However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as 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. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first award ceremony.Nobels original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobels death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges decisions.

During the American War of Independence，women were involved in the active fighting in three ways. First，as members of a distinct branch of the Continental Army referred to as “Women of the Army,” women staffed field hospitals and acted as military support in such roles as water carriers. In an emergency，women water carriers，who had plenty of opportunity to observe the firing of cannons，could replace a wounded comrade.
