Defendants SULTAN WARRIS KHAN (“SULTAN KHAN”), ASIF 5 MOHAMMAD KHAN (“ASIF KHAN”), and STEVEN CONRAD VEEN (“VEEN”) were 6 officers and directors of NewCom, Inc. (“NewCom”), a computer 7 manufacturing and distribution company previously located in 8 Westlake Village, California. In 1994, NewCom initially began as 9 a wholly owned subsidiary of Aura Systems, Inc. (“Aura”). In 10 September 1997, NewCom spun off from Aura and held an initial 11 public offering of its stock. Thereafter, NewCom’s stock traded 12 on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated 13 Quotation system ("NASDAQ"). Just after the initial public 14 offering, the market capitalization for NewCom’s stock exceeded 15 $140 million. By February 1999, the market capitalization of its 16 stock fell below $5 million. 17 2. Defendants SULTAN KHAN, ASIF KHAN, and VEEN deceived the 18 United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the 19 investing public about NewCom’s true financial condition and 20 concealed from the SEC and the investing public how defendants 21 SULTAN KHAN and ASIF KHAN had falsified the books of NewCom. 22 3. Defendants SULTAN KHAN and ASIF KHAN, together with an 23 outside director of the company, Alexander Remington, engaged in 24 an over-billing and kickback scheme through which these two 25 defendants misappropriated more than $1 million in corporate 26 assets from NewCom and laundered those proceeds through a law 27 firm’s client trust account. 28 2 1 4. Defendants SULTAN KHAN and ASIF KHAN, together with 2 Alexander Remington, engaged in a scheme to defraud Actrade 3 Capital Inc. (“Actrade”), a finance company used by NewCom in the 4 fall and winter of 1998 to finance purchases of goods from 5 suppliers, by falsely representing that certain fraudulent 6 invoices in excess of $1.1 million represented genuine sales, 7 which caused Actrade to wire this money to a NewCom supplier. 8 Persons and Entities 9 5. From approximately 1990 through early 1994, Nuvo 10 Corporation of America, Inc. (“Nuvo”) was a Southern California 11 company that distributed computer components and peripherals. In 12 or about April 1994, Nuvo filed for bankruptcy. 13 6. During the time relevant to this indictment, Aura was a 14 corporation with its headquarters in El Segundo, California. 15 Aura’s primary business was the development and sale of products 16 that utilized electromagnetic and electro-optical technologies. 17 In or about May 1991, the shares of Aura became listed on NASDAQ 18 under the symbol “AURA.” On or about July 21, 1999, Aura’s 19 shares were delisted from NASDAQ. 20 7. In or about June 1994, NewCom was incorporated in 21 Delaware. NewCom was a wholly owned subsidiary of Aura. After 22 NewCom was incorporated, Aura purchased the assets of Nuvo out of 23 bankruptcy and contributed them to NewCom. NewCom thereafter 24 became a supplier and distributor of computer components and 25 peripherals. On or about September 16, 1997, NewCom became a 26 separate, publicly traded company when its shares began trading 27 on NASDAQ under the symbol “NWCM” after an initial public 28 offering of 2,000,000 shares of common stock. On or about May 3 1 26, 1999, trading in NewCom’s stock was halted, and thereafter 2 the stock was delisted from NASDAQ. From 1994 until it ceased 3 operations in or about May 1999, NewCom was headquartered in Los 4 Angeles County in Westlake Village, California. 5 8. In or about May 1983, Micro Equipment Corporation 6 (“MEC”) was incorporated in Georgia. From 1983 through at least 7 in or about May 1999, MEC was headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, 8 a suburb of Atlanta. MEC was a computer parts and peripherals 9 distributor and a main supplier to NewCom. 10 9. In the 1980s and early 1990s, defendant SULTAN KHAN 11 worked for Computer Peripherals, Inc. (“CPI”). After leaving 12 CPI, he worked for Nuvo. In or about June 1994, defendant SULTAN 13 KHAN was hired by Aura and worked there until in or about 14 September 1994, when he began working for NewCom. Beginning no 15 later than in or about June 1997, defendant SULTAN KHAN was the 16 president, chief executive officer (“CEO”), a director, and 17 chairman of the board of directors of NewCom. 18 10. In the 1980s and early 1990s, defendant ASIF KHAN also 19 worked for CPI. After leaving CPI, he worked for Nuvo. In or 20 about June 1994, defendant ASIF KHAN was hired by Aura and worked 21 there until in or about September 1994, when he began working for 22 NewCom. Beginning no later than in or about June 1997, defendant 23 ASIF KHAN was the executive vice president and a director of 24 NewCom. 25 11. In or about 1984, defendant VEEN was licensed to 26 practice as a certified public accountant (“CPA”) by the State of 27 California. In 1992, after having worked approximately nine 28 years with a firm of certified public accountants, defendant VEEN 4 1 joined Aura as its controller. In or about March 1994, defendant 2 VEEN became Aura’s chief financial officer (“CFO”), a position he 3 held until approximately early 2002. In or before June 1997, 4 defendant VEEN became CFO and a director of NewCom. In 1998 and 5 1999, defendant VEEN used the title of CFO of NewCom when signing 6 financial reports and other filings that NewCom made with the 7 SEC. In 1998, defendant VEEN also used the titles of senior 8 vice-president, vice-president, and principal financial and 9 accounting officer of NewCom, in filings made with the SEC. 10 12. Beginning in the 1980s, Alexander Remington 11 (“Remington”) was an owner and officer of MEC and operated MEC’s 12 business on a day-to-day basis. In or about July 1997, Remington 13 became an outside director of NewCom. Remington remained a 14 NewCom director into 1999. 15 CPI 16 13. In the 1980s and early 1990s, CPI was a Southern 17 California computer peripherals distribution business. A main 18 investor in CPI was an Asian company called Lam Soon. While 19 defendants SULTAN KHAN and ASIF KHAN were employed by CPI, Lam 20 Soon discovered that they, together with their business partner 21 in CPI, were stealing and embezzling from CPI. Thereafter, 22 defendants SULTAN KHAN and ASIF KHAN were forced to resign from 23 CPI. CPI also sued defendants SULTAN KHAN, ASIF KHAN, and their 24 business partner. 25 14. In or about May 1992, CPI entered into a settlement 26 with defendants SULTAN KHAN and ASIF KHAN and their business 27 partner. The written settlement agreement obligated defendants 28 SULTAN KHAN and ASIF KHAN, together with their business partner, 5 1 to make installment payments to pay CPI a total of $2.0 million, 2 to be paid in installments of $20,000 per month. Defendants 3 SULTAN KHAN and ASIF KHAN were thus each required to pay CPI at 4 least $6,667 each month beginning in May 1992 and continuing 5 through approximately September 2000, unless payment of the 6 balance of the $2.0 million obligation was completed at an 7 earlier time. 8 15. Beginning in or about approximately July 1994, 9 defendants SULTAN KHAN and ASIF KHAN retained the services of an 10 attorney with a Los Angeles area law firm (the “law firm”) to 11 facilitate monthly payments to CPI in accordance with their 12 settlement agreement and for other purposes. 13 16. In or about October or November 1995, Remington, the 14 principal of MEC, loaned or otherwise agreed to provide $600,000 15 to defendants SULTAN KHAN and ASIF KHAN. Co-schemer Remington 16 was directed to send this $600,000 to the law firm for deposit 17 into the law firm’s client trust account for the benefit of 18 defendants SULTAN KHAN and ASIF KHAN (the “client trust 19 account”). On or about November 1, 1995, the law firm received 20 this $600,000 from MEC and deposited the money into the client 21 trust account.

