Daniel Appleton (December 10, 1785 – March 27, 1849) was an American publisher who founded D. Appleton & Co.

Early life
Daniel Appleton was born on December 10, 1785, in Haverhill, Massachusetts. He was the son of Daniel Appleton (1750–1828) and Lydia (née Ela) Appleton (1747–1826).

Career
After a few years of schooling, he started a general store in Haverill. He moved to Boston and had his business office at 21 Broad Street, where he sold dry-goods imported from England. Finally, in 1825, he moved to New York City where he gradually combined the importing of books with the dry-goods trade. The book department was placed in charge of William Henry Appleton, his eldest son.

Later, he moved to Clinton Hall, Beekman Street, and devoted himself to the importation and sales of books, abandoning his dry-goods business. He published his first book in 1831. He gradually diversified. In 1841, he began offering children's books. In 1845, he began sending books to Latin America which—despite his lack of contacts—turned out to be a good market for him due to its recent independence from Spain. His business in that region was enduring and profitable. In 1847, he started offering travel literature.

The firm which he established in New York City became known as D. Appleton & Co. The publications of the house extend over the entire field of literature. The firm's New American Cyclopedia was for 50 years the largest and most widely circulated work of its kind ever produced in the United States. His company was continued by his descendants.

Appleton retired in 1848.

Personal life
On December 18, 1813, Daniel married Hannah Adams (1791–1859), the daughter of John Adams and Dorcas Falkner, who bore him eight children:

 William Henry Appleton (1814–1899), who married Mary Moody Worthen, daughter of Ezra Worthen and sister of William Ezra Worthen, in 1844.
 Maria Louisa Appleton (b. 1815), who married James E. Cooley (1802–1882)
 John Adams Appleton (1817–1881)
 Charles Horatio Appleton (1819–1820)
 George Swett Appleton (1821–1878), who married Caroline Osgood, daughter of Robert H. Osgood, in 1847.
 Daniel Sidney Appleton (1824–1890), who married Melvina W. Marshall (d. 1878), daughter of Charles H. Marshall, in 1858.
 Samuel Frances Appleton (1826–1883)
 Sarah Emeline Appleton (1829–1861), who married Leopold Bossange, of Paris.

Appleton died in New York City on March 27, 1849.

Victor Manson Spencer (1 November 1896 – 24 February 1918) was a volunteer from Invercargill, New Zealand who fought in the Otago Infantry Regiment of the New Zealand Division in World War I. Spencer was executed for desertion on 24 February 1918, despite later suggestions that he was severely traumatised by shellshock, having fought and survived several campaigns.

New Zealand soldiers were subject to New Zealand military law which, like all nations involved in the conflict, had the death penalty for a number of crimes, including desertion. Out of the 28 death penalties handed down by the New Zealand military. only four were carried out, the rest being quashed by the British commanders of the armies involved. (In addition, New Zealand Private Jack Braithwaite was executed by the British for mutiny.) By contrast, death penalties imposed on Australian soldiers had to be confirmed by the Governor-General, which the Australian government did not allow, although Australians were hanged at Shepton Mallet prison for civil crimes.

Spencer was formally pardoned, along with Braithwaite and the three others, under the provisions of the Pardon for Soldiers of the Great War Act 2000, which was passed by the New Zealand Parliament in a departure from custom, since pardons are normally granted by the Crown and are rarely posthumous. The grounds for the pardon was that the execution was not a fate that Spencer deserved, but was one that resulted from (a) the harsh discipline that was believed at the time to be required; and (b) the application of the death penalty for military offences being seen at that time as an essential part of maintaining military discipline.

Section 8 of the Pardon for Soldiers of the Great War Act reads thus:

Spencer was included in the mass pardon of 306 British Empire soldiers executed for certain offences during the Great War enacted in section 359 of the UK Parliament's Armed Forces Act 2006, and which came into effect by Royal Assent on 8 November 2006.

He is buried in The Huts Cemetery, Dikkebus, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium.

Glucotropaeolin or benzyl glucosinolate is a glucosinolate found in cruciferous vegetables, particularly garden cress.  Upon enzymatic activity, it is transformed into benzyl isothiocyanate, which contributes to the characteristic flavor of these brassicas.

Occurrence
The compound was first reported in 1899, after its isolation from Tropaeolum majus, a nasturtium species. Glucotropaeolin is now known to occur widely in other brassica families including Caricaceae, Phytolaccaceae, Resedaceae, Salvadoraceae and Tovariaceae.

Structure

The chemical structure of glucotropaeolin was confirmed by total synthesis in 1957. This showed that it is a glucose derivative with β-D-glucopyranose configuration. At that time it was unclear whether the C=N bond was in the Z form, with sulfur and oxygen substituents on the same side of the double bond, or the alternative E form in which they are on opposite sides. The suggestion was made that the Z form was more likely, based on the known decomposition to benzyl isothiocyanate by a mechanism analogous to the Lossen rearrangement. However, when an identical product was obtained by an alternative route in 1963, it was pointed out that the E form would be expected to rearrange in a similar way. The matter was settled by X-ray crystallography and other spectroscopic studies and it is now known that all natural glucosinolates are of Z form.

