Sri Lankan Community Joins Intercultural Values Event at Church of Scientology in Milan
A gathering in Milan highlighted dialogue, youth participation and shared ethical principles through The Way to Happiness, the common-sense moral code written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 11th Jun 2026 — The Church of Scientology in Milan recently hosted members of the Sri Lankan community for an intercultural event focused on dialogue, integration and the practical values contained in The Way to Happiness, the non-religious moral code written by L. Ron Hubbard.
The meeting brought together community representatives, families, young people and volunteers for a day centred on peaceful coexistence, respect and shared responsibility. Organisers described the event as an opportunity to strengthen ties among communities living in Milan and to offer younger generations a simple framework for reflecting on personal conduct, everyday choices and mutual respect.
The participation of the Sri Lankan community gave the gathering a warm and family-oriented character. A central feature of the event was the presence of young people, whom community leaders encouraged to attend so they could become familiar with the 21 precepts of The Way to Happiness at an early age. Discussions focused on how values such as honesty, care for children, responsibility, trustworthiness and respect for the religious beliefs of others can contribute to social harmony in a multicultural city.
Milan, one of Europe’s major urban and economic centres, is home to communities from across Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America. In that context, local initiatives that encourage dialogue and mutual understanding have particular relevance. The event offered a setting in which adults and young people could speak about integration not as an abstract policy concept, but as a daily practice shaped by ordinary decisions, respectful communication and the willingness to understand one another.
Representatives of the Sri Lankan community underlined the importance of giving young people stable reference points in a period marked by social pressure, digital distraction and uncertainty about the future. The booklet’s 21 principles were presented as a practical ethical compass that can help individuals make decisions grounded in respect for themselves and for others.
Among the precepts discussed were “Set a good example,” “Be worthy of trust,” “Fulfil your obligations,” “Respect the religious beliefs of others,” and “Try to treat others as you would want them to treat you.” Participants noted that these ideas are easily understood across cultural and religious backgrounds because they address basic standards of conduct needed in family life, school, work and community relations.
First published in 1981, The Way to Happiness is presented as a common-sense guide to better living, consisting of 21 basic principles applicable to people regardless of race, culture or creed. Its non-religious character has made it suitable for use in civic, educational and community settings, including interfaith and intercultural environments.
The text has been widely distributed internationally and has been recognised in connection with its broad translation record. Its central purpose is to encourage personal responsibility and social trust through simple principles that can be applied in daily life. For communities navigating cultural adaptation, generational differences and the challenges of urban life, participants at the Milan event saw the booklet as a useful basis for conversation.
The Church of Scientology’s connection to the initiative is both institutional and historical. While the booklet is non-religious in content, it was authored by L. Ron Hubbard and is widely supported by Scientology churches, missions and volunteers as part of their social betterment work. In Milan, the event provided a practical example of how such materials can be used to bring communities together around values that do not require theological agreement.
Ivan Arjona, the Church of Scientology’s representative to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, said the Milan event reflected a form of civic cooperation that is especially relevant in today’s Europe.
“Europe’s strength is not only found in its institutions, but also in the daily efforts of families, communities and volunteers who build trust across cultures,” said Arjona. “When young people are introduced to principles such as respect, honesty, responsibility and care for others, they are better equipped to contribute to peaceful coexistence. Initiatives like this one in Milan show how shared values can become a bridge between communities while fully respecting religious and cultural diversity.”
The participation of young people was one of the most significant elements of the event. Organisers and community representatives emphasised that integration is most durable when it includes the next generation, helping young people feel both connected to their heritage and confident in their role as active members of the wider society in which they live.
For many families, the gathering also offered a moment of recognition: a space where cultural identity, community belonging and civic responsibility could be discussed together. Rather than presenting integration as the loss of one’s roots, the event framed it as a process of mutual respect, contribution and shared ethical understanding.
The Church of Scientology in Milan has hosted a range of community and social betterment activities over the years, including initiatives connected to drug prevention, volunteer service, interreligious dialogue and values education. The meeting with the Sri Lankan community added to this local pattern of opening spaces for dialogue with civil society groups and communities present in the city.
Participants left the event with a shared message: peaceful coexistence is strengthened not only through public institutions, but also through families, community leaders and young people who choose respect in ordinary life. In that sense, the Milan gathering served as a meaningful example of how universal values can help build understanding across different cultures.
The Church of Scientology, its churches, missions, groups and members are present across the European continent. Scientology Europe reports a continent-wide presence through more than 140 churches, missions and affiliated groups in at least 27 European nations, alongside thousands of community-based social betterment and reform initiatives focused on education, prevention and neighbourhood-level support, inspired by the work of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
Within Europe’s diverse national frameworks for religion, the Church’s recognitions continue to expand, with administrative and judicial authorities in Spain, Portugal, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany Slovakia and others, as well as the European Court of Human Rights, having addressed and acknowledged Scientology communities as protected by the national and international provisions of Freedom of Religion or belief.

