The ounce (abbreviated: oz, the old Italian word onza, now spelled oncia; apothecary symbol: ℥) is a unit of mass with several definitions, the most commonly used of which are equal to approximately 28 grams. The ounce is used in a number of different systems, including various systems of mass that form part of the imperial and United States customary systems. Its size can vary from system to system. The most commonly used ounces today are the international avoirdupois ounce and the international troy ounce.
Ounce derives from Latin uncia, a unit that was one twelfth (1/12) of the Roman pound (libra). Ounce was borrowed twice: first into Old English as ynsan or yndsan from an unattested Vulgar Latin form with ts for c before i (palatalization) and second into Middle English through Anglo-Norman and Middle French (unce, once, ounce).
Inch comes from the same Latin word, but is different because it was borrowed into Old English and underwent i-mutation or umlaut (u → y) and palatalization (k → ch).

Beneath Junior's altruism lies an uncomfortable truth. In debt and on the run from wealthy businessman, John Doran, following a disastrous loss at the poker table, Junior's only hope is to get his hands on his father's settlement. But hope, like luck, is in short supply. As father and son set out to find the witness, suspicion turns to torment as Robert learns of his son's motives and the true cost of Junior's betrayal is revealed.
Genres: Drama, Thriller,Hace mucho tiempo no me
Enamoraba de unos ojos tan bonitos
Comunes de lozano brillo
Era lo que menos en mi plan estaba
Aunque te admito que a veces soñaba
Con la belleza de tu mirada
Quiero llevar el rirmo de tu corazón
Para bailar entre los dos esta canción
La verdad, me estoy volviendo a enamorar
La verdad, quiero que sepas que
Lo que yo siento por ti, es amor
Ganas que me hacen nutrir, el corazón
Droga que me hace inmune, ante el dolor
Gotas de agua dulce, rayo de sol
Lo que yo siento por ti, es amor
Ganas que me hacen nutrir, el corazón
Droga que me hace inmune, ante el dolor
Gotas de agua dulce, rayo de sol
Llevame, de ser preciso, por la semblanza de tu sombra
Yo se que tu prendes la luz y en mi vida te asomas
Como las blancas palomas, cuando la plaza se toman
Con vuelo inmortal
Quiero llevar el ritmo de tu corazón
Para bailar entre los dos esta canción
La verdad, me estoy volviendo a enamorar
La verdad, quiero que sepas que
Lo que yo siento por ti, es amor
Ganas que me hacen nutrir, el corazón
Droga que me hace inmune, ante el dolor
Gotas de agua dulce, rayo de sol
Lo que yo siento por ti, es amor
Ganas que me hacen nutrir, el corazón
Droga que me hace inmune, ante el dolor
Gotas de agua dulce, rayo de sol
Es lo que siento por tí
Es lo que siento por tí
