Blend
Salkowitz’s first book, Generation Blend: Managing Across the Technology Age Gap, was published in 2008 by John Wiley and Sons. It looked at ways that different generational cohorts – Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials – learn and use information technology in the workplace. According to one reviewer, the book “presents, for the first time as far as I can tell, comprehensive and objective (though somewhat unsystematic) analyses of why each generation is the way it claims to be (to the extent that it is that way), and how those attitudes translate to work behaviors.”

Referencing a wide range of data sources covering demographics, technology adoption rates, workplace sociology and the lessons of Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) around the learning styles of older adults, Generation Blend sought to offer organizations guidance on how to attract, retain, motivate and empower workers of all generations in a business environment of technology-mediated collaboration, instant communication, and transparency.

Young World Rising
Young World Rising: How Youth, Technology and Entrepreneurship are Changing the World from the Bottom Up (Wiley, 2010) examined the impact of startups employing new information technologies such as cloud computing and mobile devices in emerging economies in Latin America, Asia and Africa.

Salkowitz profiled twelve entrepreneurial organizations of various types, from shoestring startups to non-profits to successful enterprises, observing how these businesses successfully created social and economic value in resource-poor environments. Some of the organizations and individuals profiled include Suhas Gopinath (Globals, Inc.), Bright Simons (mPedigree), Ory Okolloh and Erik Hersman (Ushahidi), the founders of Globant, executives at Infosys, and Herman Chinery-Hesse.

In the book, Salkowitz “analyzes and highlights several case studies that shed light on how a nexus of youth, technology and entrepreneurship are changing development processes throughout the globe”  and identified key principles of entrepreneurial success in emerging markets and lessons that startups in developed countries could learn from these next-generation businesses.

Through 2010-2012, Salkowitz wrote and spoke extensively on the themes of Young World Rising. He later offered a collection of interviews and supplementary materials as an ebook called Young World Shining.

Comic Con and the Business of Pop Culture
Salkowitz’s best-known work, Comic Con and the Business of Pop Culture: What the World’s Wildest Trade Show Can Tell Us About the Future of Entertainment, came out June 2012 from McGraw-Hill. The book used Salkowitz’s experiences at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con International as a template for discussing trends in marketing, entertainment, media, publishing and other businesses.

In the book, he forecast a number of developments in the comics and entertainment industry, including the rise of digital comics distribution as a significant market force, the increasing emphasis on transmedia story universes as a dominant mode of commercial storytelling, and the mainstreaming of fan culture and fan conventions. Salkowitz coined the term “Peak Geek” to describe the moment when previously niche nerd interests like superheroes, video games and fantasy fully saturate popular culture.

In May, 2012, Salkowitz delivered a talk at TEDx Fort Wayne entitled “Transmedia in the Hour of the Nerd.” Since the book’s publication, he has written, spoken and appeared extensively in the media to discuss the rise of comic culture and conventions.

Other work
Salkowitz was a founding partner in the Seattle-based marketing firm MediaPlant from 1999-2016, and has worked as a strategic consultant for companies including HP and Microsoft. From 2003-2007, he participated in a strategic planning process that resulted in Microsoft’s vision of the “New World of Work.” That project and the scenario planning methodology that the team employed is explored in Listening to the Future (Wiley, 2009), which Salkowitz co-authored with Daniel W. Rasmus. Since 2016, he has maintained his own consulting practice, RS Associates, Inc.

With Brian O'Roark, University Professor of Economics at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh,  Salkowitz co-edited and contributed to Superheroes and Economics: The Shadowy World of Capes, Cowls, and Invisible Hands, published by Routledge as part of their Popular Culture Series in 2018.

Salkowitz has written for many publications including Forbes and Fast Company. He is credited with being the first to forecast the rise of the anti-diversity backlash "Comicsgate" movement in a story published in ICv2 in November, 2014. In 2015, he conducted an important survey of the fan event industry for Eventbrite that estimated the economic impact of comic and gaming conventions at more than $4 billion worldwide.

He also wrote the scenario for the videogame Spider, by Boss Game Studios, in 1996.

He has served on the faculty of the University of Washington Communication Leadership graduate program since 2011 and is a coach/mentor for startups in the UW Foster School of Business Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship.

Personal
Salkowitz, who goes by “Rob,” holds a BA  in political science/International Relations from Columbia University (1989) and graduated from William Penn Charter School (1985). He and his wife Eunice Verstegen live and work in Seattle, Washington. In his free time, he enjoys writing Wikipedia articles about himself.

The Bishop House in Casper, Wyoming was built in 1907.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.

Description
The Bishop House is a -story foursquare house in Casper, Wyoming. It was built in 1907 in the Colonial Revival style and features a widow's walk. The home's red exterior bricks were shipped from Denver. A full porch, supported by four Tuscan columns, extends across the front of the house.

History
The Bishop House was the first multi-storied brick home in Casper, Wyoming. Built in the city's Capitol Hill addition, the home was constructed for Marvin Lord Bishop, Sr., and was based on his childhood home in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Its architect was Elias N. Miller of Denver, and its builder was William T. Evans, for whom Evansville, Wyoming is named.

