Ride with Santa on the TRE Train to the Dallas Holiday Parade

The Trinity Railway Express (TRE) is delighted to invite all of our North Texas residents to join us on Saturday, December 3, for a train ride with Santa and Mrs. Claus to the 2022 Toyota Dallas Holiday Parade.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will join TRE riders for the special holiday ride to this year’s festivities. Each train ride will end at EBJ Union Station with live musical performances and promotional giveaways, as well as photo opportunities with the Claus Family.

The TRE will offer three opportunities to ride to the parade this year. With stops at each of the 10 stations between Fort Worth and Dallas, we invite everyone to join us for a fun and festive ride with plenty of time to spare to enjoy the parade.

DART Returns Nine Major Bus Routes to Regular Frequency

On Monday, December 12, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) will return nine major bus routes to regular operating service frequency.

In June, to provide service dependability for riders, DART implemented a five-minute service frequency reduction on 31 bus routes due to the nationwide shortage of bus operators. Thanks to an aggressive hiring initiative by the agency, DART is returning nine bus routes to regular service ahead of schedule.

Bus Route Frequency Adjustments
15-minute peak and 20-minute midday service will resume on the following routes:

DART Bus Route 13 Ervay
DART Bus Route 15 Buckner
DART Bus Route 16 Ferguson
DART Bus Route 17 Skillman
DART Bus Route 18 Samuell
DART Bus Route 20 Northwest Highway
DART Bus Route 22 Forest Lane
DART Bus Route 38 Ledbetter
DART Bus Route 57 Westmoreland

DART plans to return the remaining 22 bus routes to regular service frequency on January 23, 2023.

Bus Bay Changes
To improve schedule efficiency and provide more direct service, DART Bus Route 13 will serve Hatcher Station in both directions from stops on Elsie Faye Heggins Street. Route 13 will no longer use the triangular routing over Lagow and Robert L. Parish streets to enter the station on Scyene Road.

Shell to acquire renewable natural gas producer Nature Energy

Shell to acquire renewable natural gas producer Nature Energy

Shell Petroleum NV, a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell plc (Shell), has reached an agreement with Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, Pioneer Point Partners, and Sampension to acquire 100% shareholding of Nature Energy Biogas A/S (Nature Energy) for nearly USD $2 billion (€ 1.9 billion). The acquisition will be absorbed within Shell’s current capital range, which remains unchanged.

Based in Denmark, Nature Energy is a producer of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from agricultural, industrial, and household wastes.

By purchasing the shares in Nature Energy, Shell will acquire the largest RNG producer in Europe, its portfolio of cash-generative operating plants, associated feedstock supply and infrastructure, its pipeline of growth projects, and its in-house expertise in the design, construction, and operation of innovative and differentiated RNG plant technology.

This acquisition will further increase Shell’s ability to work with its established customer base across multiple sectors to accelerate its transition to net-zero emissions. It will also support Shell’s ambition to profitably grow its low-carbon fuel production and customer offering in our world-leading customer-facing Marketing business.

“Shell’s competitiveness in low carbon fuels derives from capabilities across the value chain, combining a world-class Trading and Supply organization with access to differentiated technology and production assets,” said Huibert Vigevano, Shell’s Downstream Director. “Acquiring Nature Energy will add a European production platform and growth pipeline to Shell’s existing RNG projects in the United States. We will use this acquisition to build an integrated RNG value chain at a global scale, at a time when energy transition policies and customer preferences are signaling strong growth in demand in the years ahead.”

The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in Q1 2023. Nature Energy is cash generative, and the acquisition is expected to be both accretive to Shell’s earnings from completion and deliver double-digit returns.

Mundial de Qatar 2022: Arabia Saudí – México

México ha ganado a Arabia Saudí en el tercer partido de la fase de grupos del Mundial de Qatar(1-2).

A pesar de la victoria, México no consigue clasificarse para octavos de final, aunque Argentina también haya ganado a Polonia (0-2).

Un gol de Aldawsari para Arabia Saudí en los últimos minutos del tiempo añadido rompieron el sueño de la selección mexicana, que fue muy superior durante todo el partido. En el inicio de la segunda parte Henry Martin marcó el primero y solo unos segundos después Luis Chávez hizo el segundo.

Con ese resultado, México seguía fuera del Mundial por la diferencia de tarjetas amarillas, a pesar de estar empatado a puntos y a goles con Polonia.

La selección norteamericana buscó el tercer gol durante toda la segunda parte y tuvo varias ocasiones para conseguirlo. Finalmente Argentina y Polonia son las clasificadas del grupo C para octavos de final.

Harris County Spared as 2022 Hurricane Season Ends

Image did not load.

Harris County officials are marking the end of the 2022 Hurricane Season on November 30. There were no tropical weather impacts on the county or the Texas Gulf Coast.

“While we are grateful to have been spared tropical weather this year, Harris County residents should remember that being prepared is a year-round responsibility,” said Mark Sloan, Harris County’s Coordinator for Homeland Security & Emergency Management. “We are moving into colder weather, and there are always events we cannot predict. Do not let your guard down now.”

For the season, which began June 1, there were fourteen named storms with only Tropical Storms Alex and Colin and Hurricanes Ian and Nicole making landfall in the United States. Hurricanes Fiona and Ian were the only major hurricanes, with winds in excess of 111 mph. Ian, a Category 4 hurricane, devastated southwest Florida after making landfall near Ft Myers in late September. Ian moved across the state and back into the Atlantic Ocean, where it made a second landfall in South Carolina. Fiona made landfall in Puerto Rico as a Category 1 hurricane, eventually moving up the Atlantic into Canada.

According to the National Hurricane Center, this year’s activity was in line with seasonal guidance issued by the agency.

Disaster preparedness tools, including preparedness checklists, hurricane brochures, and resources for kids, are available at www.readyharris.org.

Así le hemos contado el México – Polonia: la selección mexicana empata sin goles contra Polonia con Ochoa como héroe

Es tiempo de Mundial. México se estrenó con un empate frente a una dura Polonia (0-0), guiada por Robert Lewandowski. El delantero del Barcelona falló un penalti que pudo cambiar el desenlace del partido. Guillermo Ochoa, guardameta mexicano de 37 años, atajó al costado izquierdo. Se trataba de un duelo clave para el grupo C después de la derrota de Argentina (1-2) frente a Arabia Saudí, ya que la albiceleste era la máxima favorita para pasar como primera de grupo. Ahora, México se medirá el sábado contra una Argentina que aspira a renacer, mientras que Arabia Saudí quiere seguir como sorpresa frente a los polacos.

Primer mexicano en atajar un penalti desde 1930

​​​​​​​Los mexicanos no habían tenido suerte en cuanto a los penaltis. La última vez que un portero atajó fue en el primer Mundial en un encuentro contra Argentina. El encargado fue Oscar Bonfiglio. Ochoa juega su tercer Mundial y puede decir que le frustró todo a Lewandowski.

La imagen de la deportividad

Lewandowski no pudo ante los guantes de Ochoa. El meta mexicano ve en el penalti atajado una forma de redención ante estos cuatro años en los que no ha brillado en el fútbol mexicano con el América.
