  • Press Release: the End of An
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 26, 2021 Media Contact: [email protected] The End of an Era: Abilene Zoo Mourns Loss of Male Lion Abilene, Tx - The Abilene Zoo is saddened to share news of the passing of its male lion, Botswana, on March 25th. The senior lion was humanely euthanized after a severe loss of mobility due to a suspected stroke in the overnight or early morning hours of the 25th. Botswana would have celebrated his 19th birthday June 23rd. "Losing an animal is never easy," said Zoo Veterinarian Dr. Stephanie Carle, "Knowing our staff did all that was possible to help Botswana live a long life and pass with dignity brings us peace." Zoo staff had been closely watching and managing Botswana’s health as he aged. A physical exam conducted last week revealed the senior lion’s kidney disease and dental concerns had progressed significantly. Botswana was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease approximately 3 years ago, and had developed high blood pressure and other conditions associated with it. Chronic kidney disease is one of the most common aging abnormalities of both exotic and domestic cats. "Animal care staff pour their hearts into caring for all of the animals daily, and it is like losing a family member when it is time to say goodbye. Our team has prepared for this day because we knew that Botswana was reaching the end of his life due to his advanced age," said General Curator and Animal Care Manager Denise Ibarra. "We truly mourn the loss of the animals we come to love, and Botswana will forever be a part of the Abilene Zoo." Botswana was born June 23, 2002, and outlived the average 16-year life expectancy of lions in Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) accredited zoos by nearly 3 years.

  • 16 Million People Travel Between Houston and North
    MARKETING CONTENT TRANSFORMING TRAVEL IN TEXAS Assessing passenger demand for high-speed train service between North Texas, the Brazos Valley and Greater Houston 1 MARKETING CONTENT ABOUT THE PROJECT The design, construction, finance and operation of a new high-speed passenger train line connecting Hous- ton and North Texas has been under development for five years. The project expects to begin construction in 2018, and will enable passengers to travel between Houston and North Texas in 90 minutes, including a stop in the Brazos Valley. This transformational project will provide a safe, productive, fast and reliable choice for travelers between Texas’ two largest economic hubs, using proven, world-class technology. The increased mobility between two of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the US made possible by the Texas Bullet Train will deliver substantial and long-lasting benefits to both the state and local economies. Texans will have a safe, productive and reliable choice for travel between Houston, the Brazos Valley and North Texas. ABOUT THE STUDY In January 2016, Texas Central appointed L.E.K.

L.E.K. has developed a commercially-driven, technology-enabled forecast for passenger demand including: • Estimating the market size and growth rate for travel between the two metropolitan areas; • Undertaking primary market research with input from more than 2,000 Texans to understand local travel habits and determine the Texas Bullet Train’s potential share of the travel market; and • Building a robust and highly granular forecasting model to predict future passenger demand under a range of assumptions and different scenarios.