After M. L. Bishop died in 1939, his wife, Leona, continued to live in the residence until her death in 1948. Their youngest daughter, Lucile L. Bishop, lived in the Bishop House from 1908 to her death in 1997. In 2001, the structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The home is now owned by the Cadoma Foundation and used for community events.

As of 2018, the Dallas Cowboys' flagship radio station is KRLD-FM owned by Entercom.

Brad Sham is the team's longtime play-by-play voice. Working alongside him is former Cowboy quarterback Babe Laufenberg. The Cowboys, who retain rights to all announcers, chose not to renew Laufenberg's contract in 2006 and brought in former safety Charlie Waters. However, Laufenberg did work as the analyst on the "Blue Star Network," which televises Cowboys preseason games not shown on national networks. The anchor station is KTVT, the CBS owned and operated station in Dallas. Previous stations which aired Cowboys games included KTCK (AM), KVIL-FM, KRLD, and KLUV. Kristi Scales is the sideline reporter on the radio broadcasts.

During his tenure as Cowboys coach, Tom Landry co-hosted his own coach's show with late veteran sportscaster Frank Glieber and later with Brad Sham. Landry's show was famous for his analysis of raw game footage and for he and his co-host making their NFL "predictions" at the end of each show. Glieber is one of the original voices of the Cowboys Radio Network, along with Bill Mercer, famous for calling the Ice Bowl of 1967 and both Super Bowl V and VI. Mercer is perhaps best known as the ringside commentator of World Class Championship Wrestling in the 1980s. Upon Mercer's departure, Verne Lundquist joined the network, and became their play-by-play announcer by 1977, serving eight years in that capacity before handing those chores permanently over to Brad Sham, who joined the network in 1977 as the color analyst and occasional fill-in for Lundquist.

Longtime WFAA-TV sports anchor Dale Hansen was the Cowboys' color analyst with Brad Sham as the play-by-play announcer from 1985-94. Dave Garrett succeeded Sham on play-by-play in 1995, teaming with Hansen (1995–96), Laufenberg (1996–97), and Mike Doocy (1997). Sham returned as the team's play-by-play voice in 1998.

In 1984 and 2001, the Cowboys used guest analysts in the radio booth for each game. In 1984, Dale Hansen, Charlie Waters, Roger Staubach, Cliff Harris, Verne Lundquist, Drew Pearson, Frank Glieber, and Bob Lilly were guest analysts. In 2001, guest analysts included Charlie Waters, Irving Fryar, Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, Dan Rather, Michael Irvin, Preston Pearson, John Madden, Pat Summerall, and Dale Hansen.

Janet Fragoso Alonso (born January 14, 1973) is a Mexican professional wrestler, known by her ringname Miss Janeth, who is a longtime ruda for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración. She has also competed in the Universal Wrestling Association and won the UWA World Women's Championship following its revival in 2001. Fragoso is the younger sister of luchadora Zuleyma

Career
Fragoso's career with the promotion stretches back to the early 1990s, her first major victory in the promotion being a "hair vs. hair" match against Migala in 1996, however she remained at a mid-card level for much of her time in the AAA's women's division. Another highlight in her early career occurred two years later when she and Alda Moreno beat Rosy Moreno and Xóchitl Hamada in a "hair vs. hair" match at Verano de Escandalo (1998) when Janeth pinned Rosy Moreno.

The next year, Janeth entered Reina de Reina 1999 and in the opening rounds defeated Lady Discovery, Princess Sujei and Migala in a "four-way" elimination match. In the finals, she lost to Xochitl Hamada in a similar match which included Esther and Rosy Moreno. Her appearance at Verano de Escandalo (1999) saw her team with rivals Rosy Moreno and Xochitl Hamada to beat Cinthia, Alda & Esther Moreno. Another trios match with Tiffany and Rosy Moreno at Guerra de Titanes 1999 resulted in a loss to Faby Apache, Alda & Cinthia Moreno.

She entered the Reina de Reina 2000 defeating Alda Moreno in the opening rounds but lost to Martha Villalobos in the semi-finals. At Verano de Escandalo (2000), she teamed with Aja Kong and Tiffany in a trios tag team match who lost to Alda Moreno, Lady Apache and Ayako Hamada on September 29, 2000. On September 7, 2001, she won the revived UWA World Women's Championship in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The title had last been won by her sister ten years before. She briefly lost the title to Ayako Hamada on March 8, 2002, but regained it later that year. Janeth also participated in the Reina de Reinas 2001 and 2002 tournaments making it to the finals in both events.

Janeth finally got her moment in the spotlight by winning the Reina de Reinas 2006 tournament defeating Martha Villalobos, Cynthia Moreno and La Diabólica in the four-way elimination finals. The next month at Rey de Reyes (2006), she teamed with Lola Gonzales, Cinthia Moreno and Martha Villalobos in an 8-woman tag team match against Chikayo Nagashima, La Diabolica, Tiffany and Carlos Amano, but lost the match when her team was disqualified. After this point, she and the other luchadoras were gradually phased out with the promotion focusing on the Apache family storyline. In early 2007, Janeth formed a team with Tiffany and Rossy Moreno known as Las Brujas, but the group was short-lived and disappeared from AAA after only a few episodes. She made her last AAA appearance that year reaching the tournament finals at the Reina de Reinas 2007 on March 25, and is unclear whether she has left the company or is just on hiatus for personal reasons.

