again the "outside my window" activity began at dusk .... grrr
two hares appeared but only one attended to her/his toilette which consisted of toe nibbling, whisker combing etc. The other seemed more interested in eating - no comment!
The following comment is kindly provided by Mr. Johnsons grandson Mel Johnson:
Although John Edwin Johnson died before I was born, I am aware that he was not a jeweller or clock maker, but was in fact a wheelwright /coach builder, and had a business in Fylde St, Preston.
John Edwin Johnson’s father was a John Thomas Johnson who was born in Carlisle in 1847 and became an auctioneer/dealer. John Thomas Johnson’s father was also John Johnson who was born in Dublin in 1825. At first he was also an auctioneer/dealer, but later established the prominent jewellers and clock maker business at 10-11 Orchard St, Preston.
In the mid 1870s his son John Thomas Johnson also set up a similar business in Orchard St, and for a while the Johnson’s occupied a number of premises in Orchard St.
I am continuing to try to research into these businesses. John Johnson senior was still at 10-11 Orchard Street as late as the 1881 census, but by this time there was no trace of his son John Thomas Johnson.

Description :The Bengali Language Movement: and in Bangali Trnslation to ভাষা আন্দোলন
The Bengali Language Movement: Can read In Bangoli here]ভাষা আন্দোলন, also known as the Language Movement (Bengali: ভাষা আন্দোলন; Bhasha Andolon), was a political effort in Bangladesh (then known as East Pakistan), advocating the recognition of the Bengali language as an official language ofPakistan. Such recognition would allow Bengali to be used in government affairs.When the state of Pakistan was formed in 1947, its two regions, East Pakistan (also called East Bengal) and West Pakistan, were split along cultural, geographical, and linguistic lines. In 1948, the Government of Pakistan ordained Urdu as the sole national language, sparking extensive protests among the Bengali-speaking majority of East Pakistan. Facing rising sectarian tensions and mass discontent with the new law, the government outlawed public meetings and rallies. The students of the University of Dhaka and other political activists defied the law and organised a protest on 21 February 1952. The movement reached its climax when police killed student demonstrators on that day. The deaths provoked widespread civil unrest led by the Awami Muslim League, later renamed the Awami League. After years of conflict, the central government relented and granted official status to the Bengali language in 1956. In 2000,UNESCO declared 21 February International Mother Language Day for the whole world to celebrate[1], in tribute to the Language Movement and the ethno-linguistic rights of people around the world.The Language Movement catalysed the assertion of Bengali national identity in Pakistan, and became a forerunner to Bengali nationalist movements, including the 6-point movement and subsequently the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. In Bangladesh, 21 February is observed as Language Movement Day, a national holiday. The Shaheed Minar monument was constructed near Dhaka Medical College in memory of the movement and its victims
Background
The present nations of Pakistan and Bangladesh were part of undivided India during the British colonial rule. From the mid-19th century, the Urdu language had been promoted as thelingua franca of Indian Muslims by political and religious leaders such as Sir Khwaja Salimullah, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk and Maulvi Abdul Haq.[2][3] Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language of the Indo-Iranian branch, belonging to the Indo-European family of languages. It developed under Persian, Arabic and Turkic influence on apabhramshas (last linguistic stage of the medieval Indian Aryan language Pali-Prakrit)[4] in South Asia during the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire.[5] With its Perso-Arabic script, the language was considered a vital element of the Islamic culture for Indian Muslims; Hindi and the Devanagari script were seen as fundamentals of Hindu culture.[2]While the use of Urdu grew common with Muslims in northern India, the Muslims of Bengal (a province in the eastern part of British Indian sub-continent) primarily used the Bengali language. Bengali is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language that arose from the eastern Middle Indic languages around 1000 CE[6] and developed considerably during the Bengal Renaissance. As early as the late 19th century, social activists such as the Muslim feminist Roquia Sakhawat Hussain were choosing to write in Bengali to reach out to the people and develop it as a modern literary language. Supporters of Bengali opposed Urdu even before the partition of India, when delegates from Bengal rejected the idea of making Urdu the lingua franca of Muslim India in the 1937 Lucknow session of the Muslim League. The Muslim League was a British Indian political party that became the driving force behind the creation of Pakistan as a Muslim state separate from British India.[7]

