Fudge (TV series)

Fudge is a 1995 American children's television series based on a series of Judy Blume novels about a young boy nicknamed Fudge. The series ran for two seasons, with 24 episodes following a telefilm adaptation of Blume's novel Fudge-a-Mania, which aired on January 7, 1995, in primetime, as part of the ABC Family Movies.

The show was canceled after the second season as part of ABC's restructuring of its Saturday morning lineup due to the network's 1996 acquisition by The Walt Disney Company.

U.S. network broadcasts
Fudge premiered on ABC's Saturday morning program block on January 14, 1995, one week after the pilot movie aired, and ran nine episodes for its first season, and aired its second season with 15 episodes from August to December 1995, with reruns continuing until September 1996. ABC's broadcasts of the show were often accompanied with a Schoolhouse Rock segment immediately after the end of each episode.

In September 1997, reruns of the show reappeared onto the CBS Saturday morning lineup, where it remained until December of that year.

International broadcasts
In Canada, the show was broadcast on YTV at the time of the show's original run. The program was also broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC as part of its CBBC lineup from April 1996 until November 1999. In addition, Australia's Network Ten also broadcast the show as part of its children's programming lineup in 1996.

E.V. as "Era Vulgaris"
I have reverted the change eliminating the meaning of E.V. as "Era Vulgaris". A cursory search on Google for "era vulgaris" certainly seems to indicate a fair number of hits for the phrase on various websites that appear to be Wiccan, so it appears to be a genuine possible meaning for "E.V." Is there a reason why this meaning was removed from the list?

— DLJessup 20:22, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I reverted this because the user who added it had uploaded a bad faith article at around the same time, now since deleted, and "Era Vulgaris" only scored 3000 google hits . However if you think this deserves inclusion I will leave it in. Rje 20:37, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

Jean Gascon

Jean Gascon (December 21, 1920 – April 13, 1988) was a Canadian opera director, actor, and administrator.

Career
Originally bent on a career in medicine, Gascon abandoned it for the stage after considerable work with amateur groups in Montreal. A scholarship in 1946 from the Government of France enabled him to study dramatic art in Paris. He studied with Ludmilla Pitoëff.

After returning to Canada in 1951, he co-founded Montreal's Theatre du Nouveau Monde and became its first Artistic Director. During this time, he also started a long association with the newly established Stratford Festival in 1956, playing the Constable of France in Henry V and directing three farces by Moliere. He returned to Stratford to direct Le malade imaginaire in 1958 and Othello in 1959.

Between 1960 and 1963, he was founding Administrative Director of the National Theatre School of Canada and was awarded the Canadian Drama Award, the Prix Victor Dore.

In 1963 he returned to Stratford to direct The Comedy of Errors, and then Le Bourgeois gentilhomme and The Marriage of Figaro the following season. He was awarded the Molson Prize in 1967. Then between 1968 and 1974, he was artistic director of Stratford Festival of Canada. In 1977 he became theatre director of the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.

Gascon's career in the Canadian theatre as a bilingual actor and director achieved an impressive reputation. He gained honorary degrees from McGill and Bishop's Universities. He was also awarded the Order of Canada (in 1975), the Prix du Québec and the Royal Bank Award.

As an actor in both English and French languages, his credits include such noteworthy portrayals as Richard in Richard II, and the Captain in Dance of Death.

He was the French/Indian Batise in the 1970 movie A Man Called Horse and was in a film in 1988 called À corps perdu (Straight for the Heart).

Personal life
He was the brother of actor Gabriel Gascon and filmmaker Gilles Gascon.

Gascon died of a heart attack in 1988 in Stratford, Ontario and was entombed at the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal.

Honours

 * In 1967, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and was promoted to Companion in 1975.
 * In 1985, he was awarded the Quebec government's Prix Denise-Pelletier.

Talk:Office of Naval Intelligence

Comments
The Office of Naval Intelligence was born on 23 March 1882, the brainchild of Theodorus Bailey Myers Mason. At that time, the US Navy was in danger of becoming a force in name only. Because advancements in naval science and technology were not officially encouraged, the US Navy could not compete with those of Europe, where research into ship design, construction techniques, propulsion, and weapons resulted in the development of new concepts that were then applied in support of their navies. In the United States, any information collected on foreign developments accumulated in the respective Navy Bureaus, with little or no coordination between them. Conflicting theories and views abounded; a consensus of opinion was impossible. LT Mason believed the Navy should assign naval attaches to embassies and legations throughout the world to collect intelligence on advances in naval science. He also recommended that a section be created in the Office of the Secretary of the Navy to assemble, correlate, and distribute reports on the intelligence gathered. United States Secretary of the Navy William H. Hunt eventually heard and agreed with most of LT Mason's recommendations, and consequently issued General order Number 292, which founded the Office of Naval Intelligence. This makes ONI the oldest United States intelligence organization, to "collect and record such naval information as may be useful to the Department in wartime as well as in peace." ONI is primarily a management organization that represents the Navy to the rest of the United States intelligence community, conducts liaison with foreign naval intelligence organizations, produces some intelligence studies or estimates, supervises submarine reconnaissance operations, and directs the activities of the various naval organizations that collect and produce intelligence. --Tony Hecht 20:49, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I know it has been a while. I will work on the article as I can.  Still need to find from the ONI Command Historian about some public domain issues, and is tied up with my work to start an entry on Theodorus Bailey Myers Mason. --Tony Hecht 05:19, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Bengeo

Bengeo is a suburb and former village and civil parish on the north-west edge of the county town of Hertford in Hertfordshire, England. It is an electoral ward of Hertford. In 1891 the parish had a population of 2586. In 1894 the parish was abolished to form Bengeo Rural and Bengeo Urban.

Toponym
Bengeo is on a rise between the River Beane and River Rib overlooking Hartham Common. Its toponym is derived from an Old English name meaning spur or ridge over the River Beane. The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as Belingehou. It evolved through forms including Beneggho and Beningho in the 13th century, Bengeho in the 15th century and Benjow in the 16th century before reaching its current form.

Geography and amenities

Other than the south-east corner which adjoins Hertford, Bengeo is mostly surrounded by countryside. Informally (the terms having no official status) Bengeo consists of Upper and Lower Bengeo; Upper Bengeo is the area at the top of Port Hill leading out of Hertford town centre, while Lower Bengeo is the area on the side of the hill and centred on Byde Street. On an approximate north–south trajectory Bengeo is bisected by the B158, known as Port Hill as it leaves Hertford and climbs the hill to Upper Bengeo and then as Bengeo Street as it continues through, and then out of, Bengeo to the north. Leaving Port Hill to the east runs The Warren, an ancient footpath along the edge of the River Beane and Hartham Common leading to the ancient church of St Leonard.

Bengeo has various amenities including a post office, local shops, several public houses, two veterinary practices, a number of sports teams, two churches and a Plymouth Brethren Meeting Room. There are two State primary schools, Mill Mead Primary School in Port Vale in Lower Bengeo close to Hertford and, at the opposite end of Bengeo on the north end of The Avenue, Bengeo Primary School; on the east side is Duncombe School, an independent preparatory school.

Notable buildings
The former parish church of St Leonard, Bengeo, is a 12th-century Norman building and the oldest building in Hertford. It was the parish church of Bengeo until 1855, when it was succeeded by the new Holy Trinity parish church designed by Benjamin Ferrey. St. Leonard's is still used for regular Sunday services in summer months, as well as hosting exhibitions and concerts.

