The violent reality in which Ofelia lives merges seamlessly with her fantastical interior world when she meets a faun in a decaying labyrinth and is set on a strange, mythic journey that is at once terrifying and beautiful. In his revisiting of this bloody period in Spanish history, del Toro creates a vivid depiction of the monstrosities of war infiltrating a child's imagination and threatening the innocence of youth.

These proudly South African Shweshwe nursing aprons are an absolute must.
For those who don't know, a nursing cover is the most convenient and stylish way to breastfeed discreetly. The adjustable strap makes for best fit and keeps the cover from slipping from your shoulders. The open neckline allows a constant view of your little one and keeps the nursing cover away from their face. The fabric is soft and lightweight and designed with these funky Shweshwe prints on the front, but plain fabric inside so that it does not distract or stimulate the baby. The covers are machine washable and 100% breathable cotton fabric.


Editor's note: Terry Frei of the Denver Post recently paid tribute to Irv Moss, who retired from the paper at age 81 on June 20.
Moss, who has covered events in Colorado for 60 years, received the FWAA Lifetime Achievement Award in January during the FWAA's annual awards breakfast.
Here is a portion of Terry's story.
In the spring of 1956, Denver Post sports editor Chuck Garrity was impressed with the newsroom copyboy's hustle as he delivered the stock market ticker tape and wire-service copy to various departments.
Garrity assigned Moss to cover the men's fast-pitch softball league at City Park, which routinely drew standing-room-only crowds of more than 5,000. If the untried Moss fouled up the high-profile assignment, Garrity would hear about it.
Moss got his story in and in June 1956 became a full-fledged writer in the Post's sports department. After a stay of more than 60 years at the Post, Moss' final day as a full-time reporter was June 24, making him one of the longest serving newspaper employees in the country. He will continue to write the Rockies' minor-league report on a freelance basis through August.

KODIAK, Alaska (AP) The Alaska Board of Game has voted against proposed changes to bear hunting regulations, including a measure to reserve at least 90 percent of Kodiak brown bear permits for Alaska residents.
The board struck down all but four of 18 proposals for changes to the rules during a meeting in Anchorage, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Monday.
Several rejected proposals would have limited permits for non-Alaska residents, according to board member Larry Van Daele. About two-thirds of the bear permits are allocated to the state's residents.
Non-resident hunters must hire bear guides at costs ranging from $10,000 and $22,000, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game website.
The proposed permit restrictions on non-resident hunters would have hurt the Kodiak economy, Van Daele said.
"It would have essentially wiped out the guiding business," he said.
Some of the changes were proposed by the group Resident Hunters of Alaska.
The group formed because of "resident hunter dismay at how our current Alaska Board of Game has been managing the allocation of our game" and a perception that the state board favors the big game guide industry, according to the group's website.
The board also passed three proposals for hunting mountain goats, which state biologists said are increasing in the Kodiak region.


"Netanyahu is the Main Obstacle to Peace": CodePink Activist Disrupts Israeli PM Speech to Congress | Democracy Now!
is a peace activist with the group CodePink. She is a Jewish American of Israeli descent.
As she was screaming, members in the audience tackled her to the ground. Undercover security forces dragged her outside. She was taken to George Washington University Hospital, where she was treated for neck and shoulder injuries. At the hospital, police arrested Abileah and charged her with disorderly conduct for disrupting Congress. Her protest came as part a week-long series of actions organized by CodePink called Move Over AIPAC.
I think that the act I took of courageously standing up in front of Congress doesn't — the opportunity to do that doesn't come along very often. But every day, as Americans, we have an opportunity to stand up. And whether it's putting our money where our hearts are, by participating in economic pressure against Israel through the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, or calling our Congress people or taking other actions, it's time for us to say no to this terrible policy that, just as Dr. Barghouti has illustrated, will not bring about peace. Netanyahu proved yesterday that he is the primary obstacle to peace and justice for Israelis and Palestinians. And to see our Congress giving away three billion of our tax dollars every year to Israeli war crimes, while our economy suffers, while our kids can't go to college, while our needs aren't being met here at home, is absolutely an outrage.
RAE ABILEAH: — it was by members of AIPAC. Yes?
RAE ABILEAH: I just wanted to say that the people that were sitting around me in the gallery of Congress yesterday were mostly wearing badges from the AIPAC Israel lobby conference. And I did not expect that people holding such power and representing such a huge lobby group would respond so violently to my peaceful disruption. And after I spoke out, Netanyahu said, you know, "This is what's possible in a democracy. And you wouldn't be able to get away with this in other countries like Tunisia." And I think that is ridiculous and absurd. If this is what democracy looks like, that when you speak out for freedom and justice, you get tackled to the ground, you get physically violated and assaulted, and then you get hauled off to jail, that's not the kind of democracy that I think I want to live in.
AMY GOODMAN: And what does it mean for you to speak out? Often in this country, the Jewish community is portrayed as monolithic when it comes toward — to dealing with Israel policy and supporting the Israeli government. Your thoughts on that? And what does it mean for you to speak out, with your family from Israel?
RAE ABILEAH: — and say that it's not in the best interest of any faith to do this.