In the 1970's a new family moved into what they believed to be the perfect home. Immediately the strange happenings began. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fletcher and their four children moved into this 100 year old house that at one time had been a roadside inn. In the home there was a supernatural terror that had the family scared for their lives. They turned to exorcism and Fr. Alphonsus Trabold for help. He believed that the Fletcher home was possessed by a supernatural entity.
Mrs. Fletcher and the children first noticed a mysterious chanting sound when hiking in the hills near their home, which disappeared 3 weeks later. The phone would ring with no one on the other line, the family heard pounding noises, and money and other things would be displaced or completely disappear. Lights went on and off by themselves, the kitchen stove would turn on and off while cooking dinner, windows opened mysteriously and water faucets would turn on and off by themselves. One of the children heard dragging noises in the attic, only to have Mr. Fletcher check it out and find the chimney dismantled.
The family also witnessed things moving by themselves. The Fletchers, along with their friends, also began seeing apparitions, mostly of women dressed in long gowns, both inside and outside the house. Once the family saw several faces looking at them through the window, and when they went outside to check it out, the same faces were looking back at them from inside while the lights flickered on and off. They also witnessed other apparitions of strange animal-like creatures that were not of a known species. According to Fr. Alphonsus, apparitions can be caused by hallucinations or by a psychic force. "If the person is of a stable mind and the apparition is witnessed by others, you can eliminate the possibility of hallucinations," he said.
As the strange happenings progressed, the apparitions began leaving physical evidence behind. There would be indentations on chairs and beds when no one had sat on them, and the animal-like apparition jumped into the daughter's lap. Two family friends caught an apparition, that was in the process of disappearing, walking outside the house on film. Fr. Trabold and other priests thought it looked like the figure of a tormented American Indian.
After that, the haunting grew violent and the family began fearing for their lives. There was a large family photograph hanging in a room, and once the family found a letter opener suspended over the picture, pointing at one of the girls. It fell to the ground as the family tried to approach it. Another time, a lamp flew across the room at another one of the girls. The Fletchers cleaned up the glass and locked the door to the room, and when they returned sometime later, they found the ace of spades lying in the middle of the floor. Two of the children woke up one morning with strange burn marks all over their bodies.
A few days later, the grandmother heard the Fletchers' son Randy's car in the driveway. She looked out the window and saw Randy and a blonde haired woman drive up to the house and then drive away. Later on that day, the grandmother found out that Randy's car had been in the garage all day and was not in operable condition. A couple days after that, Randy was involved in a near fatal car accident when apparently his car went out of control and hit a tree. While he was semi-conscious in the hospital, he kept asking about the blonde woman, but she was never found. However, there was evidence of a passenger because the dashboard contained the indentation of a human head. A mechanic could not explain the nature of the car's malfunction. Randy has complete amnesia about the accident.
Fr. Trabold performed an exorcism on the house, with family members, researchers, and a film crew present. During the filming of the exorcism, the lights kept flickering. The house was calm for a few weeks after, but after the effects of prayer wore off, the strange occurrences began happening again, and the family eventually moved out.

"Défi climatique : comment dépasser l'immobilisme ? Des enseignements scientifiques à l'action collective"
A l'occasion de la sortie du 1er volet du 5ème rapport d'évaluation du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat (GIEC), la Chaire Développement durable de Sciences Po et la Fondation Nicolas Hulot organisent un débat exceptionnel. Il semble essentiel de faire le point sur les données scientifiques du climat, sur les enjeux des futures négociations internationales ainsi que sur le rôle de chacun dans la lutte contre le changement climatique.:
Intervenants :
Nicolas Hulot, président de la Fondation pour la Nature et l'Homme,
Mathilde Imer, vice-présidente de l'association CliMates et étudiante à Sciences Po,
Jean Jouzel, climatologue et membre du bureau du GIEC,
Laurence Tubiana, directrice de la Chaire Développement durable de Sciences Po et fondatrice et directrice de l'institut du développement durable et des relations internationales (Iddri)

