Louisa C. Ramos’s New Book El Pillo Del Corazón, A Thought-Provoking Read That Depicts The Unsavory Nature Of Con Men In Romance

0
Page_Publishing_Louisa_C_Ramos

NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book El Pillo del Corazón was created by Louisa C. Ramos. Louisa C. Ramos is an author who loves literature and painting. She also has a passion for the outdoors and different cultures, for she believes she can learn from them.

Louisa C. Ramos said this about her book: “The Rascal of the Heart—a person who passes in love with women via the Internet. When he gets his victim, he first cheats her emotionally, and then he scams her monetarily. The thief has an incredible ability—he appears when the woman is most vulnerable.

It has a very peculiar pattern. It is always compassionate, supportive, and sensitive. It is done as the song of only one man who wanders the world night and day before meeting his victim. He is so persuasive; he says he is looking for a partner and is only in love. That is his only reason to survive. It also makes him believe that he is a reliable man and makes his victim feel very special, so much so that she cannot live without him. When she notices, it is almost always late to leave him. The victim usually compares her emotion as peace and war because it creates a bond and a habit so solid that it is impossible to overcome. It produces a lot of happiness and then leaves a void and deep pain.

The author does not want to interpose or change anyone’s idea; he just wants the world to know that cyber conquest can not only break hearts but also pockets. I collect several cases and countless victims, but only use a few cases.

The rascal pretends to be a soldier who is generally in service, as in these four. He was supposedly serving in Kabul. He talks about how difficult it is to survive there using the argument of peacekeeping for that purpose and pretends to be soldiers knowing how sacrificed heroes can be for the life of this. As an emigrant, you know how hard it is to live in a foreign land. It is not fair that this cheap criminal uses the good name of these people who in turn believe and love their work. In addition to working away from home in a hostile place where life is played, they spend many nights without giving a hug to their children, among other relatives.

The heart catcher has no scruples. He tricks the person into a trip without return, causing them to lose everything. Cheating is so painful because one believes that there is someone interested in one and then disappears, leaving the heart and bank accounts empty. This is like a bad dream, and then you wake up, and it’s almost always late. The author recommends that from time to time, it is better to be old-fashioned and visit clubs to make friends. At least, we are looking at their eyes. Sometimes we can’t know who the scammers are; they may be far away or next to each other. Who knows?”

Published by Page Publishing, Louisa C. Ramos’s new book El Pillo Del Corazón will inspire readers to be aware of predators seeking to beguile their romantic lives and leave them empty and broken emotionally and mentally.

Consumers who wish to be enlightened on the many instances a rascal can trick their targets can purchase El Pill o Del Corazón in any bookstore, or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Texas homes that sold for $1 million or higher from November 2018 to October 2019 increased 4.4% to 5,149 sales, according to the 2019 Texas Luxury Home Sales Report released today by Texas Realtors. The annual report examining housing statistics for luxury homes in the Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio metropolitan areas also showed that total sales of million-dollar and higher homes reached $8.3 billion, a 5.1% increase from the previous year.

Cindi Bulla, 2020 chairman of Texas Realtors, commented, “The Texas luxury home market continues to see healthy growth. In addition to longtime residents enjoying the fruits of the Texas economy, many luxury home buyers are high net worth individuals relocating from high cost states like California, while still others are from outside the U.S. Most find they can buy dramatically more house for the same investment compared to their previous location. Add to that a business-friendly environment, no income taxes, and the finest, most friendly people in the world, and it isn’t any wonder Texas’ luxury homes have global appeal and a strong market outlook.”

From October 2018 to November 2019, luxury homes in Texas accounted for 8.2% of all sales dollar volume.

The median price for Texas luxury homes in the first 10 months of 2019 was $1,375,000, 2.0% higher than the previous year. The average price per square foot for luxury homes was $364, a 7.4% increase from the first 10 months of 2018 and more than triple the $120 average price per square foot for all residential Texas homes.

From January to October 2019, luxury homes in Texas spent an average of 87 days on the market, a decrease of eight days from the same time frame in 2018. On average, luxury homes spend more time on the market than lower-priced homes.

Bulla concluded, “The market for luxury homes is considerably different than homes at lower price points. Buyers and sellers can make mistakes when determining market value, as even a single amenity can drastically change a luxury property’s value. By working with a Texas Realtor who has experience in these types of properties, both buyers and sellers can ensure that they’re making a sound decision.”

SODA STEREO, the legendary rock band, comes together for the Gracias Totales – Soda Stereo Tour 2020

Soda_Stereo_Dates_Tour

MIAMI, Dec. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Loud And Live and Move Concerts announced today the sale of tickets to what began as a mere rumor in the social media pages of Argentine rockers Zeta Bosio and Charly Alberti: the reunion of the remaining members of Soda Stereo, along with a constellation of great rock stars, in the Gracias Totales – Soda Stereo Tour 2020. The tour will honor the “present absence of Gustavo Cerati,” as his bandmates have labeled it, and of course, the fans who miss him so much. Scheduled for 2020, the iconic bands final tour will perform their legendary hits in select arenas throughout the United States.

After Gustavo Cerati’s historic last tour in North America, where the band sold out two dates with more than 25,000 tickets at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, the band said goodbye to the stage in 2007. Now over a decade later, the Spanish Rock giants return on a historic tour that will take them to New York, Miami, Houston, and Los Angeles to rekindle the work of Soda Stereo and pay tribute to Cerati.

The final tour will feature renowned rock artists who will be joining the tour as special guests in person, or through an astonishing and innovative audiovisual format. The impressive line-up of special guests, who will be announced at a later date, will be joining Soda Stereo’s members as they bring back to the stage classics such as Trátame Suavemente, Persiana Americana, De Música Ligera among many others, in what promises to be a one-of-a-kind series of performances.

“In life there are moments to laugh, to cry, to get excited. To show gratitude with love and respect. We want to celebrate these songs. Share in their good vibes together. Friends from everywhere will accompany us.” With these words from an open letter shared by Soda Stereo’s Zeta Bosio and Charly Alberti on social media, they announced what seemed impossible: a new tour of the immortal Soda Stereo.

April 14, 2020 – New York – Barclays Center
