New data-driven report, citing Bloomberg analysis, provides a navigational blueprint for the $10 billion global holiday goods trade.

Corvallis, Oregon, China, 14th Nov 2025  – Best Sourcing Agent (https://best-sourcing-agent.com/), a leading global procurement and supply chain solutions provider, today released its 2026 St. Patrick’s Day Global Supply Chain Outlook Report. The report introduces the industry’s first “St. Patrick’s Day Supply Chain Pressure Index,” a data-driven model that integrates macroeconomic analysis from Bloomberg with proprietary operational data. This index provides a critical navigational blueprint for businesses navigating the complex, $10 billion global trade routes for holiday goods.

Validated Insights from Authoritative Data

The report’s analysis is grounded in authoritative third-party data, including insights from Bloomberg:

– Macroeconomic Intelligence: The report cites Bloomberg’s retail growth forecasts and consumer confidence index analysis for key markets like the U.S. and EU, providing macro-level demand-side context.
– Official Data Benchmarking: The findings strongly correlate with import data for relevant categories such as “artificial flowers and ornaments” from U.S. Census Bureau and Eurostat.
– Operational Validation: Best Sourcing Agent’s platform data further validates how these macro trends manifest in practical logistics execution.

“In complex global trade, cross-referencing Bloomberg’s ‘economic pulse’ with our platform’s ‘trade execution’ data allows us to see clearer and further,” stated the CEO of Best Sourcing Agent. “The value of this report lies in completing this precise puzzle, offering the industry a clearer roadmap for action.”

2026 Outlook: Index Points to Three Key Trends

The Pressure Index model yields three quantifiable predictions for 2026, offering actionable insights for businesses:
1.Trend: Port Congestion Shifts East and South
The Finding: With ongoing pressure on U.S. West Coast ports, cargo volume routed through Gulf and East Coast gateways is projected to increase by 15%.
The Action: The report advises firms to pre-plan and diversify logistics routes to mitigate delays.

2.Trend: The “Viral Product” Countdown
The Finding: For orders driven by short-video platforms, the supply chain response time must be compressed to a critical window of 7-10 days. Otherwise, the risk of missing the core sales window skyrockets to 70%.
The Action: Agility is paramount. Sourcing and production partners must be capable of ultra-rapid turnaround.

3. Trend: The Sustainability Advantage
The Finding: Shipments utilizing certified sustainable materials are projected to clear customs 20-30% faster than conventional products.
The Action: Investing in sustainability is no longer just an ethical choice—it’s a competitive logistics strategy that reduces costs and delays.

Call to Action: Pioneering a Sustainable Holiday Trade
To support long-term industry development, Best Sourcing Agent announced it will lead the creation of a Sustainable Holiday Trade Whitepaper. This initiative aims to establish the first comprehensive set of environmental and social responsibility standards for seasonal goods. The company invites brands, suppliers, and logistics partners to collaborate and endorse this framework.

Children from “Truth About Drugs Denmark” lead major cannabis awareness effort as national youth drug use continues to decline

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (November 2025) – A new generation of young volunteers in Denmark is taking the lead in the fight against drug abuse. In 2025, children and teens affiliated with Truth About Drugs Denmark have engaged more than 500 local shopkeepers in Copenhagen to display and distribute The Truth About Drugs educational booklets. This initiative is the latest in a decades-long campaign supported by the Church of Scientology to promote drug-free living across the country.

Youth-Led Street Outreach Turns Shops into Education Points

Teams of young volunteers – aged 10 to 20 – have canvassed neighborhoods throughout Copenhagen, approaching businesses with a simple message: make factual information about drugs easily available to the public. More than 500 businesses have since agreed to participate by placing booklets at checkout counters and engaging customers in conversations about substance use.

Giulia, a public affairs advisor supporting the volunteers, described their impact: “They are showing adults that they care about our future—and that they are taking responsibility for it.”

The materials, developed by the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, are secular and fact-based, covering the effects of drugs such as cannabis, ecstasy, cocaine, and alcohol. The campaign’s goal is to help people make informed decisions. One teenage volunteer explained: “This is about saving lives, not religion. We want people to know what drugs really do.”

Youth Cannabis Use Down Sharply in Denmark

The campaign coincides with encouraging national data: cannabis use among Danish youth has dropped significantly over the past decade. According to a November 2025 report by Center for Rusmiddelforskning (Danish Center for Drug Research), cannabis use among 15–25-year-olds has fallen from 44% in 2014 to 31.6% in 2025. Among young men, the drop is even steeper—from 51% to 34%.

A key reason? “There is simply more awareness and caution today,” said researcher Kirsten Frederiksen in a DR article. “The risk appetite isn’t as high as it used to be.”

Researchers cited broad dissemination of drug education materials as a contributing factor to this shift, suggesting that prevention campaigns are effectively reaching their audience. These findings support the relevance of grassroots efforts like the Copenhagen outreach.