This will be our penultimate blog on increasing sales on your website. As we reach the end of the blog series, make sure you get in touch with [email protected] if you have any questions.
We've found that any of our sites that have actual people smiling back at the clients seem to do much better than just generic photos with people. Hence the happy three people you see cycling across our website header.
Oftern we find clients hiding important links in website text. There are benefits to this - if you use the correct search terms in links to the your page it'll help the search juice - but why not put them on a button? They are bigger, brighter and get clicked more often.
Have a play with displaying your content in one or numerous columns. It's said that alot of users prefer one column, but it all comes down to content and how you display that content.
Give your clients the chance to speak directly to you with a live chat function. Once you've hooked them in for a chat, the chances of a sale increase dramatically.
As we've said earlier, people relate to people. Don't be afraid to use your photo - the logic that a big brand shouldn't have the individual faces often doesn't translate. The same goes with emails...we never send out a bulk mail campaign from a "[email protected]" address - we always use an individuals name - it's a more personal touch.
It's amazing what the shape of a picture, or something as blatant as an arrow can do. Direct people to where you want to be on the page through the layout and the images used.
For the most part people won't actually take you up on a 'we'll beat the offer of our competitors' - but using a phrase like that can instill confidence in the customer that they are getting the best price.
As a general rule we prefer shorter content and think that works better, but often it comes down to the industry. Some fact based industries may have customers that want a heap of content - try different lengths and see what works best.
This is a must do. A big one. Make sure you make it easy for people to contact you. As a rule of thumb we put a link to the contact page on every other page throughout the site. This might not be appropriate for an e-commerce store, but for service based industries it's a really good idea.
It's amazing the impact a positive review can have. We like to place a single testimonial on each page of a client website - it legitimises a business without bombarding the consumer with too many. Facebook and Google both have facilities for reviews as well - make sure you contact customers and ask them for feedback.
Charge up your customers by charging up your text. Use emotionally powerful language to excite your consumer base.
If you need to take lot's of information in a form, make as many fields as possible optional. You want that sales lead first and foremost, so don't scare them off.
If you are paying for advertising then make sure what you advertise is also what your potential customer finds on the site. Never mislead - it might increase click through rates, but that won't follow with sales.
Most payment facilities should do this these days, but be sure you offer PayPal and a credit card facility (even if it directs the payment through PayPal).
This is certainly one we have tried repeatedly. Changing our colour schemes had a direct result in sales. There is no magic colour, as for different products, different colours work better - the only way to find out what will work for you is to experiment. Don't be afraid to change colour.
TELL THEM TO DO IT. SERIOUSLY, TELL THEM.
When we make a site we have a policy of making sure that wherever a user is on the site, they will very quickly find a link to that final point of the sales equation. For most companies that's a 'contact us now' button, but for others it might be a 'BUY NOW'. Whatever it is for your company - call them to action!
If you have one product that sells very well, but you think another goes well with it - make a recommendation on the first product page. Recommendations to similar products or information on each page can work really well. Try to tell a story through the links in your site.
If you are selling an actual product online, think about limiting the number available and showing that number of stock left on the sales page. If there are 'only 2 left', you appeal to the primal 'buy now' aspect of a shoppers mentality.
In a busy commerce world, shoppers aren't going to fall for overly hyped jargon. When you are writing the content for your site, be compelling, but avoid completely over hyping it. Don't be an informercial on the internet!
THIS IS AMAZING - BUT WHY?
Really spell it out to consumers what is good about the product. Make it absolutely clear what the benefits of the product are. Don't sell a 'TV Screen', sell a "52 inch, Plasma, HD TV Screen" for example.
A good website and good sales platform takes alot of experimentation. Something as simple as the text on a buy button can change how well a product sells. Test variations - 'buy now', 'order now', 'purchase' - and see what has the best effect. Test and test again.
We often have clients that want to grab as much information as possible...because it makes their life easier at the other end. As we have said time and time again, that's the complete wrong approach to marketing and sales. Think of the customer first...what is going to make their life easier, and make them more likely to contact you. Less fields = more sign ups...which means more sales leads.
Have faith that you will do a good job or that your product will be top quality. For us, that means creating a first homepage draft free of charge before asking for a deposit. We know our service and product is excellent, so don't mind giving the first bit away free to get the conversion. For others, that might mean having a money back gaurantee - it reduces risk for the customer.
Language is surprisingly powerful. Use words like 'buy now', or 'secure your spot early' and you may be surprised at the quick increase in conversions.
Alot of older websites have a page specifically dedicated to testimonials. There is a reason for this - people like hearing the word of others before committing to a sale. Our personal view is that you should intersperse testimonials throughout the site (only one or two on each page). This constantly re-affirms the trust factor. If you have been reviewed by big companies, or have worked for renowned companies - think about including those logos on your homepage.
This seems obvious, but you really do need to know your product and SELL that product or service on your website. Rather than just saying 'here is my service', start saying 'here is my service, and this is why you need it'. It's always a good plan to think as a customer when you write your content. Ask yourself what would sell this product or service to ME. Why would I take the extra step of actually parting with my money? Once you can communicate that you'll be one step closer to making a sale.
Recently, we've seen just how important a customer's perception can be to your bottom line. If you price too low, you run the risk of being perceived as 'cheap' and low quality, where if you price too high, the perception is that your product is too expensive. So the big question is how do you hit that sweet spot? The price where perception meets reality.
There doesn't appear to be a silver bullet for this one unfortunately, but there are a few well established guidelines that you should consider when setting your pricing.
Multiple studies have now concluded that putting a "9" in your pricing makes a significant difference into it's attractiveness. Initially we thought this sounded like a bit of an old wives sale tale, and could never understand why companies continually put their prices at '$9.99', but it's been shown that having your pricing adjusted to this can increase your sales by 24% - and that is significant.
This is the big one. Pricing has been shown to, on one hand, give a perception of value and equally, on the other hand, a of a lack of quality, so it's really important to figure out what your consumer thinks is the right price. Funnily enough, this was pretty much perfectly shown by Kanye West recently - he opened a pop up store and started charging exorbitant prices for his "one of a kind" t-shirts. People were more than willing to pay this price, until they noticed the generic brand tag inside the t-shirt which told them it was just a cheap product with fancy sign writing on it. Equally, the Warehouse in New Zealand has had to battle a 'cheap and nasty' perception for the last few years, despite bringing in higher quality products.
You won't find this one in any text book, but we strongly believe this is a critical part of the equation - particularly for repeat business. If you set your price as low as possible (without going below the perception of low quality threshold), you will ensure clients continue to return again and again. We certainly keep this as a key pillar of our pricing.
The last little takeaway we'd like you to think about as you read this blog is to think about how you yourself perceive products from now on. Don't just buy something because it is more expensive, and equally don't buy something simply because it is cheaper. Ask why the price is set at where it is. Think about the product, not the price. 543 will continue to keep our prices as low as possible and hope that we can debunk the 'cheap' perception by providing high quality website and marketing for our clients. They understand we can do that be reducing our overheads and working with systems that save them money without compromising on quality... Hopefully that means we hit the 'sweet spot' for pricing!