• Le Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat (Giec) a concluque la Terre continue de se réchauffer. Les experts climatiques affirment aussi que le niveau des mers va continuer de s'élever et les phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes se multiplier.
«Seule une action des humains peut sauver le monde» (John Kerry, ministre américain des Affaires étrangères). «S'il y a un dossier qui réclame plus de coopération et d'engagement diplomatique, c'est bien celui-là. Ceux qui contredisent la science et cherchent des excuses pour ne pas agir jouent avec le feu. Les coûts de l'inaction augmentent au delà de ce chaque personne dotée de conscience ou de sens commun voudrait voir un jour arriver.»
«La France est mobilisée» (Laurent Fabius, Philippe Martin et Pascal Canfin). Dans un communiqué commun, Laurent Fabius, ministre des Affaires étrangères, Philippe Martin, ministre de l'Écologie, du Développement durable et de l'Énergie, et Pascal Canfin, ministre délégué chargé du Développement, «saluent l'adoption unanime à Stockholm du premier volume du cinquième rapport du Giec qui confirme la réalité dramatique du changement climatique». «La première décennie du 21e siècle (2001-2010) a été la plus chaude depuis 1850. L'augmentation de la température moyenne à la surface du globe, l'élévation du niveau des océans et l'accélération de la fonte des glaciers sont confirmées comme des faits scientifiques incontestables. La France est mobilisée pour construire un pacte mondial sur le climat en 2015 qui engagera toutes les parties prenantes sur une limitation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre afin de contenir l'évolution des températures en deçà de 2°C à l'horizon 2100.»
«La vérité qui dérange est confirmée» (un collectif d'ONG). «Après 25 ans de rapports par le Giec, la vérité qui dérange est confirmée : le changement climatique est réel, il se produit à un rythme alarmant et les activités humaines, principalement la combustion, le provoquent», a indiqué dans un communiqué un collectif d'ONG dont Greenpeace, WWF, Oxfam et Les Amis de la Terre. «Nous savons déjà que le secteur de l'énergie est le principal coupable, mais aussi la principale solution au changement climatique», ajoutent ces ONG, pour qui «les énergies renouvelables constituent une solution simple, avérée et économiquement abordable». «Le débat au sujet de qui est responsable est clos», a estimé Wael Hmaidan, le directeur de l'ONG Climate Action Network International, qui regroupe 850 associations.

• Climat : une crise «aggravée» depuis 2007, dénonce Al Gore
Al Gore, co-lauréat du prix Nobel de la Paix en 2007 avec les experts du climat du Giec, estime que la crise climatique «s'est aggravée» depuis six ans, dans «Le Monde» daté de jeudi 12 septembre.
«Nous continuons à déverser chaque jour dans l'atmosphère 90 millions de tonnes d'émissions polluantes, comme si c'était un égout à ciel ouvert, souligne l'ancien vice-président américain dans cet entretien. On en mesure les conséquences : des sécheresses plus intenses et des orages qui déversent des pluies beaucoup plus fortes. Les prévisions pour la France, l'Italie, l'Espagne, tout le sud de l'Europe sont particulièrement catastrophiques», juge Al Gore, qui publie ce jeudi, en France, son nouveau livre «Le Futur. Six logiciels pour changer le monde».
Depuis qu'il a alerté sur le changement climatique, notamment avec son documentaire «Une vérité qui dérange», Al Gore constate toutefois une baisse de la mobilisation. Un phénomène notamment dû, selon lui, à «la grande récession de l'automne 2008», à «la découverte de vastes réserves de gaz de schiste exploitables grâce aux progrès technologiques réalisés dans les forages horizontaux et la fracturation hydraulique» ou l'échec du sommet de Copenhague en 2009.
Un «renversement de situation» depuis deux ans
Malgré cela, il affirme être optimiste en raison d'un «renversement de situation» depuis deux ans. «Les événements météorologiques extrêmes liés à la crise climatique sont devenus trop massifs et trop fréquents pour être ignorés», souligne-t-il, citant l'ouragan Sandy qui a frappé New York, les incendies dans l'Ouest américain ou encore les inondations au Pakistan et en Australie.
Plusieurs dirigeants mondiaux, assure aussi Al Gore, sont désormais mobilisés autour du sujet climatique, à commencer par le président américain Barack Obama qui «a changé» depuis sa réélection et qui, désormais, «pense davantage à la marque qu'il va laisser dans l'histoire».

