Gandhi Tribute in Amsterdam Unites Peace Advocates
Gandhi Global Family and the Church of Scientology Netherlands honour Mahatma Gandhi and discuss cooperation on peace, human rights education and youth engagement.
Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 20th Aug 2026 — Representatives of the Gandhi Global Family, the Church of Scientology Netherlands and Dutch and Indian civil society gathered at the Mahatma Gandhi statue on Churchilllaan in Amsterdam for a floral tribute dedicated to peace, non-violence and human dignity.
The commemorative ceremony brought together Mr. Ram Mohan Rai, General Secretary of Gandhi Global Family; Mrs. Krishnakanta Rai; Gerbrig Deinum, human rights activist Community Relations Director of the Church of Scientology Amsterdam; Gandhian and human rights advocate and Board member of the Mahatma Ghandu Statue Foundation Patricia Haveman ; Robert Kruijt, Director of Public Affairs at the Church of Scientology Amsterdam, and young Gandhian and ambassador for United for Human Rights; and members of the Indian and Dutch communities.
Participants reflected on the continuing relevance of Gandhi’s principles of truth, non-violence, satyagraha and compassion at a time of armed conflict, social division and growing intolerance. Speakers emphasised that these principles are not confined to a particular country, culture or historical period, but provide a framework for individuals and communities seeking peaceful responses to injustice.
Rai spoke about Gandhi Global Family’s work to advance Gandhian philosophy, interfaith harmony, human rights and international friendship. He described Gandhi as a figure whose moral legacy belongs to the world and whose example places responsibility not only on governments and institutions, but also on individuals.
In remarks subsequently reported by Punjab Kesari, Rai said Gandhi’s life continues to convey a message of truth, moral courage and service to humanity. He urged people to translate admiration for Gandhi into practical conduct, noting that displaying his image is easier than living by his principles.
Deinum reflected on the historical symbolism of a Gandhi statue standing on an avenue bearing the name of Sir Winston Churchill. Churchill was a determined opponent of Gandhi and famously used the dismissive description “half-naked fakir.” The passage of time, Deinum observed, demonstrated that the moral influence of non-violent action could endure beyond imperial power.
“The location carries a powerful message,” Deinum said. “Gandhi’s ideas were ridiculed by some of the most influential figures of his time, yet his commitment to truth and non-violence helped transform history. His statue on Churchilllaan reminds us that ideas rooted in human dignity can outlive prejudice, hostility and political power.”
Rai later described Deinum as a Gandhian friend encountered in the Netherlands, reflecting the personal relationships that can emerge when people from different national, religious and cultural backgrounds work around shared humanitarian principles.
The bronze monument, created by Dutch sculptor Karel Gomes, depicts Gandhi walking with his staff, glasses and sandals. It was unveiled on 2 October 1990, the anniversary of Gandhi’s birth, following an initiative by the Dutch-Indian organisation Triveda. The design surrounding the statue incorporates interwoven natural stone, symbolising the reconciliation of opposites pursued through Gandhi’s non-violent struggle against racism and oppression.
The date of Gandhi’s birth is now observed by the United Nations as the International Day of Non-Violence, recognising the universal significance of his philosophy and his contribution to a culture of peace, tolerance and understanding.
Patricia Haveman praised Mr. and Mrs. Rai for their sustained dedication to peace and humanity. She described their work as a source of hope for communities and proposed an international Gandhian gathering on 2 October in The Hague and at the Amsterdam statue, with online participation enabling peace advocates from other countries to contribute.
The ceremony also opened discussions about future cooperation in India between Gandhi Global Family and United for Human Rights. Areas under consideration include human rights education, peace awareness and youth engagement grounded in the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and informed by Gandhi’s commitment to non-violent social change.
United for Human Rights produces educational materials explaining the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration in accessible language. The programme is supported by the Church of Scientology and is used by educators, community organisations and human rights advocates of varied religious and cultural backgrounds.
The Church’s support for human rights education is inspired by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, who maintained that spiritual freedom could not be separated from respect for fundamental human rights. He called upon Scientologists to support humanitarian efforts in the field, contributing to the development of educational initiatives intended to make the principles of the Universal Declaration more widely understood.
“The meeting in Amsterdam connected two important traditions of civic responsibility: Gandhi’s insistence that peaceful change begins with personal integrity, and the conviction that human rights must be understood before they can be effectively protected,” said Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s representative to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations. “European societies are strongest when people of different beliefs and backgrounds cooperate around human dignity, freedom of conscience and non-violence. Giving younger generations practical knowledge of their rights is an investment in peace and democratic resilience.”
The participation of the Church of Scientology Amsterdam continued its involvement in local interfaith and humanitarian activities. The Amsterdam Church, established in the city in 1972, works with community organisations and advocates on initiatives concerning education, human rights and social responsibility.
