Dry Bulk Shipping: China The Dominant Market for US Soybeans

Despite the rising trade tensions, China is still the main destination for US soybeans. In its latest weekly report, shipbroker Banchero Costa said that “total seaborne exports of soybeans in calendar (Jan-Dec) 2024 declined by -5.0% year-on-year to 142.3 mln tonnes, according to vessel tracking data from AXS Marine. This was a correction from the +10.2% y-o-y growth recorded in 2023, and global trade volumes were still higher than the 135.9 mln tonnes in 2022 and the 141.7 mln tonnes in 2021. Soybeans are one of the most important dry bulk commodities, and account for almost 5 percent of all seaborne dry bulk trade”.

In Jan-Dec 2024, shipments from Brazil declined by -4.8% y-o-y to 97.0 mln tonnes, down from the record high 101.9 mln tonnes exported in calendar 2023.

Sanctioned Russian Tankers Will Offload Oil In Syria

Two tankers hit by U.S. sanctions are due to offload Russian Arctic Oil in Syria for the first time, days after Moscow made its first known delivery of diesel there in more than a decade, according to LSEG data, a government source and local TV.

One of the tankers, Aquatica, with some 100,000 tons of Russian oil onboard, is set to offload in Baniyas port soon, according to a government source and pro-government Syria TV.

The vessel arrived on Thursday, but has yet to offload, according to the TV report and the government source.

The second tanker, Sakina, is still on its way to Baniyas with another 100,000 tons of oil, LSEG data showed, and was set to arrive on March 25.

Both vessels are subject to the U.S. sanctions imposed on January 10, as is the Umba storage tanker near the northern port of Murmansk where both vessels loaded the volumes in February, according to shipping data seen by sources.

Russia has to look for alternative buyers of its Arctic oil since the U.S. sanctions in January hit producer Gazprom neft and the tankers shipping the crude.

Syria is struggling to find a replacement for Iranian oil for its refineries, as it struggles with its own oil output. Syria’s Baniyas refinery, the largest in the country, halted operations in…

Alcohol Abuse: Understanding, Overcoming, and Recovery Guide

0

If you’re a long-term, heavy drinker, you may need medically supervised detoxification. Detox can be done on an outpatient basis or in a hospital or alcohol treatment facility, where you may be prescribed medication to prevent medical complications and relieve withdrawal symptoms. Don’t consider your part done after your friend or family member is in therapy. Offer to help out with work, childcare, and household tasks if they get in the way of treatment sessions.

struggling with alcohol addiction

A person with an addiction will continue using a substance despite its effect on their health. It can have short and long-term side effects and complications. When you’re walking through addiction recovery, truth is your anchor. God’s Word reminds you of who you are, who He is, and what He promises — even when emotions, cravings, or circumstances try to say otherwise.

Coping with Uncertainty Meditation

struggling with alcohol addiction

He longs for healing and accepts that his recovery will most likely be a painful journey. He surrenders his fate to whatever force can help him achieve the sobriety he needs. This song is about the awareness that being sober requires a lot of mindfulness. Drugs have the power to destroy people’s lives and break up families. This is a raw and heartbreaking song about a son’s pain at the death of his mother from overdose. Drug addiction is not uncommon in the music industry, so it is understandable why a number of musicians have written songs about it.

  • Here, we will explore how individuals can address these issues and seek professional support to aid their recovery process.
  • In Your infinite love, I pray that they may find peace and hope in their relationships and receive the support they need.
  • While some of these signs may appear almost immediately, depending on the substance, some are gradual and will appear over time.
  • Dr. Mala, is the Chief Clinical Officer at Recovery.com, where she develops impartial and informative resources for people seeking addiction and mental health treatment.

Fortunately, with patience, compassion, information, and evidence-based strategies, it’s possible to support someone through the recovery process. Every month, 150,000 people search for addiction or mental health treatment on Recovery.com. Schedule V drugs have little-to-no risk of dependence or abuse. Build a sober social network – If your previous social life revolved around alcohol, you may need to make some new connections.

Recognizing Withdrawal Symptoms

Almighty God, I humbly come before You in prayer, seeking Your divine intervention in the life of the alcoholic on my heart. I pray for their physical health, that You may heal their body from the harmful effects of alcohol and restore them to full health. I also pray for their mental health, that You may remove any bondage or strongholds that addiction has caused in their mind, and bring clarity and peace to their thoughts. Please grant them the strength and courage to overcome their addiction, that they may find the determination and willpower to fight against this stronghold. Lord, I ask that You ignite within them a deep desire to seek help, to reach out to the necessary resources and support systems that can aid them in their journey towards recovery.

