Thrift store chic is also popular among people who enjoy creating their own outfits from pieces of used clothing . This DIY ( do-it-yourself ) approach creates original articles of clothing that can be very personalized . For example , in the 1986 movie Pretty in Pink , Molly Ringwald 's character , Andie Walsh , is fond of taking clothing from thrift stores and creating a unique and eclectic wardrobe . One very memorable article is the prom dress she creates , made from merging two separate dresses .   During the 1990s , singers such as Kurt Cobain , Courtney Love , and Eddie Vedder promoted the look . Kurt Cobain 's style included uncoordinated and non-brand-name items of clothing that created the look of a carelessly cool grunge rock star . Clothes often had holes or tears in them and were worn in many layers , which hid the body . Cobain 's modest style contrasted from the aggressive and glamorous style of bands such as Guns N ' Roses . Fans of Nirvana found it easy to emulate his style , thus identifying themselves and the grunge movement . His thrift store style also reflected an ironic stance against corporate culture . Ironic , because his band had signed with the corporate music label Geffen Records .   Entering the 2000s , this look because associated with musical scenes including indie rock and emo , gradually spreading to the hipster movement . The hipster movement is popular among people in their 20s and 30s whose style attempts to reject mainstream trends . The hipster movement embraced thrift store chic because of its love for vintage items , especially clothing . Items that became popular for indie girls included flowery cotton dresses , cardigans , keffiyehs , and eyeglasses chosen deliberately for their unfashionable connotations . Hipster-thrift-store-chic embraces nostalgia and irony by combining old trucker-caps and vintage bowling t-shirts with worn luxury goods like leather jackets , old military dress uniforms as a protest against the war in Iraq , or used business wear , such as tweed cloth sportcoats .   With the stock market crash of 2008 , shopping at thrift stores became more widely accepted . Bragging about how much an item of clothing cost was no longer about how expensive it was , but rather how cheap it cost .  Showing off a six-hundred-dollar pair of shoes when people were losing their jobs was no longer tactful . In the United States , resale stores experienced an average of 35 % increase in sales . Purchasing used clothing has lost much of its stigma also due to the growing environmental movement towards consumption .  Because textiles can be difficult to recycle ( especially mixed blends ) , reusing clothing is considered environmentally friendly because it makes use of material that would have otherwise potentially ended up in a landfill .   In 2013 , the Macklemore and Lewis 's single `` Thrift Shop '' reached number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart . The song glorifies shopping at thrift shops and denounces expensive brands , such as Gucci , as `` getting tricked by a business . ''

query: Hunter S. Thompson was American.

pos: Hunter S. Thompson Hunter Stockton Thompson ( July 18 , 1937 -- February 20 , 2005 ) was an American journalist and author , and the founder of the gonzo journalism movement . Born in Louisville , Kentucky , to a middle-class family , Thompson had a turbulent youth after the death of his father left the family in poverty . He was unable to formally finish high school as he was incarcerated for 60 days after abetting a robbery . He subsequently joined the United States Air Force before moving into journalism . He traveled frequently , including stints in California , Puerto Rico , and Brazil , before settling in Aspen , Colorado , in the early 1960s .   Thompson became internationally known with the publication of Hell 's Angels : The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs ( 1967 ) . For his research on the book he had spent a year living and riding with the Angels , experiencing their lives and hearing their stories first-hand . Previously a relatively conventional journalist , with the publication in 1970 of The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved he became a counter cultural figure , with his own brand of New Journalism which he termed `` Gonzo '' , an experimental style of journalism where reporters involve themselves in the action to such a degree that they become central figures of their stories . The work he remains best known for , Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas : A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream ( 1971 ) , constitutes a rumination on the failure of the 1960s counterculture movement . It was first serialized in Rolling Stone , a magazine with which Thompson would be long associated , and was released as a film starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro and directed by Terry Gilliam in 1998 .   Politically minded , Thompson ran unsuccessfully for sheriff of Pitkin County , Colorado , in 1970 , on the Freak Power ticket . He became well known for his inveterate hatred of Richard Nixon , who he claimed represented `` that dark , venal , and incurably violent side of the American character '' and whom he characterized in Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ' 72 . Thompson 's output notably declined from the mid-1970s , as he struggled with the consequences of fame , and he complained that he could no longer merely report on events as he was too easily recognized . He was also known for his lifelong use of alcohol and illegal drugs , his love of firearms , and his iconoclastic contempt for authoritarianism . He remarked : `` I hate to advocate drugs , alcohol , violence , or insanity to anyone , but they 've always worked for me . ''   After a bout of health problems , Thompson committed suicide at the age of 67 . In accordance with his wishes , his ashes were fired out of a cannon in a ceremony funded by his friend Johnny Depp and attended by friends including then-Senator John Kerry and Jack Nicholson . Hari Kunzru wrote that `` the true voice of Thompson is revealed to be that of American moralist ... one who often makes himself ugly to expose the ugliness he sees around him . ''

