Toshiba America Business Solutions Launches Real-Time Translation Innovation
Lake Forest-headquartered Toshiba America Business Solutions aims to simplify multilingual communication with instant translations through the release of its new Elevate Sky Translate. This technology leverages AI to translate documents quickly and accurately into more than 190 languages when utilizing Toshiba e-BRIDGE multifunction printers (MFPs).
On-demand translations present an ideal and, in many instances, necessary solution for school districts, healthcare, government and retail organizations. Toshiba's innovative new software allows these organizations and others to print, email or save a translated document directly from a Toshiba MFP to better communicate with their diverse audiences.
Elevate Sky Translate works by auto-detecting the original language of a scanned document while translating it into the desired output language directly at the MFP. Instantaneously, the newly translated documents are then available to print, email or save to a USB device.
Beyond traditional word-for-word translations, this AI-powered engine brings contextual understanding to the document to create more accurate results for greater communication success.
Elevate Sky Translate helps inform, engage and alert parents and students from diverse backgrounds by translating enrollment forms, notices and reports into their home language. Doing so further enables school districts to be compliant in this area.
The new tech can also enhance healthcare communications by translating medical forms, prescription labels and discharge instructions into a language patients best understand. This is immensely important for increasing understanding while improving inpatient and outpatient care.
For retailers, the solution can create a more inclusive shopping experience while fostering deeper consumer loyalty by translating promotions, receipts and product descriptions into a shopper's desired language on the spot.
Elevate Sky Translate also improves public service through community engagement and outreach by translating forms, communications and resources to constituents in real time, ensuring everyone has equal access to essential information and services.
'Elevate Sky Translate provides a simple yet powerful solution to the challenge of communicating with a diverse audience,' said Toshiba America Business Solutions vice president of marketing and strategic business development Bill Melo. 'A single scan translates and prints documents in multiple languages, retaining the original formatting and truly helping schools and other public institutions communicate to their constituents in the language that they can best understand.'

Success Of Ryan Poles, Ben Johnson Is Tied To Caleb Williams
Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles, right, speaks as head coach Ben Johnson, left, listens ... More before introducing new players Drew Dalman and Dayo Odeyingbo at Halas Hall on March 13, 2025, in Lake Forest, Illinois. (Chris Sweda/Chicago Tribune/Tribune News Service via Getty Images) Patience has indeed proven to be a virtue with Ryan Poles, the Chicago Bears' fourth-year general manager. He was hired for a four-year term in 2022 and is being rewarded with a contract extension that runs through 2029. This gives Poles an eight-year commitment from Bears ownership and president Kevin Warren despite his having produced a 15-36 record in his first two seasons. His predecessor, Ryan Pace, had a 48-65 record over seven seasons, including a 22-27 mark in his final three. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Friday Poles is receiving an extension that gives him the same timing on his deal as head coach Ben Johnson, who Poles hired in January after making Matt Eberflus the Bears' first-ever coach fired in midseason. Poles had hired Eberflus on his third day on the job after inheriting a coaching search that had been run at the same time Chairman George McCaskey was searching for a new GM to replace Pace. It was a dubious process that did little other than to allow the Bears to assemble talent through the draft in the Eberflus years, biding their time in hope of becoming relevant again. That time arrives in 2025, with the Bears hoping for at least a winning season in the deep NFC North. The success of quarterback Caleb Williams, who was taken with the first overall pick in the '24 draft, is critical for both Poles and Johnson, who chose to sign with Chicago after earning respect while building an explosive offense behind Jared Goff in Detroit. Poles has proven to be a skilled negotiator in seemingly upgrading the roster. He rebuilt the offensive line after Williams was sacked 68 times in his rookie season, adding Chiefs All-Pro guard Joe Thuney at the cost of only a fourth-round pick while also signing free agent center Drew Dalman and trading for guard Jonah Jackson. His signature move was the trading of the first overall pick to Carolina in '23, which at the time committed a third season to struggling quarterback Justin Fields, whom Poles had inherited from Pace. Rather than draft Bryce Young or C.J. Stroud, he took wide receiver D.J. Moore and a package of draft pick to allow the Panthers to move from ninth to first overall. Poles turned those picks into Williams, tackle Darnell Wright, cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, punter Tory Taylor and wide receiver Luther Burden III. "Yeah, I feel pretty good," Poles said after selecting Burden in the second round last April. 'I think it's worked out for us.' The moves have certainly worked well for Poles, who had worked in the Chiefs' front office before being hired by McCaskey. The hope is they also work out for the franchise and its fans. Leila Rahimi, the insightful talk show host for WSCR, summed up the feeling in Chicago nicely. 'You just got paid for winning an offseason, not a season,' Rahimi said. 'I want to see a season.'