What is the 'Clean Version' of digital movies?
By hdreport
If you've got a digital library on iTunes, FandangoNOW or Vudu with movies from Sony you might have noticed a "Clean Version" version along with the film. The bonus content is a variation of the film that has been edited for a younger, or more content-sensitive audience.
Earlier this month Sony Pictures Home Entertainment launched 24 edited versions of films for home consumers, which are apparently used already for commercial purposes such as flights and network broadcasts.
"Clean versions" of Sony films can be found along with the theatrical or extended versions of films, and show up as extra content. Streaming movie service Vudu includes a trailer explaining what a clean version is accompanies the edited version under the VUDU Extras tab.
The first movie we discovered on Vudu with this extra content was Ron Howard's Inferno. The availability of a Clean Version was indicated by a label above the film thumbnail as pictured above. The edited film is only about three-and-a-half minutes shorter than the theatrical release that runs just over 123 minutes through the end of credits.
FandangoNOW also had a clean version of Inferno, but we were unable to find the version on iTunes.
As of yet, the services are not offering the film's predecessors, The Da Vinci Code, The Da Vinci Code (Unrated), or Angels and Demons with a Clean Version.
According to Sony, the Clean Version allows viewing for a wider audience, giving people the chance to watch their favorite films together."
Actor/writer Seth Rogan wasn't thrilled with this idea, asking the studio "not to do this to our movies." Most directors, we would imagine, are horrified by the notion of having their film's content removed.
But the Clean Versions do allow greater distribution of films in front of audiences that may not have tuned in. And, there are times when films may have been rated for mature audiences simply because of one scene.
If you were the director would you want your film edited without your consent? Well, unless you produce and own your own film you don't really have a choice.
Among the 24 films available in clean versions are 50 First Dates, Battle Of The Year, Big Daddy, Captain Phillips, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Easy A, Elysium, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, Goosebumps, Grown Ups, Grown Ups 2, Hancock, Inferno, Moneyball, Pixels, the Spider-Man franchise films, Step Brothers, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and White House Down.

Loop mattress suture
Video 5-19. Locking vertical mattress suture
This technique, also known as the loop mattress suture, is a locking variation of the vertical mattress suture that may be used for closure and epidermal approximation. Unlike the standard vertical mattress suture, it adds a section of suture crossing over the top of the incised wound edge, which may be useful to aid in wound-edge apposition. As with many interrupted techniques, it may be used alone for wounds under modest tension, such as those formed by either a small punch biopsy or a traumatic laceration.
With all techniques, it is best to use the thinnest suture possible in order to minimize the risk of track marks and foreign-body reactions. Suture choice will depend largely on anatomic location and the goal of suture placement.
On the face, a 6-0 or 7-0 monofilament suture may be used, though fast-absorbing gut may be used on the eyelids and ears to obviate the need for suture removal. When the goal of the locking vertical mattress suture placement is solely to encourage wound-edge eversion, fine-gauge suture material may be used on the extremities as well. Otherwise, 5-0 monofilament suture material may be used if there is minimal tension, and 4-0 monofilament suture is useful in areas under moderate tension where the goal of suture placement is relieving tension as well as epidermal approximation. In select high-tension areas, 3-0 monofilament suture may be utilized as well.
The needle is inserted perpendicular to the epidermis, approximately 6 mm distant from the wound edge.
With a fluid motion of the wrist, the needle is rotated deep through the dermis, and the needle tip exits the skin on the contralateral side. If the needle radius is too small to complete this arc in one movement, this first step may be divided into two, with the needle first exiting between the incised wound edges and then reloaded and reinserted to exit on the contralateral side.
The needle body is grasped with surgical forceps in the left hand, with care being taken to avoid grasping the needle tip, which can be easily dulled by repetitive friction against the surgical forceps. It is gently grasped and pulled upward with the surgical forceps as the body of the needle is released from the needle driver. Alternatively, the needle may be released from the needle driver, and the needle driver itself may be used to grasp the needle from the contralateral side of the wound to complete its rotation through its arc, obviating the need for surgical forceps.
The needle is then reloaded in a backhand fashion and inserted at 90 degrees perpendicular to the epidermis approximately 3 mm from the ...

