On 12 January 2012 a one-star review of <mask>' book, The Selection, was posted on the book reviewing site Goodreads, and on the reviewer's blog. Later on the same day, <mask> <mask>' literary agent, Elana Roth, posted a series of derogatory tweets on the social networking site Twitter. In a conversation that <mask> and Roth believed was private—but was, in fact, public—Roth called the reviewer names and both Roth and <mask> discussed how best to bump the negative review down and boost positive reviews by manipulating the ranking system themselves. The controversy sparked an article by Publishers Weekly speaking out against this practice and raised an outcry from multiple reviewers, bloggers, and publications against the cyber-bullying of non-professional reviewers by authors and agents.

<mask> (October 15, 1671May 21, 1746), chief justice of New York and British governor of New Jersey, was the first lord of the manor of Morrisania in New York City (in what is now  the Bronx). Biography
Born on the estate of his parents, <mask> (originally from Monmouthshire, Wales) and Sarah (Pole) <mask> in 1671, this <mask> was the first in a lengthy string of men with the same name to  inherit the prominent estate of Morrisania in the southwest section of today's Bronx. Richard and Sarah moved their estate from Barbados to the Bronx after buying the estate from Samuel Edsall in 1670 when it was still known as Broncksland. As the name suggests, Broncksland was the original settlement of Jonas Bronck and his wife, for whom the borough is named. In the fall of 1672, both Richard and Sarah died, leaving only the infant <mask>, barely a year old, as the lord of the manor. Although the manor was left in the trust of five prominent Westchester citizens until <mask> could rightfully inherit the estate, Matthias Nicoll, secretary of the colony, sent word to Colonel <mask>, the infant's uncle in Barbados. Col. <mask> immediately made plans to move to Morrisania to care for his young nephew and his nephew's estate, which had been somewhat embezzled.Col. <mask> made great pains to secure his nephew's lost property, including a few slaves that had been captured and resold. He was even successful in petitioning for an additional land grant with the help of family friend, Walter Webley. When the childless Col. <mask> and his wife, Mary, died, the now fully-grown <mask> inherited the estate in 1691. Career

texts: during the administration of Governor Andrew Hamilton. After the late 1690s the government of East and West Jersey became increasingly dysfunctional. This ultimately resulted in the surrender by the Proprietors of East Jersey and those of West Jersey of the right of government to Queen Anne. Anne's government united the two colonies as the Province of New Jersey, a royal colony, establishing a new system of government.On July 29, 1703, in the instructions to Governor Viscount Cornbury <mask> was appointed to the New Jersey Provincial Council, and would serve, with several suspensions, through the administrations of seven governors. During much of this time <mask> was President of Council. <mask> and Cornbury soon found themselves at opposition, and Cornbury responded by suspending <mask> from the upper house. The first time, in September 1704, <mask> apologized to the governor and was reinstated, but in December 1704 Cornbury suspended him. <mask> was elected to a seat in the New Jersey General Assembly in 1707, representing an at-large constituency within the Eastern Division of New Jersey. After the recall of Cornbury by the Crown, <mask> was reinstated to the Council in the June 27, 1708 instructions to Baron Lovelace; Lovelace died eleven months later, and <mask> was again suspended, this time by Lt. Gov. Richard Ingoldesby.<mask> was again reinstated to the Council in the instructions to Governor Robert Hunter, with whom he had a good relationship. Sir William Cosby, who served as governor of New York and New Jersey (as did all governors beginning with Viscount Cornbury), showed little interest in New Jersey politics, started a feud with <mask> because of a decision of the New York Supreme Court. <mask> was Chief Justice, and wrote a dissenting minority