A l'occasion de la sortie de son livre «Plus haut que mes rêves», Nicolas Hulot est revenu sur son expérience politique et sa défaite lors de la primaire écologiste pour la présidentielle de 2012.
lâché au front», a-t-il déploré sur i>Télé. Il regrette de ne pas avoir été soutenu, d'avoir même été attaqué, alors que l'écologie, au-delà des querelles de parti, est, pour lui, une question «universelle». «Le modèle économique de demain est déterminé par la crise écologique», affirme-t-il.
Nicolas Hulot reconnaît que «des gens n'ont peut-être pas compris tous les choix que j'ai faits». «En demandant le soutien des Verts en 2012, des gens se sont dits que c'était peut-être un engagement partisan». Pourtant, «c'est noble d'avoir une ambition politique, car on passe de la prise de conscience à l'action», se défend-il. Mais «c'est la décision la plus incongrue de mon existence, un mauvais choix puisque la greffe n'a pas pris». Il raconte avoir reçu le soutien et les mises en garde de l'ancien président de la République, «Jacques Chirac, a qui je demande conseil. Il me dit que je vais m'en prendre plein la gueule, mais qu'il faut que j'y aille».
«Daniel Cohn-Bendit m'a déçu»
Celui qui est aujourd'hui envoyé spécial de l’Elysée pour la préservation de la planète reste amer à l'égard de Daniel Cohn-Bendit, qui ne l'a pas soutenu lors des primaires, en critiquant notamment vertement le documentaire qu'il avait réalisé, «le Syndrome du Titanic». «Il m'a déçu à l'époque parce que j'avais besoin de lui», dit-il. Sur Europe 1, il a déploré les conséquences de cette attitude pour la question écologique. «Cela a été un immense gâchis pour l'écologie, car on pouvait faire la jonction entre cet enjeu majeur et la socité française. Cela porte un préjudice dont on a du mal à se remettre. Depuis cette campagne calamiteuse qui a donné une image tragique de l'écologie, il y a une forme d'irritation dans la société vis-à-vis de l'écologie et de ceux qui la défendent.»
«Dany, tu n'as pas été là»
Daniel Cohn-Bendit a d'ailleurs reconnu sur Europe 1 que «Nicolas Hulot aurait été le meilleur candidat». «Nous nous sommes trompés», a-t-il déclaré. «Il aurait été le meilleur candidat crédible de l'écologie aux dernières présidentielles. Nous avons raté un grand rendez-vous avec lui, il a raté un grand rendez-vous avec nous. C'est de notre faute». Et de poursuivre, à propos du documentaire de Nicolas Hulot : «Je l'ai blessé. Je n'ai pas aimé son film, le Syndrome du Titanic, que j'ai trouvé anxiogène et éthiquement discutable. Je l'ai dit le soir de la première, c'était méchant et inutile.»
Cette question mise de côté, Nicolas Hulot regarde devant et juge qu'«il va falloir que les écologistes fassent leur mue et comprennent pourquoi ils ne sont pas recevables». Sur i>Télé, il leur a donné un conseil pédagogique. «Les Verts sont les seuls à porter un sujet essentiel. Ils sont tellement convaincus du bien-fondé de leur combat, qu'ils en oublient de se mettre du point de vue de ceux auxquels ils s'adressent, et qui n'ont pas les mêmes préoccupations.»