MAN SENTENCED TO RECEIVE DEATH PENALTY FOR DOUBLE EXECUTION-MURDER OF NEIGHBOR AND NEIGHBOR'S FRIEND FOR FINANCIAL GAIN
Case # 12ZF0137
SANTA ANA, Calif. – A man was formally sentenced today to receive the death penalty for using a firearm to murder his neighbor for financial gain and murdering the victim's friend in an effort to derail the investigation by framing the first victim. Daniel Patrick Wozniak, 32, Costa Mesa, was found guilty by a jury on Dec. 16, 2015, of with two felony counts of special circumstances murder with sentencing enhancements for committing multiple murders and murder for financial gain. The sentencing enhancement for the personal discharge of a firearm causing death was also found true. The jury recommended the death penalty on Jan. 11, 2016.
This case was investigated by the Costa Mesa Police Department (CMPD) and was prosecuted by Senior Deputy District Attorney Matt Murphy of the Homicide Unit.
Circumstances of the Crime
Prior to May 21, 2010, Wozniak plotted the murder of his neighbor, 26-year-old Samuel Herr, who lived in the same apartment complex with the intention of stealing the victim's substantial savings. On the afternoon of May 21, 2010, Wozniak lured Herr from their Costa Mesa apartment complex and driving him to the theater facility at the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base. Wozniak was familiar with the theater because he had previously acted in plays at that location.
Once inside the theater, Wozniak murdered Herr by shooting him twice in the head with the intention of stealing the victim's savings. He then left Herr's body in the theater and stole the victim's ATM card, wallet, and cell phone.
Later that evening, Wozniak used Herr's cell phone to text message Herr's friend, 23-year-old Juri "Julie" Kibuishi. Wozniak was acquainted with Kibuishi and was her "friend" on Facebook. Wozniak pretended to be Herr in the text messages and arranged with Kibuishi to come to Herr's Costa Mesa apartment.
Shortly after midnight on May 22, 2010, Kibuishi arrived at Herr's apartment. Wozniak met her at the door of Herr's apartment and lured her inside into the bedroom, where he murdered her by shooting her twice in the head. Wozniak then partially removed Kibuishi's clothing to stage the crime scene to appear as though the victim had been sexually assaulted.
On the afternoon of May 22, 2010, Wozniak returned to the theater, cutting off Herr's clothes and dismembering the victim's body by removing his head, left arm, and the lower portion of his right arm. He left the victim's torso and legs in the theater and took the dismembered body parts to discard them in El Dorado Park Nature Center in Long Beach, a large nature reserve with trails and two lakes.
At approximately 9:20 p.m. on May 22, 2010, officers from CMPD discovered Kibuishi's body upon responding to a call regarding a possible murder from Herr's father, who had gone to the Costa Mesa apartment to check on his son. Herr's whereabouts at that time were unknown and he initially became the primary suspect in Kibuishi's murder.
Following the two murders, Wozniak gave Herr's ATM card to a 17-year-old acquaintance and instructed the minor to withdraw money from the victim's account at various ATMs in Long Beach. Costa Mesa detectives investigating the case learned of the ATM withdrawals and arrested the minor after observing him using the victim's bank card. In all, $2,000 was taken from Herr's bank account.
Based on information learned through the ongoing investigation and the arrest of the juvenile, Wozniak was arrested for the murders of Herr and Kibuishi on May 26, 2010, at Tsunami restaurant in Huntington Beach. Wozniak was at dinner celebrating his bachelor party in anticipation of his upcoming wedding, planned to take place in Long Beach that Friday, May 28, 2010.
CMPD detectives discovered Herr's body on May 27, 2010, at the base. A search for Herr's dismembered body parts at El Dorado Park Nature Center was conducted by CMPD with assistance from the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), search and rescue personnel from Orange, Los Angeles, and Ventura Counties, and investigators from the Los Angeles Coroner's Office (LACO). The victim's head and parts of his left arm, which were decomposed and scavenged by animals, were found over the next two days.
On May 27, 2010, Wozniak was transported from the jail to Western Medical Center to be treated for self-inflicted head injuries and was released back to the jail on May 29, 2010. The OCDA charged the defendant on May 28, 2010.
Herr and Kibuishi were both students at Orange Coast College and Herr was a military veteran.
At the sentencing today, four members of the victims' families delivered emotional victim impact statements pursuant to Marsy's Law. The statements in their entirety are available at www.orangecountyda.org by selecting Reports under the Reports pull-down menu.
For their assistance in the investigation, CMPD and OCDA would like to thank the FBI, LBPD, Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, LACO, Orange County Coroner's Office, and Ventura County Sheriff's Department.

Se entiende por violencia obstétrica cualquier conducta, por acción u omisión, que realizada por personal de la salud afecte el cuerpo y los procesos reproductivos de las mujeres, como el trato deshumanizado, la medicalización injustificada y la patologización de procesos que son naturales.

La primera referencia del término apareció en el año 1827, en una publicación en inglés, como crítica a las prácticas en los paritorios.

La Organización Mundial de la Salud emitió una declaración el 2014 con el fin de alertar y erradicar la falta de respeto durante la atención al parto en los centros de salud, a nivel mundial. Algunos activistas incluyen a la violencia obstétrica entre las violaciones a los derechos humanos, y la consideran una transgresión a la no discriminación, a la libertad y a la seguridad de la persona. Muchas investigadoras sobre esta temática clasifican la violencia obstétrica como un tipo de violencia de género institucionalizada y simbólica: no es solo consecuencia de mala praxis médica, sino que bebe directamente de la medicina androcéntrica, por lo que hace referencia a un conjunto de prácticas que degrada, oprime e intimida a las mujeres de distintas maneras dentro de la atención a la salud reproductiva. Así lo confirman también los países en Latinoamérica que han legislado sobre violencia obstétrica, pues esto siempre se ha hecho dentro de la legislación sobre violencia de género.

El uso del término «violencia obstétrica» es criticado por los médicos y matronas, porque argumentan que es contrario a su ethos y argumentan que, en conjunto, las actuaciones que se critican presentan más beneficios que riesgos si se aplican tempranamente, y que retrasarlas puede hacer que resulten ineficaces si se evidencian necesarias.

Violencia obstétrica física y psicológica

Se pueden considerar violencia obstétrica prácticas como el tacto realizado por más de una persona, la episiotomía como procedimiento de rutina, el uso de fórceps, la maniobra de Kristeller, el raspaje de útero sin anestesia, la cesárea sin verdadera justificación médica o el suministro de medicación innecesaria.

El recurso a la cesárea es la práctica más criticada como medio de acelerar innecesariamente un parto que se presenta sin complicaciones.

La violencia obstétrica psicológica se manifiesta en un trato deshumanizado por discriminación, burlas o críticas a la mujer o a su hijo.

Manifestaciones de la violencia obstétrica
 No atender oportuna y eficazmente las emergencias obstétricas.
 Obligar a la mujer a parir en una posición que le resulta incómoda, si hay alternativa.
 Obstaculizar, sin causa justificada, el apego precoz del niño con su madre, negándole la posibilidad de cargarlo y amamantarlo.
 Alterar el proceso natural del parto de bajo riesgo, mediante el uso de técnicas de aceleración, sin obtener el consentimiento voluntario, expreso e informado de la mujer.
 Practicar el parto por vía de cesárea, cuando haya condiciones para el parto natural, sin obtener el consentimiento voluntario, expreso e informado de la mujer.
 Dar a la usuaria un trato infantil, paternalista, autoritario, despectivo, humillante, con insultos verbales, despersonalizado o con vejaciones.