<mask> (or Tackett) (April 22, 1803 – February 7, 1886) (sometimes rendered as <mask>, but no official documents support this name) was a 19th-century politician, pioneer Methodist minister, stockman, teacher, farmer, Indian fighter, and Confederate officer. Tackitt was a key figure in the history of Arkansas and North Texas, including a state representative in the Arkansas General Assembly. Because of his battles with Indians in Texas, Tackitt became known as "the Fighting Parson". Early life
Tackitt was born in Henry County, Kentucky, to Virginian <mask> and Mary Elizabeth Bashum, and was one of seven children. The Missouri Methodist Conference assigned <mask> as missionary to the Western Cherokees in Arkansas in 1829. He was a circuit rider for two years and then assigned to mission schools. He married Kezia Frances Bruton on August 20, 1830, in Pope County, Arkansas.He served one term in the Arkansas General Assembly before joining a Texas-bound caravan in the autumn of 1853. Life in Texas
<mask> settled first in the spring of 1854, two years before Parker County was organized, on Walnut Creek, about four miles west of Springtown, Texas. He founded Goshen Church, and helped clear ground for the adjoining cemetery after providing shelter for his family. He preached his first Texas sermon in the cabin home of Hezekiah Culwell, and regularly held services at Goshen, Springtown, and Ash Creek, where he helped build churches. In 1857, he organized the First United Methodist Church of Weatherford, Texas. Then, the Texas Methodist Conference transferred <mask> to Fort Belknap, Texas, to spread the gospel to friendly Indians and white settlers. He organized churches in Palo Pinto, Shackelford, and Young Counties,

 including one at Graham, Texas.Tackitt at one time had 143 appointments requiring 1,200 miles of travel to visit all. Tackitt Mountain in Young County was named for him in memory of the skirmish there in 1860 between the Tackitt family and a band of Indians led by a Comanche known to the settlers as Piny Chummy (or Pine-o-Channa). During the American Civil War, Tackitt served as chief justice and postmaster in Young County and as enrolling officer in the Confederate States Army. Final years
An often-told story emphasizes the major scares the Tackitts endured at their Fish Creek home south of Ft. Belknap. One of the family's cows came home with an arrow protruding from her back. <mask> and his three oldest sons, James, Lycurgus and George, armed themselves and went to bring home the remainder of their herd. They were returning from the Tackitt Mountain area with the animals when 10 Indians rose from a ravine ambush.When the arrows and bullets ceased, four attackers lay dead, and James had a dangerous arrow point lodged in his skull and <mask> was suffering from a point that pierced one foot. Both suffered great pain, but survived. Frontier life had tense episodes, but all <mask>'s children lived long lives, mostly into their 80s. His brother, Mann Darius <mask>, was not so lucky. He was slain by a pillaging Indian band on his ranch in Jack County. <mask> returned to Parker County in the last years of his life and is buried in Goshen Cemetery beside his wife. Frontier life
According to a 1925 article in Frontier Times magazine, "I wish now to record one of the best Indian fights ever fought on our northern frontier by citizens against Indians.This fight like the major part of our frontier life and battles with

Tackitt was armed with a rifle and dragoon six-shooter; <mask> had a rifle and Navy six-shooter, and L. L. Tackitt had a double-barreled shot gun and Navy six-shooter. The first Indian raid into Young county after they were moved to the Indian territory was in January 1860. On the evening of January 13, one of the Tackitt's milk cows came home with an arrow sticking in her back.Mrs. Tackitt, after discovering the arrow when she went to milk, went to the house and reported the fact. It was then late in the evening. Rev. Tackitt and the three older boys above named made ready to start the next morning on foot to see if they could find the Indians and also learn what they had done with other stock. There had been a deep snow and sleet on the ground for a week or 10 days. The Tackitts then lived on Fish Creek in Young County. Early on the morning of the 14th about sunrise, the Rev.Tackitt and the three boys left home in pursuit of the Indians; they took the back trail of the cows and after having gone some two miles, they came to where the Indians had killed one of their cows and had… He and George both rain to the trees and in suddenly stopping behind the trees they both slipped on the snow and fell. Jim and Rev. <mask> by this time were slightly wounded. The Indians seeing L. L. and George fall when they ran to the trees evidently thought they were killed and instantly dropped their bows and arrows in the branch and made a sudden rush. Children

