Answer: FERRIS WHEEL

Explanation:

HISTORY: Before the word 'ferris wheel' came into existence, there has been several inventions similar to it for example, the 'pleasure wheel''.

Originally, Ferris wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. in 1893 with a height of 264ft  and it was intended to STAND THE 1,063FT EIFFEL TOWER. Eiffel tower was the centerpiece of the 1889 Paris Exposition.

Gale Ferris was a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic institute and a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

 He began his career in the railroad industry and then pursued an interest in bridge building. Ferris understood the growing need for structural steel and founded G.W.G. Ferris & Co. in Pittsburgh, a firm that tested and inspected metals for railroads and bridge builders.

•What are some of the positive changes in South Africa since the end of apartheid? What are some of the continuing challenges in
8090 [49]
To answer your first question, there are a lot of positive things about South Africa since the end of Apartheid. The most obvious being that races from all colors have access to better education and have an equal chance at getting work. There has been massive spending on infrastructure, making South Africa the most developed country on the African continent, including the building of speed trains, upgrading of airports, freeways, and hundreds of thousands of new homes for previously disadvantaged communities. The country went through an economic boom period since 2000, and because of good economic policies that govern our banks, South Africa did not suffer as badly as Europe or the US during the recession of 2008-2009, although there were also a lot of jobs lost. 

<span>For the second question.</span>
<span>There are many, reasons why there are still problems 15 years after Apartheid. You have to keep in mind that there was a lot of damage done during the 40 years of apartheid, because of the separate development of black communities and white communities. But the country shows signs of improvement. Crime is one of our main concerns and especially aggravated crime. Although it does not affect tourists as much. The biggest reasons that there are still problems, is problems that are true for all African countries, and that is corrupt leaders that can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar (meaning that they only making themselves rich from taxpayers money, instead of delivering services). The other reason is the communist mentality of a lot of leaders. There are not enough taxpayers to cater for all the unemployed people. But like I said, there are many, many reasons</span>

<span>For the third ones.</span>

<span>I think the US should pay attention to what happens in South Africa, to pressure South African leaders not to follow corrupt policies. </span>

For the last one.

<span>The legacy of racism in the US has a lot of similarities, but also a lot of differences. Remember that in South Africa, it was a minority government that used violence, intimidation to suppress a majority. It was also during the Cold War, and the South African government was against the communist policies of the black politicians. </span>
<span>In the US, it was a white majority government that used to suppress a minority, but usually through exclusion and discrimination. Unfortunately, racism is prevalent all over the world, especially in Australia, Germany, and Britain. 
</span>That's the end of my  very long answer.

qwelly [4]

<u>Answer</u>:

Cell phones contain rechargeable batteries that transform chemical energy into electrical energy. When using your cell phone, electrical energy is first transformed into <u>Electromagnetic waves </u>that are transmitted through the air.

<u>Explanation</u>:

When chemical energy is converted into electrical energy in cell phones, then this electrical energy firstly transformed or converted into electromagnetic waves which travels through air. Then this electromagnetic wave is converted into sound energy due to which users are able to listen audio, music, movies etc on their mobile phones.

The electrochemical energy that stored in a cell is removed as electrical energy in the process of discharging. There are so many other thermal and electrochemical processes taking place at the same time.

A psychologist develops a new treatment for depression in the united states that involves teaching people techniques to increase
yarga [219]

I believe the answer is: No, depressed people in Eastern cultures do not devalue themselves like depressed people in Western cultures.

Eastern culture place a really high value on hardwork more than the western culture. So, people in eastern culture tend to see the act of succumbing to depression as being weak, which make them tend to deal it by working even harder to accomplish positive in life.