Close to St Leonard's Church along St Leonard's Road are three of Hertford's oldest houses, Revels Hall, built in the mid sixteenth century, Bengeo Old House, formerly the vicarage, built in the late sixteenth century and Bengeo Hall, built in the late seventeenth century and home to landscape painter Joshua Gosselin. All are Grade II* listed buildings.

On the west side of Bengeo are two further Grade II listed buildings, The Old Pest House and Little Molewood. The former, on the corner of Byde Street and Fanshawe Street, was built in 1763 as a smallpox isolation hospital; the latter, situated on The Avenue, is an arts and crafts style house, built in 1904 for the Graveson family of Hertford by the architects Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin, who were the architects and planners of Letchworth Garden City.

The prominent concrete water tower on The Drive was built in 1929 and opened in 1930 to boost the water supply to new housing which could no longer be adequately accommodated by the then (but no longer) existing pumping station and water tower on Tower Street. The Drive was developed after the construction of the tower. Today it has an array of aerials on the top, providing inter alia a local television relay from Crystal Palace transmitting station.

Synergy (software)

Synergy is a software application for sharing a keyboard and mouse between multiple computers. It is used in situations where several PCs are used together, with a monitor connected to each, but are to be controlled by one user. The user needs only one keyboard and mouse on the desk — similar to a KVM switch without the video.

Partly open source and partly closed source, the open source components are released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, which is free software. The first version of Synergy was created on May 13, 2001, by Chris Schoeneman and worked with the X Window System only. Synergy now supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and other Unix-like operating systems.

Design
Once the program is installed, users can move the mouse "off" the side of their desktop on one computer, and the mouse pointer will appear on the desktop of another computer. Key presses will be delivered to whichever computer the mouse-pointer is located in. This makes it possible to control several machines as easily as if they were a single multi-monitor computer. The clipboard and even screensavers can be synchronized.

The program is implemented as a server which defines which screen-edges lead to which machines, and one or more clients, which connect to the server to offer the use of their desktops. The keyboard and mouse are connected to the server machine.

As of version 2.0 (2017) keystrokes, mouse movements and clipboard contents are sent via an encrypted SSL network connection. This previously required the purchase of the Pro edition in version 1. In July 2013 the Defuse Security Group reported the proprietary encryption used in Synergy 1.6 to be insecure and released an exploit which could be used to passively decrypt the commands sent to the Synergy 1.6 clients. This was solved by using SSL in 1.7.

TCP/IP communications (default port 24800 ) are used to send mouse, keyboard and clipboard events between computers in Synergy 1.

History
The first incarnation of Synergy was CosmoSynergy, created by Richard Lee and Adam Feder then at Cosmo Software, Inc., a subsidiary of SGI (née Silicon Graphics, Inc.), at the end of 1996. They wrote it, and Chris Schoeneman contributed, to solve a problem: most of the engineers in Cosmo Software had both an Irix and a Windows box on their desks and switchboxes were expensive and annoying. CosmoSynergy was a great success but Cosmo Software declined to productize it and the company was later closed. Synergy is a from-scratch reimplementation of CosmoSynergy. It provides most of the features of the original and adds a few improvements.

Synergy+ was created in 2009 as a maintenance fork for the purpose of fixing bugs inherited from the original version. The original version of Synergy had not been updated for a notable length of time (as of 6 June 2010, the latest release was 2 April 2006). There was never official confirmation that the original Synergy project had been abandoned; however, there was public discussion providing speculation. In said discussion, Chris Schoeneman (the creator of Synergy) stated that instead of supporting a 1.3.x team, he intends on releasing version 2.0 of Synergy, and publicly announced on 27 Aug 2008 that he has been making progress on this version.

Thanks for the Bjørnøya pictures, I had long been looking for some. You might wish to put one of them (t.ex. Miseryfjellet) into the Bjørnøya article as well. Although it's not too realistic a prospect right now, I am dreaming of making this a featured article some time, and good pictures are a prerequisite for that.

Clifton Hillegass

Clifton K. Hillegass (18 April 1918 – 5 May 2001) was the creator and publisher of CliffsNotes.

Biography
Clifton Hillegass was born in Rising City, Nebraska, graduated from Midland Lutheran College and then studied physics and geology for two years at the University of Nebraska. He later received four honorary degrees.

CliffsNotes began in 1958 as $1 reprints of Canadian study guides for 16 plays by Shakespeare. At that time, Hillegass worked for a major distributor of college textbooks. He knew hundreds of campus bookstore managers across the country. Those close relationships gave him the first outlets for the Notes. Sales expanded rapidly as high school students began to buy the slim yellow and black pamphlets. By the early 1970s the company had created additional study aids—exam reviews, course outlines, law school materials, and test preparation kits for the SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT.

As the company grew, Hillegass kept its headquarters in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he died. Each year he donated 10 percent of the pre-tax profits to local charities and civic organizations (which, on his death, received half of his estate). Most employees were lifetime Lincoln residents. After he sold the company in 1999, Hillegass endowed a chair in English at the University of Nebraska.

Howard Brown
No vote. Tagged for vfd on June 2, but the entry was never completed. Joyous 20:27, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - this isn't vanity! Howard Brown is the character used in the Halifax (UK bank) adverts in the UK (as the article states). He's a real bank employee, I believe, rather than just an actor used. Modern day ad's use a cartoon version of Howard, older ones used the real person. Article could do with more content, and it's never going to be the most notable entry, but has the potential to be made quite interesting, given a rewrite methinks. I can't see a reason to delete, the person is quite well known in the UK, and certainly don't delete as Vanity as stated in the article. UkPaolo 20:54, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - I would leave this to users like UkPaolo who are more familiar with the notability of the person than I am, but generally speaking, a person who appears in an ad for a single company does not seem any more notable to me than many local musicians, writers, college professors and other individuals we have deleted. no vote - DS1953 21:36, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Halifax (bank), if kept at all. I, for one, do not think that articles like this, or even one on "the Snapple lady" warrant inclusion. --Tabor 22:01, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per UkPaolo -- after all, if this guy's well-known in the UK from a bunch of TV ads, he's already far more notable than most of the local musicians, writers, college professors and whatnot... A quick Google search brings up, among other things, an article in which Simon Cowell speaks ill of him and another news item that tells us that his single -- a cover of Barry White's You’re the First, the Last, My Everything -- hit No 13 on the UK charts upon its release. I'd say he's notable enough. -- Captain Disdain 22:19, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. A top 20 UK single means he qualifies under the WikiMusic project guidelines. The ads obviously have given him some notability. Capitalistroadster 01:31, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Wiki Project Medicine: restructuring and expanding the article
Hello all, I am planning to restructure and expand this article. I plan to remove less relevant information in the introduction and divide the information into sections according to the Wikipedia manual of style for medicine-related articles. The sections I plan to add are contraindications, risks and complications, surgical technique (radical vs partial, male and female considerations), postoperative care/recovery. I also plan to briefly mention urinary diversion/reconstruction with links to appropriate pages. Msmith191 (talk) 19:06, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Peer-Review- I think there has been vast improvement to the article. The risks and complications have been improved the information is laid out in the standard wikipedia medicine article fashion and citations have been updated. Your plan was followed and successfully executed. The only section I believe that could use some additions is: linking out to bladder cancer in the malignancy section, adding to the ileus section about narcotics being a factor, and adding to the contraindications portion. I think this article has been successfully updated and look forward to it improving throughout time. Thank you for all the hard work.TimFutureSurgeon (talk) 19:55, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

I added a few short sentences comparing open surgery and robotic cystectomy. I also added information on the impact of different nutrition interventions on post-op complications. All of this information is paraphrased and cited from Cochrane review articles. --Gsom12812 (talk) 21:43, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Brian Horton

Brian "Nobby" Horton (born 4 February 1949) is an English former footballer and manager. He spent 16 years as a professional player and 22 years as a manager, making 689 appearances and managing 1,098 matches. In addition to this, he spent four years as a semi-professional player and around 11 years as a coach and assistant manager.

