OM System could finally deliver since acquiring Olympus, and 2025 is the perfect time for it.

Macys has revealed 64 stores that will be closing their doors soon in addition to two that have already shuttered. The store closures are part of what Macys calls its Bold New Chapter strategy, which is designed to return the company to profitability by closing underperforming stores and focusing its resources on more profitable locations.Fast Company previously reported that the department store chain was increasing its list of planned closures for its 2024 fiscal year.As part of the Bold New Chapter strategy, Macys has previously announced a total of 150 stores will be shuttered by the end of its fiscal 2026, which is January 31, 2027. After the closure of 150 stores, Macys says it will have 350 locations still in operation.What Macys stores are closing?The full list of all 150 locations that are closing by the end of January 2027 is unknown, but Macys has released a list of 66 of those stores that are to close, including two that already are. In this round of closures, several states are hit harder than others. California will see nine store closures during this round, Florida will see eight, New York will see nine, and Texas will see six. The full list of closing Macys locations spans 22 states.Here is the full list of all 66 store closures included in this round:ArizonaSuperstition Springs Center: 6535 E SOUTHERN AVE MESA AZCaliforniaBroadway Plaza: 750 W 7TH ST LOS ANGELES CAHillsdale FurnitureL 2838 SOUTH EL CAMINO REAL SAN MATEO CASunrise Mall: 6000 SUNRISE MALL CITRUS HEIGHTS CAWestminster Mall: 300 WESTMINSTER MALL WESTMINSTER CANewPark Mall: 200 NEWPARK MALL NEWARK CAMission Valley Home: 1555 CAMINO DE LA REINA SAN DIEGO CAOtay Ranch Town Center: 2015 BIRCH RD STE 2 CHULA VISTA CAVillage at Corte Madera: 1400 REDWOOD HWY CORTE MADERA CADowntown Plaza: 414 K ST SACRAMENTO CAColoradoNorthfield Stapleton: 8298 E NORTHFIELD BLVD DENVER COStreets at Southglenn Furniture: 6797 SOUTH VINE STREET CENTENNIAL CO (already closed)FloridaBoynton Beach Mall: 801 N CONGRESS AVE STE 100 BOYNTON BEACH FLFt Lauderdale Furniture: 4501 NORTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY FORT LAUDERDALE FLPembroke Furniture: 13640 PINES BLVD PEMBROKE PINES FLSouth Dade Furniture: 13251 SOUTH DIXIE HIGHWAY MIAMI FLWest Shore Plaza: 298 WESTSHORE PLZ TAMPA FLAltamonte Furniture: 820 W TOWN PKWY ALTAMONTE SPGS FLSouthgate: 3501 S TAMIAMI TRL STE 600 SARASOTA FLBoca Raton Furniture: 9339 GLADES ROAD BOCA RATON FL (already closed)GeorgiaGwinnett Furniture: 3360 VENTURE PARKWAY DULUTH GAGwinnett Place 2100 PLEASANT HILL RD STE 2318 DULUTH GAJohns Creek Town Center: 3630 PEACHTREE PARKWAY SUWANEE GAIdahoSilver Lake Mall: 200 W HANLEY AVE STE 200-4 COEUR D'ALENE IDIllinoisWhite Oaks Mall: 104 WHITE OAKS MALL SPRINGFIELD ILLouisianaAcadiana Mall: 5733 JOHNSTON ST STE 2098 LAFAYETTE LAMassachusetts Independence Mall: 101 KINGSTON COLLECTION WAY STE 1 KINGSTON MAMarylandSecurity Square: 6901 SECURITY BLVD STE 871 BALTIMORE MDHarford Malle: 600 BALTIMORE PIKE BEL AIR MDMichiganGrand Traverse Mall: 3400 S AIRPORT RD W TRAVERSE CITY MILakeside Mall: 14200 LAKESIDE CIR STERLING HGHTS MIOakland Mall: 500 W 14 MILE RD TROY MIGenesee Valley Center: 4600 MILLER RD FLINT MIMinnesotaMaplewood Mall 3001 WHITE BEAR AVE N STE 2035 MAPLEWOOD MNBurnsville Center 14251 BURNHAVEN DR BURNSVILLE MNMissouriMetro North Mall: 400 NW BARRY RD STE 150 KANSAS CITY MOSouth County Mall: 10 S COUNTY CENTER WAY SAINT LOUIS MONew JerseyEssex Green Shopping Center: 459 PROSPECT AVENUE WEST ORANGE NJNew YorkLake Success: 1550 UNION TURNPIKE NEW HYDE PARK NYMelville Mall: 834 WALT WHITMAN ROAD HUNTINGTON NYQueens Place: 88-01 QUEENS BLVD ELMHURST NYSheepshead Bay: 2027 EMMONS AVENUE BROOKLYN NYMall at Greece Ridge: 397 GREECE RIDGE CENTER ROCHESTER NYSunrise Mall: 400 SUNRISE MALL MASSAPEQUA NYBrooklyn: 422 FULTON ST BROOKLYN NYStaten Island Furniture: 98 RICHMOND HILL ROAD STATEN ISLAND NYFordham Place: 404 EAST FORDHAM RD BRONX NYOhioFairfield Commons 2727 FAIRFIELD COMMONS BLVD SPC 2 BEAVERCREEK OHFranklin Park 5001 MONROE ST STE D100 TOLEDO OHOregonStreets of Tanasbourne: 2055 NE ALLIE AVE HILLSBORO ORSalem Center :400 HIGH ST NE SALEM ORPennsylvaniaLogan Valley Mall: 5580 GOODS LN STE 2178 ALTOONA PAExton Square Mall: 245 EXTON SQUARE MALL EXTON PAPhiladelphia City Center: 1300 MARKET ST PHILADELPHIA PAWyoming Valley Mall: 59 WYOMING VALLEY MALL WILKES BARRE PATennesseeOak Court: 4545 POPLAR AVE MEMPHIS TNTexasAlmeda Mall: 100 ALMEDA MALL HOUSTON TXFairview: 675 STACY RD FAIRVIEW TXShops at Willow Bend: 6209 W PARK BLVD PLANO TXSouthlake Town Square: 321 STATE ST SOUTHLAKE TXWest Bend: 1751 RIVER RUN #101 FORT WORTH TXHighlands of Flower Mound: 6101 LONG PRAIRIE RD STE 500 FLOWER MOUND TXVirginiaSouthpark Mall: 170 SOUTHPARK CIR COLONIAL HGHTS VAWashingtonSouth Hill Mall: 3500 S MERIDIAN STE 985 PUYALLUP WARedmond Furniture: 15340 N.E. 24TH STREET REDMOND WAKitsap Mall: 10315 SILVERDALE WAY NW SILVERDALE WABoca Raton Furniture: 9339 GLADES ROAD BOCA RATON FLWhen do the above stores close?Two of the locations have already closed, one in Colorado and one in Florida. Macys says the other 64 locations will begin clearance sales by the end of this month. Those sales are expected to run for 8 to 12 weeks, at which point the stores will shutter for good.The timeline is a little different if the store is a Macy's Backstage or Macy's Furniture Galleries location. Those stores will begin their clearance sales in February and those will run for approximately six weeks after.Closing any store is never easy, but as part of our Bold New Chapter strategy, we are closing underproductive Macys stores to allow us to focus our resources and prioritize investments in our goforward stores, where customers are already responding positively to better product offerings and elevated service, Macys CEO Tony Spring said in a prepared statement about the closing locations.How is Macys stock price reacting?Publishing the list of closing stores seems to have done little to impact Macys stock pricemost likely because it was already known that Macys would be shuttering 150 locations over the coming years.Macys released the list yesterday, January 9, a day in which trading on the stock market was paused due to former president Jimmy Carters funeral services. In premarket trading this morning, shares of Macys (NYSE: M) are down less than half a percent to $15.96 per share.Year to date, which so far includes just five trading days, Macys stock is down 4.4%. Over the previous 12 months, Macys stock has fallen 14.82% in total.

