College “Packed with meaningful information to grow your professional career, this book is worth a thorough read.” Dr. Nido Qubein President, High Point University Chairman, Great Harvest Bread Co. “No one should remain jobless after reading this book”. Murtaza Hashwani Chief Executive Pearl-Continental & Marriott Hotel chains, Pakistan ”I’ve had the good fortune of working with Ashraf and always believed that his huge reservoir of talent would shine in every endeavor.

Packed with invaluable advice and techniques, this book will help you build value in the most important piece of the sales equation - YOU. Highly recommended!” Mike Brooks Author of, The Real Secrets of the Top 20% “Ashraf has clearly articulated the first step to selling success.

Universities should make The Craft of Selling “Yourself” a part of their syllabus.” Siddique Shahid Noor Islamic Bank, Dubai “Ashraf Chaudhry in his book The Craft of Selling “Yourself” has not only put in his professional life’s experiences but has also shared his academic learning which he acquired through the years due to his passion for reading. He has narrated only those experiences that he successfully tested during his career. I’ve in my life seen and browsed at a few self-help books. I've found them to be very academic in nature and have never had the desire to apply any of the suggestions given in the books, this book however is such that you’ll want to try all the recommendations made with the confidence that they’ll work. This book is a must read for all professionals who’re in the job market whether they’re starting their career or are in the middle of their careers, for those who’re close to retiring they should read to learn how to extend their career by putting together a Big Bang Letter ensuring an audience with the top man.

This is an excellent book on preparing young graduates for making a roaring entry in the job market.” Farooq Ahmed, Head of Sales UBL Funds, Pakistan “The Craft of Selling “Yourself” comes from the core of Ashraf’s heart and is the real essence of his experiences through which he morphed from being a loser to an extremely successful professional in the shortest possible timeframe. Knowing Ashraf for the last sixteen years and especially during the years of his bewilderment, I couldn’t point out a bit of exaggeration in what he has said in this book. I remain confident that this book will prove to be one of most invaluable contributions to the well being of young graduates – more specifically, business graduates.” Ihsan Ullah Ihsan, Head – Corp. Banking Pak Brunei Investment Company “Ashraf has provided a powerful tools kit to young aspiring graduates as well as corporate executives to catapult themselves to their ideal jobs.” Abdul Mateen Khan General Manager, Saudi Pak Bank “The Craft of Selling “Yourself” will help and inspire young graduates as well as senior executives to land on jobs they had been aspiring in the past.” Rizwan Munir Emirates Insurance Company, UAE “Ashraf has touched upon a very important subject which most of the experienced professionals often forget!

CUNNINGLY SWEATED: CREATION, MEMORY, AND TIME IN FAULKNER’S MOSQUITOES by JOSEPH MORECRAFT, IV Under the Direction of Pearl McHaney, PhD ABSTRACT This study focuses on the early fiction of William Faulkner, particularly Mosquitoes. Understood in critical context, this novel suffers from retrospective bias. That is, I believe that the brilliant work that immediately (and continually) succeeded this novel provided a critical comparison that made it impossible to ascribe the appropriate value that this second novel truly deserves. Mosquitoes was not only a necessary portal and stepping stone to his later/greater fiction, but it also stands on its own as a brilliant experiment allowing Faulkner to free himself from bonds of fragmented mimesis by submerging himself in his own social, literary, theological, and psychological influences, both past and present. Faulkner created a balance between the tension he felt of a traditional Christianity that was deeply ingrained into his southern psyche and a modern influence that consisted of Nietzsche, Freud, Bergson, and others.

