In the interbellum Poland, headquarters of the Polish Army frequently organized huge military manoeuvres on the territory of the Volhynian Voivodeship. These war games would take place in early fall, right after harvest. Most probably, they were organized on the real estates, whose owners were mostly Polish members of upper clases (szlachta). Ukrainian peasants, who made majority of inhabitants of Volhynia, frequently complained about these events.

The biggest of such manoeuvres took place between September 5 and 14, 1938 somewhere along the Horyn river. Several units participated in it, such as 3rd, 13th, 21st, 27th and 30th Infantry Divisions, Volhynian, Kresowa and Wilno Cavalry brigades as well as a motorized brigade under Colonel Stanis?aw Maczek. The latter one was hastily transported in mid-September 1938 to Upper Silesia, soon afterwards it took part in the Annexation of Zaolzie.

This is a list of known fatal bear attacks that occurred in North America by decade in reverse chronological order. In this list three species of bear are recognized: the Brown Bear (Ursus arctos), the American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) and the Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus). For purposes of this list, Brown Bear includes the Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), the Kodiak Bear and the Mexican Brown Bear. Between 1900 and 2003 there were about 52 recorded deaths due to black bears, 50 due to brown bears and 5 due to polar bears. The most recent data is the most reliable and complete, but does not necessarily include all fatal attacks that have occurred in North America. Prior to recent decades bear attacks were not well documented, particularly those which took place in isolated regions. As a result there were more attacks and fatalities than have been recorded as shown here, particularly in Canada and Alaska.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

Christian Life Centre (commonly abbreviated to CLC) is generally a name given to churches that are affiliated with the Assemblies of God in Australia, a Pentecostal denomination in Australia. The CLC stream of churches started when Frank Houston moved to Australia in 1977 and planted Sydney Christian Life Centre. From this church several others were planted, as Sydney CLC was the model church.

Sydney Christian Life Centre

Sydney Christian Life Centre was a Pentecostal Christian church, affiliated with the Assemblies of God, that ran from 1977 to 1999 and is now the “City Campus” of Hillsong Church.

History

Sydney Christian Life Centre was poineered in July 1977 by Pastor Frank Houston after he moved to Australia from New Zealand. Initially a home group, it grew large enough to rent “Sherbooke Hall” in Double Bay on Sundays. From there it moved to renting a function hall in the Koala Motor Inn in Darlinghurst, and from there to leased premises next door - the ground floor and part of the second floor of the building at the corner of Goulburn and Riley streets. Eventually, it moved to premises in Waterloo.

The church grew steadily and saw many other churches planted using the “Christian Life Centre” name. In its first decade it was independent and not associated with any denomination. Houston’s son Brian joined the team in 1978 and in 1980 left to plant a few churches (including Hills Christian Life Centre in 1983). By 1981 the church had grown to 1,000 people.

Frank Houston announced on 14 February 1999 that the church would come under the leadership of his son Brian Houston after he confessed to sexually abusing a teenage boy 30 years earlier. Sydney Christian Life Centre then merged with Hills Christian Life Centre to form Hillsong Church. Sydney Christian Life Centre is now known as the “City Campus” of Hillsong Church and is now hoping to relocate the church from Waterloo to a new facility to be built at Rosebery.

Music

Sydney Christian Life Centre released an album titled “Rain” in the early 1990s.

Mohan is a famous Brahmin clan from the Punjab. They are one of the seven clans of the Mohyals who are Saraswat Brahmins of the Punjab. The six other clans are Bali, Bhimwal, Chhibber, Datt, Lau, and Vaid. Punjabi Brahmins other than Mohyals include Barahis(Twelvers), Bawanjais(Fifty-twoers) and Athwans(Eighters).

Gotra

Mohans are the descendants of Rishi Kashyapa, one among the seven Saptarishis from whom they get their Kashyap gotra. He was the fabled founder of the Kashmir region. A long line of his descendants was devoted to the worship of snakes and enjoyed supremacy in Kashmir.

Origins

After the conclusion of the Kurukshetra War, Ashwathama went into exile and one of his associates was named Mohan. Some Mohyal historians consider him to be the initiator of the Mohan sect.

Kashmir was the homeland of the Mohans, so it could be possible that its original rulers were the ancestors of these people. The Mohans ruled Kashmir for two hundred and fifty three years, from 602 to 855.

Durlabh Drohin

Durlabh Drohin was a stable keeper in the court of Baladitya, the king of Kashmir. The king married him to his only daughter and made him the heir to the throne, as he had no son. When Baladitya died in 602 AD, Durlab Drohin succeeded him. Shortly after his coronation he celebrated his second marriage, this time with the daughter of Raja Chach, the Chhibber ruler of Sindh. From this marriage he had a son, Virambhak, whom he proclaimed as heir.

Lalitaditya

Virambhak’s third son, Lalitaditya ascended to the throne in 699 AD and ruled for thirty-six eventful years. He extended his dominion up to Konkan in the South after conquering Kanauj, Malwa and Gujarat. He was an ambitious man and he founded a new city called Lalitpur, where he built a majestic sun temple.

After the death of Lalita Aditya, there was chaos and half a dozen rulers changed hands in a period of ten years, till a great monarch named Jeaped rose on the scene. He ruled with great distinction for forty-three years from 746 to 789. He brought fame and glory to his reign and was credited with extensive conquests of new territories including Nepal.

With the demise of king Jeaped, the glory and grandeur of the Mohans’ dynastic rule in Kashmir waned and whittled down. His son and half a dozen incumbents who followed him squandered away their of the family kingdom and led to its disintegration. The rule of the Mohans was finally wrapped up in 855 AD.