Synthesis

Biosynthesis
Glucotropaeolin is biosynthesised from the amino acid phenylalanine in a multi-step pathway.

Laboratory synthesis
The first laboratory syntheses served to confirm the compound's structure. Later work allowed many glucosinolates including this benzyl derivative to be made. These processes are more efficient than isolating pure materials from the plants in which they are naturally found.

Function

The natural role of glucosinolates are as plant defense compounds. The enzyme myrosinase removes the glucose group in glucotropaeolin to give an intermediate which spontaneously rearranges to benzyl isothiocyanate. This is a reactive material which is toxic to many insect predators and its production is triggered when the plant is damaged. This effect has been called the mustard oil bomb. At concentrations typically found in foods, the glucosinolates are not toxic to humans and can be useful flavor components.

Alexandra Aerodrome  is an aerodrome 2 NM (3.7 km) northwest of Alexandra, New Zealand.

History 

The aerodrome saw South Pacific Airlines of New Zealand (SPANZ) operate Douglas DC-3 services from December 1960 to February 1966; then Mount Cook Airlines used Britten-Norman Islanders from 1969 to 1991, connecting to Dunedin and Queenstown. Goldfields Air flew during 1985–86 to Christchurch. Pacifica Air flew into Alexandra during 1988–89; and Airlink during 1989.

In 2007-2008 Mainland Air trialled scheduled services from Dunedin to Alexandra and Queenstown, but due to lack of patronage these did not continue. Mainland Aviation College, a division of Mainland Air, set up a flight training college in late 2009 which no longer operates in Alexandra The Central Otago Flying Club now operates a sole Cessna 172 as a training aircraft from Alexandra.

The Maine Nordiques were a professional ice hockey team that operated within the North American Hockey League from 1973 to 1977. They were based at the Central Maine Youth Center in Lewiston, Maine.  The Nordiques served as a farm club for the Quebec Nordiques of the World Hockey Association.

History
The team played for four seasons at Central Maine Youth Center, which had a seating capacity of just 2,800 fans.

The Nordiques were the Quebec Nordiques' top farm club, and were the only professional sports franchise in the state of Maine during the mid-1970s.

The club's all-time leading scorer was Paul Larose, who achieved 179 goals and 248 assists for the team between 1973 and 1977.  Larose and Alan Globensky were the only two players to appear in all four seasons.  Future National Hockey League players included goaltender Richard Brodeur and defenseman Paul Baxter.

Financial backers of the team included former Lewiston Mayor Bill Rocheleau, who led a group of local businesspeople who backed the Nordiques.  Rocheleau also served as league President during the NAHL's final season in the winter of 1976–1977.

Rebecca Ann "Becky" Carney (born December 25, 1944) is a Democratic member of the North Carolina House of Representatives representing the 102nd district since 2003. Her district includes constituents in Mecklenburg county. Carney is a homemaker from Charlotte, North Carolina.

In 2002, Carney defeated Libertarian Daniel Elmaleh in the general election. She had previously been elected in 1996 to the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners and served three terms, serving as vice chairman several times. Carney had an unsuccessful run for school board in 1995.

During a late night House session on July 2, 2012, Carney mistakenly cast the deciding vote to override Governor Bev Perdue's veto of Senate Bill 820, granting authority to make hydraulic fracturing legal in North Carolina. A longstanding House rule that disallows changing of a vote if the vote changes the outcome of the bill prevented Carney from correcting her electronic vote to reflect her intended position.

One of the Family (1993) was the last novel written by Monica Dickens, the great granddaughter of Charles Dickens.  It is set in Edwardian London where the world, like main character Leonard Morley's life, is changing.

Plot
The story starts when Leonard Morley receives a threatening note. Over time more of these notes turn up, and when the fourth has found its way to Morley, he resolves to tell his manager, William Whiteley. Before Morley can speak to him, Whiteley is shot and killed. In the end, Horace Rayner is charged with murder, Morley testifies at the trial, and Rayner is sentenced to life imprisonment.

Reception
Patrick Skene Catling praised the novel in the Evening Standard, writing, "Her last novel is up to her usual standard — humane, world wise and gently witty." 
 In a positive review for The Daily Telegraph, Kirsty Milne said, "Monica Dickens evokes the age of corsets and chloroform without slipping too far into the nostalgia trap. Her tendency to jump between a large cast of characters sometimes leaves the novel a little unfocused, but her brisk energy supplies a narrative drive of its own."

Jessica Mann stated in The Sunday Telegraph, "The plot concerns the actual murder of William Whiteley, of the Queensway store; but this is not a murder story. It is a rambling tale of an extended family. Although the cast is a few steps down in cast from Galsworthy's characters, we are in Forsyte territory."