PLUS HAUT QUE MES RÊVES, DE NICOLAS HULOT
"Qu'es-tu venu faire dans cette galère ? Mes amis n'ont cessé de me poser la question quand je me suis porté candidat à l'investiture d'Europe Écologie-Les Verts pour la Présidentielle 2012. Pourquoi entrer dans cette ronde du pouvoir après avoir passé tant d'années avec la nature, sa simplicité, sa puissance et le message d'humilité qu'elle ne cesse de nous prodiguer ? C'est justement par amour pour elle que je suis entré dans ce costume improbable. C'est Ushuaïa qui m'a mené vers ce combat.
Qu'es-tu venu faire dans cette galère ? La réponse est dans l'itinéraire d'une vie. Une vie plus haute que mes rêves. Ces vingt-cinq années à travers les contrées les plus éblouissantes de la planète m'ont fait tisser un lien indéfectible et charnel avec la nature. Et j'ai compris que c'est aux hommes de sauver la beauté du monde qui donne un sens à leur existence. Aux hommes de préserver la terre, notre avenir. Ces pages sont l'écho de ce chemin qui part du cœur de la Terre vers le cœur des hommes pour la Vie." (Nicolas Hulot, juillet 2013)
Extrait de presse :
"De son long cheminement il s'explique dans un livre très personnel, où il revient en détail sur l'échec de son incursion en politique, rend un bel hommage à ses années d'aventurier aux quatre coins du monde, avec l'équipe d'Ushuaïa. Et martèle l'urgence du combat écologique."

Richard Amor GREEN
Born 1862 Died 1924
Stanley Hillier GREEN [memorial only]
Born 1890 Died 1890
Forever with the Lord
********************************
Richard
Block 38 Plot 108
Died 10 April 1924 at his residence 6 Armagh Street[5]
Occupation: Merchant and born 9 June 1862[4] Christchurch.
“Mr. Richard Amor Green was a representative for the South-East Ward in the Christchurch City Council from August. 1899. to April, 1901. Mr. Green, who is a native of Christchurch, was born in 1862, and educated at Melville House and Christ's College. He was a Masonic scholar in 1874, and a Government scholar in 1875 and 1876. After completing his school course he entered the business of his father, Mr. T. H. Green, on whose death he became senior partner in the business now known as that of T. H. Green and Co., ham and bacon curers. Mr. Green is a Past Master in the Canterbury Masonic Lodge, 1048, E.C., and has attained to high rank in the District Grand Lodge, and is secretary of the District Grand Stewards' Lodge. He was married, in 1887, to Miss Crowe, daughter of Mr. William Crowe, of Christchurch.”[3]
Richard married Jane Edith CROWE on 30 March 1887 at St Lukes, Christchurch.
Ages 24/20; Occu: bacon curer/ - ; both born Christchurch.
Parents
Witnesses were Emily Anne CROWE, Thomas H. GREEN and William CROWE.[4]
There is no Jane Edith GREEN in the cemetery database however her death is recorded as c1956 aged 89[6] and if she was cremated this would not show on the CCCDB. It is interesting to note how big the plot is for only 1 burial.
Stanley appears to only be mentioned as a memorial as according to CCCDB he is buried in Linwood at Block 4 Plot 26
Press, Volume XLVIL, Issue 7661, 19 September 1890, Page 4
“GREEN. – On September 18th, at [23] Armagh street, Stanley Hillier, infant son of Richard and Edith Green, aged fourteen weeks.”[1]
Stanley WHO IS BURIED IN LINWOOD CEMETERY with his grandfather, well known Christchurch businessman of his time Thomas Hillier GREEN who died at 169 Cambridge Terrace on 23 September 1890 [4 days after Stanley] aged 52 years, bacon curer born Sommerset [sic] UK and having lived in NZ for 29 years is noted as also being buried in Linwood at Block 4 Plot 24. Greens buildings situated at 123 Manchester street were ruined in the earthquakes

