JCPenney store closures: 7 locations shuttering May 25. Here's where
Seven JCPenney stores spread across the country will close their doors for good this weekend. The latest JCPenney closures, which were first announced in February, come after more than 200 U.S. locations shuttered when the retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2020. The chain was later acquired by Simon Property Group and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. in December 2020. In January, JCPenney announced it had partnered with Forever 21 to create a new company called Catalyst Brands. The merger also includes Brooks Brothers, Aéropostale, Lucky Brand, Nautica and Eddie Bauer. Catalyst Brands was expected to open 1,800 store locations and hire 60,000 employees. A JCPenney spokesperson previously told USA TODAY that the store closures are not related to the Catalyst Brand merger. A Catalyst Brands spokesperson previously told USA TODAY that the umbrella company is "optimizing" its structure, resulting in the cut of about 9% of its corporate roles. Here's which JCPenney stores are closing this year. Each of the following stores are set to close on May 25, a JCPenney spokesperson told USA TODAY on Monday, May 19: The Shops at Tanforan in San Bruno, California The Shops At Northfield in Denver, Colorado Pine Ridge Mall in Pocatello, Idaho West Ridge Mall in Topeka, Kansas Fox Run Mall in Newington, New Hampshire Asheville Mall in Asheville, North Carolina Charleston Town Center in Charleston, West Virginia Earlier this year, JCPenney had announced it would be closing its location in the Westfield Annapolis Mall in Annapolis, Maryland. But on May 19, a JCPenney spokesperson confirmed that through an extended lease agreement, the location will remain open through Aug. 31. While specifics were not provided, a JCPenney spokesperson previously told USA TODAY that individual store closures may occur due to "expiring lease agreements, market changes or other factors."

New Zealand rejected these 40 baby names in 2024: See the list
Names with ties to marijuana were also requested and rejected - Sativa and Indica, which are two popular marijuana strains. Both were only requested and rejected once. "We continue to urge parents to think carefully about names. Names are a gift. Generally, the name registered will be with the individual for the rest of their lives," a document published by New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs states. Here's a look at the full list of names that were declined last year and the reasoning behind why. What names were declined? Can't see the chart above? Visit Why were these names declined? According to New Zealand's 2021 Births, Deaths, Marriages and Relationships Registration Act, names cannot: Be offensive Resemble a title or rank without adequate justification Be unreasonably long Include numbers or symbols Names that may fall into one of the above categories is reviewed to determine how it make be perceived in the community, how it is spelt and sound when spoken, how the name could impact others, and when appropriate, why the parents wish to register the name, according to a documents published by New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs. If a name is declined, the parents of the child are contacted and are able to provide further justification for the name they requested. Often though, a new name is chosen, federal documents state. What other countries have strict baby naming laws? Aside from New Zealand, some other countries with strict baby naming laws include Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Iceland, according to legal advisor Angie Newnham. The U.S., on the other hand, has very few restrictions on baby names, with each state having its own set of rules. Generally, names are allowed if they are not obscene or derogatory, and some states have limitations on symbols and special characters being added. For example, in Texas, a baby's first, middle, and last names are restricted to a maximum of 100 letters total, with special characters, numbers and diacritical marks being prohibited.