  • Longing for the Lost Caliphate
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction The cosmopolitan, scholarly language of Islamic religious discourse cuts across multiple frontiers, constructing a universe of reciprocal benefit to those who master it. This religious discourse is at once flexible and transferable across time and space. Not only did it span the known world of the fourteenth century, but it also persisted across the vicissitudes of political and economic change that separated the premodern from the modern world system. —Muslim Networks from Hajj to Hip Hop, ed. Miriam Cooke and Bruce Lawrence1 Overall, the best historians of memory are like the ogre who looks for human voices and emotions. They capture the haunted images of the past that hover in a given society, the obsession with certain events, periods, or beliefs, and they attempt to understand how and why they made sense to people in the past. — “History and Memory,” Alon Confino2 Working at the Foreign Office in London, a British diplomat reviewed the stunning news emanating from Turkey on March 3, 1924. D. G. Osbourne had just learned of the legislative acts passed by the nascent Turkish Republic’s Grand National Assembly and updated the confidential file before him: The Caliphate of the house of Osman is abolished and all members of the house are to follow the Caliph—an d the late Sultan—int o exile. Their property is to revert to the state. Justice and education are to be entirely purged of their reli- gious associations.

However, it is clear that a desirable level of taxonomic resolution has not yet been attained as their taxonomic assignments are somewhat arbitrary. In this paper, we discuss two lesser-known gecko species, Cyrtopodion baturense (Khan and Baig 1992) and C. walli (Ingoldby 1922). One adult specimen of Cyrtopodion baturense (the only known specimen other than the type series) and a series of 53 C. walli collected by Walter Auffenberg and the Zoological Survey Department of Pakistan (ZSD) and subsequently deposited in the University of Florida Herpetology collection were compared to the type specimens. Specimens were examined for 46 morphological characters and measurements. Cyrtopodion baturense and C. walli are diagnosable and confirmed to be distinct species. Cyrtopodion baturense is known only from the holotype locality of Pasu and the nearby village of Dih, Hunza District, in the Gilgit Agency, Federally Administered Northern Areas (FANA), Pakistan, at 2,438–3,078 m elevations.

