# 2016 Christy Ring Cup final

The 2016 Christy Ring Cup final was a hurling match played at Croke Park on 4 June 2016 to determine the winners of the 2016 Christy Ring Cup, the 12th season of the Christy Ring Cup, a tournament organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association for the second tier hurling teams. The final was contested by Antrim of Ulster and Meath of Leinster, with the game ending in a controversial 1–20 to 2–17 draw.
The final between Antrim and Meath was the second Ring Cup meeting between the two teams, with Meath failing to beat Antrim on the previous occasion in 2006. Antrim were appearing in their second final ever and were hoping to make a speedy return to the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship after being relegated in 2015. Meath were appearing in their very first final.
Antrim eased ahead with scores from Ciarán Clarke, from a ’65, James Connolly and Conor Johnston. In the 15th minute Johnston sent a bullet to the net after being picked out perfectly by Clarke's cut-back from the end line. Niall McKenna, Connolly and Clarke, with a delightful effort from right on the sideline, were all on target for a 1–7 to 0–1 lead by the 19th minute. James Toher converted a series of frees for Meath and reduced the deficit to 1–10 to 0–7 at the break.
Meath were right back in contention when Neil Heffernan smashed home a brilliant goal five minutes into the second half. In the 70th minute, Kevin Keena squared the ball to fellow sub Seán Quigley, who smashed home a goal from 20 metres. Quigley added a stoppage-time point, and Meath had secured what appeared to be a sensational 2–18 to 1–20 victory.
However, while the Croke Park scoreboard and the TG4 television graphic had Meath as winners, many reporters at the game had it down as a draw in their notes. The scorers list for Meath recorded only 23 points in their 24 to 23-point win. The confusion appears to have arisen from an incident in the 63rd minute. Ahead 1–19 to 1–15, Antrim scored a point but the TG4 graphic moved the Meath score to 1-16 and left the Saffrons at 1–19. Referee John O’Brien from Tipperary later told TG4 that his report confirms the result in Meath's favour. After an appeal by Antrim, the game was deemed to have ended in a draw and Meath eventually agreed to a replay.

# Bulk leach extractable gold

Bulk leach extractable gold, more commonly shortened to BLEG, is a geochemical sampling/analysis tool used during exploration for gold. It was developed in the early 1980s to address concerns relating to the accurately measuring fine grained gold, and dealing with problems associated with sample heterogeneity.

## Analysis

A large quantity of sample (between 2 and 5 kg) is digested or leached with cold sodium cyanide (NaCN) solution (generally 0.1% NaCN), for one to several days (depending on the assay laboratory involved). The gold is dissolved through its formation of a cyanide complex, which is concentrated through the solvent exchange process into an organic solvent and subsequently analyzed. The use of large sample weights and solvent extraction enables low detection limits, as low as 0.1 ppb. The digest is analyzed for Au (0.01 ppb), Cu (0.01 ppm), Ag (0.5 ppb), and depending on situations, for other elements. However, gold values in BLEG are lower than total assays such as those of fire assays, as it analyzes only the fine grained gold fraction and largely ignores coarser and nuggety gold.
If the need arises, a separate split of the original sample is used for pathfinder elements.

## Sampling considerations

BLEG requires the collection of large samples, generally greater than 2 kg. It is necessary to collect fine sized material – silt to clay – where the fine flakes of gold will reside. Given their shape, these fine flakes of gold do not act hydro-dynamically like heavy minerals, and will not settle in the same locations in a stream bed. Where possible, attempts should be made to sample flash flood sites (where finer material concentrates) – overbank deposits.

### Vs sieving

BLEG is essentially a chemical sieve, designed to focus on the fine grained gold fraction. While many exploration geologists attest to the value of BLEG, some question its value compared to analyzing a simple sieved-out fine grained fraction. BLEG has been tried and tested over 20 years, applied successfully in different climatic settings, provides robust, excellent repeatability of results and has had an important role in discovery of massive Au deposits. However, some comparisons show that fine-grained sieved samples (<75 μm) show comparable results to BLEG, making the more complex process potentially unnecessary. With the exception of BLEGs applicability over a wider range of climatic conditions, the superiority of one method over the other is, at this point, still largely determined by personal preference.

# 2004 Sun Bowl

The 2004 Sun Bowl featured the Arizona State Sun Devils, and the Purdue Boilermakers. Sponsored by the Vitalis brand of hair tonic made by Bristol-Myers, the game was officially known as the Vitalis Sun Bowl. It was the 71st Sun Bowl.
Arizona State's place kicker, Jessie Ainsworth kicked a 22-yard field goal in the first quarter to give the Sun Devils a 3-0 lead. Arizona State's running back, Preston Jones was tackled in the end zone by Purdue's Brandon Villareal, for a safety, putting Purdue on the board 3-2. The defenses held, and that score held up in the locker room.
In the third quarter, Purdue's Kyle Orton connected with wide receiver Brian Hare for a long 80-yard touchdown pass to give Purdue a 9-3 lead. Arizona State quarterback, Sam Keller found Derek Hagan in the end zone for a 27-yard touchdown to put Arizona State back on top 10-9. He finished the game with 370 yards passing.
Early in the fourth quarter, Orton found all-American Taylor Stubblefield for a 5-yard touchdown pass, reclaiming the lead for Purdue, 16-10. Arizona State moved the ball on their ensuing drive, but it stalled, and they had to settle for a field goal. Ainsworth connected on a 34-yard field goal, trimming the margin to 16-13. Keller later threw to Rudy Burgess for a 41-yard touchdown, giving ASU a 20-16 lead.
Purdue reclaimed the lead with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Orton to Charles Davis giving them a 23-20 lead. Sam Keller's final touchdown to Rudy Burgess proved to be the game winner, as ASU held off Purdue by a 27-23 margin.
Grammy-winning Texas band Los Lonely Boys performed at halftime.