Horton played at wing-half, though he was forced to find employment as a builder after being released from Walsall's youth team in 1966. He joined Hednesford Town in the West Midlands (Regional) League, winning the Staffordshire Senior Cup in his final appearance for the club in 1970. He turned professional by signing with Port Vale of the English Football League in July 1970. He established himself in the first team, making 258 appearances, before being sold on to Brighton & Hove Albion for £30,000 in March 1976. Installed as club captain, he helped the club to win promotions to the First Division from the Third Division in 1976–77 and 1978–79, being named on the PFA Team of the Year on both occasions. He also won the club's Player of the Year in 1977. Having played 251 games for the club, he was transferred to Luton Town in August 1981. He captained the team to the Second Division title in 1981–82 and helped the club to remain in the First Division, playing 132 games in league and cup competitions.

Horton was installed as player-manager at Hull City in June 1984 and led the club to promotion out of the Third Division in 1984–85. He was sacked in April 1988 and was appointed as Oxford United's assistant manager the following month. He succeeded Mark Lawrenson as Oxford manager in October of that year. He managed to keep the club in the Second Division for five seasons despite a financial crisis caused by the death of owner Robert Maxwell. Horton was the surprise appointment as Manchester City manager in August 1993 and kept the club competitive in the Premier League before being dismissed by new club chairman Francis Lee in May 1995. He took charge at Huddersfield Town the following month but was sacked with the club bottom of the Second Division in October 1997. He returned to his former club Brighton & Hove Albion as manager in February 1998, who were struggling near the foot of the Third Division and forced to play home games at Priestfield Stadium in Gillingham. He moved to another former club, Port Vale, in January 1999. Vale were relegated out of the First Division in 2000. However, Horton won his first trophy in management as they secured the Football League Trophy in 2001. He resigned in February 2004 following a change in ownership.

He took charge at Macclesfield Town in April 2004, steering the club away from the Third Division relegation zone. He spent two full seasons in charge before being sacked in October 2006. Having spent some time out of the game, he returned to Hull City as Phil Brown's assistant manager in May 2007. The club were promoted to the Premier League, though the two were sacked in March 2010. He spent 2011 as Phil Brown's assistant at Preston North End and then returned to management with Macclesfield Town in March 2012, though he was unable to prevent the club from being relegated from the Football League. He joined Doncaster Rovers as Paul Dickov's assistant in June 2013, before he was appointed as football coordinator at Southend United by Phil Brown in August 2015. He later assisted Phil Brown at Swindon Town for two months, leaving the club in May 2018. He has been married twice and has twins.

Hednesford Town
Born in Hednesford, Staffordshire, Horton's father, Richard, was a coal miner at the North Staffordshire Coalfield and his mother, Irene, worked as a cook at Cannock Grammar School. He started his career as a member of Walsall's youth team at the age of 15. He played regularly in the West Midlands (Regional) League, though was released after two years without having appeared for the first-team, and joined hometown club Hednesford Town in the West Midlands (Regional) League after being signed by player-manager Dick Neal. During his time at the club he worked in the building trade in the Walsall area. He became known as Nobby to fans, a nickname that stuck with him throughout his career, after a supporter stated that Horton played like Nobby Stiles. He won the Staffordshire Senior Cup in his final appearance for the club, a victory over Kidderminster Harriers.

Port Vale
Horton returned to the Football League at the age of 21 when he signed for newly-promoted Third Division club Port Vale in July 1970. It was reported that his transfer fee was a pint of shandy, as Vale were struggling financially and simply haggled with the Hednesford Town chairman by plying him with alcohol, therefore his transfer fee was 'a pint of shandy'. Port Vale agreed to play a pre-season friendly with Hednesford and allowed them to keep all the gate receipt money from the match. Horton had been earning £7-a-week at Hednesford, rising to £20 with win bonuses, supplemented by a £20-a-week income from building work, and so actually took a significant pay cut to turn professional at Port Vale on wages of £23-a-week.

A first-team regular from the start under manager Gordon Lee, Horton played 40 games in the 1970–71 season, and scored his first competitive goal in a 3–2 win against Bury at Gigg Lane. He then found his scoring form in the 1971–72 campaign, as he hit eight goals in 47 appearances; he also became the club's penalty taker, with half of his goals coming from the spot. He hit seven goals in 43 games in the 1972–73 season, four of his strikes coming from the penalty spot. He missed a period around Christmas due to injury, and during this time his teammates struggled to find results; this ultimately cost the "Valiants", as they finished four points behind promoted Notts County. The injury had come in a 2–0 defeat at Charlton Athletic, when a knee-high tackle left him with a hairline fracture of the leg, which also caused him to miss an FA Cup third round tie with West Ham United.

Lee changed the team's formation from 4–4–2 to 4–3–3 for the 1973–74 campaign, hoping that this would allow Horton more room in the centre of the field. However, Vale's form suffered, and Lee was replaced as manager by Roy Sproson in January. Vale finished the campaign one place above the relegation zone, though were seven points clear of the relegation zone. Horton played 46 games, scoring four goals. Vale missed out on promotion by just four points at the end of the 1974–75 season, as Horton hit thirteen goals in 47 games, leaving him one goal behind top-scorers Ray Williams and Terry Bailey. He hit four goals in 35 games in the 1975–76 season, including both of Vale's goals in a win over Millwall at Vale Park. Much to the disappointment of Vale supporters, he was sold to league rivals Brighton & Hove Albion in March 1976 for a fee of £30,000. Their offer trumped the £25,000. offered by both Hereford United and Plymouth Argyle. In total he spent nearly six years with Port Vale, scoring a total of 37 goals in 258 games in league and cup competitions.

Brighton & Hove Albion
Manager Peter Taylor immediately installed Horton as club captain, giving him a contract worth £100-a-week. Brighton finished fourth at the end of the 1975–76 season, three points shy of promotion, and Taylor quit the club. Incoming manager Alan Mullery had planned to also play in midfield for the club but after witnessing Horton in his first training session he came to the conclusion that Horton would provide the necessary leadership and skill on the pitch, so Mullery retired as a player to concentrate fully on management. For his performances at both Vale and Brighton, Horton was named on the PFA Team of the Year, along with Brighton teammates Graham Cross and Peter Ward. The "Seagulls" finished second in 1976–77 under Mullery's stewardship, and thus were promoted into the Second Division. Mullery was However, disappointed in his players after they won only one of their final four games to miss out on the chance of winning the divisional title. Horton was named as the club's Player of the Year, ahead of 36-goal record-breaking top-scorer Peter Ward.

