...blades of grass and extends them toward a flock of geese. "Hello, my darlings," he coos. "Hello, hello, hello."

...powered vehicles, which start at $250 for adults, the Pon-e is very pricey at $1,700. While some previous Trikke models had short-lived lead-acid batteries, this is the first with a lithium-ion battery that can power the Pon-e for up to 20 miles (32 km).

The Leaf's maximum speed is more than 90 m.p.h. (145 km/h) and its range is 100 miles (160 km) on a full charge. A 30-minute quick charge reaches 80% capacity. And with its lithium-ion battery placed under the vehicle floor, the Leaf has room for five people. While the Leaf will be built first at Nissan's Oppama plant in Kanazawa prefecture, production is also planned...
...speed-train lines that, in theory, should stimulate economic activity and enhance productivity for years to come. But some high-profile works such as the $10.7 billion Hong Kong-Macau-Zhuhai Bridge have been criticized as unnecessary vanity projects, while others are said to be wastefully duplicative - some 300 km of the Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity Railway and the Shanghai-Beijing Express Railway, for example, are overlapping routes. Some local governments have also been discovered to be faking documentation and even entire projects. (See pictures of Beijing...
