Starbucks continues to close stores in the United States in 2025

by

Coffee giant Starbucks faces challenging year in 2025, marked by the closure of several stores in the United States. The company has attributed this decision to the decrease in customer traffic and worker discomfortwhich have put pressure on its operations and finances. ScrapeHero has indicated that Starbucks operated more than 17,000 authorized and operated stores in the North American country before the end of 2024. However, the company faces difficulties derived from a the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, decreased foot traffic in certain key locations, and worker strikes demanding better working conditions. These issues led to the closure of more than 60 stores in 2024 and continue to influence the company’s operations in 2025. Rachel Ruggeri, Starbucks’ chief financial officer, highlighted in the preliminary 2024 financial report: “Despite our increased investments, we were unable to change the trajectory of our declining traffic, putting pressure on both our revenue and bottom line.”. At the end of this month of January, one of the Starbucks stores in New York will close.Credit: valerii eidlin | Shutterstock Besides, Ruggeri mentioned that Starbucks is developing a recovery plan that will include an increase in dividends to generate confidence among shareholders and ensure the sustainability of the business. Stores closed in 2025 Data from Usearch and StarbucksEverywhere, a blog specialized in the coffee chain, have identified the following stores closed or with scheduled closures: California: 99 Jackson St, San Francisco (will close February 9). 1799 Fulton St, San Francisco (closed). 2222 Fillmore St, San Francisco (closed). 145 W. Santa Clara St, San José (closed). New York: 166 7th Avenue, Brooklyn (will close January 30). Pennsylvania: 1851 Bethlehem Pike, Flourtown (closed). Maryland: 1046 W Patrick St, Frederick (closed). Texas: 1201 Elm St, Dallas (closed). Oregon: 1001 N Arney Rd, Woodburn (closed). 12000 Southeast 82nd Avenue, Happy Valley (closed). Kansas: 10201 W 75th St, Overland Park (closed). Illinois: 751 N Milwaukee Ave, Wheeling (closed). A Starbucks representative explained to SFGATE that “as part of Starbucks’ standard course of business, we continually evaluate our business to ensure a healthy store portfolio.” Impact and Projections Store closures not only affect consumers who lose convenient access points, but also employees who face losing their jobs. This phenomenon also highlights the challenges that food and beverage chains face in a changing and competitive economic environment.. In addition to the closures, Starbucks plans to reduce new store openings in 2025. According to statements from the CFO last October, this will allow “accommodating a redesign, while also unlocking capital to support our broader change.” Looking to the future As Starbucks works to overcome these challenges, its success will depend on its ability to adapt to new market demands and respond to the concerns of its workers. With strategies in place and a renewed focus on efficiency, the company seeks to regain its positioning in the competitive coffee sector.

European telecos are discouraged before global competition

by

The Departure by José María Álvarez-Pallete de Telefónica It marks the end of an era that symbolizes the decline of the sector in Europe. Its mandate ends with a 57% drop in the stock market value of the company since 2016, when it agreed to the position. Of course the problem goes far beyond Telefónica. Why is it important. The European Telecommunications sector has lost 41% of its stock market capitalization between 2015 and 2023, falling to 270,000 million euros. In contrast, American telecos are worth more than 650,000 million. The root of the problem. Europe has 34 mobile network operators and 351 virtual operators for 450 million inhabitants. The United States, with 335 million inhabitants, only has three main and 70 virtual operators. China, for 1.4 billion inhabitants, has four operators and 16 virtual. Proportionally to its populations … Europe has eight times more main operators than the US and 27 times more than China. In virtual operators the difference is even greater: almost four times more than the US and 78 times more than China. Between the lines. European regulation has prioritized low prices and high competition, creating a fragmented and unable sector to compete globally. Meanwhile, the US and China have opted for giants with financial muscle. This dynamic has had consequences: it is expected that the sector only grows 1.7% in 2025. In Spain, 71,000 jobs have been destroyed since 1998, according to appointment Five days. And while the 5G coverage in Europe is 81%, in the US and in China it exceeds 95%, according to The independent. Turning point. He Draghi report Ask to facilitate mergers and end market fragmentation. The new European Competition Commissioner, Teresa Ribera, He said that the rules “will evolve” to allow larger scale. It is a burning nail to which you have to grab. Without a regulatory change that allows consolidation (and perhaps requires greater contribution to large technological ones whose business goes through the use of these networks, A historical demand Of the great telecos), the European Telecos sector will continue to lag in the global race.