Albion made a fourth-place finish to the 1977–78 season, missing out on promotion to the First Division only because third-placed Tottenham Hotspur had superior goal difference. Undeterred, Brighton won promotion as runners-up in 1978–79, one point behind champions Crystal Palace and one point ahead of fourth-place Sunderland. Horton was named on the PFA Team of the Year for a second time, alongside teammate Mark Lawrenson. Brighton played top-flight football for the first time in their history in the 1979–80 season. The team got off to a poor start amidst discontent with the club's board over bonus pay, losing four of their opening five games and sinking to bottom of the league by November. However, they ended Nottingham Forest's 42-game unbeaten run. They would do the double over Brian Clough's team that season. They finished in 16th-place, some six points clear of the relegation zone. The 1980–81 season was a much narrower affair. Still, Brighton finished in 19th place, two points clear of relegated Norwich City, having won their final three games of the campaign. Mullery left the club and was replaced by Mike Bailey, who wanted Horton out of the club. He left the Goldstone Ground having scored 47 goals in 251 league and cup games.

Luton Town
Horton transferred to Luton Town in August 1981, as the club were competing in the Second Division under the stewardship of David Pleat. He was signed to replace Alan West, who had been sold on to Millwall. Horton was installed as captain and told to play a more attacking midfield role than he had previously been used to, playing in between a midfield three with Lil Fuccillo and Ricky Hill. He was again promoted into the top-flight, as the "Hatters" topped the Second Division table in 1981–82 by an eight-point margin, some 18 points clear of fourth-place Sheffield Wednesday. He was named on the PFA Team of the Year for the third time in his career, alongside teammates Kirk Stephens, Ricky Hill, and David Moss.

Luton then went on to escape relegation on the final day of the 1982–83 season at Maine Road, following a 1–0 over Manchester City, who took their place in the relegation zone. The match became famous for the images of David Pleat dancing across the pitch in jubilation. Pleat ran straight to Horton after finishing his dance and kissed his out-of-contract midfielder, telling him "you can go anywhere you want to". However, in the tunnel Horton was punched by Dennis Tueart, starting a brawl amongst the players. Horton was offered a contract by Chelsea, but could not agree on terms with the chairman Ken Bates, and instead signed a new two-year contract with Luton. Horton left Kenilworth Road after the 1983–84 campaign, as the club secured their top-flight status with a 16-place finish. He had played 131 first-team games for the club, scoring 14 goals. His next move was to Hull City, who appointed him their player-manager, and with whom he ended his playing career in 1986 after making 46 competitive appearances.

Style of play
Horton was a fiercely competitive wing-half who was skilled at tackling and passing.

Hull City
Horton became player-manager of Hull City in July 1984 and led his side to promotion to the Second Division at the end of the 1984–85 season. He quickly built up a reputation as a "strong-minded, tactically-aware coach." Due to the League Cup draw, three of his first four games as manager were against Lincoln City, and his very first game in charge was a 0–0 draw at Sincil Bank. In November, his team came from 4–1 down to beat Leyton Orient 5–4 after he instructed assistant manager Chris Chilton to "get some verbals going" at half-time. He signed former Luton Town teammate Frankie Bunn as a replacement for top-scorer Billy Whitehurst, who he sold to Newcastle United for £232,000. After promotion was secured, Horton was offered a place on the board of directors.

The club had an excellent youth policy, which saw talent such as Andy Payton and Leigh Jenkinson develop, though Nick Barmby was such a prodigious talent that he was signed to Tottenham Hotspur at the age of 16. Horton also brought in defender Richard Jobson from Watford for £40,000 and Garry Parker from former club Luton for £72,000. He attempted to sign Mark Bright from Leicester City for £45,000, but the chairman could not agree terms with the player. The 1985–86 season saw Hull come very close to earning promotion to the First Division, finishing in sixth-place, which was then the third-highest finish in the club's history. At the end of the campaign Horton quit playing to concentrate on full-time management, having been sent off against Crystal Palace in his final appearance. Despite the introduction of the play-off system in 1986–87, the "Tigers" ended the campaign in 14th-place.

The 1987–88 campaign began promisingly, and Hull was in the top six, chasing the automatic promotion places by the halfway stage. However, a dreadful run of results in which there was just one win in 17 games ended any hope of promotion. Their form was not helped by the sale of star play-maker Garry Parker to Nottingham Forest for a £270,000 fee, which Horton later admitted was a mistake. After a 4–1 home defeat to Swindon Town, chairman Don Robinson was furious and immediately fired Horton. The players took responsibility for the defeat and urged the chairman to reconsider. Robinson obliged, but Horton refused the offer of reinstatement. During his reign he turned down the opportunity to sign apprentice Dean Windass.

Oxford United
Horton's next move was to become assistant to former Brighton teammate Mark Lawrenson, now rookie manager at Second Division Oxford United in May 1988. Lawrenson left the Manor Ground in October 1988 after star player Dean Saunders was sold to Derby County without his consent, and the board elected Horton as his replacement; at the time both Derby and Oxford were owned by members of Robert Maxwell's family. The million pound fee for Saunders allowed Horton to build a squad of his own: former Brighton teammate Steve Foster (Luton Town), Wales international Andy Melville (£270,000 from Swansea City), New Zealand international Ceri Evans (free agent), defensive midfielder Mickey Lewis (part-exchange to Derby for Trevor Hebberd), Jim Magilton (£100,000 from Liverpool), John Durnin (£250,000 from Liverpool), and England under-21 international winger Paul Simpson (£200,000 from Manchester City). He also gave débuts to Joey Beauchamp and Paul Kee. Under his leadership, Oxford finished the 1988–89 Second Division campaign in 17th place. In preparation for the 1989–90 campaign, he exploited the relationship between Derby and Oxford to sign Dave Penney for £175,000. On the pitch, it was a case of deja vu, as Oxford finished the season in 17th place, again with 54 points. Hoping to build a promotion-winning squad for the 1990–91 campaign, he bought Doncaster Rovers defender Les Robinson for £150,000. The "Yellows" finished in tenth place, eight points off the play-off places.

The club faced a financial crisis following the mysterious death of Robert Maxwell, and over the summer, Horton was forced to sell striker Martin Foyle to Port Vale for £375,000. He made no major signings in Foyle's place and instead handed débuts to Paul Wanless, Chris Allen, and Bobby Ford. He also sold Paul Simpson to Derby for £650,000 in February 1992. The loss of close to £1 million of talent showed on the pitch, as Oxford ended the 1991–92 season one place and two points ahead of relegated Plymouth Argyle. They secured their safety with a final-day win over Tranmere Rovers. At the end of the season, he gave Steve McClaren his first job in management, putting him in charge of Oxford's youth team. There was less drama in 1992–93, as his side finished in 14th-place, seven points above the relegation zone. Over the summer, he paid Corby Town £20,000 for striker Matt Murphy, and sold Andy Melville on to Sunderland for £500,000.