Thomas Hillier GREEN senior’s obituary:
Star , Issue 6968, 24 September 1890, Page 1
MR T. H. GREEN,
A notice appears in another column stating that Mr Thomas H. Green, aged fifty-two, has departed this life. Mr Green had been ailing for over six months from heart disease. Mr Green is one of Canterbury's pioneers, and, moreover, one of the right sort— a man full of energy and determination. Bred and born in the midst of agricultural operations in England, he saw an opportunity on arrival in Canterbury of starting a pork butchering business in Christchurch, which he carried on with satisfactory results for some years. A few years later Mr Green saw an opening for the increase of this business by exporting to the neighbouring Colonies, and he built a large curing establishment in Manchester street. There he carried on business on a large scale, and the name of Canterbury hams and bacon became well known in the Australian Colonies. He then built a large block of buildings on the frontage of the section and conducted the curing at the back. When the Islington Factory was mooted, Mr Green threw in hip lot with the promoters, and it is needless to say his energetic business habits have still further increased the demand for the Company's product. He leaves a widow and grown up family, chiefly sons. Mr Green's funeral takes place to-morrow afternoon. [2]
Star , Issue 7102, 2 March 1891, Page 3
EXECUTORS OF T. H. GREEN V. CHRISTCHURCH MEAT FREEZING CO. In this case the claim was for a sum of £470 0s 9d. Mr Martin for the plaintiffs; Mr G. Harper for the defendants. The statement of claim set forth that on May 4, 1890. Thomas Hillier Green, since deceased, sold his bacon curing business to the defendant Company for £518 ls 9d Application was made for settlement, but the Company took exception to prices amounting in the aggregate to £48 Is, thus reducing the total sum to £470 0s 9d. This reduction was agreed to, but a settlement had not been made. Green died on Sept. 23, 1890, and the executors under his will, R. H. Green and Andrews, now claimed for the sum of £470 0s 9d. The statement of defence was practically a denial of the allegations made in the statement of claim. Evidence having been heard plaintiff was nonsuited.

Thomas Hillier GREEN junior – Suicide in London [son of Thomas Hillier Green mentioned above].
Press, Volume L, Issue 8427, 9 March 1893, Page 3
“With reference to the announcement of the sad death of Mr Thos. Hillier Green, which was received by cable yesterday, we may mention that he was well known in Christchurch, he being the fourth son of the late Mr T. H. Green. Some few years ago he went to England to study medicine at the London University, and that fee was making good progress was evidenced by a letter written to his relatives in January in which he spoke in glowing terms of the bright prospects before him. On Saturday last his brother received a cable message stating that he was suffering from Smallpox, and there can be no doubt whatever but that his death was attributable to delirium developed by that dreadful disease. Mr Green was a young man of great promise. He gained a Government scholarship when he was eleven years of age, and two others before he was fourteen. At sixteen years of age he won the Gillies scholarship at Auckland, and took his B.A. degree during the currency of this scholarship. He was a senior University scholarship and gained his M.A. degree with first-class honours before he was twenty years of age. He went to England and matriculated at the London University, and passed his preliminary examination in science. At that examination he was the only student from the whole of the London Hospital that obtained honours. Since then he has passed every examination, and according to his last, expected, in a month or two, to qualify for his medical degree. He was twenty-three years of age, and was a great favourite among all who knew him. His unexpected death was a sad blow to his sorrowing relatives, and much sympathy is felt for them in their distress.”