That is complex system of accompanying rituals and attributes, it is based on ancient folklore tradition, and in modern conditions it became an important symbol of Turkish national consciousness. An Oil wrestling long enough became a subject of scientific interest; there is a series of books on its history and a lot of papers. At the same time caring publicists note that still we don’t have a satisfactory scientific description of oil wrestling, neither in Turkish nor in other languages. The article presents the results of a study of historical development of oil wrestling, listed in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Symbolic and ritual elements of nowadays oil wrestling and Kırkpınar festival (ağa, cazgır, peşrev, kıspet etc.) were analyzed. Kırkpınar festival came into being in the end of the 19th century, in the period of wrestlers’ tekke system decay, when the well-known masters from Edirne and Constantinople began to participate to the local festival on Hıdırellez, after that it became very popular even on national level.

  • Before the Odalisque: Renaissance Representations of Elite Ottoman Women Heather Madar
    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal 2011, vol. 6 Before the Odalisque: Renaissance Representations of Elite Ottoman Women Heather Madar he much-mythologized harem of the Ottoman sultans occupied a Tcentral place in European Orientalist thought for centuries.1 The harem, presented as an exotic world of forbidden sexuality inhabited by compliant yet sexually voracious women, appears in literature, art, and travel writing. While the most famous expressions of this harem fixa- tion date from later centuries,2 a focus on the harem as libidinous zone is demonstrably present in written sources from the sixteenth century. Yet an exploration of sixteenth-century European images turns up a surprising dearth of imagery in this vein. While Renaissance art lacks the languid odalisques or detailed views of the physical environment of the sultan’s harem familiar from later works, a series of largely overlooked representa- tions of elite Ottoman women do exist. Dating from the mid-sixteenth century, these images feature imagined portraits of sultanas — elite women such as Ottoman princesses, the sultan’s mother (valide sultan), or the sul- tan’s preferred concubine (haseki).3 Hurrem, the wife of sultan Süleyman, and his daughter Mihrimah appear most frequently in this genre. Yet strik- ing differences are immediately evident between their depiction and later, more familiar, views of the harem and harem women. The women shown in the Renaissance tradition were members of the sultan’s harem, yet they are not shown within a harem setting, nor do the images make reference to it. Although they are visually marked as Other, largely through the atten- tion given to their exotic dress, they are also presented as women who are of interest as individuals, possessing status and political significance.

BRUNEI Brunei Darussalam, a small, wealthy monarchy located on the north coast of Borneo, is a sultanate ruled by the same family for 600 years. The 1959 Constitution provided for the first delegation of political power by the late Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin to an appointed council of state, but in 1962 the then Sultan invoked an article of the Constitution that allowed him to assume emergency powers for 2 years. These powers have been regularly renewed, most recently by the current Sultan in July 1996. Although not all of the articles of the Constitution are suspended, the state of emergency places few limits on the Sultan's power. He also serves as Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, Minister of Finance, chancellor of the national university, superintendent general of the Royal Brunei Police Force, and leader of the Islamic faith. The police force, which has responsibility for internal security, reports to the Prime Minister's office, which includes an Internal Security Department, and is firmly under the control of civil authorities.

A. Baloch) From 750 to 1500, three phases are discernible in the political history of these regions. During the first phase, from the mid-eighth until the end of the tenth century, Sind, Baluchis- tan and Multan – with the exception of the interlude of pro-Fatimid ascendency in Mul- tan during the last quarter of the tenth century – all remained politically linked with the cAbbasid caliphate of Baghdad. (Kashmir was ruled, from the eighth century onwards, by the local, independent, originally non-Muslim dynasties, which had increasing political contacts with the Muslim rulers of Sind and Khurasan.) During the second phase – the eleventh and twelfth centuries – all these regions came within the sphere of influence of the powers based in Ghazna and Ghur. During the third phase –from the thirteenth to the early sixteenth century – they partly became dominions of the Sultanate of Delhi, which was in itself an extension into the subcontinent of the Central Asian power base.

  • The Philanthropies of the Sultan's Daughter Ayşe Sultan from the Beginning of the 17Th Century, and Her Waqf's Accounting R
    Muhasebe ve Finans Tarihi Araştırmaları Dergisi Temmuz 2016 (11) THE PHILANTHROPIES OF THE SULTAN’S DAUGHTER AYŞE SULTAN FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE 17TH CENTURY, AND HER WAQF’S ACCOUNTING RECORDS(*) Dr. Fatma Şensoy Marmara University – Turkey Abstract Awqaf (waqf as singular) are founded as charities that have certain laws and that are sustainable, such as fund-dependant, decentralised, voluntary democratic and nongovernmental organizations. At the same time, they are financial institutions that deal with social security, educational, cultural, religious affairs, public works, social aid and health investments. They are inspected by the government despite their financial and administrative autonomies, and these institutions have survived for centuries and provided services to society and enjoyed great monetary success. It is possible to read about their auditing and information about accounting in the Ottoman financial tradition from the books of accounts kept in the awqaf (foundations). The waqf culture has survived for centuries primarily because of this efficient, inspecting recording order. Ayşe Sultan was the daughter of Sultan Murad III (1574-1595) and Safiye (*) Bu bildiri, 25 - 27 Haziran 2016 tarihlerinde Pescara (İtalya)’da yapılan 14.