<mask>n (died circa 950) was a military general during the Five Dynasties period, serving successively the Jin–Later Tang, Later Jin, and Southern Tang dynasties. He was of Tuyuhun ethnicity. <mask> is best known for his 940 revolt against the Later Jin, after which he fled to Southern Tang. Later Jin demolished the Southern Tang force sent to receive him, and from this point on Southern Tang never dared to encroach on Central Plains again. Early life
<mask>n was born in the 880s during the Tang dynasty. Originally a menial servant of the Shatuo general <mask>, <mask>n was described as fearless and skilled in mounted archery. As <mask> served the warlords <mask> and his son <mask>u, <mask>n also fought in battles and won military merits.The Shatuo state, known as Jin after the Tang's collapse in 907, became Later Tang in 923. Under Later Tang
After <mask> became Later Tang's emperor in 926, he appointed <mask>quan military commissioner of Longwu (), seated in Jing Prefecture in the western part of the empire. <mask>n's governance was greedy and oppressive. Following his recall to the capital Luoyang, he presented dozens of horses to <mask> (then renamed <mask>) as a gift, followed by another herd a few days later. This shocked the emperor, who questioned him: "You must suffer from a plentitude of horses. Why else would you offer so many? Moreover, you serve at Jing Prefecture.How would you characterize conditions there? Surely, you do more than merely trade in horses?" <mask>n was too ashamed to reply. <mask>n later governed Henghai (), seated in Cang Prefecture in the northeast. He was again recalled to the capital to command the "Right Guard" of the imperial guards at some point. Under Later Jin

 imperial guards. On 3 September 937, Wang Hui (), director for defense reserves at An Prefecture, assassinated Zhou Gui (), military commissioner of Anyuan ().Anyuan, seated in An Prefecture, was in the southern part of the empire bordering Wu to the southeast. Later Jin's emperor Shi Jingtang, busily fighting the rebellion of Fan Yanguang in the north, could not afford to battle on two fronts. Therefore, he issued a "letter-on-arrow" against slaughtering a single person in Anyuan, while also promising Wang Hui governorship of Tang Prefecture if he surrendered. He then sent <mask>n with a 1000-man cavalry to Anyuan to induce Wang Hui's surrender, and before <mask>'s departure, admonished him: "Do not compromise my credibility!". Indeed, Wang was about to flee to Wu, but he was killed by a subordinate before <mask>n arrived in An Prefecture. <mask> arrested hundreds of mutineers and delivered them back to the capital. As Wang Hui had looted An Prefecture for 3 days, many of his officers acquired large numbers of properties.<mask>n then executed dozens of such officers to appropriate their wealth for himself. One such officer, Wu Kehe (), cried out before his execution: "If you, commander, contravene
imperial rescripts to kill surrendering soldiers, then you may not escape peril yourself!" Even though Shi Jingtang heard about <mask>'s disobedience, he could not do anything. Instead, to appease <mask>, he appointed him military commissioner of Anyuan on 11 October 937. In Anyuan, <mask>n entrusted a greedy and immoral man named Hu Hanyun () with the day-to-day operations of the military and government. After Shi Jingtang heard of Hu Hanyun's excesses, he sent an honest administrator named Jia Renzhao () to Anyuan to replace Hu. Hu was terrified, so he persuaded <mask>n to submit

Hu Hanyun then sent soldiers to massacre Pang <mask>'s entire family. He also poisoned Jia Renzhao to death. Because Hu Hanyun colluded with the flatterer Zhang Wei (), <mask>n knew nothing of his wrongdoings and trusted him more than ever. In summer of 940, Shi Jingtang decided to replace <mask>n with Ma Quanjie (). Knowing Jia Renzhao's sons would file court complaints for their father's murder, Hu Hanyun warned <mask>n of the possible punishment he would also face in the capital: "Formerly, the Son of Heaven summoned me, but you violated imperial orders by refusing to relieve me." <mask>n then prepared to rebel.Having heard the news, on 29 June 940, Shi Jingtang named Ma Quanjie the overall commander of the punitive force against <mask>n. The soldiers of this force came from 12 prefectures. At that time, Wu had already been replaced by Southern Tang, and <mask>n sent Zhang Wei to Southern Tang to offer his surrender. Southern Tang's emperor <mask> then commissioned a 3000-man force under general <mask> () and Duan Chugong () to receive <mask>n from E Prefecture. <mask>n and his hundreds of soldiers surrendered without a problem, and <mask> got hold of his women and wealth as well. Feeling overconfident, <mask> disobeyed <mask>'s orders and plundered An Prefecture, acquiring items of "gold and silk too numerous to count". When the Southern Tang army finally retreated, they were caught up by the Later Jin army.In the bloody two-day battle that followed, Duan Chugong was killed, while <mask> was captured. Ma Quanjie executed <mask> and thousands of Southern Tang soldiers. <mask>n