Many have commented on my photos of small Texas towns and those comments are sincerely appreciated. I have a love for rural and small town Texas because that is where my roots are, going back many generations. This particular series is special to me, however. My mother would have turned 100 this month and I visited Thornton, Texas, her home town, during the summer to take this series of photographs. The place holds many memories for me from my trips there to visit my grandmother and aunts and uncles while growing up. Sadly, many of the old buildings that I remember so well are gone, including Fisher Hardware (that was nothing like the modern big box hardware stores) and Black’s Drug Store, with its “old fashioned” soda fountain. My grandmother’s house is gone, too, destroyed in a fire several years ago. My visit to the local cemetery was very poignant, as well. My mom and dad are buried in Houston but Mom’s parents and all of her siblings and their spouses are buried in Thornton.
Thornton is located on State Highway 14 in Limestone County. Settlement began in 1868. In 1870, the Houston and Texas Central Railway ran a line through the area from Hearne to Groesbeck. The community became a railroad stop and was named for John E. Thornton, an early resident. (The story of how my grandfather, mayor of Thornton in the 1930’s and early 1940’s, convinced the railroad company not to discontinue using Thornton as a railroad stop, which would have ended their passenger service, is a family legend.)
A post office was established in 1873 and, soon thereafter, cotton gins were set up nearby. Ceramics manufacturing also took place in Thornton, though agriculture was the mainstay of the area. Thornton Institute, an early college, was established in 1877 but later became Thornton School. The Thornton Masonic lodge No. 486 was chartered in 1878 and other organizations followed.
By 1880 Thornton had a population of 200, thirteen businesses, and three churches. Within ten years, the population had more than doubled and Thornton had steam gristmills and a local newspaper. In 1904, the population was 586 and, after unsuccessful attempts, the town was incorporated in 1907.
During this period of time the population grew, reaching 678 between 1910 and 1920, and business continued to expand. In addition to the cotton gins, schools, churches, and steam gristmills, the town soon had eighteen brick stores (mostly gone now), a bank, a commission house, a hotel, and electric lights. In 1918, the first airplane landed in Thornton, piloted in from Houston. By 1926 Thornton had 733 residents, a deep water well, and telephone connections. The population peaked at nearly 2,000 in the late 1920’s and then began a decline. Between 1969 and 1989 Thornton had a population between 408 and 498, and the number of businesses was five. The population currently remains at approximately 500 (as of the 2000 census).

The Divine Invasion by Philip K. Dick [528 - 2014-05-13 - novel]
comments by CR
If you need to know anything about Phil Dick (1928-82) before reading this book it's that he was confounded by thoughts theological, consumed vast quantities of drugs and used his fiction to sort his dreams and visions. Ok - here we go with a plot outline: God ("Yah"), was booted off Earth by the Romans, and had taken up residence on a remote methane-snow planet. When squatters from Earth arrive, Yah decides it's time to make a comeback as his own Messiah. So he contacts dome-dweller Herb Asher (who agrees to claim Yah's paternity); impregnates ailing neighbor Rybys Romney; and journeys to Earth in the latter's womb - a necessary subterfuge, since Earth is controlled by the Belial-inspired Christian-Islamic church and the Scientific Legate, with computer Big Noodle keeping tabs on everyone. Thus reborn on Earth as Emmanuel, Yah is helped by Elias Tate (who's Elijah reincarnated) and by girl-of-mystery Zina (who turns out to be the living embodiment of the Torah) to recover his powers and challenge Belial for the supremacy. With profusely, confused plotting in the Dick manner - though without any of the usual Dick playfulness - this is book destined, perhaps, to be muddled over by academics and the dedicated fan-boy; but it's far, far too weird to attract many mainstream readers in my oppinion - but I liked it. A difficult book to get into but hard to put down - must be that PKD magic at work!
There've been science-fiction novels with religious themes before (e.g., Blish's A Case of Conscience, Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz, Zelazny's Lord of Light), in fact it is a sub-genre of the field but none, to my knowledge, are as relentlessly theological in tone, texture, and import as this book.
"Divine Invasion"(1981) is book 2 in the VALIS series but it can most certainly be read as a stand-alone book.

My lovely friend Trisha was in Hull for the day so I met up with her and we had a couple of drinks in 80 Days Bierhaus.
I love a dog-friendly pub, and 80 Days had 2 canine visitors while we were in. So cute!

Saturday night we went to a lovely Indie night I've been going to on Prince's Avenue called Beat The Clock. Some great tunes all played from vinyl - less mainstream than many nights, some more obscure tracks mixed in with well known ones.
We started the evening with food at Crafted, then went on to 80 Days Bierhaus, then Hoi and finallu upstairs at Hoi to Beat The Clock. A great night!
On the dancefloor with Mike Monroe, one of the organisers of the evening.

The Taj Mahal Palace is Mumbai's most legendary luxury hotel, located beside the Gateway of India in Colaba. It was commissioned by Jamsetji Tata and opened on 16 December 1903, making it one of India's most historic hotels. Built in the Indo-Saracenic architectural style, blending Indian, Islamic, and European influences. The hotel was one of the principal sites affected during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008 and later underwent restoration before reopening.
