I picked up a green cardholder containing some credit cards and your ID along The Mall, London, near Buckingham Palace / Piccadilly Circus on the afternoon of Monday 13th May. There was no cash in the cardholder. "I tried to look up for your details and to contact a next of kin, but couldn't get through to a number at the address on the ID. I then rang American Express in the U.S. to advise that you have lost your cards, which were then blocked." The person who had found the cardholder added that they had asked American Express to notify the vacationer of their update. They had also told the bank they would be sending the items to the vacationer's Illinois address. The letter that the vacationer from Illinois received in the mail is seen.

"Was visiting London, England, from the U.S. last month and lost my wallet somewhere; I blame it on the small pockets in my shorts," the vacationer had said. "Thankfully, this wasn't too much of a hassle during vacation with Apple wallet nowadays, but it was still unfortunate. "Lo and behold I see a package in my apartment's package room, someone found my wallet [and] shipped it back … It's been quite a year so this was really such a thoughtful gesture and seriously made my month."

Chevron Cuts Almost 800 from Workforce in Permian
Chevron is laying off some 800 employees at three Midland, Texas, facilities in the Permian Basin, effective July 15, according to documents filed with the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). Reuters reported in February that the supermajor would reduce its global workforce by up to 20%—about 8,000 people—as part of an effort to cut costs, simplify its business and complete a major acquisition. Houston-based Chevron has faced production challenges including cost overruns and delays in a large Kazakhstan oilfield project. Its $53-billion deal to acquire oil producer Hess and gain a foothold in Guyana's lucrative oilfield is in limbo while a protracted court battle with rival Exxon Mobil plays out. A consolidation trend that swept the upstream space through the end of 2024 has resulted in several large layoff announcements in Texas. In October, Marathon Oil advised the TWC of its plan to cut more than 500 jobs once its merger with ConocoPhillips closes.

PBTISD opens Discovery School & Pre-K 3 program for the community
PECOS, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – Pecos-Barstow-Toyah ISD (PBTISD) is excited to announce that beginning in July 2025, the Discovery School will officially open its doors to the broader Pecos community. In addition, the district will launch a Pre-K 3 program for eligible students, marking a new chapter in PBTISD's cradle-to-career commitment. The Discovery School, a state-of-the-art early childhood center developed to serve PBTISD employees with young children, will now also be available to community members. By expanding access, PBTISD continues its mission to be a 'good neighbor,' strengthen community ties, and address the need for affordable, high-quality childcare in the region. 'This is an exciting step for our district and our community,' said Superintendent Brent Jaco. 'Opening Discovery School to our neighbors and launching a Pre-K 3 program reflects our dedication to supporting families, investing in early childhood education, and fostering a lifelong love of learning. This is more than access—this is opportunity.' With its welcoming, developmentally appropriate environment, the school is designed to meet the highest standards of early childhood care and education. In July 2024, the Discovery School opened its doors to employees of local taxing entities, like the Town of Pecos City, Reeves County, Reeves County Emergency Services District, and Reeves Regional Health Hospital employees. Thus, to ensure equitable access and support for staff, the district will set a portion of spots for PBTISD Employees and local entity employees. Once places have been identified, a waiting list and a first-come, first-served system will be used to place community children once availability is determined. Monthly tuition for community families will be:● $950 per month for children ages 6 weeks to 17 months● $700 per month for children ages 18 months to 3 years In tandem with the expanded childcare access, PBTISD will also officially launch its Pre-K 3 program this fall through a formal partnership with the Discovery School. The program, established in accordance with Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) guidelines and Texas Education Agency (TEA) expectations, allows the district to offer high-quality, certified early learning to eligible 3-year-olds. This effort aligns with a statewide initiative launched in November 2021, when TWC committed $26 million to expand Pre-K partnerships. These partnerships enable school districts to collaborate with high-quality childcare providers to increase access and improve early learning outcomes for young children. As a Texas Rising Star facility, the Discovery School is on track to receive the prestigious 4-star rating—the highest available—by December 2025. This distinction demonstrates PBTISD's commitment to excellence and ensures that students receive top-tier care and instruction from the very beginning. Under the agreement, the Pre-K 3 program will include at least two classrooms at Discovery School, with each classroom led by a Certified Early Education Teacher. The program expands PBTISD's current open-enrollment PreK to include both eligible and non-eligible students. For more information about Discovery School, visit Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Texas Employment Numbers Hit Record High in April for 5th Consecutive Month
Texas's total nonfarm employment hit a record high last month following thousands of new job additions, the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) said in a May 16 The state added 37,700 new positions in April, which took the total number of nonfarm jobs in Texas to 14.32 million. This was the fifth consecutive month of record-high jobs. Over the past year, 215.500 jobs have been added, with the state's annual nonfarm job growth rate exceeding the national rate. Total civilian labor force— 'The positive trends in the Texas labor market show the Lone Star State's efforts to invest in the success of the Texas economy,' said TWC Chairman Bryan Daniel. TWC's commissioner representing labor, Alberto Trevino III, attributed the growing demand for skilled workers across various industries to the state's 'strong focus on innovation and economic growth.' Related Stories 5/15/2025 5/14/2025 The services sector saw the largest number of employment additions, with 27,400 new jobs added in April from the previous month. This was followed by the professional and business services sector with 10,900 new jobs and the goods-producing industry with 10,300 jobs added. The unemployment rate in the state was 4.1 percent, the TWC statement said. In a May 16 'Businesses invest with confidence in Texas thanks to the Best Business Climate in America and our highly skilled and growing workforce. That is why Texas employers have added more than 2.5 million jobs since I became governor and why more Texans are working than ever before,' he said. 'But we will not be complacent. We will continue to advance pro-growth economic policies, invest in career training for high-demand occupations, and partner with Texas businesses and innovators to remain the Best State for Business and the best state for good-paying jobs over the next decade and beyond.' Delaware Exodus Texas's stellar job numbers come as the state stands to benefit from any potential The issue was highlighted by Simon Property Group, a Delaware corporation, in a March 21 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Businesses incorporated in Delaware are facing an 'increasingly litigious environment,' which imposes significant financial and human resource costs on companies, it said. Delaware's corporate laws had come under intense criticism from industrialist Elon Musk last year after a court in the state blocked a $56 billion pay package from Tesla to him as CEO, despite approval by the board of directors. The court issued the decision based on a case filed by an individual who owned just nine shares in the company. Musk later shifted the incorporation of Tesla and SpaceX from Delaware to Texas. Last week, Abbot signed into law Senate Bill 29, a 'pro-growth' business legislation, his office Senate Bill 29 tackles the situation of courts overriding corporate decisions. The bill ensures that 'business decisions are made by Texas corporations, through their shareholders and elected boards, and not third-party activists,' the office of Texas state Sen. Bryan Hughes, who filed the bill, said in a Feb. 27 Abbott said the bill provides companies 'the certainty that sound business judgments made in the best interest of shareholders will not be second-guessed by courts.'