Under Southern Tang, <mask>n served as the commander general of Tianwei () and military commissioner of Zhenhai () seated in Run Prefecture. In 947, Later Han succeeded Later Jin (with a short period of Liao dynasty interregnum). In 948, general <mask> (who was under Ma Quanjie's command in 940) rebelled against Later Han in its western parts of the empire and requested help from Southern Tang.General <mask> () volunteered to lead an expeditionary force, but Southern Tang's emperor <mask> considered <mask>n more prestigious, so <mask>n was named the overall commander of the northern expedition army with <mask> assisting him. <mask>n considered <mask>'s forces too far to make any coordinated efforts, and as a result the deployment was permanently postponed, even as reports indicated only hundreds of weak Later Han soldiers guarding the northern garrisons. When other generals suggested advancing, <mask>n said, "Whoever mentions advancing will be executed!" It turned out that there was indeed an ambush by Later Han, and when the other generals learned of this that evening, they began to respect <mask>n. A month later, <mask>n was recalled and sent to Hai Prefecture. Subsequently he received other major posts, until his death in 950 in the Southern Tang capital of Jinling. Notes and references

title: Ray Gricar

texts:
<mask> (; born October 9, 1945, missing since April 15, 2005) was an American lawyer who served as the district attorney of Centre County, Pennsylvania, from 1985 until 2005. On April 15, 2005, Gricar went missing under mysterious circumstances and has not been heard from since. After he had been missing for over six years with no trace of his whereabouts, Centre County authorities declared Gricar legally dead on July 25, 2011. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, <mask> received his Juris Doctor degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Law and began his career as a prosecutor for Cuyahoga County. He moved to State College, Pennsylvania, around 1980 and, after a brief stint as an assistant district attorney, was elected district attorney of Centre County in 1985. He was re-elected four times before announcing that he would not run for re-election in the 2005 campaign. Gricar was reported missing to authorities after failing to return home from a road trip.His car was found in Lewisburg with his cell phone inside, and at a later date his laptop computer and the laptop's hard drive was found in the adjacent Susquehanna River. The hard drive was found in a different location of the river than the laptop was found, which indicated that the hard drive was removed before the laptop was tossed into the river. No further trace of Gricar has been found. Early life and career
<mask> was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and grew up in the city's Collinwood neighborhood. He attended high school at the Gilmour Academy, a prestigious Catholic school in Gates Mills, and enrolled at the University of Dayton (UD), where he became interested in studying law after working as an intern for the prosecutor's office. After graduating, Gricar moved back to Cleveland to study law at Case Western Reserve University School of Law. He obtained his Juris Doctor

 and subsequently took a job as a prosecutor for Cuyahoga County, specializing in prosecuting cases of rape and murder.In 1980, Gricar moved to State College, Pennsylvania, where his wife had taken a job at Pennsylvania State University (or Penn State). He opted to become a stay-at-home dad to his young daughter following the move. However, Centre County District Attorney David E. Grine offered Gricar an assistant position, which he accepted. In 1985, the incumbent district attorney, Robert Mix (Grine's successor), chose not to run for re-election, and Gricar ran for the open position. He won the election by a margin of 600 votes. Gricar's office was part-time when he was elected, and he successfully campaigned to make it full-time in 1996. He was re-elected in 1989, 1993, 1997, and 2001.During his tenure, in 1998, Gricar declined to press charges against longtime Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky following allegations of child sexual abuse; Sandusky was charged and convicted of multiple counts of sexual abuse thirteen years later. In 2004, Gricar announced he would not run for re-election and would retire from practicing law altogether in December 2005, shortly after his 60th birthday. Personal life
Gricar met Barbara Gray during his undergraduate study at UD. She moved to Cleveland with him after graduation and they married in 1969. They adopted a baby girl, Lara, in 1978. <mask> and <mask> divorced in 1991; <mask> married again in 1996, but divorced in 2001. In 2002 or 2003, Gricar moved in with his girlfriend Patty Fornicola, an employee of the Centre County District Attorney's office.He was living with Fornicola in her childhood home in Bellefonte at the time of his disappearance. Gricar's older brother Roy disappeared from his West Chester, Ohio, home in May 1996. His body was found a week later in the