neg: Mark Thompson (historian) Mark Thompson ( born 1959 ) is an award-winning British historian . The most recent of his four books is Birth Certificate : The Story of Danilo Kis ( 2013 ) , which was described by Adam Thirlwell , in a lead review in the Times Literary Supplement , as `` a great biography of the work as much as the life '' .   The White War . Life and Death on the Italian Front , 1915-1919 ( 2008 ) is the first comprehensive narrative history in English of the part played by Italy in World War I . It was selected as Book of the Week by The Guardian newspaper , and hailed there as `` magnificent ... original , masterly and definitive . ''   Forging War ( 1999 ) is an account of the media manipulation that took place before and during the Wars of Yugoslav Succession .   A Paper House ( 1992 ) is a political travelogue which describes the federal republic of Yugoslavia upon the brink of dissolution .   Thompson has also edited , with Louis Mackay , Something in the Wind : Politics after Chernobyl ( 1988 ) , and has translated fiction from French , Italian and Croatian .   His CV includes stints as the head of media analysis for the biggest peacekeeping mission mounted by the United Nations ( UNPROFOR ) , in 1994 and 1995 ; the first political officer to serve with the UN 's smallest peacekeeping mission ( UNMOP ) in 1997 ; the spokesman and head of media affairs for the mission to Croatia of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe ( OSCE ) in 1998 and 1999 ; and the Balkans Program Director of the International Crisis Group ( ICG ) in 2000 and 2001 .   In 2015 , Thompson took up a position as Reader in Modern History at the University of East Anglia ( half time ) . He lives in Oxford , where he supervises a small number of undergraduate and graduate students at the Faculty of History . Thompson is an alumnus of Merchant Taylors ' School , Northwood .

neg: Mohawk Valley formula The Mohawk Valley formula is a plan for strikebreaking purportedly written by the president of the Remington Rand company James Rand , Jr. around the time of the Remington Rand strike at Ilion , New York in 1936/37 .   The plan includes discrediting union leaders , frightening the public with the threat of violence , using local police and vigilantes to intimidate strikers , forming puppet associations of `` loyal employees '' to influence public debate , fortifying workplaces , employing large numbers of replacement workers , and threatening to close the plant if work is not resumed .   The authenticity of the written plan has never been clearly established . Although it was allegedly published in the National Association of Manufacturers Labor Relations Bulletin , no original copy has been found , nor does NAM list it among its pamphlets from that era . Parts of the plan use language sympathetic to the views of labor organizers . The Remington Rand company did indeed ruthlessly suppress the strikes , as documented in a ruling by the National Labor Relations Board , and the plan has been accepted as a guide to the methods that were used . At least one source names the strikebreaker Pearl Bergoff and his so-called `` Bergoff Technique '' as the origin of the formula . Rand and Bergoff were both indicted by the same federal grand jury for their roles in the Remington Rand strike .   Noam Chomsky has described the formula as the result of business owners ' trend away from violent strikebreaking to a `` scientific '' approach based on propaganda . An essential feature of this approach is the identification of the management 's interests with `` Americanism , '' while labor activism is portrayed as the work of un-American outsiders . Workers are thus persuaded to turn against the activists and toward management to demonstrate their patriotism .