A Longstanding Scientology-Supported Effort

This youth-led project builds on more than 30 years of drug education efforts by the Church of Scientology in Denmark. Since 1991, Scientology volunteers have distributed Truth About Drugs materials at major events, including the Copenhagen Marathon and the Royal Run, as well as in public spaces such as Strøget.

The campaign reflects the views of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, who wrote that “the single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs.” Inspired by this principle, the Church has supported drug education projects in over 200 cities worldwide through its partnership with the Foundation for a Drug-Free World.

“They Are Already Changing the World”

European institutions increasingly recognize the value of youth-led prevention. Ivan Arjona, the Church of Scientology’s representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe, and United Nations, emphasized the broader relevance of this campaign:

“Meaningful youth participation isn’t a fairy tale. It’s a blueprint for building resilient communities — one booklet and one conversation at a time. These young people are not waiting for permission to change the world… They are already doing it.”

By turning local shops into knowledge centers and empowering young voices, the campaign demonstrates how community engagement and evidence-based education can reshape attitudes and behavior—without stigma or coercion.

About the Church of Scientology

The Church of Scientology and its affiliated missions, groups, and members are active across the European continent. It continues to be recognized in multiple countries as a charitable and bona fide religion. Inspired by the humanitarian legacy of L. Ron Hubbard, the Church is committed to long-term education, prevention, and community betterment initiatives, particularly in the fields of drug prevention, human rights, and moral values education.

Awkward Recovery’s Innovative IOP Approach Addresses Root Causes of Addiction, Leading to More Sustainable Recovery Outcomes

Austin, Texas, United States, 12th Nov 2025 – As understanding of addiction’s underlying causes continues to evolve, mental health professionals are increasingly recognizing the critical role of trauma in substance use disorders. The integration of dual diagnosis treatment with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is emerging as a game-changing approach that addresses both trauma and addiction simultaneously, leading to more sustainable recovery outcomes.

Recent studies indicate that up to 75% of individuals seeking addiction treatment have experienced significant trauma, yet traditional treatment models often fail to address these underlying issues. This gap in care has contributed to relapse rates that hover around 40-60% within the first year of recovery. However, programs incorporating dual diagnosis treatment with trauma-focused interventions like EMDR are reporting significantly improved long-term recovery rates.

“For too long, we’ve treated addiction as if it exists in a vacuum,” says Rachel Stein, Co-Founder of Atomic Souls Counseling and Awkward Recovery. “But when someone is using substances to cope with unresolved trauma, treating only the addiction is like putting a bandaid on a broken bone. Dual diagnosis treatment combined with EMDR allows us to address the root cause while managing the symptoms.”

The Trauma-Addiction Connection

The relationship between trauma and addiction is well-documented but often overlooked in traditional treatment settings. Individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are 2-4 times more likely to develop substance use disorders. Common trauma responses that contribute to addiction include:

• Hypervigilance and anxiety that individuals attempt to medicate with substances
• Emotional numbing that substances temporarily alleviate
• Sleep disturbances that lead to self-medication
• Intrusive memories that substances help suppress

Without addressing these underlying trauma symptoms, individuals in recovery often find themselves struggling with the same triggers that led to substance use initially, making sustainable recovery extremely difficult.

How EMDR Changes the Recovery Landscape

EMDR, originally developed for PTSD treatment, has shown remarkable effectiveness in addiction recovery settings. The therapy uses bilateral stimulation—typically through guided eye movements—to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and associated triggers.

When integrated into dual diagnosis treatment at intensive outpatient programs like Awkward Recovery, EMDR offers several advantages:

Rapid symptom relief: Many clients report significant reduction in trauma symptoms within 6-12 sessions, compared to months or years with traditional talk therapy alone.

Reduced cravings: As trauma triggers lose their intensity, many individuals experience decreased cravings for substances they previously used to cope.

Improved emotional regulation: EMDR helps develop healthier coping mechanisms, reducing reliance on substances for emotional management.

Breaking the cycle: By addressing root trauma, EMDR helps prevent the revolving door of treatment and relapse.

The Awkward Recovery Difference

Awkward Recovery’s intensive outpatient program in Austin takes a uniquely integrated approach to dual diagnosis treatment. The Joint Commission-accredited IOP combines evidence-based therapies like EMDR with flexible scheduling that accommodates real-world responsibilities.

“We built our IOP around the understanding that people can’t put their lives on hold for treatment,” explains Stein. “Our evening sessions and comprehensive dual diagnosis approach mean clients can address trauma and addiction while maintaining work and family commitments. It’s about creating sustainable recovery that fits into real life.”