 Ontrack failed to recover anything from it. In April 2009, Bellefonte police revealed that before Gricar's disappearance, someone had used the home computer at the residence he shared with Fornicola to perform internet searches on topics such as "how to wreck a hard drive", "how to fry a hard drive" and "water damage to a notebook computer". In June 2011, Gricar's daughter Lara, who was trustee of his estate, petitioned Centre County to declare him dead. County President Judge David E. Grine declared him "dead in absentia" on July 25, 2011. The following day, police in Utah arrested on a misdemeanor charge a man resembling Gricar, who refused to reveal his identity. This "John Doe" resembled Gricar in height and weight, lips, and even some wrinkles, and the similarities led to speculation that Gricar had been found. Centre County authorities sent copies of Gricar's fingerprints to Utah, but they did not match.Authorities eventually identified the man. Theories
There are three main theories as to what happened to Gricar. The primary theory is he committed suicide just as his brother had done, something supported by the similarities between the two cases. Police working on the case believed this theory to be most likely, although his family did not believe this. Although Gricar was a poor swimmer, he had no medical history of depression or of suicidal thoughts. He was also reportedly looking forward to his upcoming retirement. The second theory is foul play.Early on it was suggested that <mask>'s disappearance might be linked to the unsolved death of Jonathan Luna, an Assistant U.S. Attorney who was found dead in a Lancaster County creek in December 2003. Gricar had recently been involved in a police operation busting a heroin dealing ring, and the criminals concerned were investigated for any links to his disappearance, but none

 were found. Suggestions were also made that Gricar's decision to decline to prosecute Sandusky for alleged child sexual abuse might be linked to his disappearance. Gricar's own family came under suspicion: both his girlfriend and his stepdaughter were asked to take polygraphs by the police, which they both passed. The third theory is that Gricar wished to start a new life and therefore engineered his disappearance. He allegedly expressed interest in the case of a Cleveland police chief who had disappeared in order to start a new life. Multiple sightings of Gricar were reported after his disappearance, most notably in a bar in Wilkes-Barre, where both the bartender and an off-duty police officer claimed to have seen him watching a baseball game.It has also been suggested that Gricar may have taken off to central Europe; he was semi-fluent in Russian and fluent in Slovenian. He had relatives in Slovenia and had made trips to this region of the world in the past. In popular culture
Gricar's disappearance was the subject of television documentary programs, including episodes of Haunting Evidence on Court TV in June 2006, Disappeared on Investigation Discovery in February 2011,  news magazine Dateline NBC in December 2011, and an episode of Crime Junkie podcast in January 2020. An episode of the drama Without a Trace on CBS referred to the case. See also

After an injury to starting quarterback Zach Wilson early in the 2nd quarter of a Week 7 matchup against the New England Patriots, <mask> made his regular season debut. He immediately moved the Jets into the endzone with a touchdown pass to Corey Davis. Early in the 3rd quarter, he led another touchdown drive, but the Jets missed the two point conversion which would have made it a two score game. From there, the Patriots ran away with it as <mask> finished the game with 202 passing yards, one touchdown, and 2 interceptions in the 54–13 loss. With Wilson still injured, he made his first career start against the Cincinnati Bengals on October 31, 2021.<mask> briefly left due to a head injury but returned, finishing the game completing 37 of 45 passes for 405 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions as the Jets won 34–31. He was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance.

<mask>, OBE, FRGS (born ) is the first person to walk to both Poles. He was born on 28 July 1956 in Durham, England, and attended Aysgarth School and then Sedbergh School (1969–1974) before completing a BA degree in Ancient History (1976–1979) at St Chad's College, Durham University. He is currently an advocate for the protection of Antarctica and renewable energy. <mask> is also the founder of 2041, a company which is dedicated to the preservation of the Antarctic and the author with Gil Reavill of Antarctica 2041: My Quest to Save the Earth's Last Wilderness. In November 2017, <mask> undertook the South Pole Energy Challenge, the first expedition of its kind: a 600-mile journey to the South Pole with his son <mask>, surviving solely using renewable energy. South Pole: "In the Footsteps of Scott" (1984–1987)