Brian Lowe (born 25 June 1939) is a former Australian rules footballer who played in Tasmania and Victoria from the late 1950s until the early 1970s. He was inducted into the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame in 2005.

Lowe, a ruckman, played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the early 1960s while Bob Davis was coach and were starting to develop into a strong side. A member of Geelong's 1961 'night premiership' team, Lowe played in the drawn 1962 VFL Preliminary Final against Carlton as well as the narrow loss in the replay the following weekend. Geelong again made the finals again in 1963 but Lowe, despite participating in their semi-final defeat of Hawthorn Football Club which booked a place in the Grand Final, was not selected in the premiership decider, which they won.

Upon leaving Geelong, Lowe become captain/coach of Tasmanian club Cooee and represented the state, as vice-captain, in the 1966 Hobart Carnival. His original club, City-South, placed him in the back pocket of their official 'Team of the Century'.

Robert H. Scanlan (1914-2001) was an American civil and aeronautical engineer who came to be widely recognized as a leader in the analysis of wind effects on large structures. Scanlan created the concept of flutter derivatives to aid in the representation of self-excited forces in theoretical models. His research in the area of bridge aerodynamics made possible the construction of larger, sturdier, and more cost-effective bridges. Scanlan worked in both industry and academia, and his employers included Republic Aviation, the Federal Aviation Administration, the French agencies CNRS and ONERA, Schlumberger, the Case Institute of Technology, Princeton University, and Johns Hopkins University. In the course of his life, Scanlan published two textbooks, "Aircraft Vibration and Flutter" and "Wind Effects on Large Structures," which are used by engineers worldwide.

Early career
Robert Scanlan was born in Chicago in 1914. He attended the University of Chicago, where he completed a bachelor's and a master's degree in mathematics. The next step in his education was to attend MIT, where he earned a doctorate in mathematics and physics. He was hired as an aeronautical engineer for Republic Aviation in New York, where he served as Chief of Aeroelasticity during World War Two. Following his wartime work, Scanlan was employed by the Federal Aviation Administration, and later became a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. During this time, his energy was devoted to research in aeronautics and aeroelasticity, and he published "Aircraft Vibration and Flutter," which is considered to be a fundamental textbook on concepts in elasticity.

Scanlan eventually travelled to France, where he studied at the Sorbonne, completing a doctoral degree in mechanics. While in France, he was employed at CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research) and ONERA (French National Aerospace Research Center).

Later career
After his time in France, Scanlan came back to the U.S. and accepted a job at Schlumberger, a leading oilfield services provider, and later became a member of the faculty at the Case Institute of Technology and Princeton University. Finally, in 1984 he joined the Department of Civil Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, where he stayed until his death. While at the latter two universities, Scanlan began to focus on what became known as wind engineering, and the rest of his career centered on this field. He began working on analyzing the aerodynamics and aeroelasticity of extensive structures like skyscrapers, bridges, and cooling towers. Along with former student Emil Simiu, Scanlan co-authored the book "Wind Effects on Structures," which is considered to be an essential reference concerning the dynamics of structures in response to air currents.

Robert Scanlan died at the age of 86 on May 27, 2001, in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. His death was attributed to heart failure.

Contributions to Bridge Aerodynamics
Some of Robert Scanlan's most important contributions in the field of engineering were in the area of bridge aerodynamics. These included the introduction of flutter derivatives, which became widely used to analyze the aeroelasticity of bridges under wind loading, advances in the analysis of vortex-induced vibrations, and buffeting of incomplete bridges experiencing yawed wind. During his lifetime, Scanlan served as the main aerodynamic consultant for the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Kap Shui Mun Bridge in Hong Kong.

Awards, honors, and memberships
Scanlan was a well-respected engineer and was awarded many honors during his life. These included the James Croes Medal, the Nathan Newmark Medal, the von Karmen Medal, and the Wellington Prize of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Scanlan was active in the ASCE, of which he was an honorary member, and his other affiliations included the American Academy of Mechanics and the National Academy of Engineering. As a faculty member at Johns Hopkins University, Scanlan was given the title of Homewood Professor, an honor awarded to distinguished members of the faculty who are not tenured. Following his death, the ASCE established the Robert H. Scanlan Medal, which is awarded annually to a person who has made significant contributions in the field of engineering mechanics.

Family
At the time of his death in 2001, Scanlan's family included his wife Elizabeth, his daughters Kate and Jean, his sons Robert and Glenn, eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

Triplemanía I (Referred to as just "Triplemanía" the first year) was the first ever Triplemanía lucha libre, or professional wrestling show promoted by Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). The show took place on April 30, 1993 in Mexico City, Mexico's Plaza de Toros bullfighting arena. The Main event featured a "Retirement" match between Konnan and Cien Caras, where the storyline was that the person that lost would have to retire from professional wrestling. The match was billed as the first time such a stipulation had ever been used in Lucha Libre, while it was rare, retirement matches had happened in Mexico before that time. The semi-main event featured the zenith of the storyline feud between Perro Aguayo and Máscara Año 2000 as the two fought in a Lucha de Apuestas, or bet match, where Aguayo put his hair on the line and Máscara Año 2000 bet his wrestling mask on the outcome of the match.