Pothi Rai Seegadh and Jangnama Mohan

The early history of the Mohan clan was documented in the form of a book called Pothi Rai Seegadh. A later version appeared at the turn of the century under the title of Jangnama Mohan.

The Mohans migrate to Mathura

Russel Stracey’s history of the Mohans starts from the time of their migration to the holy city of Mathura. Curiously, Mathura at different times became the camping ground of almost castes of Mohyals. Being the divine fortress of peace, it offered ready shelter to those who were driven to its portals in distress or struck by calamity, as was often the case with the Mohyals. They became luckless fugitives, time and again, due to political turmoil or following attacks. Morover as militant Brahmins, they were called upon to defend the holy city against barbarians and iconoclasts.

In Delhi

In the fourteenth century, Bhagwan Das made Mathura his home. He had three sons named Gokul, Mathura Das and Hari Kishan. Hari Kishan later on shifted to Varanasi. His son, Abinashi Ram went on a pilgrimage of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers and reached as far as Delhi. At Delhi, he won the favour of Timur, who appointed him as his Dewan. The two sons of another Mohan dignitary, Maya Das were made commanders of the royal army.

Dhankot

When Timur departed from Delhi after defeating Mahmud Tughlaq and ravaging Delhi, he appointed Sultan Mohammed Khan as the surrogate ruler. It was during his reign that Dewan Hira Nand and Dewan Rai Mohan rebuilt the town of Dhankot on the banks of the river Indus.

Dhankot on the Indus was the ancient home of the Mohans. It was during the raid of Mahmud of Ghazni on India that Raja Sukhpal Mohan of Peshawar converted to Islam. Mahmud’s son, Sultan Masood ousted the Mohans after capturing Dhankot. They lived in the hills in unsettled conditions under the protection of the Gakhars and later shifted to the plains.

Mamdot

Rai Thakur was a famous Mohan during the period of Alauddin Khilji. His son, Jaswant Rao adopted the Muslim faith in 1306 and became a favourite of the ruler. He was able to arrange the grant of a big jagir in Mamdot for the five sons of his deceased brother. Mamdot became a prestigious Dheri of the Mohans and a nostalgic symbol of the entire clan.

Babar, the first Mughal emperor, appointed an eminent Mohan, Harjas Rai as his Dewan. This was a period of glory for the Mohans as several members of clan shot into the limelight and were conferred with titles and jagirs. Mamdot in district Ferozepur remained their bastion of power.

In a short time Mamdot became such a stronghold of the Mohans that Humayun sent a large force to curb them. The Mohans fought bravely but were outnumbered. In the savage war, they were totally wiped out. The only ones to survive were an aged family patriarch, Baba Sahib and his son, Sobha Ram Thakur.

Sobha Ram

Sobha Ram was taken prisoner and deported to Delhi where he was posted as manager to the royal household. He distinguished himself in his job and was promoted to a higher rank in the imperial court. At this time, the Datts living in Veeram (in Amritsar district) were in great trouble as they were being persecuted by the Jats who had confiscated their lands. The aggrieved Datts approached Baba Sahib for help. He urged his son, Sobha Ram to take necessary action. Sobha Ram headed a big force and recovered all the captured land of the Datts. At this turn of events, out of gratitude a leading Datt offered his daughter’s hand in marriage. Sobha Ram accepted but with the condition that the marriage would be celebrated at their ancestral town of Mamdot. Eventually he arranged the marriage of that girl with Baba Sahib, as he was anxious to save his clan from extinction. Two sons begotten from this marriage are regarded by some as the forerunners of the subsequent generations of Mohans. Baba Sahib bequeathed to his descendants to make a suitable donation on the occasion of marriage or other celebration, to perpetuate the memory of his son. His wishes are carried out to this day and Mohan families offer a lota (vessel) and some eatables on all festive occasions.

The Mohans of Pind Dadan Khan are regarded as the direct descendants of Baba Sahib while those of other places as having descended from the relatives of those who survived the mayhem at Mamdot. The Mohans were decimated to such an extent in the holocast at Mamdot that they have still not recovered their old strength and constitute only 5% of the total population of the community.

In modern times

1.In modern times, Mehta Balmukund Mohan (1871-1969) was a scion of the historical Mohan family of Mamdot.

2.Ishan Mohan(1985-) Currently working in keane is one of the Famous Mohan Still present today.

Wincenty Pol (20 April 1807 - 2 December 1872) was a Polish poet and geographer.

Life

Born in Lublin (then in Galicia), to Franz Pohl (or Poll), a German in the Austrian service and his wife Eleonora Longchamps de Berier from a French family living in Poland, he fought in the Polish army in the 1830 November Uprising and participated in the 1848 revolution. In spite of his mixed family background, he considered himself a Pole, so much so that he changed his surname to Pol.

Although he had no formal education in geography, during his travels in Polish lands he wrote several books on this subject, and in 1849 was appointed professor at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow.

He wrote a fine descriptive work, Obrazy z ?ycia i podró?y (Pictures of Life and Travel), and also a poem Pie?n o ziemi naszej (Song of our Land). In 1855 he published Mohort, a poem relating to the times of Stanis?aw August Poniatowski.

Pol introduced into Polish literature the term “Kresy” to describe the territories lying near the eastern frontiers of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Pol is interred in Kraków’s historic Ska?ka Church, a mini-pantheon of Polish scientists, writers and artists, especially of the Kraków area.