London, United Kingdom, July 27th, 2026, Chainwire
SCANDIC COIN (SNC) demands an immediate explanation from BitMart. According to SNC, a withdrawal request submitted on 26 July 2026 at 09:10:03 German time remained marked as “Processing” for more than 35 hours. At publication, 22,000 USDT and nearly 930,000 SNC had still not reached the designated wallets.
SCANDIC COIN states that timestamped screenshots document the balances, withdrawal request, amounts, date, time and continuing status. The assets are not BitMart’s property. According to SNC, they belong exclusively to its operating company, are not BitMart funds and are not locked in active trading positions.
BitMart has announced the wind-down of its trading-platform operations. In that context, a prolonged failure to release substantial company-owned assets — without a case-specific reason or reliable deadline — is unacceptable. An exchange instructing users to withdraw must demonstrate that withdrawals can actually be honoured.
The unavoidable question is: Is this a technical or compliance-related delay, or does BitMart lack sufficient liquidity, financial resources or operational capacity to honour withdrawals promptly and in full?
SCANDIC COIN is not asserting insolvency as a proven fact. But after more than 35 hours without payment or a satisfactory explanation, BitMart must dispel that concern immediately with verifiable facts.
BitMart Must Answer Immediately:
- Why is the withdrawal still marked “Processing”?
- Is a compliance, security or risk review pending, and are further documents required?
- When exactly will the 22,000 USDT and nearly 930,000 SNC be released?
- Does BitMart have sufficient liquid assets to honour all legitimate withdrawals in full?
Immediate Release or Escalation
SCANDIC COIN demands immediate release of the assets or a detailed written explanation identifying the precise legal, compliance, technical or security reason and a binding completion time. If BitMart fails to act, SNC will preserve the screenshots and account records and pursue all available legal and regulatory remedies.

Miami, United States, July 27th, 2026, FinanceWire
Is there another China trade coming? One contrarian answer in finance says yes, and it has nothing to do with stocks, supply chains, or tariffs. It is patents.
SIM IP, the Miami-based intellectual property investment firm led by Erich Spangenberg, has spent the past fifteen months buying patent portfolios at a pace its industry rarely sees. People close to the firm describe a deliberate focus on patents sourced from Chinese technology companies, in the areas where European patent enforcement now bites hardest. The firm operates as a principal, buying with its own capital rather than earning fees on other people’s money. Together, the purchases look less like a licensing business and more like a directional trade.
The Asset Class Institutional Money Found Late
For most of its existence, IP monetization was a specialist’s corner of finance, thinly capitalized. That has changed. By estimates one firm cites, dedicated institutional capital in the space has grown from roughly $5 billion in 2010 to more than $50 billion today. Fortress Investment Group manages approximately $5 billion in its intellectual property strategy. InterDigital, a publicly traded licensing business, and its peer public licensing companies, like Rambus, today have a combined market cap of over $28 billioni.
Only a handful of these players operate as principals at scale, and SIM IP has built its position under one of the field’s most recognized names. Spangenberg, a former Jones Day lawyer and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette banker, has acted as a principal in more than $1 billion of IP licensing transactions and over $1.5 billion of IP financing deals, plus an advisory record above $2 billion. He is sought out by patent owners who share returns with him and, by the firm’s own telling, quietly feared by the technology companies that end up across the table.
Eleven Deals in Fifteen Months
The cadence is the tell. SIM IP has closed 11 patent transactions over the 15 months to May 2026, by its own count. The firm reckons a significant patent acquisition typically takes 6 months or more to close; its dated announcements show deals landing roughly every 45 days. The most recent, announced on May 19, 2026, took 126 curated video coding patents off Alibaba’s hands, covering the AV1 and AV2 standards that sit underneath streaming platforms and AI data center workloads.
China sourcing is not opportunistic. Government records show Spangenberg kept an office in Shanghai’s Jin Mao Tower as early as 2004, years before most Western IP investors treated China as a source of world-class portfolios. Those relationships, with IP executives, researchers, and officials, are, by the company’s account, its supply line today. Sources familiar with the firm’s strategy say the buying is concentrated in data center infrastructure, foldable display technology, and next-generation communications.
A Digital Twin and a European Lever
Two pieces turn a stack of portfolios into a position. The first is Garden Intel, the applied AI company SIM IP acquired for $150 million in February 2026. The reaction the firm says it heard at the time was that the price was too high, and that general-purpose models would soon replicate Garden’s analytics for free. Spangenberg’s answer was blunt: “Not without 20+ years of proprietary transaction data generated personally across 1,600+ deals done privately, data that no foundation model has ever seen and no competitor can replicate,” said Spangenberg, co-founder and chief executive officer of SIM IP. The firm says it is now running Garden’s engine across that private deal history to build what it calls a digital twin of Spangenberg’s judgment, so his pattern recognition operates across the firm rather than in one man.
The second piece is Europe. The Unified Patent Court, now operational across 18 EU member states, allows a patent holder to win a single injunction blocking sales in all of them simultaneously, from Germany and France to the Netherlands and Italy. Under the old country-by-country system, a manufacturer could fight and lose piecemeal. Under the UPC, one loss can shut off most of the European market at once. The technology areas where sources say SIM IP is buying are the same areas where hyperscalers, cloud companies and consumer electronics manufacturers carry their heaviest European exposure.