neg: Jim Thorpe James Francis Thorpe ( Sac and Fox ( Sauk ) : Wa-Tho-Huk , translated as `` Bright Path '' ; May 22 or 28 , 1887March 28 , 1953 ) was an American athlete and Olympic gold medalist . A member of the Sac and Fox Nation , Thorpe became the first Native American to win a gold medal for his home country . Considered one of the most versatile athletes of modern sports , he won Olympic gold medals in the 1912 pentathlon and decathlon , and played American football ( collegiate and professional ) , professional baseball , and basketball . He lost his Olympic titles after it was found he had been paid for playing two seasons of semi-professional baseball before competing in the Olympics , thus violating the amateurism rules that were then in place . In 1983 , 30 years after his death , the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) restored his Olympic medals .   Thorpe grew up in the Sac and Fox Nation in Oklahoma , and attended Carlisle Indian Industrial School , where he was a two-time All-American for the school 's football team . After his Olympic success in 1912 , which included a record score in the decathlon , he added a victory in the All-Around Championship of the Amateur Athletic Union . In 1913 , Thorpe signed with the New York Giants , and he played six seasons in Major League Baseball between 1913 and 1919 . Thorpe joined the Canton Bulldogs American football team in 1915 , helping them win three professional championships ; he later played for six teams in the National Football League ( NFL ) . He played as part of several all-American Indian teams throughout his career , and barnstormed as a professional basketball player with a team composed entirely of American Indians .   From 1920 to 1921 , Thorpe was nominally the first president of the American Professional Football Association ( APFA ) , which became the NFL in 1922 . He played professional sports until age 41 , the end of his sports career coinciding with the start of the Great Depression . He struggled to earn a living after that , working several odd jobs . He suffered from alcoholism , and lived his last years in failing health and poverty . He was married three times and had eight children , before suffering from heart failure and dying in 1953 .   Thorpe has received various accolades for his athletic accomplishments . The Associated Press named him the `` greatest athlete '' from the first 50 years of the 20th century , and the Pro Football Hall of Fame inducted him as part of its inaugural class in 1963 . A Pennsylvania town was named in his honor and a monument site there is the site of his remains , which were the subject of legal action . Thorpe was portrayed in the 1951 film Jim Thorpe -- All-American , and appeared in several films himself .

neg: Cultural assimilation of Native Americans The cultural assimilation of Native Americans was an assimilation effort by the United States to transform Native American culture to European -- American culture between the years of 1790 -- 1920 . George Washington and Henry Knox were first to propose , in an American context , the cultural transformation of Native Americans . They formulated a policy to encourage the `` civilizing '' process . With increased waves of immigration from Europe , there was growing public support for education to encourage a standard set of cultural values and practices to be held in common by the majority of citizens . Education was viewed as the primary method in the acculturation process for minorities .   Americanization policies were based on the idea that when indigenous people learned United States ( American ) customs and values , they would be able to merge tribal traditions with American culture and peacefully join the majority of the society . After the end of the Indian Wars , in the late 19th and early 20th centuries , the government outlawed the practice of traditional religious ceremonies . It established Native American boarding schools which children were required to attend . In these schools they were forced to speak English , study standard subjects , attend church , and leave tribal traditions behind .   The Dawes Act of 1887 , which allotted tribal lands in severalty to individuals , was seen as a way to create individual homesteads for Native Americans . Land allotments were made in exchange for Native Americans ' becoming US citizens and giving up some forms of tribal self-government and institutions . It resulted in the transfer of an estimated total of 93 e6acre from Native American control . Most was sold to individuals or given out free through the Homestead law , or given directly to Indians as individuals . The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 was also part of Americanization policy ; it gave full citizenship to all Indians living on reservations . The leading opponent of forced assimilation was John Collier , who directed the federal Office of Indian Affairs from 1933 to 1945 , and tried to reverse many of the established policies .

