Example: invented \uf0e0 inventing<\/p>
After invented dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered like the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Origin there were five awards literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel\u2019s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards whom vary from $30,000 to $125,000. Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel\u2019s death, the awards are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics make an important role in the judges\u2019 decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively little literature prizes. No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.<\/p>
