Sinopsis

The book "West Port Murders" reveals the horrible chain of events during ten months in 1828 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Due to the rising interest in dissection and anatomy in Edinburg and significant sums of money paid for human corpses by doctors, two men, William Burke and William Hare, committed a series of killings, which became known as West Port or Burke and Hare murders. Their interest in murders rose after they sold the dead body of their lodger to a local doctor, Robert Knox, and received a solid amount of money for that. After another lodger in their house got a fever, they killed her in fear that her disease would deter other people from renting rooms in their house. They sold her body to the same doctor and went on with 15 more murders until the police finally caught them. This book contains the complete account of the murders committed by Burke and his associates and all the extraordinary circumstances connected with them. It also includes the description of Burke's trial.

    On the morning of November 4, 2019, a caravan of women and children was ambushed by masked gunmen on a desolate stretch of road in northern Mexico controlled by the Sinaloa drug cartel. Firing semi-automatic weapons, the attackers killed nine people and gravely injured five more. The victims were members of the LeBaron and La Mora communities—fundamentalist Mormons whose forebears broke from the LDS Church and settled in Mexico when their religion outlawed polygamy in the late nineteenth century. The massacre produced international headlines for weeks, and prompted President Donald Trump to threaten to send in the US Army. 
     
     
     
    In The Colony, Sally Denton delves into the complex story of the LeBaron clan. Their homestead—Colonia LeBaron—is a portal into the past, a place that offers a glimpse of life within a polygamous community on an arid and dangerous frontier in the mid-1800s, though with smartphones and machine guns. Rooting her narrative in written sources as well as interviews with anonymous women from LeBaron itself, Denton unfolds an epic, disturbing tale that spans the first polygamist emigrations to Mexico through the LeBarons' internal blood feud in the 1970s and up to the family's recent alliance with the NXIVM sex cult, whose now-imprisoned leader, Keith Raniere, may have based his practices on the society he witnessed in Colonia LeBaron.

    In the vast, unforgiving expanse of Alaska's wilderness, where the biting cold conceals secrets beneath layers of snow and ice, a chilling predator stalked the remote communities, earning the moniker "Alaska's Butcher Baker." "Frozen Shadows: The Hunt for Alaska's Butcher Baker" by Myles Henman is a gripping true-crime narrative that delves into the harrowing investigation of one of the most elusive and ruthless killers to ever haunt the Last Frontier. 
    Myles Henman meticulously reconstructs the terrifying series of murders that sent shockwaves through Alaska's tight-knit towns, where neighbors relied on each other for survival against the harsh elements. As bodies began to surface in isolated areas, the community was gripped by fear, unsure of who among them could harbor such darkness. Detective Sarah McAllister, a seasoned investigator with a relentless pursuit of justice, leads the charge to uncover the truth behind the brutal killings. 
    Navigating the challenges of Alaska's rugged terrain and extreme weather, McAllister and her team employ cutting-edge forensic techniques and psychological profiling to track the elusive butcher. Henman masterfully portrays the intense pressure on law enforcement to solve the case before the killer strikes again, highlighting the personal sacrifices and emotional toll on those dedicated to bringing the predator to justice. 
    As the investigation unfolds, "Frozen Shadows" reveals the intricate dance between hunter and hunted, exploring the complex motivations and twisted mind of the Butcher Baker. Through interviews with survivors, law enforcement officials, and experts in criminal psychology, Henman provides a multifaceted perspective on the nature of evil and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable horror.

    How do you encourage someone to eagerly make a purchase from you? How can you ensure the sale? 
      
    The most effective way to gain someone’s trust and motivate them to buy from you or join your team is to "carefully enter the conversation already happening in their mind." By doing so, you help your prospect see the value of your service through the information you provide, leading them to recognize their need for what you offer. 
      
    I once heard a quote that says, "People don't like to be sold to, but they pretend to buy." 
      
    Numerous sales skills and manipulation techniques exist for building trust with potential customers superficially. However, the most powerful way to influence and persuade is by understanding their thoughts, feelings, desires, and the problems they seek to solve, particularly in your area of expertise. Unless you possess mind-reading abilities, the best approach is to ask open-ended, empowering questions. This helps build rapport and engages in meaningful discussion to guide them toward the desired outcome, linking their needs with the benefits and features of your product, service, and your "why." 
      
    People have a deep-seated love for stories, something we've been exposed to since childhood. The most effective way to inspire rather than coerce is by sharing your personal story—why you are in the business and the benefits you, your family, and your clients have experienced. It may seem cliché, but being a "product of the product" and offering relevant testimonials that align with the answers you obtained from your open-ended questions can be powerful.