neg: Clarence Smedley Thomas Clarence Smedley Thomas was a Progressive who founded the American Defense Society . Earlier in his career , he headed the Authors Syndicate Bureau with muckraker Will Irwin for the Progressive Party in 1912 , worked as a publicist for the Commission for Relief in Belgium , and focused on publicity efforts to improve hygiene . Thompson 's interest in national defense began with his work with the National Security League as one of its publicity heads , but he was irritated that the NSL 's founder , Solomon Stanwood Menken did not want to expand the NSL 's publicity tactics or criticize Wilson . Thompson wanted to include parades , speakers , and exhibits in publicity campaigns . The NSL did not comply , so a small group of urban professionals splintered from the NSL and created the American Defense Society . Thompson was joined by Cushing Stetson and John F. Hubbard , and they officially created the ADS on August 4 , 1915 .

neg: The Temptations of Jean-Claude Killy `` The Temptations of Jean-Claude Killy '' is an article published in the premiere issue of Scanlan 's Monthly in March 1970 , written by Hunter S. Thompson .   The subject of the article is Jean-Claude Killy , the alpine skiing champion who , in the 1968 Winter Olympics , became the second alpine skier ever to win three gold medals in a single olympic games . By the time of the article Killy , then 26 , was retired from skiing and had embarked on the next phase of his career -- endorsements .   Thompson 's article follows Killy around the United States during his marketing tour for the Chevrolet automotive company . As he attends automotive shows , holds press conferences , and makes appearances for television ( all in conjunction with fellow Chevrolet spokesman , O.J. Simpson ) Thompson chronicles the newly flush world of celebrity sports endorsements . Though endorsement by a sports figure was not an entirely new concept , the world-wide magnitude of Killy 's stardom made his Chevrolet contract something of a fascination for Thompson .   The article 's focus on the relative depths of the new pitch-man status obtained by Killy so shortly after the incredible heights he had achieved develops through acerbic descriptions of the settings Killy finds himself in , the automotive executives that profit by him , and the fans and onlookers who make him such a valuable spokesman . Through it all , Killy 's focus on his own enormous profit is a source of worry to Thompson . The trend he sees developing is one of larger-than-life stars -- athletes of the highest physical standards who have achieved feats unimaginable by normal people -- demeaning themselves and their accomplishments by agreeing to shill for a few extra dollars . An enormous sports fan himself , Thompson is distraught by this turn of events and wonders that Killy was never quite sure `` why I was embarrassed for him in those scenes . ''   Thompson compares Killy to F. Scott Fitzgerald 's Gatsby : although , unlike that character , Killy 's dollars are earned honestly , the author concludes while watching Killy 's selling of himself that `` nothing in his narrow , high-powered experience can allow him to understand how I can watch his act and say that it looks , to me , like a very hard dollar -- maybe the hardest . ''   The article was later included in Thompson 's collection The Great Shark Hunt ( 1979 ) .

neg: Polo Is My Life Polo Is My Life is an unpublished novel written by Hunter S. Thompson . It was briefly excerpted in Rolling Stone in 1994 , and which Thompson himself described in 1996 as '' ... a sex book -- you know , sex , drugs and rock and roll . It 's about the manager of a sex theater who 's forced to leave and flee to the mountains . He falls in love and gets in even more trouble than he was in the sex theater in San Francisco '' . The novel was slated to be released by Random House in 1999 , and was even assigned ISBN 0-679-40694-8 , but was not published .   Thompson recalled the origin of the title during the conclusion of an October 30 , 1998 interview on Charlie Rose : `` I remember this woman ... the title comes from ... I was talking to this woman that I developed a correspondence for -- a polo person -- and , she had a violent husband , the cops were all over me ... chasing me ; I said , ` Let 's go to Australia , go on a plane ... across Australia ' , and she said , ` You do n't understand . Polo is my life . I ca n't run away with you . Who would take care of my ponies ? ' That 's where Polo Is My Life comes from '' .

