groups who have made "significant contributions to the progress of science, the development of civilisation, and the enrichment and elevation of the human spirit." The sponsor of the Prizes is the Inamori Foundation, founded in 1984 by Kazuo Inamori, a successful businessman in ceramics and electronics. The prize is similar to the Nobel Prize, but more inclusive as it acknowledges Arts and Philosophy, as well as Advanced Technology and Basic Science. Unlike the Nobel Prize, however, it is never given to corporations. Every November, three winners of the Kyoto Prizes receive a diploma, a gold watch and 50 million yen. The prizes are given to scientists, philosophers and even filmmakers. In 2001, the Russian laureate, Zhores Ivanovich Alferov, won the Kyoto Prize for Advanced Technology for his work with semiconductor lasers at room temperature. He developed an efficient low cost technology that improves communication equipment from fibre-optic networks to personal DVD players. In 2006, the Prize for Arts and Philosophy went to the fashion designer, Issey Miyake, for "creating clothing that can become a part of peoples lives, cutting across time, national borders, and classes." Inamori has criticised modern culture for ignoring our emotional and spiritual development and feels that more recognition should be given to those who work for the common good. "Today we are rushing ahead with incredible scientific and technological achievements, while understanding of our emotional and psychological development lags behind badly," he says. "It is my hope that the Kyoto Prizes will encourage balanced development of both our scientific and our spiritual sides." Inamori worries that people are losing their old models of morality and ethics based on religion. But he believes that if we use our intelligence properly, we can create a* new way of thinking, one that does not add to human suffering. He has now given the Inamori Foundation 70 billion Yen, which he hopes will help to recognise people who contribute to this process.помогите ответить на вопросы What is the founder of the prize?

means that we recognize the Queen or King as the Head of State, while the Prime Minister is the Head of Government.
Canada's Parliament is composed of the Queen of Canada (who is officially represented by the Governor General), the Senate and the House of Commons. There are 105 seats in the Senate, whose members are appointed by the Governor General on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The House of Commons has 308 seats, whose members are elected by Canadian citizens who vote in general elections or by-elections.
ccording to Canada's Constitution, elections are held at least once every five years. However, an election may be called earlier if the Governor General accepts the Prime Minister's advice to dissolve Parliament.
Representation in the House of Commons is based on geographical divisions known as "electoral districts," commonly referred to as "ridings". The number of electoral districts is established by a formula set out in the Constitution Act, 1867, and one member of Parliament (MP) is elected in each electoral district. Canada currently has 308 ridings.
Canada's electoral system is referred to as a "single-member plurality" or "first-past-the-post" system. In every electoral district, the candidate with the highest number of votes wins a seat in the House of Commons and represents that electoral district as its MP. An absolute majority (more than 50 percent of the votes in the electoral district) is not required for a candidate to be elected.
voting in canada is by secret ballot. the security of the ballot is paramount, and the system makes it impossible to discover who any voter has voted for.

arteries to all the parts of the body Scientists have determined that the total weight of the blood pumped by the hemi daily is about 10 tons. Physiologists have established that in the adult the heart makes from 60 to 7,' beats per minute.4n children the rate of heartbeat is much higher. Research work of many scientists has helped to determine that the rate of heartbeat increase depending on different emotions. Each beat of the heart is followed by a period of rest for the cardiac muscle Each wave of contraction and a period of rest following it compose a cardiac cycle The period of rest is shorter during greater physical exertion and longer when the body is at rest. The physiologists called the first phase of short contraction of both atria - the atrial systole, the second phase of more prolonged contraction of both ventricles- the ventricular systole. The period of rest of the cardiac muscle is called the diastole The blood received by the left atrium from the pulmonary circulation is discharged out by the left ventricle to the systemic circulation through the aorta. The atria act as receiving chambers.