Manchester City
In August 1993, four games after the start of the 1993–94 Premier League campaign, Horton resigned as Oxford manager to replace Peter Reid as manager of Manchester City – to the surprise of many supporters and commentators, who were expecting the appointment of someone more high-profile. Horton initially told chairman Peter Swales that "we have the makings, the backbone of a really good squad" and that he was satisfied in not making many additions if it meant keeping hold of the existing squad; he cancelled a pre-arranged sale of Steve Lomas to Preston North End. City's previous three seasons in the top-flight had yielded top-ten finishes, but Horton struggled with injuries – key striker Niall Quinn was missing through a cruciate ligament injury – and City were 20th and bottom in mid-February. He traded eight-year club veteran striker David White to Leeds United in exchange for David Rocastle; Rocastle failed to live up to expectations, and scored just two league goals. But then Horton transformed his attack by signing Uwe Rösler (Nürnberg), Paul Walsh (£750,000 from Portsmouth) and Peter Beagrie (£1.1 million from Everton), and City escaped relegation after losing only two of their last 14 games of the season.

Horton played with two out-and-out wingers in 1994–95: Peter Beagrie and £1.3million summer signing Nicky Summerbee (Swindon Town). This led to Rösler, Walsh and Quinn scoring 47 goals between them, but also to some heavy defeats, such as the 5–0 loss to rivals Manchester United. City were sixth on 3 December and there was talk of a much-awaited return to European football, as young talents such as Garry Flitcroft, Richard Edghill, and Steve Lomas came to the fore. However, they won only four of their remaining 25 league games, finishing just four points clear of relegation, and Horton was sacked. His sacking was predicted by many, as Francis Lee had taken over as chairman after Horton's appointment and wished to have his 'own man' in the dugout at Maine Road. City went on to suffer relegation the following season under Alan Ball and Horton said that "once I had left, Francis made transfers which I could not fathom".

Huddersfield Town
Horton made a swift return to management with Huddersfield Town, a club that had just won promotion to the First Division under Neil Warnock, who announced his surprise resignation days after the club's play-off success. Horton had been recommended to the club by Trevor Cherry. The "Terriers" started the 1995–96 campaign positively and enjoyed a mid-season run of just two defeats in 19 games. They also reached the fifth round of the FA Cup, where they lost to Premier League Wimbledon in a replay at Plough Lane. The team were on course for a play-off place, but a run of just three wins in their final 13 games left them in eighth-place, eight points behind sixth-placed Charlton Athletic.

Horton broke the club's transfer record when he splashed out £1.2 million on Bristol Rovers striker Marcus Stewart. However, he also sold top-scorer Andy Booth to Sheffield Wednesday for £2.7 million. Huddersfield finished the 1996–97 season just two places and eight points ahead of relegated Grimsby Town. Huddersfield had suffered injuries throughout the spine of the team as midfielder Lee Makel, striker Marcus Stewart and defender Andy Morrison (£500,000 from Blackpool) missed much of the campaign due to injury, though £325,000 summer signing Andy Payton proved to be a revelation, hitting 19 goals in all competitions. Horton was sacked in October 1997 following a defeat to Nottingham Forest at the Kirklees Stadium that left Huddersfield bottom of the table.

Brighton & Hove Albion
In February 1998, Horton returned to one of his old clubs when he became manager of Brighton & Hove Albion. The club were second-from-bottom in the Third Division and playing their home games 75 mi away at Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium. He led the club to victory over Chester City, Brighton's first win in five months. The "Seagulls" secured their Football League status in April after winning a point at league leaders Notts County. They went on to finish the 1997–98 season second-from-bottom, fifteen points clear of relegated Doncaster Rovers.

Aiming for a complete overhaul of the playing squad and unimpressed by the reserve and youth teams, Horton told chairman Dick Knight "I want 18 out and 18 in". One of the new arrivals was Gary Hart, signed from Stansted of the Essex Senior Football League for £1,000 and a set of kit. Other signings included Jamie Moralee (Crewe Alexandra) and Ian Culverhouse (Kingstonian), whilst he brought Martin Hinshelwood and Dean Wilkins onto the backroom staff. One unusual but effective piece of business was midfielder Paul Holsgrove, who Horton signed on a free transfer from Stoke City and then sold on to Hibernian for £113,000 in the same transfer window. Brighton started the 1998–99 campaign well, though Horton left the club in January 1999 to take charge of another of his old clubs, Port Vale, after the sacking of long-serving manager John Rudge.

Port Vale
To help the Vale to avoid relegation at the end of the 1998–99 season, Horton brought in five players: Dave Brammer (Manchester City), Tony Butler (Blackpool), Carl Griffiths (Leyton Orient), Alex Smith (Chester City), and Chris Allen (Nottingham Forest). This spending spree set the club back £630,000, and so Horton first sold off Peter Beadle to Notts County for £250,000 to raise the cash needed for his new signings. He won his first game in charge, a 2–0 win over Huddersfield Town, thanks to a brace from Martin Foyle. A five-game unbeaten run in April allowed the Vale to finish above relegated Bury on goals scored.

In a bid to survive another season in the First Division, Horton allowed ten players to leave Vale Park; the most significant departure was Neil Aspin, as the 34-year-old dropped down two divisions as his career wound down. To replace these players, Horton signed three players on free transfers: Jeff Minton from former club Brighton, Tommy Widdrington from Grimsby Town, and Steve Rimmer from Manchester City. As the season progressed, he released Marcus Bent and sold Carl Griffiths back to Leyton Orient for £100,000. He further sold highly rated young centre-back Anthony Gardner to Tottenham Hotspur for £1 million, and sold Tony Butler to West Bromwich Albion for £140,000. In their place he signed Micky Cummins, Mark Goodlad, Sagi Burton, and Ville Viljanen; and also took Martin Bullock, Gareth Taylor, and David Healy in on loan. His side finished second-from-bottom and was relegated in his first full season as manager. At the end of the campaign, Martin Foyle retired, whilst key players Paul Musselwhite and Ian Bogie also departed.

In preparation for life in the Second Division, Horton signed Dean Delany, Marc Bridge-Wilkinson and Michael Twiss on free transfers. Horton came under pressure from the board at the start of the 2000–01 campaign, as his team went 13 games without a win, and were knocked out of the FA Cup by non-League Canvey Island. Horton described it as "the greatest embarrassment of my football career". He responded to this humiliation by placing five players on the transfer list. He signed Steve Brooker for £15,000; brought in Onandi Lowe and Richard Burgess on free transfer, whilst also offloading Jeff Minton to Rotherham United. Vale's form improved, as they avoided defeat to Stoke City in both Potteries derby games. Horton was named Manager of the Month in March, after a good run of results ended fears of a second successive relegation. He also won his first trophy as a manager as Vale lifted the Football League Trophy, coming from behind to beat Brentford at the Millennium Stadium. Vale upset supporters by selling Dave Brammer to Crewe Alexandra for £500,000.

The club entered a financial crisis following the collapse of ITV Digital, which cost the club £400,000 in revenue. This meant Horton had to build his squad for the 2001–02 season entirely on free transfers, the most influential proving to be former Coventry City striker Stephen McPhee. Vale beat rivals Stoke City but ended the season in 14th place. Horton was named Manager of the Month after his team earned 13 points from a possible 18 in February. Horton signed Jon McCarthy, Brett Angell, Ian Brightwell, Phil Charnock, Sam Collins, and Mark Boyd for the 2002–03 campaign. Four straight defeats were followed by five consecutive victories, as he supplemented his squad with the additions of Lee Ashcroft, Peter Clarke and Adrian Littlejohn. Though relegation was avoided, Horton still remained unpopular with some sections of the Vale's supporters. However, the season was dominated by off-the-field issues, as Vale entered administration, and were taken over by Bill Bratt's fan-based consortium.