# BlueWare

BlueWare, Inc. was an international strategic healthware solutions corporation located in Cadillac, Michigan, which focused on developing and marketing software products to the healthcare industry. The company was created by former IBM Healthcare and Advanced Technology Specialists and was an IBM Premier Business Partner.

## Scandal in Florida

In May 2012, Florida Governor Rick Scott lauded the move of BlueWare to Melbourne, Florida. It was announced that BlueWare expected to employ 190 people at an average salary of $69,000, saying “Today’s announcement is a great win for the Space Coast, as well as for the entire state.” At the time, Harr stated that “BlueWare holds 10 companies within its corporate family and we look forward to expanding our presence in healthcare, education, and government sectors”
Prior to that, in early 2012, BlueWare CEO Rose Harr met then Brevard county clerk Mitch Needelman, via Matt DuPree, a former lobbyist and business partner of Needelman. On April 6, 2012, Needelman signed a contract with RoseWare LLC, one of the 10 companies within BlueWare's "corporate family." On the day of signing, $100,000 was wired to BlueWare.
On October 27, 2012, Needelman signed a $6.1 million loan with Hewlett-Packard, despite the fact that the county clerk is not allowed under Florida law to borrow money. Needelman then wired $5,690,526 to BlueWare on November 8, 2012. On January 8, 2013, Ellis was sworn in as Brevard country clerk and continued his investigation into the dealings between Needelman and BlueWare.
Needelman and DuPree were arrested on August 15, 2013. The next day, Harr turned herself in to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office.

## Wellness Connection

BlueWare's Wellness Connection was a server-based electronic medical record, utilizing Computer Output to Laser Disc (COLD) imaging, document imaging, clinical multimedia imaging, with data and biomedical applications in development. The software collected data and images from various sites in a hospital or from remote sites through a modem, captured and compressed the printed patient output at the time of printing or scanning and indexed it into electronic patient records folders under the appropriate tabs. Information was stored on tape, disk drive or on an optical system and could later be called up on a character based screen or a PC.

# Cohors II Gallorum Dacica equitata

Cohors secunda Gallorum Dacica equitata ("2nd part-mounted Cohort of Gauls in Dacia") was a Roman auxiliary regiment which contained both infantry and cavalry contingents.
It was probably originally raised in Gallia Lugdunensis (northern France) during the rule of the founder-emperor, Augustus (r. 30 BC – AD 14). The regiment is first attested in Dacia (Romania) in 109, shortly after the end of the Dacian Wars (101-106) and thus probably participated in those wars. Its last datable attestation is from 179, still in Dacia Superior. Its later fate is unknown.
The regiment was previously known as II Gallorum Pannonica to distinguish it from another II Gallorum, which became known as cohors II Gallorum Macedonica, a purely infantry regiment. The title Dacica first appears in the record in 156.
The full name of just one praefectus (regimental commander) survives: Publius Licinius Maximus, from an undatable inscription on a dedicatory stone at Alhambra in Spain, which may have been his home region. Also attested (144) is a Thracian eques (ranker cavalryman), whose name is only partially preserved.

# Beaumont le Maître

Beaumont le Maître was a French Navy officer. He fought in the Indian Ocean under Suffren during the War of American Independence, notably captaining the 64-gun Ajax at the Battle of Trincomalee from 25 August to 3 September 1782 and Saint Michel at the Battle of Cuddalore on 20 June 1783.

## Biography

Born the family of a gally captain, Beaumont le Maître joined the Navy as a Garde-Marine on 12 January 1766. He was promoted to Lieutenant on 13 March 1779.
With the outbreak of the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War, France and the Dutch Republic found themselves allied against the Kingdom of Great Britain. The Dutch expected the British to send an expeditionary force to try and capture their Dutch Cape Colony, and Suffren was given command of a 5-ship squadron to reinforce it. Beaumont le Maître was a Lieutenant on the 64-gun Vengeur, under Forbin).
After the Battle of Negapatam of 6 July 1782, Suffren replaced four of his captain, among whom the ailing and possibly senile Bouvet de Précourt. Suffren chose Beaumont le Maître to replace him as captain of Ajax.
Beaumont le Maître commanded Ajax at the Battle of Trincomalee. Suffren was pleased with his performance.
Beaumont le Maître then transferred to Saint Michel, which he commanded at the Battle of Cuddalore on 20 June 1783, again with distinction.