Southern California Edison said on Thursday it had received notices from insurance companies to preserve evidence related to the Eaton Fire that is still burning in Los Angeles, but said no fire agencies have pointed to the utilitys connection to the fire.The group, a unit of U.S. utility Edison International, said its filing to regulators was triggered by online publications that seemingly suggest the groups equipment may have been associated with the fires ignition.To date, no fire agency has suggested that SCEs electric facilities were involved in the ignition or requested the removal and retention of any SCE equipment, it said.The utility added that it did not find any interruptions or anomalies in its transmission lines until more than an hour after the reported start time of the fire, citing preliminary analysis done by the group.Aside from the preservation notices suggesting SCEs potential involvement and significant media attention surrounding the fire, we do not believe this incident meets the reporting requirements, the utility added.Two massive wildfires, the Palisades Fire between Santa Monica and Malibu on the citys western flank and the Eaton Fire in the east near Pasadena, have consumed more than 34,000 acres (13,750 hectares) and have lead to 10 deaths.The fires have collectively devoured over 10,000 homes and other structures and have been ranked as the most destructive in Los Angeles history.Private forecaster AccuWeather have estimated the damage and economic loss at $135 billion to $150 billion, portending an arduous recovery and soaring homeowners insurance costs.Bipasha Dey, Reuters