Building for the 2003–04 campaign, Horton had to find a replacement for departing defender Matt Carragher. He found his replacement in Everton's reliable young George Pilkington; he also signed goalkeeper Jonny Brain and Austrian defender Andreas Lipa. By the start of the campaign Horton had completed the rebuilding of his squad that was necessitated by the financial crisis and the ageing of the highly successful side of the mid-1990s. A good start saw the club top of the table and Horton was named as Manager of the Month. The Vale were one point outside the play-offs by February, at which point Horton tendered his resignation.

Macclesfield Town
Linked with the management position at Swansea City, Horton was instead appointed as manager of struggling Third Division club Macclesfield Town at the start of April 2004, replacing John Askey, who stayed on as a coach. This was initially until the end of the season. Still, Horton was given the job permanently in May. He rejuvenated a demoralised side and kept them in the Football League, as they finished seven points clear of the relegation zone in 2003–04. Over the summer he signed Iraqi international Jassim Swadi, experienced striker Mike Sheron, veteran defender Tony Barras, left-back Mark Bailey, and Tommy Rooney. He allowed Martin Carruthers to leave, though extended Tommy Widdrington's contract, and offered fresh deals to six others. He later added to his squad by signing Mark Boyd and Simon Weaver; whilst transfer listing Tommy Widdrington and Michael Welch. Many pundits were tipping the "Silkmen" to slip out of the newly named League Two at the end of the 2004–05 season, but Horton proved the observers wrong as his side were in the top-seven of the division virtually all season long. Horton celebrated his 1000th game as a manager on 3 November 2004, as Macclesfield beat Mansfield 4–0 in the Football League Trophy. He also won the League Two Manager of the Month award for February. Macclesfield qualified for the play-offs in sixth place, but their promotion challenge was finally ended by Lincoln City in the semi-finals, following a 2–1 aggregate defeat. At the end of the season, Horton released nine players, including club captain Matthew Tipton. In the place of these nine players he signed Kevin Sandwith, Kevin Townson, Martin Bullock, and David Beresford.

Despite high expectations, Horton's men were not to challenge for promotion in the 2005–06 season. The club were hit by financial troubles after being told they had to pay fines totalling £250,000, and at one point were at risk of being wound up. As a result, Horton was forced to cope without assistant John Askey, after Askey was dismissed to cut costs. The sale of top-scorer Jon Parkin also robbed Horton of his best player. Following a poor start to the season he placed four players on the transfer list. He also placed Kevin Townson on the transfer-list, before sacking the striker after Townson displayed "serious misconduct". Throughout the campaign, Horton signed goalkeeper Tommy Lee, striker Clyde Wijnhard, midfielder Alan Navarro, forward Allan Russell, and striker Matty McNeil. The "Silkmen" finished in 17th-place, five points above the relegation zone. Horton prepared for the 2006–07 campaign by searching for a new midfield player, and found one in Shrewsbury Town's Jamie Tolley. He also signed versatile attacker Colin Heath, defender Carl Regan, and former Port Vale goalkeeper Jonny Brain; whilst releasing five players. Horton was sacked in October 2006, after his team failed to win any of their opening twelve league games, leaving them bottom of the Football League.

Assistant to Phil Brown
In May 2007, Horton returned to Hull City as assistant manager to Phil Brown; this appointment came 19 years after he resigned as Hull manager. His contacts were instrumental in bringing in Fraizer Campbell on loan from Manchester United, who would score 15 goals in 37 games for Hull. He helped the club win promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs in May 2008, the first time Hull City made it to the top-flight in their 104-year history. In March 2009, Horton was featured heavily in the press after accusing Arsenal club captain Cesc Fàbregas of spitting following an encounter in the FA Cup. Fàbregas was later cleared of any wrongdoing. The "Tigers" struggled in the 2009–10 season, and Phil Brown was put on gardening leave on 15 March, as Horton and Steve Parkin were appointed as the club's joint-caretaker managers. Horton offered to stay on until the end of the campaign but Hull instead appointed Iain Dowie, who could not keep the club from being relegated.

In January 2011, Phil Brown was appointed manager of Preston North End, and Horton was appointed as his assistant. Preston were relegated from the Championship at the end of the 2010–11 campaign. Horton left Preston when Phil Brown was sacked on 14 December 2011.

Return to Macclesfield Town
In March 2012, following the departure of Gary Simpson, Horton returned to Macclesfield Town as manager for the rest of the 2011–12 season. Assisted by Glyn Chamberlain, he had been tasked with steering the club clear of relegation from League Two, much the same task as he faced the first time he was appointed manager. A 2–0 defeat to Burton Albion at Moss Rose on 28 April sent the "Silkmen" into the Conference after 15 years in the Football League. He stepped down as manager on 30 April, having gained just two points from his eight games in charge.

Later career
Horton turned down the chance of joining Phil Brown for a third time, now at Southend United. In June 2013, he was appointed as assistant manager to Paul Dickov at Championship club Doncaster Rovers. He left the role in July 2015. He was appointed as football coordinator at Southend United by Phil Brown in August 2015. He left Roots Hall on 17 January 2018 after Brown was placed on gardening leave. On 15 March 2018, Brown appointed Horton as his assistant at new club Swindon Town. However, Horton left the club just two months later, ending the pair's 11-year partnership in management.

Personal life
He married Denise, a computer programmer, in the 1970s. They had twins: Matthew and Lucy. He married his second wife, Val, in October 2002. Before meeting Val he had released her son, Simon McMain, from the Manchester City youth team. Horton was diagnosed with prostate cancer and went public with the news in October 2023 after being persuaded to do so by Mick Harford.

Talk:Sacrament meeting

Correct
I did not write the main article. When I read it, I saw the This article did not list its sources label at the bottom. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I was impressed at the correctness of this article. Surely the otiginal author is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, how can you site sources if the sole source is going to one of these meetings every week? You can't quite list that in a bibliography, can you? I'd suggest going to the Church's non-member site or to the Official site of the Church and seeing if you can learn more. If you doubt that this article is correct, there is an e-mail the Church option at www.mormon.org where you can ask "What happens at a Sacrament Meeting?" or you can go to one to see. Everything in this article is correct. I have been going to Sacrament Meetings all my life. Once again, I did not write the main article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.200.116.69 (talk • contribs) 20:29, 5 June 2005

History
Wondering about the history of sacrament meeting and when the sacrament was first administered in the LDS Church. I am unaware of any sacrament administration before the founding of the Church in 1830. However, when Joseph Smith wondered about baptism, the visit of John the Baptist brought about the first baptisms. Was there a similar wondering about the sacrament? The Wiki article on Sacrament (LDS Church) states that weekly administration of the sacrament did not begin until sometime in the 1850s. Is this the time when the "Sacrament Meeting" started? There is room in this article for a bit of history. John Dyson — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.92.148.209 (talk) 23:35, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries (New Brunswick)

The Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries is an executive agency of the Government of New Brunswick. It is in charge of the development and support of food production and economic development through such sectors of the economy.

History
The department was established on March 23, 2000 when Premier Bernard Lord restructured the New Brunswick Cabinet. It was a merger of the former departments of Agriculture and Rural Development and Fisheries & Aquaculture first under the name of the Department of Food Development and later under the name Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture. The creation of this department was very controversial and marked by protests by both farmers and fishers, though primarily farmers, who felt that the new department would not be specialized to adequately address their issues.