The program’s approach recognizes that mental health conditions and substance use disorders are interconnected and must be treated simultaneously. This is particularly crucial for trauma survivors, who often experience:

• Depression and anxiety alongside addiction
• Complex PTSD that complicates traditional recovery approaches
• Multiple trauma exposures requiring comprehensive treatment
• Co-occurring disorders that worsen without integrated care

Real-World Impact

Treatment centers implementing integrated dual diagnosis and EMDR protocols are reporting encouraging outcomes:

• Higher treatment completion rates
• Reduced relapse rates at 6-month and 1-year markers
• Improved mental health outcomes beyond just sobriety
• Better family relationships and social functioning
• Increased ability to maintain employment during recovery

“What we’re seeing is not just people getting sober, but people actually healing,” notes Stein. “When you address the trauma driving the addiction, recovery becomes about building a life worth living, not just avoiding substances. Our IOP participants often tell us they’re discovering who they really are for the first time.”

Accessibility and Austin’s Unique Needs

Austin’s rapidly growing population and unique cultural landscape create specific challenges for addiction treatment. The city’s high-stress tech industry, vibrant nightlife scene, and rising cost of living all contribute to increased substance use and mental health challenges.

Awkward Recovery’s IOP addresses these local factors by:

• Offering evening sessions that work with professional schedules
• Providing culturally competent care that understands Austin’s diverse population
• Creating community connections that support recovery in a city where socializing often centers around alcohol
• Accepting insurance to improve accessibility

Looking Forward

The integration of dual diagnosis treatment with EMDR represents a paradigm shift in addiction recovery. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, this approach acknowledges the complex relationship between trauma, mental health, and substance use.

“We’re finally treating people as whole human beings with interconnected experiences, not just a collection of diagnoses,” Stein emphasizes. “This integrated approach isn’t just changing how we do treatment—it’s changing what recovery is possible.”

For individuals struggling with both trauma and addiction, these advances offer new hope. By addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, integrated treatment approaches are helping people not just achieve sobriety but build foundations for lasting wellness.

About Awkward Recovery

Awkward Recovery is a Joint Commission-accredited intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Austin, Texas, providing evidence-based dual diagnosis treatment for addiction and mental health disorders. Co-founded by Rachel Stein, the program combines traditional therapies with innovative approaches like EMDR to address the root causes of addiction. With flexible evening scheduling and a focus on real-world recovery, Awkward Recovery helps individuals build sustainable sobriety while maintaining their daily responsibilities.

Estonia, 11th November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE– AgriFi, the blockchain-powered agriculture finance ecosystem, is strengthening its mission to democratize agricultural wealth by introducing a blockchain-based staking and transparent profit-sharing model that empowers both farmers and investors to participate in real agricultural productivity.

Built on the Polygon network, this model transforms traditional farming returns into verifiable, blockchain-tracked income streams, allowing AGF token holders to earn from real-world agricultural performance, not speculation.

 

Farming Meets DeFi: A New Era of Shared Prosperity

For decades, farmers have struggled with limited access to capital, unpredictable yield cycles, and opaque market systems.
AgriFi’s staking and profit distribution architecture changes that by connecting farm output, smart contracts, and DeFi mechanisms on a single transparent ledger.

“Every AGF token represents more than a digital asset; it represents a share in real productivity. AgriFi’s staking model bridges agricultural value creation with transparent, equitable finance,” said Veronica Trump, CMO at AgriFi.

How AgriFi’s Blockchain Staking & Profit Model Works

1. Staking Module: Token holders can lock their AGF tokens for periods ranging from 30 to 360 days, earning competitive yields of 5%–18% APY.
Smart contracts automatically calculate rewards based on staking duration and redistribute them directly to users’ wallets.
An early exit penalty of 2% ensures long-term ecosystem stability and consistent capital flow.

2. Profit Sharing Contract: Beyond staking, AgriFi’s Profit Distribution Module converts farm revenues, such as crop sales and lease income; into stablecoins (e.g., USDC) and allocates them proportionally to AGF holders.
This creates a dual-income structure where investors benefit from both DeFi yield and real-world agricultural profits.

3. Transparency Through Smart Contracts: All staking data, farm yields, and revenue flows are verifiable on the Polygon blockchain, ensuring full traceability from the field to the token holder.

4. Farmer Capital Access: By enabling fractional investment through tokenized farmland, AgriFi allows farmers to raise funds transparently while sharing returns with global stakeholders.

Why It Matters

•       For Farmers: Access to blockchain-based capital with transparent, equitable returns.
•       For Investors: Stable, real-yield income streams tied to agricultural performance.
•       For DeFi: A tangible connection between digital finance and the physical economy.
•       For Ecosystems: Sustainable, data-driven growth verified by IoT and smart contracts.

This initiative reinforces AgriFi’s vision of creating a self-sustaining agricultural economy where blockchain and agriculture converge to support global food security and farmer welfare.

About Agrifi

Agrifi is driving an agricultural revolution, harnessing blockchain technology to transform the agricultural supply chain. Our mission is to enhance transparency, efficiency, and sustainability in agriculture while empowering farmers and supporting small-scale agricultural practices.

Join us on this exciting journey to explore the future of agriculture while potentially enhancing the value of your AGF tokens. We’re not just redefining agricultural finance; we’re revolutionizing the future of farming and food production.