The show was the first major show for AAA, taking place just short of a year after Antonio Peña and a number of wrestlers broke away from Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) to establish AAA. With time the annual Triplemanía show(s) would become AAA's biggest show of the year, serving as the culmination of major storylines and feature wrestlers from all over the world competing in what has been described as AAA's version of WrestleMania or their Super Bowl event.

Production

Background
In early 1992 Antonio Peña was working as a booker and storyline writer for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Mexico's largest and the world's oldest wrestling promotion, and was frustrated by CMLL's very conservative approach to lucha libre. He joined forced with a number of younger, very talented wrestlers who felt like CMLL was not giving them recognition they deserved and decided to split from CMLL to create Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). After making a deal with the Televisa television network AAA held their first show in April, 1992. Peña's ideas included playing up the show aspects of wrestling, elaborate entrances, fireworks and shows that would rival those put on by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), particularly their WrestleMania shows. Originally he wanted to hold three shows of that caliber close together, which combined with the nickname for AAA, Triple A, led to him creating the Triplemanía concept. In 1993 they only put on one Triplemanía show but in subsequent years Peña's vision for multiple Triplemanías would come true.

Peña and the AAA management staff booked the Plaza de Toros bullfighting arena for the first Triplemanía event, which was considered a huge financial gamble for a promotion that was not even one year old. The arena could normally accommodate 41,262 spectators for bullfighting, but with additional seats on the actual floor of the arena around the ring the capacity grew to over 48,000.

Storylines

The Triplemanía I event featured eight professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

To help make the show a success Peña relied greatly on the rivalry between Konnan and Cien Caras to sell tickets. Konnan and Cien Carasa had been rivals back when both were in CMLL, in fact Konnan had defeated Cien Caras in a tournament final to become the first CMLL World Heavyweight Champion and Caras had later won the title from Konnan, holding the title when they both jumped from CMLL to AAA. The two had previously wrestled each other in the main event of the EMLL 58th Anniversary Show and the rivalry was a natural one between the charismatic tecnico Konnan and the cheating rudo Cien Caras, especially when he brought his brothers Universo 2000 and Máscara Año 2000 to help him gain an unfair advantage during matches. With his growing popularity Konnan was offered several roles on TV and had hopes of pursuing an acting career, which led to Peña and Konnan devising the idea of a "retirement match" stipulation for the Triplemanía main event. It was billed as if it was the first time ever such a stipulation had been used in Mexico, which was more a work of marketing than fact but was a stipulation that helped sell out the Plaza del Toros stadium.

Event

The under-card matches were all held under "single fall" rules and not the traditional best two-out-of-three falls rule that most lucha libre matches used at that point. That stipulation was saved for the championship match, the Apuesta match and the main event. Prior to the show opening Televisa commentator Arturo Rivéra showed shots from outside the Plaza del Toros where people were being turned away as the bullfighting arena was at maximum capacity. Besides the paid attendance in La Plaza del Toros an estimated 6,000 fans watched the show from the arena's parkinglot where AAA had erected giant screen televisions to accommodate the additional fan interest.

For the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship match between Lizmark and La Parka Lizmark had Volador in his corner, who was the uncle of La Parka. La Parka had Solomon Grundy in his corner for the match. The title match originally ended in a 15-minute time limit draw without either wrestler even winning a single fall. Both Lizmark and La Parka requested five more minutes, which was approved by a representative of the Mexico City boxing and wrestling Commission. During the final five minutes Lizmark is able to pin La Parka and retain the championship. The mixed Trios match that pitted Máscara Sagrada, Love Machine, and Mascarita Sagrada against Jerry Estrada, Blue Panther, and Jerrito Estrada was broken down into the two main storylines; Love Machine/Blue Panther and the Sagradas against the Estradas for most of the match. In a call back to the Luchas de Apuestas match between Blue Panther and Love Machine the previous year Panther used a Kneeling reverse piledriver, a move that according to lucha libre traditions is outlawed and led to Pather's disqualification. To underscore the "lethal" nature of the move Love Machine was checked on by ringside physicians and removed from the ring on a stretcher.

During the main event cameras panned to the front row where former World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) wrestler Jake "The Snake" Roberts was seated, with the storyline explanation being that he bought a ticket to the show and was supposedly just there as a fan. During the first fall of the match Roberts kept distracting Konnan, yelling loudly and reaching out towards him as he passed by on the outside of the ring. After losing the first fall to Cien Caras Konnan got into a fight with Roberts at ringside, diverting his attention from the referee's count and failed to get back in the ring before he was counted out. Due to the count out Konnan was forced to retire and Jake Roberts immediately became one of the most hated rudo wrestlers in AAA by the end of the show.