Plug Power Just Scored a Supply Agreement Win. How Should You Play PLUG Stock Here?
Plug Power (PLUG) says it has signed a multi-year supply agreement with a renowned industrial gas company. The clean energy stock gained more than 25% Wednesday on the news. The extended deal with a 'leading' U.S.-based partner reduces costs, improves cash flow, and locks in hydrogen access through the end of this decade, the Latham-headquartered firm revealed in a press release on Wednesday. This Underdog AI Stock Just Got a New Street-High Price Target Texas Just Passed Quantum Computing Legislation. How Should You Play IONQ Stock Here? 'The Most Patriotic Thing You Can Do Is Not Pay the IRS' Says Grant Cardone as OBBBA Signed into Law — Here's How Much You'll Save Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Including today's surge, Plug Power stock is up more than 150% versus its year-to-date low. Investors are cheering PLUG shares this morning because the announced supply agreement lowers costs while securing long-term access to hydrogen – potentially improving the company's margin profile and cash flow moving forward. Coupled with enhanced network efficiency and rising demand for clean hydrogen, the multi-year deal supports the aggressive scaling of the Nasdaq-listed firm's applications business. In short, the extended contract de-risks PLUG's growth strategy and energizes investor sentiment. Plug Power shares have already been on a tear in recent sessions – but an H.C. Wainwright analyst remains convinced they will extend gains further in the months ahead. Earlier this week, the investment firm reiterated its 'Buy' rating on the clean energy stock with a $3 price target that indicates potential for another 68% upside from here. According to analysts, the 'Big Beautiful' bill that President Donald Trump signed into law on July 4 will prove a meaningful tailwind for PLUG stock given it extends hydrogen tax incentives. CFO Paul Middleton's recent purchase of 650,000 shares further substantiates the bullish narrative surrounding Plug Power stock. While not as bullish as H.C. Wainwright, other Wall Street firms forecast continued gains in PLUG shares as well. According to Barchart, the consensus rating on Plug Power stock sits at 'Hold' only, but the mean target of $1.96 suggests potential upside of another 10% from current levels.

Indeed, Glassdoor cutting about 6% of staff; sites to merge operations
Indeed and Glassdoor will lay off about 1,300 employees, the online job and work sites' Japanese parent company, Recruit Holdings, has announced. The Tokyo-headquartered human resources and jobs company, which acquired the companies in 2012 and 2018, respectively, said the job cuts would come in its HR technology segment, according to the company's press release. The reductions amount to about 6% of the company's 20,000 employees in that business unit. The job cuts across the two job sites reflect a shift in focus to artificial intelligence, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Thursday, July 10. The Indeed and Glassdoor job cuts are just the most recent workforce reductions in the tech sector, in part, due to AI developments. Back in February, Facebook parent company Meta laid off more than 3,000 employees, while finance and HR software company Workday cut 1,750 employees. More recently, Microsoft in July cut about 4% of its workforce, after a 3% workforce reduction in May. New job, new career?: Most job switchers are making a change in career: Top 5 fields they're leaving. Although Recruit CEO Hisayuki "Deko" Idekoba did not explain the reasoning behind the cuts, he said in the email to employees, "AI is changing the world, and we must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences for job seekers and employers," Bloomberg reported. Most of the jobs being cut are in the U.S. and within the research and development, growth, and people and sustainability teams, but the reductions span all functions and several countries, the memo said. The operations of job and company review site Glassdoor will be integrated into job search site Indeed, the company said, adding that Glassdoor CEO Christian Sutherland-Wong is exiting the company, effective Oct. 1. Also departing: LaFawn Davis, Indeed's chief people and sustainability officer, who will step down Sept. 1, and will be succeeded by Ayano Senaha, chief operating officer at Recruit. The financial impacts of the job cuts had "already been largely incorporated" into the company's outlook for the rest of its fiscal year, ending March 31, 2026, the company said.