Legislación en Latinoamérica

Venezuela
Venezuela fue el primer país de América Latina en tipificar la violencia obstétrica como delito en el año 2007, en la Ley Orgánica sobre el Derecho de las Mujeres a una Vida Libre de Violencia, en sus artículos 15 y 51. La ley establece que "Se entiende por violencia obstétrica la apropiación del cuerpo y procesos reproductivos de las mujeres por personal de salud, que se expresa en un trato deshumanizador, en un abuso de medicalización y patologización de los procesos naturales, trayendo consigo pérdida de autonomía y capacidad de decidir libremente sobre sus cuerpos y sexualidad, impactando negativamente en la calidad de vida de las mujeres."

Argentina
La Ley 25.929, "Parto Humanizado" promulgada el 17 de septiembre de 2004 establece derechos para el padre, la madre y el recién nacido, cuando exista una situación de riesgo para la persona recién nacida.

Desde el 1 de abril de 2009 la Ley 26.485, "Ley de protección integral para prevenir, sancionar y erradicar la violencia contra las mujeres en los ámbitos en que desarrollen sus relaciones interpersonales", complementa, en su artículo 6, la anterior.

What can I say about such quality tools. These surely are probably the best! A dream to use if you have medium or small hands. Excellent product, costly, but worth every penny!
I just acquired a set of these, and I'm extremely impressed. I am not a wood-carver, more a furniture maker that carves the odd foot or other component. With that in mind, I really like these, they're the ones I'll reach for first. The size and balance make them very easy to control with accuracy, either hand or light mallet taps. The handles are light and very grippy - no nasty thick varnish, so they look and feel good too. The blades are all honed very well - razor-sharp straight out of the box. And finally the rack is well-made and protects the blades completely, making it easy to actually put them away properly. Mainly I love how these handle - they aren't too small at all, but give loads of control. They remind me of my Lie Nielsen chisels: fast and light, very precise, and super-sharp. what more could I ask? Nothing.


Well, we had a nice morning this morning. We took the ferry to Mackinac Island. It was a short 18 minute ride. Then we started walking around town and the shops weren't open yet, so we decided to eat breakfast.
Then we checked out the horse and buggy tours around the island and just decided to walk around ourselves thru the town and up to The Grand Hotel. Awesome! I have lots of photos to download when I have a fast internet hookup but I'm sure they didn't come out as beautiful as it was in person. You must see the movie "Somewhere In Time" to really appreciate it.
Walking thru the town, where no motorized vehicles are allowed, really took us back in time. It was neat to see everyone either walking, biking, horseback riding or riding in a horse drawn carriage. The homes and buildings are beautiful too. We got a chuckle from seeing the handyman service guys walking thru town, pulling their tool cart to the job. We took a photo of it too. Quite a site! Then we saw a horse pulling a rather large trailer and discovered that it was the trash truck! It really makes you change to a slower pace.
We got tired of walking and boarded the ferry for our return trip to the mainland to load up the motorhome and head south. We must say we had the most perfect weather the past two days. A storm is supposedly on its way...perfect time for these Californians to leave. We're heading south to Grand Blanc, a town just outside Flint, Michigan, to visit some good friends of ours, Claudia and Larry Reeder. They are coincidently here visiting their daughter, Cheryl, the same time we are here. So we're heading to Cheryl's house where we will dock our home on wheels for a day or two and visit. Cheryl is here for her medical residency. She is from Fresno area too.
(A Sierra High Graduate!) We were informed that we will be going to a good Mexican food restaurant tonight.....its about time for Mexican food as we haven't had any since Elko. I'll keep you posted but probably won't have time tonight as Dancing with the Stars comes on afte we get back from dinner!!!! I have to keep my priorities straight!
No cars? OH NO! Would I have to collect horse-drawn carriages?
How do Realtors caravan? How do Realtors show homes? HA HA HA!
Did you look at any home prices? May be a good place for a vacation home?
BUT DID THEY HAVE CELL SERVICE?
How's Mike doing? Is he ready to put you on a plane?


Koni Single Adjustable Front Strut - Struts are externally adjustable from underneath the hood, even with the factory strut brace. This strut is prepared for coil over use, and eliminates machining of critical suspension components. The sway bar bracket is reinforced beyond the stock or regular Koni bracket.
Ground Control Adjustable Spring Perch - A unique design, that uses an allen head bolt to clamp the single threaded perch into the correct position. No secondary pieces are needed to "jam"; the threaded perch into position. This method of clamping onto the threads also prevents sand, grit, and water from getting into the threads, which is a common problem with jam nuts.
Koni Single Adjustable Rear Shocks - Preadjusted to match rear spring rates using our shock dyno. The street/track is now exclusively the "top-adjust" version, which adjusts from inside the trunk with no tools needed. The rear shocks are custom built and valved by Koni to GC specifications, and are shorter than standard Konis.
Eibach Springs - All popular street spring rates are available. Ground Control springs are made by Eibach on German machines both in the USA and in Germany, however all Eibach springs have a lifetime guarantee against sagging, rate change, or any manufacturing or material failure. Lifetime guarantee. Compare!
Ground Control Bump Stop - We do not just ask you to reuse your stock bump stops. The stock bump stop is designed for stock suspension. We provide a bump stop designed to work with our suspension. These are soft foam, same quality as OEM BMW parts, but made to our specs in Germany.
Ground Control Rear Ride Height Adjustment Kit - Billet aluminum threaded adjusters bolt on top of the rear control arm. The e36 M3 has a larger diameter rear axle than the standard E46, so it is necessary for clearance to not have any portion of the adjuster below the control arm.
Ground Control (Street) Camber/Caster Plates - More camber adjustment than stock, caster adjustment, aircraft bearing, engraved with calibrated degrees, with stainless steel reinforcement. Every component is anodized or plated, including fasteners. Adds extra travel to avoid excessive bottoming out, this is a very well-engineered product. The stainless steel reinforcement prevents electrolysis between the steel fender and the aluminum camber plate.
Camber is quickly adjustable by sliding the mounts, without removing any components from the car. The priority of this design is to allow fast, repeatable alignment changes at the track. Caster is adjustable, when necessary to correct the car, by changing a shim under the plate.
The Ground Control camber plates feature a urethane bushing that carries the side loads only, and does not rotate (no squeek!) and allows for articulation of the shock shaft. This urethane bushing is very under stressed, as the Ground Control design does NOT support the weight of the car on the urethane bushing. Instead, the weight of the car is supported by a completely separate rotating ball bearing, which is also manufactured in Germany. The entire assembly is machined at an angle, just like the stock upper mount. Beware of less expensive machining that bends the strut shaft after installation.
Ground Control Rear Shock Mount - Billet aluminum, urethane bushings, pre-assembled. Includes gaskets and reinforcements.