detect a plane at 5,000 meters high

by

China has been around for a while developing all types of sensors and radars whose characteristics suggest a future very different from the current one. Without going too far, last September They tested a device called LARIDa super radar that was able to detect a gigantic bubble of invisible plasma in the Pyramid of Giza. The latter is something very different, and can change the battlefield. Unprecedented underwater radar. In a secret location 1,000 meters deep, Chinese scientists have developed and tested what points to an unprecedented underwater sensor capable of detecting aircraft at high altitude from the depths of the ocean, representing an unparalleled strategic advance for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) submarine fleet. To give us an idea, technology managed to identify a fixed-wing aircraft at 5,000 meters above sea levela milestone that no other nation has achieved to date. Such technology, which until now was considered impractical due to the complex acoustic properties of water, could dramatically improve the survivability of submarines against warplanes. antisubmarineequipped with advanced sensors to locate and destroy them. Implications and capabilities. Underwater radar represents a significant strategic advantage for the nation. The reason? Turn the current combat around, allowing your submarines to go from targets to hunters in anti-submarine warfare. Currently, aircraft equipped with advanced sensors can detect and attack submarines without being spotted, but with this new technology Chinese submarines could, a priori, receive early warnings of hostile aircraft and launch missiles from underwater with precision. And there is more, of course. The main technological challenge lies in the fact that most of the sound waves generated by aircraft are reflected from the sea surface, making their detection difficult. However, researchers at the Institute of Acoustics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by Zhang Bo and Peng Zhaohuiemphasize that they have achieved an innovative solution by taking advantage of the multiple reflection of sound waves between the seabed and the water surface, allowing Extend detection range and improve radar sensitivity. System testing and limitations. Apparently, In 2022, China carried out secret tests of underwater radarmanaging to detect a plane 17 kilometers away and, attention, with a margin of error of less than one kilometer. Still, limitations were identified, such as a blind spot when aircraft fly directly over the sensors, as well as a detection range that still needs to be expanded for effective military applications. In this regard, Zhang and Peng continue working on system optimizationalthough they have not revealed recent data. Complement to the military intelligence network. China’s military strategy is based on a multi-layered approach that integrates various detection technologies. Currently, the People’s Liberation Army has a satellite network capable of tracking high-performance aircraft like the F-22 stealth fightersin addition to radar systems on ships and land stations. The new underwater radar would act as a complement, providing redundancy and improving detection capability in hostile environments. Future perspectives. Although the details of this development were kept secret for years due to its military sensitivity, the research team has recently published an article in the journal Acta Acusticaa job where information about the functionality of the system is provided. That said, and as is often the case with innovations of this type, everything indicates that there remains a long road of testing and improvements in operational scope to guarantee its effective integration in real combat scenarios. What does seem abundantly clear is that the innovative underwater detection system marks a paradigm shift in naval warfare, one where, in the absence of verifying it on the ground, It would give China a huge tactical advantagehighlighting its leadership in the development of cutting-edge underwater surveillance technologies.

Colombia reverses conflict with the US over deportations and Trump lifts sanctions

by

The White House said this Sunday that Colombia backtracked and agreed to accept its deported citizens on military flights, after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose sanctions. The Trump administration will suspend planned tariffs and most sanctions, according to a White House statement. Minutes later, the chancellor of Colombia, Luis Gilberto Murillo confirmed that his country considers “the impasse with the United States has been overcome” and that he accepts the terms of Trump’s repatriation policy. “We will continue to receive Colombian men and women who return as deportees,” the diplomat said in a press conference. The White House said in a statement that Colombia, Latin America’s fourth largest economy, agreed to “accept without restrictions all illegal aliens from Colombia returning from the United States.”even on US military aircraft, without limitations or delays.” Petro upset Trump “Today’s events make clear to the world that the United States is respected again,” the statement added. He added that “President Trump will continue to fiercely protect the sovereignty” of the United States and that he hopes that all nations “will cooperate fully to accept the deportation of their citizens who are illegally” in the country. Colombian President Gustavo Petro, the first leftist in power in the South American country, had angered Trump by refusing to accept military planes with Colombians deported from the United States. Petro said his country would welcome the migrants back, but “with dignity,” even on civilian planes.