    ALMANAQUE A pausa que refresca A Coca-Cola sempre se posicionou como uma marca que busca investir em cam- panhas publicitárias bem feitas e com slogans fortes. Um dos mais memoráveis de sua história é “A pausa que refresca”. Criado em 1929, é considerado pela revista Ad Age como o segundo melhor slogan do século XX (depois de Pense Pequeno, da Volkswagen). Nos anos 1920, o presidente da Coca-Cola, Robert Woodruff, via seu produto como mais do que um refrigerante comum. Woodruff esperava posicionar a bebida, entre a crescente população norte-americana, cada vez mais urbana e industrial, como uma das coisas prazerosas da vida - um descanso do ritmo acelerado que estava tomando conta dos EUA. Archie Lee, um redator da agência D'Arcy, recebeu a tarefa de interpretar a ideia de Woodruff. Em 1923, Lee escreveu o slogan "Pare e se refresque," acompanhado pela frase “Nossa nação é a mais ocupada no mundo. Do café da manhã ao jantar, não há fm para o trabalho”. Achando a campanha muito negativa, em 1929 Lee refnou o slogan, com a ajuda de Woodruff', para “A pausa que refresca”. A frase apareceu pela primeira vez em um anúncio com três mulheres em uma fonte de refrigerante. "A pausa que refresca” foi lançada apenas alguns meses antes da crise da Queda da Bolsa de Valores de 1929. No entanto, a Coca-Cola teve um período de grande expansão de mercado. Exceto por uma perda de 30% nos lucros em 1932, a com- panhia teve vendas recordes durante cada ano da década de 1930.

Pero esta vez esa sensación quedó incompleta. Acababa de ver a un lado del camino en la escarpa por donde íbamos tres árboles que debían de servir de entrada a un paseo cubierto; no era la primera vez que veía yo aquel dibujo que formaban los tres árboles, y aunque no pude encontrar en mi memoria el lugar de donde parecían haberse escapado, sin embargo, me di cuenta de que me había sido muy familiar en tiempos pasados; de suerte que como mi espíritu titubeó entre un año muy lejano y el momento presente, los alrededores de Balbec vacilaron también, y me entraron dudas de si aquel paseo no era una ficción, Balbec un sitio donde nunca estuve sino en imaginación, la señora de Villeparisis un personaje de novela, y los tres árboles añosos, la realidad esa con que se encuentra uno al alzar la vista del libro que se estaba leyendo y que nos describía un ambiente en el cual se nos figuró que nos hallábamos de verdad.

E quando le relazioni umane cambiano, c’è un contemporaneo cambiamento nella religione, nel comportamento, nella politica, e nella letteratura. […] E così si è iniziato a fracassare e a distruggere. È ciò che sentiamo tutto intorno a noi, nelle poesie e nei romanzi e nelle biografie, perfino negli articoli di giornale e nei saggi, il rumore di cose rotte e cadenti, sfondate e distrutte. Queste frasi, in seguito pubblicate in un saggio dal titolo Mr Bennet and Mrs Brown, venivano pronunciate da Virginia Woolf il 18 maggio 1924 durante una conferenza all’Heretics Club di Cambridge in occasione di un incontro sul tema Personaggi nella narrativa contemporanea. L’Heretics Club non era un circolo accademico - oggi potrebbe essere definito un centro culturale “alternativo” - ma era comunque frequentato da alcune delle maggiori personalità del tempo come Bertrand Russell, John Maynard Keynes e George Bernard Shaw. Le riflessioni della Woolf permettevano di comprendere la frattura che attraversava non solo differenti generazioni di scrittori, ma un’intera epoca.

THE FAMILY OF JACOB 8. BARTON 9 I have gathered this material for n1y o,:vn family record, collecting what I deemed of probable interest to n1y immediate relatives and of futur_e value to my children. l\'Ieager as it is, it has not been ob­ tained without much effort, and I print it to secure at once its preser­ vation and its enlargen1ent. In presenting copies to a limited number of correspondents and n1ore distant relatives, I offer no apology for its lack either of con1pleteness or proportion. Such as I have I give, hoping that it may be of service to some outside the circle of those for whom it is primarily intended. The record is much more full in the family of Eleazar than in that of the other sons of vVillian1 Barton, and I am able to present an excellent portrait of hirn by n1y friend lVIr A. M. Willard, as well as a portrait of each of his children who married. I have included such portraits as I could obtain of other descendents, together with brief biographical notes of collateral lines. I shall be glad if those receiving this book will send me further inf6rmation on any subjects relating to the Barton or allied famlies.