neg: Anthropological criminology Anthropological criminology ( sometimes referred to as criminal anthropology , literally a combination of the study of the human species and the study of criminals ) is a field of offender profiling , based on perceived links between the nature of a crime and the personality or physical appearance of the offender . Although similar to physiognomy and phrenology , the term `` criminal anthropology '' is generally reserved for the works of the Italian school of criminology of the late 19th century ( Cesare Lombroso , Enrico Ferri , Raffaele Garofalo ) . Lombroso thought that criminals were born with inferior physiological differences which were detectable . He popularized the notion of `` born criminal '' and thought that criminality was an atavism or hereditary disposition . His central idea was to locate crime completely within the individual and utterly divorce it from the surrounding social conditions and structures . A founder of the Positivist school of criminology , Lombroso opposed the social positivism developed by the Chicago school and environmental criminology .

He would eventually become an authority on the historical sociology of the plantation and its role in shaping European colonization of the New World . He studied sociology at the University of Chicago under Robert Park .   His doctoral dissertation , entitled The Plantation , helped to redirect research on the plantation away from climatic and racial theories .

neg: American poetry american ' poetry '' ' , the poetry of the United States , arose first as efforts by colonists to add their voices to English poetry in the 17th century , well before the constitutional unification of the thirteen colonies ( although before this unification , a strong oral tradition often likened to poetry existed among Native American societies ) . Unsurprisingly , most of the early colonists ' work relied on contemporary British models of poetic form , diction , and theme . However , in the 19th century , a distinctive American idiom began to emerge . By the later part of that century , when Walt Whitman was winning an enthusiastic audience abroad , poets from the United States had begun to take their place at the forefront of the English-language avant-garde '' .   The history of American poetry is not easy to know . Much of the American poetry published between 1910 and 1945 remains lost in the pages of small circulation political periodicals , particularly the ones on the far left , destroyed by librarians during the 1950s McCarthy era . The received narrative of Modernism proposes that Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot were perhaps the most influential modernist English-language poets in the period during World War I . But this narrative leaves out African American and women poets who were published and read widely in the first half of the twentieth century . By the 1960s , the young poets of the British Poetry Revival looked to their American contemporaries and predecessors as models for the kind of poetry they wanted to write . Toward the end of the millennium , consideration of American poetry had diversified , as scholars placed an increased emphasis on poetry by women , African Americans , Hispanics , Chicanos and other cultural groupings .

neg: American way The American way of life or simply the American way is the unique lifestyle of the people of the United States of America . It refers to a nationalist ethos that adheres to the principle of life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness . At the center of the American way is the American Dream that upward mobility is achievable by any American through hard work . This concept is intertwined with the concept of American exceptionalism , the belief in the unique culture of the nation .   Author William Herberg offers the following definition :   One commentator notes , `` The first half of Herberg 's statement still holds true nearly half a century after he first formulated it '' , even though `` Herberg 's latter claims have been severely if not completely undermined ... materialism no longer needs to be justified in high-sounding terms '' .   In the National Archives and Records Administration 's 1999 Annual Report , National Archivist John W. Carlin writes , `` We are different because our government and our way of life are not based on the divine right of kings , the hereditary privileges of elites , or the enforcement of deference to dictators . They are based on pieces of paper , the Charters of Freedom - the Declaration that asserted our independence , the Constitution that created our government , and the Bill of Rights that established our liberties .