In 2016 La Parka (second version) revealed that he was one of the wrestlers who worked the security detail for the first show.

Aftermath

Konnan took time off from wrestling to pursue his acting career, but it did not turn out as he had expected and Konnan returned to AAA four months later. Peña and AAA used the controversial finish to the match as a storyline to explain that Konnan had petitioned the Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling Commission to reinstate his wrestling license and allow him to return. He returned to AAA and immediately continued his feud with Cien Caras as well as continue the storyline with Jake Roberts, facing and defeating both of them at AAA's La Revencha show on August 28, 1993. The storyline would expand and pit Konnan against Robers as well as his newfound allies Eddy Guerrero and Love Machine, better known as La Pareja del Terror ("The Terror Team") while Konnan had back up in the form of Blue Panther and Perro Aguayo. Roberts and La Pareja del Terror defeated Konnan, Aguayo and Blue Panther in the main event of La Lucha del Honor in the Los Angeles Sports Arena. The storyline with Jake Robers culminated a year after it started at Triplemanía II-C, as Konnan defeated Jake Roberts in a Luchas de Apuestas match, forcing Roberts to be shaved bald.

The storyline between Blue Panther and Love Machine continued past Triplemanía, with the two facing off in another Luchas de Apuestas match two months after Triplemanía. During the match the previously tecnico Love Machine began to act more and more like one of the bad guys, berating his opponent during the match, pulling Panther's shoulders off the mat during pinfalls etc. In the end he intentionally and in full view of the referee Love Machine used the piledriver move on Blue Panther, drawing both the disqualification and disapproving boos from the crowd. While he was shaved bald as a result Love Machine did not seem to care, celebrating that he hurt Blue Panther. With one match AAA flipped the roles of Love Machine and Blue Panther, turning Panther tecnico out of sympathy and making Love Machine an arrogan anti-Mexican rudo. In a subsequent match where Love Machine and a partner wrestled La Pareja Atomica ("The Atomic Team") of El Hijo del Santo and Eddy Guerrero, Love Machine stole El Hijo del Santo's mask, put it on and then attacked Guerrero pretending to be El Hijo del Santo. Moments later he returned the mask to El Hijo del Santo and ducked out of the ring as Guerrero came to. At this point Guerrero attacked his own partner, leaving with Love Machine after the match. Together Guerrero and Love Machine would become known as La Pareja del Terror ("The Terror Team") and formed the basis of a group known as Los Gringos Locos that became the most hated  rudo team, not just in AAA but in all of Mexico at the time.

Reception
John Molinario, who writes about wrestling for the Canadian Online Explorer, stated that the first Triplemanía show demonstrated that AAA "had arrived and they weren't going anywhere." He also stated that it was a "stellar card" and set the standard for lucha libre from that point on. Wrestling commentator and lucha libre expert Mike Tenay noted that  "To be able to take the lion's share of the market like that so immediately sort of put AAA as a promotion on the map. Pena's own marketing plan for Mexican wrestling was so revolutionary he was on top for that era. With a promotion that was less than a year old he did a tremendous job of creating stars."

In 2003 6AR moved to the FM band and broadcast from 100.9 MHz. Shortly after the move to FM the station rebranded as a country music station with less focus on Aboriginal culture.

Cancellation of licence
In May 2006 the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) conducted an investigation into 6AR and found that the station had breached their licence conditions. ACMA found that between August 2003 and April 2005 conditions relating to providing Aboriginal programming were not met.

In September 2006 6AR ceased broadcasting and the Office of the Registrar of Aboriginal Corporations began proceedings to wind up WAAMA. The Australian newspaper raised the issue of the October 2005 transfer of the station's premises to a private company and the subsequent lease back to WAAMA.

In November 2006 ACMA cancelled 6AR's licence for failing to comply with licence conditions added as a result of the May 2006 findings.

ACMA in January 2008 allocated the vacant 100.9 FM frequency to a group led by Peedac Pty Ltd who proposed a replacement Aboriginal radio service for Perth, 6NME.

"Headshot" is a song by American rappers Lil Tjay, Polo G, and Fivio Foreign. It was released through Columbia and Sony as the fifth single from the former's second studio album, Destined 2 Win, on March 19, 2021. The artists wrote the song alongside its producers, TNTXD, Tahj Money, Dmac, 101Slide, Bordeaux, and Non Native.

Background and composition
The trap-infused "sinister song" shows the three artists warning others that "any attempt to attack them will not only fail but be met with swift retaliation".

It serves as the first collaboration between all three rappers on the same song together. However, the three drill artists have collaborated with each other individually. "Headshot" serves as the third collaboration between Lil Tjay and Polo G, following Polo's 2019 single "Pop Out" and their joint single "First Place", which was released in 2020. It goes on to mark Tjay and Fivio's fourth collaboration that follows three collaborations in 2020: their joint track "Ambition" and Tjay's two back-to-back tracks "Zoo York" and "Shoot for the Stars", the former of which also features late American rapper Pop Smoke. The song is the second collaboration from Polo G and Fivio Foreign, following their joint 2020 single "Bop It".