When Shawn Graham became Premier on October 3, 2006, he appointed a Minister of Agriculture and Aquaculture and a Minister of Fisheries. On March 2, 2007, a bill disbanding this department and creating a Department of Agriculture and Aquaculture and a Department of Fisheries received royal assent, the bill was retroactive to October 3, 2006. When Graham left office, Alward re-merged the departments under the new name Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries.

Browns Park

Brown's Park or Browns Park, originally called Brown's Hole, is an isolated mountain valley along the Green River in Moffat County, Colorado and Daggett County, Utah in the United States. The valley begins in far eastern Utah, approximately 25 mi downstream from Flaming Gorge Dam, and follows the river downstream into Colorado, ending at the Gates of Lodore in Dinosaur National Monument. Known as a haven for outlaws such as Butch Cassidy and Tom Horn during the late 19th century and the early 20th century, it is now the location of the Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge. It was also the birthplace of Ann Bassett. She and her sister, Josie Bassett, were considered female outlaws and girlfriends to several of Cassidy's Wild Bunch gang. It is the location of John Jarvie Historic Ranch, where, in 1880, Scotsman John Jarvie built a ranch along the Green River.

History
According to Robert Redford, The earliest-known reference to Brown's Park was made in 1650 in the writings of Father Ortiz, a Spanish missionary. In 1825, the expedition of William H. Ashley and his fur trappers penetrated the valley in bull-boats along the Green River. In 1827 Kit Carson traded here among the Ute and Shoshone Indians. The same year a trader named Baptiste Chalifoux came to the valley with his Indian wife and the valley was named in his honor under the alias 'Baptiste Brown'."

In the early 19th century, when the Euro-Americans first entered the area, the area was inhabited by Comanche, Shoshoni, and Ute tribal groups. Blackfoot, Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Navajo tribes also visited or used the area. The use of the area by Native Americans was documented by the 1776 Domínguez–Escalante expedition and by the 1805 Lewis and Clark Expedition. In the 1830s the valley became a favorite location for fur trappers and settlers. In 1837 Fort Davy Crockett was constructed as a trading post and as defense against attacks by the Blackfoot. The fort was abandoned in the 1840s and the population of settlers declined. After the discovery of gold in California in 1848, the valley emerged among ranchers as a favorite wintering ground for cattle. By the 1860s it had acquired a reputation as haven for cattle rustlers, horse thieves, and outlaws, alongside Hole-in-the-Wall, Wyoming and Robbers Roost in Utah. During its outlaw heyday, the Browns Park ethic allowed for most "outlaw deeds" except murder.

In 1965 the valley became part of the Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge, designated as a habitat for migratory waterfowl. The refuge contains the remains of several historic sites, including "Two Bar Ranch" headquarters; Fort Davy Crockett; Lodore Hall (which still serves as a community center); and several old abandoned cabins and homesteader settlements.

Węgorzewo

Węgorzewo (until 1946 Węgobork; Angerburg, Ungura) is a tourist town on the Angrapa River in northeastern Poland, within the historical region of Masuria. It is the seat of Węgorzewo County in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and is located not far from the border with Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast. Lake Mamry is close to the town.

Etymology
The town's names in different languages are derived from local names for European eels, which used to live in the area in great numbers. The German name Angerburg is derived from the Old Prussian word for eel, Anger, which the German Teutonic Knights appropriated after conquering the Old Prussians. The Polish name Węgorzewo (and the older Węgobork) is derived from Węgorz, while the local Lithuanian names Ungura and Unguris comes from Ungurys. A Lithuanian variation is Angerburgas.

Beginnings
The town was first mentioned in a 1335 chronicle as Angirburg, or "eel castle", a settlement of the Teutonic Knights with a block house, a palisade, and a watchtower. A 1341 document reported that the Teutonic Order had bestowed land on the river Angerapp (Angrapa) upon twelve Old Prussians for their loyal service. The Grand Duke of Lithuania, Kęstutis, destroyed the castle in 1365, although it was rebuilt in 1398. The completion of the stone castle Angerburg allowed the Teutonic Knights to increase development of the surrounding countryside.

Polish suzerainty
In 1454, the region was incorporated by King Casimir IV Jagiellon to the Kingdom of Poland upon the request of the anti-Teutonic Prussian Confederation. After the subsequent Thirteen Years' War, since 1466, it formed part of Poland as a fief. The land around the castle began to be settled by the end of the 15th century. As it was primarily farmland, the Lake Mamry was blocked up to allow the construction of a watermill. Ca. 1510 a locality known as Neudorf ("new village") or Gerothwol had developed near the Angerburg. After the foundation of the Duchy of Prussia as a fief of the Kingdom of Poland in 1525, Angerburg/Węgobork became the seat of a district head. It was granted town rights in 1571. The Polish inhabitants called the city by its Polish name Węgobork. A large part of the town was destroyed by a fire in 1608, including a wooden church and the 20-year-old town hall.

Being situated in Masuria, in the transition area with the ethnographic region of Lithuania Minor, Węgobork/Angerburg had a Polish majority with sizable minorities of Germans and Lithuanians (Lietuvninks). The town suffered from the Swedish-Polish Wars, attacks by the Tatars, and plague epidemics, the last outbreak of which occurred in 1710 and claimed 1,111 victims. To help repopulate the town, 48 people from Salzburg, Austria were resettled here in 1732. The Lithuanian minority diminished after the 16th and 17th centuries, while Poles still formed the majority of the district's population in the early 19th century (52% in 1825).

Kingdom of Prussia
Angerburg became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701 and was named a garrison town of the Prussian Army in 1718. A harbor was built on the Angerapp, allowing an aqueduct to be built in 1740, as well as an expansion of the garrison to include ten barracks. A water supply system was built in 1740 by Jan Władysław Suchodolec. Angerburg had approximately 1,800 inhabitants at this time. Its inhabitants suffered from warfare, however, as Angerburg was occupied by Russian troops during the Seven Years' War. During the Napoleonic Wars, typhus was brought by Russian troops and the town was plundered by French and Polish troops.

King Stanisław Leszczyński of Poland stopped in the castle in March and May 1736.

Angerburg was included in the Prussian province of East Prussia in 1773 and became the district seat of Landkreis Angerburg in 1818. The town became part of the German Empire upon the Prussian-led unification of Germany in 1871. A teaching seminary and a deaf-mute school were opened in 1820, and the town's population increased to over 3,500. In year 1825, the county of Angerburg/Węgobork (including the town) had 24,351 inhabitants, including (by mother tongue): 12,535 (~52%) Polish, 11,756 (~42%) German and 60 Lithuanian. Between 1848 and 1858, Polish pastor and opponent of Germanisation of Masuria Jan Fryderyk Anders was a pastor of the Węgobork Lutheran Parish. Polish secret resistance was active and smuggled weapons through the town to the Russian Partition of Poland during the January Uprising. In November 1864, local resistance leader Albert Mahler was arrested by the Prussians.

The canalization of the Angerapp and the expansion of the harbor in 1856 allowed business to expand, and the garrison left the town in 1858. The district court and the office of the public prosecutor moved from Angerburg to Lyck (Ełk) after the Kreistag, or district parliament, hindered the connection of the town to developing road network and railways. Four annual fairs and two weekly markets were held in the town in the late 19th century. Angerburg was first connected to the railroad network in 1898, allowing it to develop into a trade center. The town became especially known for its Behindertenanstalt Bethesda, an institute for those with mental retardation.