neg: Pack hunter A pack hunter or social predator is a predator belonging to the animal kingdom which has evolved to hunt its prey by working together with other members of its species . Normally animals hunting in this way are closely related , and with the exceptions of humans and chimpanzees where only males normally hunt , all individuals in a family group will contribute to hunting . The most commonly known pack hunter is the gray wolf , the closest wild relative of all breeds of domesticated dog . Humans and their closest-living relatives chimpanzees are also pack hunters . Other pack hunting mammals include dolphins , lions , dwarf and banded mongooses and spotted hyenas . A number of avian social predators exist , including the Harris 's hawk , butcherbirds , three of four kookaburra species and many helmetshrikes . There are a few cold-blooded pack hunters including simple arthropods such as army ants , the yellow saddle goatfish and occasionally crocodiles .   There is a possibility that some non-avian theropod dinosaurs displayed pack behavior as well .   A social animal that always hunts , singly such as the domestic cat , is not a pack hunter .   Pack hunting is typically associated with cooperative breeding and its concentration in the Afrotropical Region is a reflection of this . Most pack hunters are found in the southern African savannas , with a notable absence in tropical rainforests and with the exception of the wolf and coyote , higher latitudes . It is thought that either on the ancient and poor soils of the southern African savanna it is not possible for individual predators to find adequate food , or that the environment 's inherent unpredictability due to ENSO or IOD events means that in very bad conditions it will not be possible to raise the young necessary to prevent declining populations from adult mortality . It is also argued that Africa 's very large area of continuous flat and open country , which was even more extensive while rainforest contracted during glacial periods of the Quaternary , may have helped encourage pack hunting to become much more common than on any other continent .   A shared pack hunting history is thought to be the main conduit through which humans have been able to form a mutual relationship with dogs ( that is , domestication ) , as both species are highly social and inter-dependent . Humans easily take over the dominance hierarchy of dogs as subordinates instinctively follow the `` alpha '' individual and dogs are accustomed to living very close together   When wolves hunt a Moose or Elk , it sometimes takes to deep water to avoid the pack . A wolf response to this behavior is that the pack rests with one or two wolves annoying the prey until it gets fatigued .

neg: William Gillette, America's Sherlock Holmes William Gillette , America 's Sherlock Holmes , by Henry Zecher , is the first full and in-depth biography of William Hooker Gillette ( 1853 -- 1937 ) , the American actor , playwright and stage-manager of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who is best remembered today for portraying Sherlock Holmes .   Gillette was among the first American playwrights to offer tightly-knit and well-constructed plays , Bronson Howard , Steele MacKaye and James Herne being the others , but his most significant contributions to the theater were in devising realistic stage settings and special sound and lighting effects , and , as an actor , in putting forth what he called The Illusion of the First Time . His portrayal of Holmes helped create the modern image of the detective . His use of the deerstalker cap ( which first appeared in some Strand Magazine illustrations by Sidney Paget ) and the curved pipe became synonymous with the character . And it was in his play , not in Arthur Conan Doyle 's stories , that Holmes first said `` This is elementary , my dear fellow , '' which subsequently became `` Elementary , my dear Watson '' . Gillette assumed the role onstage more than 1,300 times over thirty years , starred in a silent motion picture based on his Holmes play , and voiced the character twice on radio .   The author is a graduate of the University of Maryland School of Journalism , Class of 1971 . He was an award-winning sports writer and sports editor of the Delaware State News in Dover , Delaware , before embarking on a career in Federal government human resources . He has worked as a free-lance writer for many years and published a number of magazine articles , two of them of historical importance . One was an evaluation of German Reformer Martin Luther 's impact on the English Bible , and the other was the first analysis from a biblical and historical point of view of the Ipuwer Papyrus , first claimed by Immanuel Velikovsky and subsequently by others to have been an Egyptian version of the plagues on Egypt described in the Old Testament Book of Exodus .   This is Zecher 's first book .

