On 20 January 1931, Mrs Julia Wallace was brutally battered to death in the parlour of her home in Anfield, Liverpool. In April of that year, William Herbert Wallace, Julia's husband, was found guilty of her seemingly motiveless murder and sentenced to death by hanging. Yet on 19 May 1931, the sentence was overturned at the Court of Appeal. Since that day, the question of who killed Julia Wallace has remained unanswered. Now, John Gannon has undertaken painstaking research of all relevant records, including the police and legal files. Building on the work of prior investigators of this famous and fiendishly intriguing case, Gannon is able to present a fresh analysis, offering new evidence, revealing answers and convincing proofs. A compelling examination of what transpired leading up to, during and following the night of the gruesome murder, The Killing of Julia Wallace is the bloody, tragic and shocking story of what happened, who did it, and why.

We're entering an age of information overload. Almost every company in the modern World is trying to use social media. Most are terrible at it. It doesn't matter how many "likes" you have on Facebook or followers on Twitter. They are not the end game. Your product is. Social media is a tool to engage the customer, build a relationship, develop trust, and eventually sell your product. Think of it this way. We ignore advertisements, skip TV commercials, and search engines are a dying breed. People don't listen to messages unless they have a reason to care. Yours could be the most powerful message in the world and it won't spread unless you package it properly and give others a reason to care. You have an idea, a service, or a product.