World Wars
Angerburg became a garrison town again after the outbreak of World War I (1914–18), when it had a population of 5,800 inhabitants. The German-Russian military cemetery Jägerhöhe was located nearby. The war did not impact the town greatly, and Angerburg grew through new housing developments afterwards. Angerburg also began to develop through tourism after the opening of the Angerapp to regular navigation. At the beginning of the Third Reich, the town had a population of 7,700 which profited from a local cavalry regiment. Through incorporation of neighboring communities, Angerburg expanded to include 10,922 inhabitants in 1939.

Like the rest of East Prussia, Angerburg was initially only indirectly affected by World War II (1939–45), such as casualties of war and supply shortages. This situation changed as the eastern front grew near during the winter of 1944-45. Unlike the neighboring town of Gołdap to the east, Angerburg was not involved in fighting, but was given up by the Wehrmacht as the Soviet Red Army advanced. After the Red Army reached Elbing (Elbląg) and cut off East Prussia from the rest of Germany, the citizens of Angerburg were forced to evacuate the province by traveling across the Vistula Lagoon or to Pillau. The Red Army reached Angerburg on January 25, 1945 and destroyed much of the town; only a few buildings remained of the old town center.

Modern Poland
Under the terms of the post-war Potsdam Conference, the town became again part of Poland and was renamed Węgorzewo.

Węgorzewo initially suffered economically after the fall of the Iron Curtain and the Revolutions of 1989, but has become a popular tourist site in the Masurian Lake District. The town is famous for the music festivals which take place in summertime, including a rock festival, a sailors' song festival, and a poetic song festival.

John McLaren, Lord McLaren

John McLaren, Lord McLaren, FRSE (17 April 1831 – 6 April 1910) was a British Liberal politician and judge. In the scientific world he is remembered as a mathematician and astronomer.

Life
The son of Duncan McLaren, a former Provost of Edinburgh and Member of Parliament, and his wife Grant Aitken, he was born at 21 South St David Street, in Edinburgh's New Town.

He studied law at Edinburgh University. He was admitted to the Scottish Faculty of Advocates in 1856. In 1869 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, his proposer being Robert William Thomson. He served as the society's vice president for three sessions: 1885 to 1891; 1892 to 1898; and 1901 to 1906.

He held the office of Sheriff of Chancery in Scotland 1869–1880. He reorganised the Liberal party and arranged Gladstone's Midlothian campaign of 1879–1880.

He was elected Member of Parliament for Wigtown Burghs in April 1880 and appointed Lord Advocate, losing his seat on seeking re-election on 20 May 1880. He failed to be elected at Berwick-upon-Tweed on 21 July 1880, but was returned for Edinburgh on 28 January 1881. McLaren's father Duncan McLaren had resigned as MP for Edinburgh, which produced the vacancy to be filled. McLaren continued to sit for Edinburgh until he was appointed as a judge, later in the year. He was Lord Advocate for Scotland during 1880–81.

Under pressure from Gladstone and Sir William Harcourt, he accepted appointment to the bench in 1881 with the judicial title Lord McLaren. He was an eminently successful judge, and edited works on Scots law. For his contributions to astronomy and mathematics he was awarded honorary degrees (all LLD) from Edinburgh University, the University of Glasgow and the University of Aberdeen.

Lord McLaren died in Brighton in Sussex on 6 April 1910 but was returned to Edinburgh for burial in the Grange Cemetery on its southernmost path. The original bronze medallion head was stolen but it is replaced with an accurate and convincing plastic replica.

Publications
McLaren wrote a number of books on legal topics, including Law of Wills and Succession.

Family
In 1868 he married Ottile Schwabe (d.1914). Their children largely died in childhood. Their eldest daughter was Ottilie McLaren.

Artistic recognition
His portrait by Sir John Lavery is held in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery but is seldom displayed.

Commodore 64
I think this is very well-written and extensive without being overly drawn out. Passes featured criteria in my view. --DanielNuyu 20:37, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment. This is a great article, and obviously a huge amount of work has gone into it. I would suggest saying something about it in relation to the other machines that it was competing with in that era (TRS-80 and Apple II). Although the technical info is clearly linked to, it would help to have some references for the statements about the history. Not sure about the legality of the screenshots of proprietary software, although it's hard to imagine anybody really objecting when it comes to stuff this old.--Bcrowell 23:00, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. A really interesting article (C64s were before my time, and this is a great read for someone who's first PC ran on Windows 95!), and as long as there are no problems with the screenshots this will hopefully pass FA easily. Well done to those who wrote the article. Harro5 04:44, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * There are computer users that never used a C64?! The first computer I used... Ok I won't finish that. This makes me feel old, and I'm not that old. (Not that there's anything wrong with being old :) I'll give some useful comments when I have a chance to read the whole article. - Taxman Talk 23:47, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * So how old are you? 30? 40? :)

 * Support. I'm not really a computer geek, and this is way to old for me, but it's well-written and interesting. --Scimitar 19:00, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. This informative and enjoyable article does not cite sources for its many assertions.  I recognise that the ==References== section probably lists all the sources but I seek closer links between source and text. Like Bcrowell, I would also like to see more comparative information for the C64's competitors. Less significantly, in the ===C64 successors and the 64C=== section, did the external design of the 64C really 'reflect "modernism"'? Was it not simply following contemporary workstation design trends? --Theo  (Talk) 23:13, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with you on the point about the 64C, and a new change reflects your suggestion. As for the inline citations, I am not one of the original authors and cannot contribute in that vein; in my opinion, however, the article is concise and modular enough to logically tie certain pieces of information to specific references as listed. --DanielNuyu 22:56, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Support - I am old enough to remember these (a few friends had one; I had a Sinclair Spectrum) and this article looks fine to me. -- ALoan (Talk) 12:51, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Object - The article is great, but it does not talk about the SX-64 at all. If derivatives like the C64GS and the C64DTV are described in lenght, there should be a section about the SX64, too. (Preferably with a picture, if possible) -- Marcika 13:19, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Support - (Sort of a self-vote, Since I'm a regular contributor to the C64 article.) I've added the suggestions above, (namely C64 competitors, SX-64) which should hopefully address most of the concerns about the article. By the way, you don't have to be that old to have used a C64... My first computer was a Commodore VIC-20 and that is older than the C64 and I'm only 26! ADSR6581 13:12, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Would you be able to contribute any inline citations in order to alleviate the last part of Theo's objection? --DanielNuyu 22:25, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but I will require more specific information about the assertions he is concerned about. ADSR6581 22:47, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support- I read the artical over. I believe it has what is needed for it to be a featured artical.  --ZeWrestler 14:54, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Conditional support - though I love the aside (really!), we still need a source for the following: "(In fact, one webmaster of a Commodore 64 games museum website mentioned that to this day, he does not know how the game Clystron's title screen managed to display 4 different colours on the same 8×8 pixel block without halving the horizontal resolution.)" - Ta bu shi da yu 09:38, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I have removed the reference, as I could not find the source. It was submitted by someone without a username (see here ).ADSR6581 11:47, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support Mostly for previously-stated reasons.  Sahasrahla 19:03, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
