LEMON the lucky DUCK

She looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, but doesn't really walk like a duck.
She was hatched two years ago in Laura Backman's kindergarten class at Melville Elementary in Portsmouth, Rhode Island but a neurological disorder prevents the duck from walking.

Backman's kindergarten and the students brainstormed and came up with the idea for a little duck scooter.......................

Illegal Rail Trolleys move Manila's poor

.

MANILA - the Philippines

District of Pandacan

.

Ride along Manila's poor is dangerous

BUT

it is an irresistible draw - cheap and doesn't use oil.

The 3-kilometre stretch of rail that cuts through the congested community to ply their dangerous trade. The train comes every 4 hours, but if one appears off-schedule, panic ensues. When no chugging trains are in sight, they sneak their eight-seat trolleys - small, metal-wheeled carts with benches fashioned from scrap wood - on the railway to ferry students, office workers and even policemen on short trips. A ride costs 5-pesos ( 37sen )
.

''I use my feet, my gasoline is my sweat! '' said the trolley operator

The amount of foot power it's already harvested is displayed on an LED wall.