Southern Quest set sail on 3 November 1984 to travel the  to Antarctica. The expedition stopped over in Lyttelton, New Zealand, to meet Bill Burton, who at 96 years old was the last surviving member of Scott's expedition in 1912.<mask>'s initial Antarctic expedition was thus officially dubbed "In the Footsteps of Scott". Upon arrival on the frozen continent, <mask> and his team spent the Antarctic winter at the Jack Hayward Base with colleagues John Tolson and Dr. Michael Stroud. When the winter had passed, <mask>, Roger Mear and Gareth Wood set out to walk  to the South Pole. They arrived at the South Pole on 11 January 1986, after 70 days without the aid of any radio communications or back-up support and having hauled  sledges. <mask>'s team had achieved the longest unassisted march ever made in history. Once at the pole, they received the bad news that their ship, Southern Quest, had been crushed by pack ice and had sunk, just minutes before they arrived. There was much criticism of the adventure from the scientists working in Antarctica as time and money had to be spent in flying some of the party back out to New Zealand.However, <mask> returned in 1987 with a ship to collect the rest of the team at Jack

Three years after reaching the South Pole, <mask> assembled a team of eight people from seven nations for an attempt at the North Pole. The Icewalk expedition team consisted of: Dr. Misha Malakhov from Russia, Rupert Summerson of the UK, Graeme Joy of Australia, Arved Fuchs of Germany, Hiroshi Onishi from Japan, Angus Cockney of the Inuit, and Daryl E<mask> of the US. The expedition was called "Icewalk". Icewalk's base camp held 22 representatives from 15 nations, with the US represented by Mike Doyle and photojournalist Michael Forster Rothbart. They produced a series of educational films there and facilitated the removal of rubbish from the surrounding Arctic wilderness. <mask> and his team reached the North Pole on 14 May 1989.The team nearly drowned during their expedition due to the unseasonable melting of Arctic ice. Their journey made <mask> the first man to walk to both the North and South Poles, unassisted. Cleaning up 1500 tons of waste from Antarctica
In 1992, <mask> was invited by the United Nations to be a keynote speaker to the first Earth Summit for Sustainable Development, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In response to the world leaders' challenge to "think global act local", <mask> made a commitment to deliver a global and local environmental mission involving industry, business, and young people to the next World Summit in 2002. In 1996–97, he organised One Step Beyond, The South Pole Challenge, which brought 35 young adventurers from 25 nations together in Antarctica. They came together to define the global mission that <mask> had been tasked with at the Earth Summit. The mission was to remove and recycle 1,500 tons of waste that had been left at Bellingshausen station in Antarctica after decades of scientific research.The team worked for eight years to raise the money, plan, and execute the mission. The rubbish at the Russian base of Bellingshausen, King George Island,

Swan's 67' foot racing yacht 2041 was named after the year in which the 'Madrid Protocol' comes up for debate. The protocol, signed by nearly every nation, provides additional protection for the Antarctic Treaty and designates the continent as "a Natural Reserve Land for Science and Peace". It also places a ban on mining and mineral exploration in Antarctica for 50 years (1991–2041). In 2002, <mask> and his 2041 sailboat embarked on the longest overland voyage in history. The voyage's destination was the 2002 World Summit for Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa.<mask> partnered with loveLife – a charity battling AIDS in South Africa. The voyage reached out to over 750,000 young people across South Africa. During the World Summit, the 'Ice Station' exhibit was visited by 128 world leaders and 35,000 visitors, including 12,000 young people. It was awarded first prize for outstanding contribution to the World Summit. The Cape to Rio Yacht Race, January–April 2003

Special Counsel <mask> told the Washington Post, "Political forecasts, just generally . . . I do not regard as illegal political activity." White House Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino described the briefings to reporters: "It's not unlawful and it wasn't unusual for informational briefings to be given. There is no prohibition under the Hatch Act of allowing political appointees to talk to other political appointees about the political landscape in which they are trying to advance the president's agenda."Dismissal of United States Attorneys Controversy