What Does Alcohol Use Disorder Look Like in Day-to-day Life?

Keep your profile updated with photos, videos, services, and contact details to connect with the right people. Fourteen (14) drugs are classified as Schedule V. One example of a Schedule V drugs are cough medicines with 100 to 200 ml of codeine per dose. Some examples of Schedule II drugs are cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone. For more information, Oxford House see our report on the average cost of drug rehab. Hallucinogens are both naturally occurring (plants and fungi) and synthetic. As most hallucinogens have no accepted medical use for treatment in the US, they are illegal.

Behavioral Treatments

  • The emotional impact of helping a loved one stay sober can take a toll.
  • Let Your Word rebuild me.I am a new creation — remind me until I believe it.In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
  • When alcohol consumption becomes abusive, it’s time to seek treatment.

It’s incredibly challenging to be the person who struggles with an inability to control their problematic drinking. It is equally challenging to witness a loved one battling Alcohol Use Disorder. The stark contrast between those who can enjoy a half glass of wine with dinner and move on while others face the relentless grip of addiction is undeniably one of life’s profound injustices. Understanding the causes of alcohol addiction can shed light on this complex issue and help us explore it more compassionately.

Medical Professionals

Chances are good that you know someone who’s recovering from substance use disorder (SUD) and could benefit from your support. Maybe they’re a close family member or friend, or maybe it’s someone you don’t know as well. Millions of people struggle with alcohol use—often without realizing the warning signs. If you find it hard to control your drinking or it’s affecting your daily life, you’re not alone. Find rehab for yourself or a loved one by speaking with a treatment provider. There are several different support groups tailored to specific substances or demographics.

  • It’s important to take the hard but needed steps to protect the health and safety of the person with the addiction, and those around them too.
  • 12-step fellowship programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA), offer meetings in a supportive and encouraging environment.
  • For 3 to 4 weeks, write down every time you have a drink and how much you drink.
  • Positive health effects include improved emotional regulation, reduced stress levels, and increased motivation to maintain sobriety.
  • By facing these challenges head-on, individuals can gain valuable insights into themselves, develop resilience, and cultivate the necessary skills to navigate the ups and downs of recovery.

In fact, the most effective interventions are the ones in which the friends and family members speak to their loved one in calm, clear terms. Many avoid holding interventions because they are convinced it will be an angry confrontation, and they do not want the person to feel worse than they already do. That is not surprising, because what is Oxford House many people who face interventions say they felt ambushed.

يشمل أسطول الصير مارين حاليًا ناقلتين للغاز المسال بسعة إجمالية تبلغ نحو 22,700 طن، وثلاث ناقلات نفط عملاقة تزيد سعة كل منها على 300,000 طن، وسبع ناقلات متوسطة المدى بسعة تقارب 49,800 طن لكل منها، وناقلة بضائع سائبة بسعة 37,314 طن. كما تمتلك الصير مارين ناقلتي غاز عملاقتين من خلال شركة “أي بي جي سي” في مركز دبي للسلع المتعددة، وهي كيان مشترك مع شركة “بي جي أن إنترناشيونال” في مركز دبي للسلع المتعددة، وسيتم توسيع أسطول هذا الكيان من خلال استلام ثلاث ناقلات غاز عملاقة جديدة بحلول العام 2026، بسعة تفوق سعة كل منهما 51,000 طن.

مع هذا الأسطول الذي يضم 16 سفينة عاملة و 3 سفن قيد الإنشاء، تلعب الصير مارين دورًا محوريًا في تعزيز قدرات دولة الإمارات في قطاع شحن الطاقة والبتروكيماويات، ما يدعم مكانتها باعتبارها واحدة من أكبر مصدري الطاقة الموثوقين عالميًا؛ حيث يشكل أسطول الشركة ضمانة لدعم سلاسل الإمداد الوطنية والإقليمية، وتعزيز استمرارية التوريد في الأسواق العالمية للطاقة.

Russia’s Shadow Fleet’s Been Busy…

This week marked the three-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (February 24, 2025).