Release and promotion
All three artists announced the song and its complete details (cover art and release date) on their respective social media accounts on March 15, 2021.

Music video
After a few days of teasing, the official music video for the song premiered on Lil Tjay's YouTube channel on March 22, 2021. The three artists repeatedly shoot apples off a man's head with guns, somehow killing him at the end, and also race remote-control boats. It takes place in a courtyard outside a mansion. At the end of the Video, Lil Tjay is seen feeding a giraffe, while the then unreleased song "Run It Up" from Destined 2 Win is played.

Triplemanía II-A was a major lucha libre, or professional wrestling event Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) that took place at the Aguascalientes baseball stadium on April 26, 1994. The show was the first of three Triplemanía II shows held in 1994 with two subsequent shows held in May. 1994 was the first year AAA held multiple Triplemanía shows in a year, a tradition they would continue through 1997, after which Triplemanía became a single annual event. The annual Triplemanía show(s) are AAA's biggest show of the year, serving as the culmination of major storylines and feature wrestlers from all over the world competing in what has been described as AAA's version of WrestleMania or their Super Bowl event.

In the main event of the first Triplemanía II show was a Lucha de Apuestas, or bet match, where both Heavy Metal and Jerry Estrada "bet" their hair on the outcome of the match. The main event originally ended in a disqualification loss for Heavy Metal, which seemed like he was going to be shaved bald. Moments later AAA owner and booker Antonio Peña came to ringside and restarted the match, with Heavy Metal winning the match and the hair of Jerry Estrada. On the under-card the team known as Los Payasos (Spanish for "The Clowns"; Coco Rojo, Coco Verde and Coco Amarillo) defeated Los Hermanos Dinamita (Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000 and Universo 2000) to win the Mexican National Trios Championship. The show featured six additional matches with AAA wrestlers as well as the Japanese Tiger Mask III from New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

Production

Background
AAA founder Antonio Peña had originally envisioned the Triplemanía series as three shows held over the summer, but for the first year AAA only held 1 show, Triplemanía I. In 1994 AAA announced that they would hold three Triplemanía shows, building the storylines into its climax at the third and final Triplemanía II show. The first Triplemanía II show would take place in the outdoor baseball stadium in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes on April 26, the second show, Triplemanía II-B, would be at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez in Zapopan, Jalisco on May 15 and the third and final Triplemanía II show, Triplemanía II-C,  would happen at the El Toro bullfighting arena in Tijuana, Baja California on May 27, 1994. Peña decided that Konnan and Jake Roberts, who were slated to main event Triplemanía II-C would not face off at Triplemanía II-A, making it more special when they actually fought on the later Triplemanía shows.

Storylines

The Triplemanía show featured eight professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Event
During the fifth match of the night cameras showed wrestlers Miguel Pérez, Jr. and Chicano Power in the crowd, holding up a Puerto Rican flag while heckling Konnan. At one point during the match Konnan's partner Máscara Sagrada had to prevent him from jumping into the crowd to go after the two heckling wrestlers.

Aftermath
AAA's main storyline post Triplemanía II-A and for more or less the entire year that followed was Los Gringos Locos and their storyline war with all of AAA. The next chapter came at Triplemanía II-B where Black Cat was unmasked after losing a Lucha de Apuestas to Máscara Sagrada. The main event of Triplemanía II-B saw Miguel Pérez Jr. debut as part of Los Gringos Locos, following up on his appearance in the crowd during Triplemanía II-A. Pérez, Roberts and Love Machine would lose to Konnan, Aguayo and Cien Caras. That match served as a preview to Triplemanía II-C's main event between Konnan and Jake Roberts where Konnan finally ended the storyline with Roberts that had started a year earlier. The Los Gringos Locos storyline carried AAA into their subsequent major shows "Night of Champions" and later on their first ever pay-per-view (PPV) AAA When Worlds Collide that was driven by the feud between a Pareja del Terror (Eddy Guerrero and Love Machine) facing off against El Hijo del Santo and Octagón in a Luchas de Apuestas match where Guerrero and Love Machine ended up losing their hair. 19 days afterwards Love Machine, real name Art Barr, dies of unknown causes. The popularity of Konnan in the wake of his victory over Jake Robers made his turn to the rudo side months later ever more shocking, with Konnan attacking his longtime friend Perro Aguayo during a match and joining Los Gringos Locos instead. As When Worlds Collide Aguayo defeated Konnan in a steel cage match.

Los Payasos winning the Mexican National Trios Championship would be one of the last victories in the trios' "Undefeated Streak" Los Payasos lost the Mexican National Trios Championship to the team of Ángel Azteca, El Hijo del Santo and Super Muñeco on May 22, 1994. Los Payasos and Los Hermanos Dinamita in what became a non-title rematch at Triplemanía II-C which tool place inside a steel cage match. At the show Los Hermanos Dinamita were able to hand Los Payasos their second loss ever.

