I would like to dedicate this book to my parents, Sayed A. Hashimi

and Sohayla Hashimi. They have sacriﬁ ced more than I could

imagine in order to give us (their 4 sons) the opportunity to succeed.

Without their sacriﬁ ces, guidance, and inspiration I am sure that

I would not have written my second book; in fact I have no idea

where I would be now. Thank You.

—Sayed Hashimi

I’d like to dedicate the book to my family - Rosanna, Roy, Carey,

and Kate and to my partner Vanessa.