It is becoming increasingly clear that there is no “normal” body temperature.

by

If you ask us what the “normal” temperature of our body is, the instinctive answer will be 37º Celsius. When the thermometer exceeds that mark, we usually talk about fevermild or high depending on how far we move away from the figure. However, over time health experts have realized that the reality is a little more complex. The body temperature issue It is not a mere curiosity. Fever is an important response of our body to many diseases or disorders, generally to infections. The fever It is a double-edged sword: our body raises its temperature to try to kill viruses and bacteria that may be damaging it, while activating our body’s immune response; However, in the process, fever can also put the proper functioning of our organs at risk and cause other problems such as dehydration. Since fever is a common response to various illnesses, it can also cause us serve as a diagnostic toolto narrow the circle on the possible conditions that affect us. Answering the question of what is the “normal” temperature of our body is difficult. And the reasons behind this are several. Firstly, because, over the last century and a half, the estimated average temperature of the human body has been reducing. The notion that our body temperature It is at 37º and dates back to the mid-19th century. In 1868, the German doctor Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich conducted a study using 25,000 patients and more than a million temperature measurements. From these data, he calculated that the average temperature was 37ºbut also observed certain deviations. However, more recent studies have observed lower average temperatures. A recent example of this we found it in a studio Made in the United States and published in 2020 in the magazine eLife. The analysis indicated that Americans’ body temperatures had been dropping at a rate of about 0.03º Celsius every decade. A previous study conducted in the United Kingdom and published in 2017 in the magazine B.M.J.estimated an average temperature of 36.6º in its sample of more than 35,000 participants and 250,000 measurements. We don’t really know why body temperature has been reducing over time. A possible explanation It lies in the improvements in hygiene and immunity, which would imply a lower incidence of infections in the population and therefore lower average temperatures. But this is just one of the various hypotheses that seek to explain the phenomenon. Wunderlich himself observed in his study that men and older people tended to have lower body temperatures, while women and younger people had higher temperatures on average. Which brings us to the second reason why establishing a “normal” reading is especially difficult. And it depends. Sex and age are two of the factors that can make what is “normal” for one person not “normal” for another. But other factors can also alter this figure. a study published in 2023 in the magazine JAMA Internal Medicine measured the degree to which these factors affected body temperature, but also added new variables such as height, body mass, and the time of day at which the measurement was taken. Among the sample of 618,306 observations, the average temperature was at 36.64º Celsius. Among the participants, the average readings for each individual ranged between 36.24º and 36.89º. It is also worth remembering that there are different ways to measure body temperature (tympanic, oral, axillary…) and that each one It presents some slight associated deviations. So at what temperature fever comes? As is evident after what we have read, the answer is that it depends on each person and situation, although fortunately, with the variations being less than one degree, the interpretation of the results of a thermometer may not be as different from the conventional one as to affect decisions such as whether or not to stay home during a cold. However, for health experts, having better knowledge about these variables can be of great help. That is why new studies have also investigated this question. One published in November of last year in the magazine Scientific Reports by South Korean researchers, analyzed the body temperature of 9,195 hospital patients through tympanic temperature measurements (the tympanic temperature It is usually half a degree above the oral measurement and about one degree above the axillary measurement). The team estimated an average temperature of 36.91º Celsius, and a limit of 37.81º for fever.