NJPW representative Tiger Mask III also competed at the next Triplemanía II show, teaming with fellow NJPW representative Jushin Thunder Liger and AAA representatives El Hijo del Santo and Octagón, defeating the team of La Parka, Psicosis, Blue Panther, and Eddy Guerrero at Triplemanía II-B Afterwards Tiger Mask II and Jushin Thunder Liger returned to Japan but AAA and NJPW would work together repeatedly over the years until NJPW began partnering with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in Mexico. At that point AAA began working with Pro Wrestling Noah and has toured Japan on more than one occasion.

Reception
John Molinario, who writes about wrestling for the Canadian Online Explorer, wrote that the main event Lucha de Apuestas match was considered the best match on the show and stated that "Fans and critics were blown away by the show, thinking that there was no way the remaining two shows could possibly match its quality".

The show was the second of three Triplemanía II shows held in 1994, preceded by Triplemanía II-A, with a subsequent show held in 12 days later. 1994 was the first year AAA held multiple Triplemanía shows in a year, a tradition they would continue through 1997, after which Triplemanía became a single annual event.

The fifth match of the night featured wrestlers who had worked primarily for the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) until that point, Shu el Guerrero, Scorpio, Jr., and Gran Hamada, fighting AAA representatives Los Payasos ("The Clowns"; Coco Rojo, Coco Verde and Coco Amarillo)

Production

Background
AAA founder Antonio Peña had originally envisioned the Triplemanía series as three shows held over the summer, but for the first year AAA only held 1 show, Triplemanía I.

Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Aftermath
The show was a direct build to Triplemanía II-C held only 12 days later in Tijuana, Baja California. Triplemanía II-C saw Konnan finally gain revenge on Jake Roberts as he defeated Roberts in two straight falls to force him to be shaved bald after the match. Most of AAA's roster, both tecnicos and rudos, came to the ring after the match to show their unity and to ensure Roberts had his hair shaved off. Roberts would remain with AAA for several months after the show but was not involved in any major storylines after the loss to Konnan. The Los Gringos Locos storyline carried AAA into their subsequent major shows "Night of Champions" and later on their first ever pay-per-view (PPV) AAA When Worlds Collide that was driven by the feud between a Pareja del Terror (Eddy Guerrero and Love Machine) facing off against El Hijo del Santo and Octagón in a Luchas de Apuestas match where Guerrero and Love Machine ended up losing their hair. 19 days afterwards Love Machine, real name Art Barr, dies of unknown causes. The popularity of Konnan in the wake of his victory over Jake Robers made his turn to the rudo side months later ever more shocking, with Konnan attacking his longtime friend Perro Aguayo during a match and joining Los Gringos Locos instead. At "When Worlds Collide" Aguayo defeated Konnan in a steel cage match.

A few days after the show the then-Mexican National Middleweight Champion was involved in a car accident where he injured his hand. Due to the injury the local boxing and wrestling commission could not give him medical clearance to wrestle against Blue Panther at Triplemanía II-C, causing him to forfeit the championship to Blue Panther.

Reception
John Molinario, who writes about wrestling for the Canadian Online Explorer, described the show as "possibly the best TripleMania show ever." and stated that it was "from top to bottom a sensational show". Wrestling Observer Newsletter founder and editor Dave Meltzer commented that the "show was awesome. It was among the greatest shows I probably ever saw" after witnessing the show live and in person. Meltzer rated the "Atómicos" tag team match at four-and-a-half star, the lucha de apuestas match at four-and-three-quarters stars, while giving the main event six-man tag team match four stars.

Triplemanía II-C was a major lucha libre, or professional wrestling event Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) that took place at the El Toreo bullfighting arena in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico on May 27, 1994. The show was the final of three Triplemanía II shows held in 1994, preceded by Triplemanía II-A in April and Triplemanía II-B held 12 days prior. 1994 was the first year AAA held multiple Triplemanía shows in a year, a tradition they would continue through 1997, after which Triplemanía became a single annual event. The annual Triplemanía show(s) are AAA's biggest show of the year, serving as the culmination of major storylines and feature wrestlers from all over the world competing in what has been described as AAA's version of WrestleMania or their Super Bowl event. The May 27th show was the fourth overall show produced under the Triplemanía banner.

The main event match was the culmination of a storyline that AAA had been building for a year, starting at the previous year's Triplemanía I show. Portraying the archetypes of "good" and "evil' AAA had created a storyline where the "hero" Konnan sought revenge against the "villain" Jake "The Snake" Roberts. The two faced off in a Lucha de Apuestas, or bet match, which is considered the ultimate "feud settler" in Lucha Libre. For the match both competitors bet their hair on the outcome of the match, with the loser being subjected to the humiliation of being shaved bald in the center of the ring.  The show also featured a steel cage match between Los Hermanos Dinamita (Spanish for "The Dynamite Brothers"; Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000 and Universo 2000) fighting Los Payasos ("The Clowns"; Coco Rojo, Coco Verde and Coco Amarillo) in a rematch from Triplemanía II-A where Los Payasos won the Mexican National Trios Championship from Los Hermanos Dinamita. The show was also supposed to feature a match for the Mexican National Middleweight Championship but the reigning champion Octagón was not medically cleared to wrestle.

