Which were the positive aspects of the railroad expansion?
The major positive aspect of railroad expansion was a quicker, more efficient means of transportation of people and goods. The railroads could run almost anywhere, were faster than other means of transportation, and could run at anytime of the year. The first railroads connected eastern communities with major trading centers. The transcontinental railroads connected the nation from coast to coast. The railroad marked the end of the isolation of the West. The trains not only provided transportation to the settlements, but made the rancher and farmer more accessible to the eastern markets. The railroads provided the boost necessary for the expansion of the cattle kingdom.

Does smooth away hair removal work?
Well, I have personally used other hair removal products, and most of those work alright. I used razor, which is fast and leaves skin pretty smooth, but the hair grows faster and thicker, and sometimes irritates my skin. Depilatory creams are also great, but the smell is nasty and if your skin does not feel like being "treated" then it will cause irritation, and will even "eat up" your skin!. Wax...well too painful, and if you do not know how to appropriately apply it, then you won't get very good results, not even the pain is worth it!. So when I heard about the "SmoothAway" I actually did not believe on the add (because most of those are scams!), but I was curious to try it. So one day I went to Target, and when I was about to pay at the cashier, I saw the product, so I did not hesitate and bought along with my other supplies. I was EAGER to try it, and see if it really worked, and unbelievably...it did!. I have heard some people say that does not work with them, it irritates their skin and doesn't remove hairs very well. I personally think that it is a good product, not a perfectly fine product, but works pretty well. It does take quite a while to remove all hairs, and leaves a white dust on your skin (supposedly dead skin cells), but I have not had any irritation at all, and the hairs seem to be thinner, grow slower, Aand my skin is so soft afterward!.Plus, there is no need to be in the shower, or bathroom to remove your hairs!. I think this product is worth trying, and maybe you, as well as me, will be happy with the results.:)
What are the positive aspects of a brain surgeon?
It is one of the highest paying jobs. Experienced neurosurgeons make between $300,000 and $750,000 each year. The prestige is enormous, as are the satisfactions when all goes well. Downside: The disappointments are more frequent and more devastating than a field like general surgery. Successes in general surgery are routine. Not so in neurosurgery. The "bad outcomes" are much higher, despite the neurosurgeon's best efforts. It is a psychologically demanding profession.
How many gyroscopic sensers does the segway have?
The Segway PT has five gyroscopic sensors, though it only needs three to detect leaning forward or backward (termed "pitch"), leaning to the left or right (termed "roll") and steering to the left or right (termed "yaw"). The extra sensors add redundancy, to make the Segway more reliable.

Are there positive aspects of corporations?
- I am not sure exactly what you intended to ask. There are many positive aspects of corporations, but it also depends on your perspective. Small business owners will form a corporate for personal asset protection and tax benefits. Corporations provide jobs and vehicles of investment.
- Other positive aspects of corporations include a professional image (as compared to a sole proprietorships) and access to capital.
But "corporation" is a specific legal concept. It has to do with the way a company is owned and financed, what kind of taxation that it is subject to, and the laws of the state of incorporation. There are one-person corporations, and there are large businesses that are NOT technically corporations (for example, large partnerships).
Do you mean private-sector businesses?
If that is what you really mean, they benefit "the economy" (which is really consumers, the firms themselves, and the government) by providing jobs, and by providing products and services that would be either unduly expensive, unduly burdensome, or impossible (i.e., inefficient) for consumers to provide for themselves (e.g., medications, electronics, psychotherapy). Businesses keep people off the unemployment rolls, reducing the cost to taxpayers of providing benefits to the poor and unemployed. And if they are legally corporations, they pay corporate income taxes on the profits that they earn.
A firm has no obligation to benefit "the economy" (actually, it is part of the economy, not a separate entity) or the government (the government is supposed to work for US, not the other way around). But realistically speaking, if a firm is not providing a product or service that people want at a price they are willing to pay, it will not be in business for very long.
Firms also can and do invest in projects that benefit society - projects that would be too expensive or impossible for individuals to finance. Visit any major company's website and you'll see what that company is doing to improve local community facilities, ameliorate environmental risks, and so on.
Where was the Segway developed?
The original prototypes were developed at Deka Research and Development in Manchester, NH. The company now does its product development in Bedford, New Hampshire at their corporate headquarters.
A magnetic key is supplied which you hold up to the sensor on the handle bar to turn the machine on. To cause the machine to turn when you are driving it, the first generation Segways have a twist lever on the left handle bar to turn left and right. The second generation Segways turn by leaning the control stick to the left or right.