We believed that the price of coffee could not rise much more. The diplomatic “war” between Colombia and the US thinks otherwise

by

Of the tens of thousands of words that make up the English lexicon, Donald Trump has one that he especially likes and for which he has declared his love in some or other interview: tariff (tariff). This weekend he reminded the Colombian president of this in a quite practical way, threatening to impose 25% rates (or even 50%) if he did not give in to the aggressive immigration policy which is promoted from the White House. Everything indicates that it will remain that way, a threat, but it serves to warm up a market that has been facing strong shocks for months. turbulence: the one with coffee. Yes 2025 It looked complicated For lovers of morning espressos, your outlook has just become more complicated. What has happened? That Trump has shown that, indeed, he feels a special weakness for the word “tariff.” Over the last few weeks it has announced more or less clearly that it will apply taxes on imports of China, Mexico, Canada, Europe, Denmark and even Spainalthough it is still not entirely clear whether the latter was said deliberately or as a result of a geographical ‘slip’. Curiously, it has been another country that has been on the verge of suffering tariff fury from the republican: Colombia. Screenshot of Trump’s announcement on Truth Social. Why’s that? For something that actually has little to do with the international market, trade balances and tax policy. The trigger has been migration. And a political fight between Washington and Bogotá. Basically, yesterday the Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, refused to allow two planes from the US loaded with deported Colombians to land in his country. What’s more, he threatened not to welcome them until Trump adopts protocols that guarantee treatment. “with dignity and respect” for immigrants. The response of the Republican, who has managed to return to the White House after an electoral campaign that largely pivoted on a hardening of immigration policy, it did not take long to wait: through its platform Truth Social advertisement a 25% rate for the import of Colombian merchandise that would rise to 50% in a matter of days. Petro responded after a few hours with the same currencyordering a sudden increase (25%) in the tariffs that Bogotá applies to US goods. How did the crash end? In dispatches and without reaching customs. At least for now. Despite its initial reaction, the Petro Executive ended up giving in to Washington’s demands and agreed to receive the planes with deportees. Enough so that Trump has not yet signed the economic sanctions, which have already been drafted and will be activated if his southern neighbor “does not comply” with the agreement. “The Government of Colombia has accepted all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returning from the US,” they boast from the White House, which reminds that Bogotá will also receive them “without limitations or delay.” Click on the image to go to the tweet. What does it have to do with coffee? Simple. The announcement of Trump’s tariffs and the fight between the White House and the Nariño Palace did more than shake up American diplomacy. He also put on guard various sectors Colombians who have important interests in the United States, such as oil, floriculture (which is preparing for the millionaire campaign Valentine’s Day) and coffee. Of all of them, the one more expectation generatesdue to the state of its market and price driftis the latter. At the end of the day, Colombia is not just any country on the international coffee map. And the United States is not just another market for Colombian producers either. This double condition means that everything that affects the relationship between the two, including of course the threats of 25% tariffs or even 50%, interest (and quite a bit) to the market. But… What does the data say? To begin with, Colombia is one of the main coffee powers on the planet. The own tables The US Department of Agriculture places it as the third largest producer, only behind Brazil and Vietnam. Other observatories leave the same drawing, like Statista. A 2024 reportThe USDA office, linked to the US Government, estimated that during the 2024/2025 campaign, Colombian coffee exports would total around 12 million GBE bags. Colombia matters on the global coffee map. And its relationship with the United States is also important, something that is better understood with the help of a couple of figures. According to the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), in 2022 Colombia exported 15.6 billion dollars to the US, of which almost 1.8 billion corresponded to coffee. This data makes it the second largest exported commodity in terms of value, only behind crude oil. The footprint of Colombia in the flow of coffee that reaches the US is also considerable. Click on the image to go to the tweet. But the rate would affect the US, right? The US tariff policy is that, the US tariff policy, and as warned The New York Times Yesterday, basically imposing 25% taxes on Colombian goods would mean that Americans would have to dig deeper into their pockets to buy flowers and coffee. However, if we talk about grain, what happens on the other side of the Atlantic interests us. And the reason is very simple: shocks like the one on Sunday put even more tension on a market that is already go through turbulence. “If the US imposes a 25% tariff on all Colombian exports, the already red-hot coffee market will heat up even more. Colombia is the third largest coffee producer in the world (and a key source of rabi beans). premium)”, I was reflecting yesterday in X Javier Blas, Bloomberg columnist. In the same tweet he included a column written by himself a few days ago in which he warned of the complex panorama facing the coffee market. And what situation is that? In Xataka we have talked already several times her. And it is summed up … Read more