Contrarian trades are judged in hindsight, and this one has plenty to prove. The structure, though, is already visible: an asset class filling with institutional money, a principal deploying his own capital with a two-decade head start in the market supplying the assets, an AI system trained on data nobody else holds, and a European court that has turned patents into market access. Whether or not the China IP Trade ends up beside the famous macro bets, SIM IP has already made it a position rather than a thesis.

Recognition highlights two decades of excellence in international inheritance, arbitration, and commercial law.
Switzerland, 27th Jul 2026 – In today’s complex legal and financial landscape, where international borders blur and regulations grow increasingly intricate, certainty is the most valuable asset. At the critical crossroads of life and business, whether navigating high-stakes commercial disputes or securing the generational transfer of family wealth conventional legal advice is simply not enough. Clients require a clear compass, unquestionable authority, and profound human understanding. They need a sanctuary of stability.
The recent institutional recognition awarded to Evalaw exemplifies these exact qualities. In an official and prestigious announcement, the legal community of the Canton of Lucerne has awarded Rechtsanwältin Eva Soldati-Schnyder and her team the esteemed title of “Law Firm of the Year 2026.”
This accolade is more than a professional commendation; it is a definitive seal of quality, representing two decades of meticulous Swiss practice, uncompromising strategy, and outstanding achievements in managing high-risk arbitration and some of the most complex cross-border succession cases in Central Switzerland.
Two Decades of Precision: Where Technical Mastery Meets Strategic Vision
Since her admission to the Bar in 2006 (Anwaltskammer Luzern), Eva Soldati-Schnyder has relentlessly built Evalaw into more than just a law practice, it has become an institution synonymous with Swiss prestige, absolute discretion, and unwavering reliability.
Today, the firm is the destination of choice for international clients seeking to bridge the gap between traditional Swiss legal rigor and modern, agile, client-centric solutions. Evalaw’s success lies in its unique ability to deconstruct highly complex, emotionally or commercially charged situations into rational components. We build a clear, step-by-step strategy that neutralizes uncertainty and restores absolute control to our clients’ hands.
The Pillars of the Firm: Leadership in a World of Uncertainty
The “Law Firm of the Year” award specifically highlights Evalaw’s exceptional command over three core legal domains, where the firm is recognized as a supreme professional authority:
1. International Inheritance & Estate Planning (Protecting Your Legacy)
The transfer of wealth, assets, and a life’s work across generations requires far more than technical proficiency in tax or contract law; it demands vision, sensitivity, and foresight. In a globalized world where family assets often span multiple continents and conflicting legal jurisdictions, Evalaw provides an airtight legal architecture.
Our team skillfully navigates Swiss and international private law to preserve the client’s legacy, prevent future disputes, and protect the family from unforeseen exposure. Every trust, will, and estate plan is crafted with surgical precision, honoring the client’s vision with absolute fidelity.
2. High-Stakes Arbitration & Corporate Law (Strategic Dispute Resolution)
In the modern corporate arena, disputes threaten not only the bottom line but the very existence and reputation of an enterprise. For our corporate clients, entering arbitration requires uncompromising, fierce representation.
Evalaw provides a powerful shield during commercial crises. We represent leading corporations and entities in complex arbitration, cross-border transactions, and struggles for corporate control. Our approach is aggressively protective of our clients’ rights, yet remarkably clear and analytical in the tribunal. We are guided by one singular objective: to swiftly restore business stability and successfully resolve the crisis while maintaining total corporate confidentiality.
3. Matrimonial Law & Wealth Crises (Navigating the Personal with Strength)
The dissolution of a family unit or personal disputes involving significant wealth and public standing are deeply fragile events, carrying both heavy emotional burdens and severe financial risks. In these vulnerable moments, clients often find themselves at a disadvantage.
Our firm offers a discreet, strong, and highly supportive safety net. We utilize deep psychological insight to filter out emotional noise, presenting the client with the full picture free of judgment. We neutralize emotional paralysis, empowering our clients to act from a position of strength, make highly rational decisions, and navigate safely out of the storm toward a secure, protected future.
A Vision of Perfection: Excellence as the Only Standard
“This title is a profound honor, but for us at Evalaw, it serves primarily as a living reminder of the immense responsibility we carry every single day,” stated Eva Soldati-Schnyder following the announcement. “When a client walks through our doors, they are entrusting us with more than legal paperwork; they are handing us their future, their financial security, and often, the peace of mind of their family for generations to come.To represent individuals and corporations with the absolute precision required to meet the strict standards of the Canton of Lucerne and Switzerland is a calling that allows for zero compromises. Excellence, for us, is not a future aspiration; it is the only standard we accept in the present. This award is dedicated to our clients, the families and corporations who chose us as their legal shield, trusting that we will never settle for anything less than perfection on their behalf.”