neg: Hound & Horn Hound & Horn , originally subtitled `` a Harvard Miscellany '' , was a literary quarterly founded by Harvard undergrads Lincoln Kirstein and Varian Fry in 1927 . At the time , the college 's literary magazine The Harvard Advocate did not accept their work , so they convinced Kirstein 's father , the president of Filene 's Department Store in Boston , to fund the launch of their own literary magazine . Modeled on T. S. Eliot 's The Criterion , it was intended to focus on student life at the university and work submitted by its students and famous literary Harvard alumni . Later on in its run , the publication broadened in scope to include many modern writers .   The title of the magazine was taken from Ezra Pound 's poem `` The White Stag '' : `` Tis the white stag Fame we 're hunting , bid the world 's hounds come to horn . '' Contributions were made by writers such as Gertrude Stein , Katherine Ann Porter and a young Elizabeth Bishop . In 1928 , R.P. Blackmur became the magazine 's first managing editor , staying until 1930 when he resigned . Yvor Winters served as a regional editor . In 1930 , the magazine moved headquarters to New York City . It ceased publication in 1934 when Kirstein decided to fund George Balanchine and the newly established School of American Ballet .   It was the first to publish several writers who would later become famous , and to publish articles that would be historically significant , such as `` The Reappearance of photography '' by Walker Evans in 1931 .   Years after the journal 's demise , Ralph de Toledano approached Kirstein about reviving it . Despite initial interest by Kirstein , the project never came to fruition .

query: Marie Curie studied at the Floating University.

pos: Marie Curie Marie Skłodowska Curie ( -LSB- ˈkjʊri , _ kjʊˈriː -RSB- -LSB- kyʁi -RSB- ; -LSB- kʲiˈri -RSB- ; 7 November 18674 July 1934 ) , born Maria Salomea Skłodowska ( -LSB- ˈmarja salɔˈmɛa skwɔˈdɔfska -RSB- ) , was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity . She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize , the first person and only woman to win twice , the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences , and was part of the Curie family legacy of five Nobel Prizes . She was also the first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris , and in 1995 became the first woman to be entombed on her own merits in the Panthéon in Paris .   She was born in Warsaw , in what was then the Kingdom of Poland , part of the Russian Empire . She studied at Warsaw 's clandestine Floating University and began her practical scientific training in Warsaw . In 1891 , aged 24 , she followed her older sister Bronisława to study in Paris , where she earned her higher degrees and conducted her subsequent scientific work . She shared the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics with her husband Pierre Curie and with physicist Henri Becquerel . She won the 1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry .   Her achievements included the development of the theory of radioactivity ( a term that she coined ) , techniques for isolating radioactive isotopes , and the discovery of two elements , polonium and radium . Under her direction , the world 's first studies were conducted into the treatment of neoplasms , using radioactive isotopes . She founded the Curie Institutes in Paris and in Warsaw , which remain major centres of medical research today . During World War I , she developed mobile radiography units to provide X-ray services to field hospitals .   While a French citizen , Marie Skłodowska Curie ( she used both surnames ) never lost her sense of Polish identity . She taught her daughters the Polish language and took them on visits to Poland . She named the first chemical element that she discoveredpolonium , which she isolated in 1898after her native country .   Curie died in 1934 , aged 66 , at a sanatorium in Sancellemoz ( Haute-Savoie ) , France , due to aplastic anemia brought on by exposure to radiation while carrying test tubes of radium in her pockets during research , and in the course of her work at field hospitals during World War I.

neg: Linear particle accelerator A linear particle accelerator ( often shortened to linac ) is a type of particle accelerator that greatly increases the kinetic energy of charged subatomic particles or ions by subjecting the charged particles to a series of oscillating electric potentials along a linear beamline . The principles for such machines were proposed by Gustav Ising in 1924 , while the first machine that worked was constructed by Rolf Widerøe in 1928 at the RWTH Aachen University .  Linacs have many applications : they generate X-rays and high energy electrons for medicinal purposes in radiation therapy , serve as particle injectors for higher-energy accelerators , and are used directly to achieve the highest kinetic energy for light particles ( electrons and positrons ) for particle physics .   The design of a linac depends on the type of particle that is being accelerated : electrons , protons or ions . Linacs range in size from a cathode ray tube ( which is a type of linac ) to the 3.2 km linac at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park , California .