Benjamin 'Wayne' Terranova
Benjamin "Wayne" Terranova, 69, passed away May 11, 2016, at Ellis Hospital surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with lung disease.
He was born in Gloversville on January 21, 1947, to the late Benjamin and Grace Terranova.
Wayne attended Gloversville schools and served his country in the United States Army during Vietnam from 1967-1968, being honorably discharged.

Wayne also served as president of the Vietnam Veterans Chapter 91 from 1980-1984.
He was the sole owner and operator of a reputable auto body repair business (Wayne's Body Shop) in Gloversville from the early 1970s until his retirement in 2011.
Wayne married his childhood sweetheart and loving wife, Jacquelyn, whom he had met at age 11, on January 28, 1968. Together they raised a family of four precious daughters and created a lifetime of wonderful memories.
He had a great love for classic Oldsmobiles; enjoyed building model cars and was an avid Dale Earnhardt fan who enjoyed watching NASCAR races every Sunday with his family. Wayne enjoyed the companionship of his two beloved dogs, Bonnie and Clyde. Before becoming ill, he was known by many for his Elvis impersonations at family weddings and other gatherings. Most of all, Wayne was known as a loving husband, devoted father, grandfather and a great friend to all who knew him and will be greatly missed.
Survivors include his beloved wife of 48 years, Jacquelyn (Decker) Terranova; daughters, Kristy Wagar (Don), Melissa Watson (Rick), Lisa Roth (Matt) and Carrie O'Dell; grandchildren, Christopher Glover, Cameron and Miranda Wagar, Julia and Damien Roth and Hunter and Ava O'Dell; great-grandson, Jack Glover; stepchildren, Jason, Nicholas and Dustin Watson; sister, Donna Terranova; brothers, Phil Terranova (Patricia) and Joseph Terranova; niece, Sherri Terranova; and several cousins.

A service to celebrate Wayne's life will take place on Monday, May 16, at 10:30 a.m. at the funeral home with the Rev. Dr. R.W. Williams officiating. Burial with military honors will follow at Ferndale Cemetery, Johnstown.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Wayne's memory to the Shriners Hospitals for Children, 2900 N. Rocky Point Drive, Tampa, FL 33607.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Walrath & Stewart Funeral Home, Gloversville. Online condolences for the Terranova family are available at www.brbsfuneral.com.

From snow-capped mountains and glassy lakes to roaming grizzly bears and soaring eagles, the Canadian Rockies are synonymous with the kind of beauty that makes National Geographic go weak at the knees.
While there's something to be said for road trips, there's no escaping the fact that the Canadian Rockies span for almost 1500 kilometres. This means that if you want to cover ground, savour a curated itinerary and venture to places that a Honda Civic could never dream of, the Globus Spirit of the Rockies tour will have you captivated.
So what's there to look forward to?
With its urban beaches, vibrant neighbourhoods and dramatic mountain backdrop, Vancouver is the kind of city that will make you want to start Googling immigration laws. But the Rocky Mountaineer calls, and you'll be glad you jumped aboard. Winding its way through British Columbia, Alberta and the Pacific Northwest, the world-renowned luxury train unlocks unprecedented access to Canada's wild beauty.

Crowned by glacier fed Lake Louise, Banff National Park is arguably the most iconic mountain town on the planet. Sorry Queenstown lovers! After taking in its impossibly turquoise expanse you'll move onto Moraine Lake, Louise's smaller yet just as enchanting sister. There are plenty of opportunities to stretch your legs, like mini hikes to stunning Peyto Lake and a walking tour of Tunnel Mountain. As the sun sets there's no better place to be than on one of Banff's mountain dwarfed rooftop patios.
Lined with chiselled mountains and jewel coloured lakes, the Icefields Parkway is one of North America's highest and most spectacular drives. It culminates with the mighty Athabasca Glacier, a 10,000 year old sheet of solid ice that fans down from the Columbia Icefield. Globus makes sure you get up close and personal with the iridescent giant, with tickets to ride the Ice Explorer Snocoach onto the Glacier.
If elk, moose, bighorn sheep and bears are on your wish list be sure to keep your camera ready as you travel through Jasper National Park. You'll also get a chance to gaze down at the immensely powerful Athabasca Falls, which thunders more than 20 metres into a rugged canyon.
To us, nothing defines luxury quite like iconic hotels. That's why we swooned when we heard Globus has secured rooms with Fairmont hotels across Canada. You'll get your first taste of the iconic brand at the legendary Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, Canada's original 'Castle in the Rockies.' Not only is the historic chateau a UNESCO World Heritage Site but it's also been named one of North America's top hotels. Next is the spectacular Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Originally built as a log cabin in 1890, the historic chateau has since hosted guests like Queen Elizabeth II, Alfred Hitchcock and Marilyn Monroe. Whether you want to stroll around the lake, pamper yourself in the spa or enjoy a lavish afternoon tea, you'll quite literally have Lake Louise at your doorstep. You'll then check into the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, a high-end resort nestled between towering mountains and shimmering lakes. The deluxe Fairmont Chateau Whistler puts you at the base of breathtaking Blackcomb Mountain, while the ivy enveloped Fairmont Empress Hotel overlooks Victoria's bustling Inner Harbour. The sumptuous afternoon tea is legendary, but if you're feeling adventurous you can opt in for a whale watching tour.

Q: Loss function in tf.nn.sampled_softmax_loss I have a question regarding Tensorflow:
Which loss function is used in tf.nn.sampled_softmax_loss?
I believe it's cross-entropy, but it is not written on the official website. Can anyone confirm my guess?