Production

Background
AAA founder Antonio Peña had originally envisioned the Triplemanía series as three shows held over the summer, but for the first year AAA only held 1 show, Triplemanía I. In 1994 AAA announced that they would hold three Triplemanía shows, building the storylines into its climax at the third and final Triplemanía II show. The first show, Triplemanía II-A , took place in the outdoor baseball stadium in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes on April 26, the second show, Triplemanía II-B, was held at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez in Zapopan, Jalisco on May 15 and the third and final Triplemanía II show, Triplemanía II-C,  would happen at the El Toro bullfighting arena in Tijuana, Baja California on May 27, 1994.

Storylines
The Triplemanía show featured eight professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

The main event match would be the conclusion of the main storyline of AAA at the time as Peña and the AAA officials had spent over a year laying out the storyline between Konnan and Jake "the Snake" Roberts. The foundation of the story began a year prior to Triplemanía II-C, at the first ever Triplemanía I, held on April 30, 1993. To start the storyline Roberts was given a spot in the front row, presented as if he had bought a ticket on his own and was just there to watch the show. The main event was a "Retirement match" between Konnan and Cien Caras where the loser would be forced to retire, which saw Jake Roberts become involved in the match, arguing with Konnan during the second fall and actually distracted him enough to get counted out. With the loss Konnan was forced to retire and due to his actions Roberts became the top rudo of AAA as he was seen as directly responsible for the popular Konnan being forced to retire. For several months AAA booked Roberts in only special appearances, not actually wrestling but making appearances to remind people of what he did to Konnan. After about four months Konnan returned to AAA and together with Peña supposedly petitioned the Mexico City boxing and wrestling commission to get Konnan reinstated. The storyline explanation given was that he was allowed to return to wrestling due to Roberts' interference in the match. AAA built their August 28, 1993 La Revencha show in the Los Angeles Sports Arena around Konnan finally getting in the ring with Robets, in a three-way elimination match that also included Cien Caras. Konnan forced Cien Caras to submit, gaining a measure of revenge from their Triplemanía match. Later on Jake "the Snake" Roberts got himself disqualified when Los Gringos Locos  (Eddy Guerrero and Love Machine) interfered in the match. On November 12, 1993 Jake Roberts and Los Gringos Locos defeated Konnan, Blue Panther and Perro Aguayo in the main event of AAA"s La Lucha del Honor event at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. During the match Roberts pinned Konnan in both the second and the third fall.

Part of Peña booking strategy was to not have the two rivals fight one-on-one right away, building the anticipation to when they finally get in the ring for their first singles match. Roberts kept the advantage, using his partnership with Los Gringos Locos to have the numbers advantage. AAA kept the two apart until March 12, 1994 where the two finally faced off. They met in a steel cage match to even the numbers in the main event of AAA's spring Los Angeles Sports Arena show. During the show Konnan finally gained a measure of revenge on Roberts, winning the match by climbing out of the cage, but still had not pinned Roberts. The loss to Konnan was used as the impetus to Roberts finally agreeing to put his hair on the line in a Lucha de Apuesta, or "bet match", which was the ultimate end game for the storyline. The match was scheduled to be the main event of the third Triplemanía II show, with a preview of it taking place at Triplemanía II-B where Konnan, Perro Aguayo and Cien Caras defeated Jake Roberts, Love Machine and Miguel Pérez Jr. in the main event.

Event
The fifth match of the night, a match that was supposed to see Octagón defend his Mexican National Middleweight Championship against Blue Panther. A few days prior to the match Octagón was involved in a car accident, suffering a hand injury. The wrestling boxing commission could not medically clear Octagón to wrestle on the show. Instead he came to the ring with the championship and handed it over to Blue Panther via forfeit, only asking for a rematch once he had recovered from his injury.

Aftermath
Roberts would remain with AAA for several months after losing all his hair, he ended up turning on Los Gringos Locos and actually teamed up with Konnan only a few months later. defeating the team of Perro Aguayo and Vampiro. The Los Gringos Locos storyline carried AAA into their subsequent major shows "Night of Champions" and later on their first ever pay-per-view (PPV) AAA When Worlds Collide that was driven by the feud between a Pareja del Terror (Eddy Guerrero and Love Machine) facing off against El Hijo del Santo and Octagón in a Luchas de Apuestas match where Guerrero and Love Machine ended up losing their hair. 19 days afterwards Love Machine, real name Art Barr, dies of unknown causes. The popularity of Konnan in the wake of his victory over Jake Robers made his turn to the rudo side months later ever more shocking, with Konnan attacking his longtime friend Perro Aguayo during a match and joining Los Gringos Locos instead. At "When Worlds Collide" Aguayo defeated Konnan in a steel cage match.

Once Octagón had recovered from his hand injury he received a rematch for the championship he never lost in the ring, but on August 4, 1994 Blue Panther successfully defended the title against Octagón.

Reception
John Molinario, who writes about wrestling for the Canadian Online Explorer, described the show as a "booking masterpiece by Pena" and that it established Antonio Peña as "the best booker in the business." Wrestling commentator Mike Tenay, who was in attendance that night, recalled "the great heat for that main event match".
