Meet Sergio Pages, a half Cuban, half Puerto Rican from the Bronx who's as American as apple pie. And, he thought he was living the American dream: hot wife with whom he enjoys copious amounts of sex, great family, wonderful home, thriving jewelry business, hunting place in the woods and not a care in the world. Until, that is, his doctor tells him he'll be dead within five years if he doesn't lose weight. Did I mention he was also morbidly obese? Sergio opted for a drastic solution: gastric bypass surgery. Little did he know that weight wouldn't be all he ended up losing. His wife leaves him and the kids, and then his jewelry store is robbed. To make matters worse—if they could be worse—the police are targeting him as the prime suspect in the case and his insurance company won't pay out.Based on a true story, “Karma's a Bitch” tells how Sergio picks himself up, solves the crime and hands the criminals over to the police—and learns a thing or two about himself along the way. He proves the American spirit is still alive and kicking, and that when the going gets tough, some Americans are still tough enough to get going.

The book “PHILOSOPHY OF NOTHING” is a collection of essays that are trying to send the message that in a relationship you can be happy even if you don't have a real relationship togheter, in a clasical way, but also be unhappy when you have everything togheter. Having everything, but actually having nothing … having nothing, but actually having everything is an idea that we should meditate on it. We live in a world of unhappy marriages, that should be totally redefined, but actually are dying little by little, day by day ... with no change from any of the 2 partners. Wainting for NOTHING for years, doing NOTHING … but expecting everything from the other side. Love is not math and will never be. Love is not a business and will be never be. Philosophy of NOTHING is trying to define the beautiful side, but also the dark side of the love stories. The book does not have any architecture and is just a collection of essays. And maybe the only message of the book is quite simple: to be happpy you probably need NOTHING, but enjoy the present moment with the person you are in the story. Daring to do it … you don't need anything, cause you actually have everything, the love story itself.

Any behavior that arouses, as swearing does, controversy, disagreement, disdain, shock, and indignation as often as it imbues passion, sincerity, intimacy, solidarity, and jocularity should be an obvious target of in-depth scholarship. Rigorous, scholarly investigation of the practice of swearing acknowledges its social and cultural significance, and allows us to discover and better understand the historical, psychological, sociological, and linguistic aspects (among others) of swearwords and swearword usage. The present volume brings together a range of themes and issues central to the existing knowledge of swearing and considers these in two key ‘new’ arenas, that is, in languages other than English, and/or in contexts and media other than spoken interaction. Many of the chapters analysed are based on large and robust collections of data, such as corpora or questionnaire responses, which allow for patterns of swearing to emerge. In other chapters, personally observed instances of swearing comprise the focus, allowing for a close analysis of the relationship between sociolinguistic context and pragmatic function. In each chapter, the cultural aspects of swearing are considered, ultimately affirming the importance of the study of swearing, and further establishing the legitimacy of swearing as a target of research.