A: Based on this other question, it looks like it is cross entropy.
Besides, the main difference between sampled_softmax_loss and softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits (the standard cross_entropy loss in TF) is that the first only takes into account a subset V of your vocabulary to calculate your loss, while the second takes into account your entire vocabulary.

Huntington, Anna (1876–1973)
Artists > Anna Huntington
Tritons Riding Hippocamps: A Pair of Fountain Figures
Yawning Tiger
Anna Hyatt Huntington's father, Alpheus Hyatt, was a professor of zoology and paleontology at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His specialty helps to explain the artist's great ability at crafting small bronze animal sculptures and monumental equestrian statues. She received very little formal education, but eventually emerged as one of the most prestigious women artists of her era and one of the most accomplished sculptors.
Hyatt spent her adolescence in the Boston area, where her father provided her and her sister Harriet with a studio. Anna took instruction from Henry Hudson Kitson, who was primarily a portraitist. She later commented on her early years: "I was brought up with clay in my mouth." Frustrated by the limited educational opportunities in her hometown, Hyatt went to New York where she studied with Hermon MacNeil at the Art Students League. She became a frequent visitor to the Bronx Zoo and closely observed lions, tigers, and elephants. She sold her early work through the metal and jewelry firms Shreve, Crump, and Low, plus Gorham and Company.
In 1907, Hyatt went abroad and opened a studio in Auvers-sur-Oise and in Paris, interrupted only by a stay in Italy and a short visit home. While in France, she embarked on her first major heroic study, an equestrian sculpture of Joan of Arc that was exhibited at the Paris Salon. It resulted in the first public monument in New York City by a woman, and the city's first public statue of a real woman, as opposed to an allegorical one. Dedicated in 1915, Joan of Arc also reflects the pro-French feelings of Americans during World War I as well as the tide of international sentiment that led to the French maiden's canonization in 1920.
On the occasion of her forty-seventh birthday in 1923, Hyatt married Archer M. Huntington, the stepson of railroad magnate Collis P. Huntington. It was his fifty-third birthday. Archer was a noted author, philanthropist, and the founder of the Hispanic Society of America in New York where his wife's imposing sculpture El Cid is displayed in the courtyard. Archer Huntington donated land for a permanent home for the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City, and in 1942 the National Academy of Design opened its headquarters in the Huntingtons' former residence, a Beaux Arts mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York.
Like many wealthy Northerners, the couple began to visit coastal South Carolina in the 1920s. They acquired several Allston family plantations near Murrells Inlet, which beginning in 1932 were transformed into Brookgreen Gardens, a sculpture museum and wildlife preserve of more than nine thousand acres. The first outdoor sculpture park in the country, it was an ideal site to showcase Huntington's sculpture and a comprehensive survey of American figurative sculpture.
While some view the style of her work as conservative, Huntington's small "animalier" bronzes were very much in vogue in the early decades of the twentieth century. Her large-scale public commissions are impressive for her ability to comprehend outdoor settings and bronze casting. Huntington was also innovative in her early use of aluminum and a great patron of like-minded sculptors. Like her counterpart, Gloria Vanderbilt Whitney who was both sculptor and founder of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Hyatt sustained a far-reaching and creative career in sculpture, while providing for the display of American art.

Most employees, except for those workers who are "exempt," must be paid overtime wages for any and all hours worked over 40 hours in a single workweek. That's federal law, established by the Fair Labor Standards Act all the way back in 1938, and it's still true today.
For federal law, a weekly standard is applied in overtime requirements. Some states, most notably California, have added additional requirements which make overtime pay mandatory on a daily basis, too.
When Is Overtime Pay Required?
The Fair Labor Standards Act is a federal law that establishes overtime requirements in the US. The Act covers most employers and, by the same token, the vast majority of employees. While not every worker is entitled to overtime wages by law, most people are.
For non-exempt workers, who are entitled to overtime, overtime wages must be paid for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek, according to the US Department of Labor. Overtime pay should be calculated as one-and-one-half times your regular rate of pay, which for some employees will include bonuses along with their normal rate of pay.
Federal law doesn't set any limit on how many hours an employee can work in one workweek. You can choose to work as many hours as you want, and in most cases, your employer can require you to work as many hours as they want. But one thing is always true: if you work more than 40 hours in one workweek, and aren't exempt from overtime pay, you should be paid extra for those additional hours.
What Is A Workweek Under Federal Law?
Federal law defines one workweek as "a fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 hours," which is equal to seven consecutive periods of 24 hours. Obviously, that's not quite the same as a calendar week, which starts on one Sunday and ends the next Sunday.
Lots of employees have workweeks that start on a Tuesday or Wednesday (or any other day of the week, for that matter), and some people's workweeks start late at night. These differences are important when it comes to calculating overtime pay.
Overtime wages must be calculated based on an employee's customary workweek. So if your week starts on a Tuesday at 10 pm, it should end the next Tuesday at 10 pm, making up a total span of 168 hours. If you work more than 40 hours during that time period, you should be paid overtime wages for the extra hours. This requirement is crucial, since many employers try to cheat the system by moving overtime hours to a separate workweek. People who work non-traditional hours or workweeks are most at risk for this type of labor abuse.
Can Workweeks Be Averaged Together?
No. Workweeks can't be averaged together for the purposes of calculating overtime pay.
Companies often try to average two weeks worth of hours together to avoid paying their workers overtime. Let's say you work 50 hours in one workweek, but only work 30 hours the next workweek. Your employer might try to average those two weeks together, by adding 50 hours to 30 hours, and then dividing the total 80 hours by 2 weeks. That comes out to 40 hours per week and, if you'd actually worked 40 hours each week, your employer wouldn't need to pay you any overtime. But that's not what you actually worked. The first week, you worked 50 hours and you have a legal right to overtime pay for the 10 overtime hours that you worked.
Averaging two work weeks together to calculate overtime pay is illegal. That's true even if you get paid every two weeks.
Puerto Rico is exceptional in many ways, not least of which are its labor laws. Overtime in Puerto Rico must be paid for any hours worked over 8 in a day. Double time is required for hours worked on a statutory rest day. On a weekly basis, workers in Puerto Rico are entitled to overtime for any hours worked over 40, but it has to be paid at double time, not time-and-a-half.
You can find an easy-to-use chart for these state overtime laws at the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Is Overtime Automatic For Work On Weekends Or Holidays?
Federal law treats every day of the week the same. Saturdays and Sundays, along with holidays, are all treated equally for the purposes of overtime. There's no federal requirement to pay workers extra for working on a weekend, unless the hours worked push an employee over the 40 hour threshold for overtime.
Do You Have To Pay Overtime?


