Medical grade diamorphine is used as a pure hydrochloride salt. Various white and brown powders sold illegally around the world as heroin have variable "cuts". Black tar heroin is a variable admixture of morphine derivatives—predominantly 6-MAM (6-monoacetylmorphine), which is the result of crude acetylation during clandestine production of street heroin.

Al McCoy (announcer)
Al McCoy (born April 26, 1933), also known as The Voice of the Suns, is an American sportscaster and play-by-play announcer for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association since 1972. The ongoing 2022-2023 NBA season is his 51st season with the team. He is the longest-tenured broadcaster in NBA history. Along with Chick Hearn, Hot Rod Hundley and Kevin Calabro, he is among the last of NBA broadcasters to have been simulcast on both television and radio, before league-officials ended the practice in the mid-00's and McCoy's broadcasts became exclusive to radio and online streaming via the Suns Radio Network. His fast-paced, classical broadcasting style coupled with his colorful use of catchphrase to distinguish plays has proven influential to a generation of sportscasters, such as current lead NBA on ABC play-by-play announcer Mike Breen, who remarked of McCoy as "one of my heroes" during live ESPN coverage of the 2021 Western Conference Finals.

Aodh was a popular male given name in mediaeval Gaelic Ireland. It was traditionally written in English-language documents as Hugh, an unrelated name of Frankish origin. The first bearers of the surname were the grandsons of Aodh (died 1033), who was son of Ruaidhrí mac Coscraigh, King of South Connacht. The surname's pronunciation in Irish has also given rise to the spelling McGagh (otherwise McGah or McGarr), forms of the surname which are geographically concentrated around the area of Belclare parish in County Galway, the centre of the Clann Cosgraigh territory ruled by the historical McHughs. Other anglicised versions of the surname include Hughes and Hewson.