<mask>  (20 September 1842 – 27 March 1923) was a British chemist and physicist. He is best known for his invention of the vacuum flask, which he used in conjunction with research into the liquefaction of gases. He also studied atomic and molecular spectroscopy, working in these fields for more than 25 years. Early life
<mask> was born in Kincardine, Perthshire (now in Fife) in 1842, the youngest of six boys of <mask> and <mask>, a vintner. He was educated at Kincardine Parish School and then Dollar Academy. His parents died when he was 15. He attended the University of Edinburgh where he studied chemistry under Lyon Playfair (later Baron Playfair), becoming Playfair's personal assistant.<mask> also studied under August Kekulé at Ghent. Career
In 1875, <mask> was elected Jacksonian professor of natural experimental philosophy at the University of Cambridge, becoming a fellow of Peterhouse. He became a member of the Royal Institution and later, in 1877, replaced Dr John Hall Gladstone in the role of Fullerian Professor of Chemistry. <mask> was also the President of the Chemical Society in 1897 and the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1902, as well as serving on the Royal Commission established to examine London's water supply from 1893 to 1894 and the Committee on Explosives. While serving on the Committee on Explosives, he and Frederick Augustus Abel developed cordite, a smokeless gunpowder alternative. In 1867 <mask> described several chemical formulas for benzene. One of the formulae, which does not represent benzene correctly and was not advocated by <mask>, is sometimes still called Dewar benzene.In 1869 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, his proposer being his former mentor, Lyon Playfair. His scientific work covers a wide field – his earlier papers cover topics including organic chemistry, hydrogen and its physical constants, high-temperature research, the temperature of the Sun and of the electric spark, spectrophotometry,

About 1892, the idea occurred to him of using vacuum-jacketed vessels for the storage of liquid gases – the Dewar flask (otherwise known as a Thermos or vacuum flask) – the invention for which he became most famous. The vacuum flask was so efficient at keeping heat out, it was found possible to preserve the liquids for comparatively long periods, making an examination of their optical properties possible.<mask> did not profit from the widespread adoption of his vacuum flask – he lost a court case against Thermos concerning the patent for his invention. While <mask> was recognised as the inventor, because he did not patent his invention, there was no way to prevent Thermos from using his design. He next experimented with a high-pressure hydrogen jet by which low temperatures were realised through the Joule–Thomson effect, and the successful results he obtained led him to build at the Royal Institution a large regenerative cooling refrigerating machine. Using this machine in 1898, liquid hydrogen was collected for the first time, solid hydrogen following in 1899. He tried to liquefy the last remaining gas, helium, which condenses into a liquid at −268.9 °C, but owing to a number of factors, including a short supply of helium, <mask> was preceded by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes as the first person to produce liquid helium, in 1908. Onnes would later be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research into the properties of matter at low temperatures – <mask> was nominated several times, but never succeeded in winning the Nobel Prize. In 1905, he began to investigate the gas-absorbing powers of charcoal when cooled to low temperatures and applied his research to the creation of high vacuum, which was used for further experiments in atomic physics.<mask> continued his research work into the properties of elements at low temperatures, specifically low-temperature calorimetry, until the outbreak of World War I. The Royal Institution laboratories lost a number of staff to

 the war effort, both in fighting and scientific roles, and after the war, <mask> had little interest in restarting the serious research work that went on before the war. Shortages of scholars necessarily compounded the problems. His research during and after the war mainly involved investigating surface tension in soap bubbles, rather than further work into the properties of matter at low temperatures. Family

He married Helen Rose Banks in 1871. They had no children. Helen was sister-in-law to both Charles Dickson, Lord Dickson and <mask> Hamilton Dickson.His nephew, Dr Thomas William <mask> FRSE (1861–1931) was an amateur artist, who painted a portrait of Sir <mask>. He is presumably also the same Thomas William <mask> as mentioned as executor in <mask>'s will, ultimately replaced "unopposed" by <mask>'s wife. Royal Institution Christmas Lectures
<mask> was invited to deliver several Royal Institution Christmas Lectures:
A Soap Bubble (1878)
Atoms (1880)
Alchemy in Relation to Modern Science (1883)
The Story of a Meteorite (1885)
The Chemistry of Light and Photography (1886)
Clouds and Cloudland (1888)
Frost and Fire (1890)
Air: Gaseous and Liquid (1893)
Christmas Lecture Epilogues (1912)

Honours and awards

Whilst <mask> was never recognised by the Swedish Academy, he was recognised by many other institutions both before and after his death, in Britain and overseas. The Royal Society elected him a Fellow of the Royal Society in June 1877 and bestowed their Rumford (1894), Davy (1909), and Copley Medal (1916) medals upon him for his work, as well as inviting him to deliver their Bakerian Lecture in 1901. In 1899, he became the first recipient of the Hodgkins gold medal of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, for his contributions to knowledge of the nature and properties of atmospheric air. In 1904, he was the first British subject to receive the Lavoisier Medal of the French Academy of Sciences, and in 1906, he was the first to be awarded the Matteucci Medal of