In order to have the happy and healthy relationship I know you want and deserve you have to make a change.
With one little word you can make a dramatic change in the results you get from your current relationships.
Change is necessary because only through new actions can you create new results. Doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
I know you're not crazy but what is a little bit crazy is how long you've been holding on the multiple excuses keeping you single instead of just letting yourself date happily.
So the change that you will have to make isn't a big one. It shouldn't be scary at all. It's one simple word that will make the biggest difference in your love life right now.
The world works by the compound effect. The same action done over and over can make an incredible difference. The first time you become angry with someone isn't the end of the world or the relationship. But every time you become angry with someone you build more and more resentment against them.
Without forgiveness multiple resentments build up over time.
When you are upset by something someone has done or said, here is a novel idea: forgive them.
If someone calls later than they say the will: forgive them.
If a co-worker hurts your feelings: forgive them.
If you feel disrespected by your date: forgive them.
The inability to "let things go" is a common quality of the single men and women that I come across. Worst than holding a grudge against others many people, regardless of relationship status, have a hard and fixed grudge against themselves.
From childhood wounds to yesterday's foibles we fail to let go.
It's ok to admit that you have a laundry list of things you haven't forgiven yourself for; one that you continue to add to on a daily basis. You're not alone.
For trivial wrongs like being late, losing our temper or even telling a bad joke we hate ourselves.
But what if instead of getting angry with yourself for small, forgettable actions you used a new word: forgive.
If you're late for a meeting, which I constantly am, instead of being frustrated forgive yourself.
What forgiveness does is allow new rules to be written. It breaks the compound effect of negative self-talk and resentment. It breaks the pattern that convinces us we should always be angry or respond negatively.
Forgiveness is a powerful tool that can change how you feel, act and think about yourself and others.
Forgiveness can alter your state from one of anger to one of peace.
Forgiveness is an immediate solution to pain and frustration and if you don't believe me just try it.
Forgive yourself for what you've done in the past.
Forgive others for what you think they've done to you.
Write a meaningful and genuine letter of forgive to yourself. Forgive yourself every day for something. Add forgiveness to your vocabulary. Instead of getting angry, forgive. It will make a huge difference. I promise.
Sometimes I think people get the misconception that forgiveness is about the other person. That we're somehow saying that what they've done to us is ok.
Forgiveness is not for the other person. It does not let them off the hook for what they've done. Forgiveness is for us. And conversely, not forgiving only damages us. By not forgiving we continue to hold onto the pain and hurt. By forgiving we let it go. Forgiveness is about compassion for others and ourselves. And we can still hold someone accountable for their actions and forgive them.
The ability to forgive isn't something that happens overnight. It's a process. Something we have to learn to do if we're not already in the habit of doing it. Thank you.
Thank you Paul. I think that's a very accurate interpretation. What we feel and how we express it has alot to do with what we're holding onto inside. Forgiveness isn't a pass for those who hurt you it's acknowledging what happened then letting go. great comment.

LAS CRUCES — Jesus Quiroz, 36, of Tucson, Arizona, pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in Las Cruces, to cocaine trafficking charges arising from the seizure of 72.1 kilograms (158.95 pounds) of cocaine at the New Mexico Port of Entry near Lordsburg.
Quiroz was arrested on Sept. 9, 2016, on a criminal complaint charging him with possession of more than 72 kilograms of cocaine with intent to distribute in Hidalgo County. According to the complaint, Quiroz was arrested after law enforcement officers at the New Mexico Port of Entry on Interstate 10 in Lordsburg seized 61 individually wrapped packages containing more than 72 kilograms of cocaine from a tractor and trailer in which Quiroz was traveling. At the time of his arrest, Quiroz was on probation for a state cocaine trafficking conviction in Arizona.
Quiroz subsequently was indicted on Dec. 14, 2016, and charged in a two-count indictment with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, and possession of visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. According to the indictment, Quiroz committed the crimes on Sept. 9, 2016, in Hidalgo County.
During Thursday's proceedings, Quiroz pled guilty to Count 1 of the indictment charging him with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. In entering the guilty plea, Quiroz admitted that on Sept. 9, 2016, he drove a commercial vehicle containing 72.1 kilograms of cocaine into the Lordsburg Port of Entry. Quiroz further admitted that he intended to deliver the cocaine to another person.
At sentencing, Quiroz faces a statutory mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years and a maximum of life in federal prison. He remains in custody pending a sentencing hearing which has yet to be scheduled.
This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the New Mexico State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Brock Taylor of the U.S. Attorney's Las Cruces Branch Office is prosecuting the case.

Een sulky is een lichte tweewielige kar die vooral in de drafsport gebruikt wordt. Het paard, meestal een speciaal voor dat doel gefokte draver, wordt voor de sulky gespannen.

Tussen beide wielen bevindt zich een verbinding met een zitting waarop de pikeur zit. Het paard loopt in het lamoen (of: disselraam). Zijn borsttuig is met strengen verbonden aan de sulky. Het paard wordt bestuurd door middel van leidsels.

Een wedstrijdsulky weegt hoogstens dertig kilo en rijdt op luchtbanden. De spaken zijn voor de veiligheid meestal afgedekt met kunststofschijven. De modefight is een lichte sulky met korte lamoenstangen. De longshaft is meestal iets zwaarder gebouwd en heeft langere lamoenstangen.

Trainingssulky's zijn meestal ook zwaarder uitgevoerd en bieden soms plaats aan een tweede persoon, die een jong paard aan de hand kan laten meelopen.