DoorDash is expanding its portable benefits pilot program to certain gig workers in Georgia starting next year, the food-delivery giant tells Fast Company.Dashers (which is what DoorDash calls its gig workers) who earn at least $1,000 in the first quarter of 2025, excluding tips, will be eligible to open a portable benefits savings account in April. From January to July 2025, DoorDash will make deposits equal to 4% of their pre-tip earnings monthly. (The payments will start in April, but they will retroactively apply for the first three months of the year.) Workers can add their own funds to the account, and have the ability to access it whenever they need.Those savings can then be used for things like health, dental, and vision insurance and paid time off. DoorDash first introduced its portable benefits savings program in Pennsylvania last April.Weve long believed that people who earn with DoorDash shouldnt have to choose between the flexibility that draws them to this kind of work and having access to benefits that can support themselves and their family, DoorDash CEO Tony Xu said in a statement.Gig companies have spent large sums on lobbying certain bills, like Californias Prop. 22, that allow gig companies to keep workers labeled as independent contractors. These tech giants have been investing in benefits programs to attract workers and appease others without having to take on the expenses of making them full-time employees.This is positive news for hardworking Georgians, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said in a statement. We are excited for DoorDash, and Georgia Dashers, as this new program is rolled out and wish them success in this pursuit.

In this week's comments update, readers are discussing a cat-shaped robot that blows air to cool down hot food and drink.Aimed at people with heat-sensitive tongues, the portable device named Nkojita FuFu operates with an internal fan unit powered by a rechargeable battery and uses an algorithm to mimic human breath.Yukai Engineering unveiled a tiny cat robot that blows on hot food and drinks"A representation of everything that is wrong with design"Commenter Getbacktoworkpredicted the device to be "a secret Santa present that will be in the landfill before next Christmas"."This is a representation of everything that is wrong with design and maybe even the world as a whole," scorned Architect incognito."Should we really be wasting precious natural resources like oil (plastics) and rare earth materials (battery, processor etc) on an effin' cat-shaped fan that blows your coffee for you?" they despaired.Meanwhile, Patricia Thomas also couldn't see the relevance, calling it a "wonderful, nothing device to fix a non-existent first-world non-problem".However, Jeff K was fully in support of the idea, stating "I would absolutely buy this and use it all the time". They went on to suggest "this is far more useful than the majority of 'collectible' design created for no one ever to use".What do you make of the cat-shaped robot?

These are umbilical cord scissors: These are PEX cutters: Both are made to cut through tubing, but their forms are obviously quite different.The outer edges of the umbilical cord scissors are rounded, to prevent any accidental injuries. The tool is monomaterial (stainless steel, for ease of sterilization). The two blades slice in a bypass arrangement, for the cleanest and quickest cut. They're used by medical professionals wearing latex gloves, so there's no need to add any grip material to the handles.Note: These are branded with "Breeder's Edge" as this model is used by animal breeders. The PEX cutters are considerably more robust, as PVC is tougher to slice through than human tissue. Because plumbers may be making dozens of cuts in a single session, often a spring is added to reduce fatigue. Only a single blade is used, for the sake of economy; as the blade goes dull, it can be removed and replaced. The jaw of the tool, which features a slot to accommodate the blade, is made wide to allow the PEX to register against the tool; this ensures a perfectly plumb cut, which is important for adding watertight connections to the PEX. While both tools are form follows function, the difference in execution detailing is all to do with the specificity of the applications.