Robert Kruijt brought a youth perspective to the gathering, linking Gandhian thought with contemporary human rights education. Participants agreed that younger generations should encounter Gandhi not simply as a historical figure, but through discussions about how non-violence, moral courage and respect for others can guide responses to present-day discrimination and conflict.
The programme concluded with a collective pledge to carry forward Gandhi’s message of peace, compassion, non-violence and respect for human rights. The floral tribute served both as remembrance and as an expression of continued cooperation between Indian and Dutch participants committed to translating those principles into community action.

Plugsic Releases Nine-Month Performance Audit for “Delta-Zero” Protocol: Audit Records Zero Down Months Across Historical Beta Evaluation
Sovereign Execution platform review observes 0.018 market beta and capital preservation across three consecutive quarters of digital asset volatility.
Plugsic, a financial technology infrastructure provider, today published the independent nine-month performance audit of its proprietary “Delta-Zero” risk management protocol. Deployed across the company’s Sovereign Execution platform in January 2026, historical evaluation data from the protocol observed capital preservation, zero negative months during the evaluation window, and an annualized Sharpe ratio of 3.14 through three quarters of digital asset market volatility.
As macroeconomic uncertainty and digital asset volatility persist throughout 2026, capital preservation remains a core focus for self-directed allocators. Plugsic’s protocol addresses this by systematically targeting the pricing spread (basis) between spot and derivative instruments. By automating real-time counter-hedges millisecond-by-millisecond, the software is engineered to minimize directional price exposure while capturing basis spreads.
Addressing the “Backtest Fallacy”
Traditional quantitative tools frequently suffer from the “backtest fallacy”—algorithmic models that show strong simulated returns but face slippage, funding volatility, and liquidity friction in live environments.
“When we deployed Delta-Zero in January, our objective was to move beyond theoretical models and evaluate automated hedging in production environments,” said Matt Thompson, CFO at Plugsic. “Nine months of live evaluation data demonstrate the mechanics of the architecture. While broader digital asset markets experienced sharp intraday swings, our active users observed zero down months across the test period. Rather than speculating on market direction, Delta-Zero is engineered to capture spreads driven by structural market mechanics.”
Key Performance & Audit Highlights (Observed Period: Q1–Q3 2026):
- Market Neutrality Profile: Delta-Zero maintained an aggregate market beta of |β| < 0.018 relative to benchmark digital asset indices during the audited period, reflecting low directional price correlation.
- Historical Month-over-Month Consistency: Across all nine observed months, the protocol recorded positive net monthly performance after executing continuous, real-time dual-leg counter-hedges.
- Risk-Adjusted Metrics: The platform observed an annualized Sharpe ratio of 3.14 and a Sortino ratio of 4.22 across the evaluation sample.
- Execution Resilience: Plugsic’s millisecond-latency dark pool routing handled multiple market volatility cascades with zero forced liquidations observed across active user accounts.
- Non-Custodial Architecture: 100% of analyzed execution volume occurred non-custodially via secure API and segregated vault rails directly on user-governed accounts, designed to mitigate counterparty commingling risks.
Fiduciary Structure and Capped Capacity
Unlike traditional fund structures that charge ongoing management fees and impose capital lockups, Plugsic’s Sovereign Execution platform utilizes a High-Water Mark framework: 0% annual management fees and T+1 liquidity access, aligning software licensing compensation with net alpha generation.
To preserve execution quality and mitigate potential spread compression from liquidity slippage, Plugsic confirmed that active deployment capacity on the Sovereign Execution platform will remain limited to a capped cohort of 150 private execution nodes.
Availability & Documentation
The complete Nine-Month Quantitative Performance Audit and technical factsheet are available at Plugsic Verified Audit. Platform access requests are processed on a rolling basis subject to node availability.

Guangzhou Lepu Machinery Co., Ltd. highlights its mechanical seal replacement solutions for John Crane, Grundfos, and other pump applications, supporting industrial maintenance requirements with replacement components and application-focused product options.
China, 16th Oct 2026 – Guangzhou Lepu Machinery Co., Ltd., operating under the Lepu Seal name, is highlighting its range of mechanical seal replacement solutions for John Crane, Grundfos, and other pump applications. The company serves industrial equipment users seeking replacement sealing components for pump maintenance, equipment servicing, and ongoing operational requirements.
Mechanical seals are essential components in many pumping systems, helping control fluid leakage where rotating shafts pass through equipment housings. Their condition can affect equipment reliability, maintenance schedules, and the handling of liquids in industrial processes. Selecting a suitable replacement requires attention to the pump model, operating conditions, fluid characteristics, and installation requirements.
Lepu Seal provides mechanical seal products intended for a range of industrial applications, including replacement options associated with established pump and sealing equipment brands. Its product offerings include cartridge mechanical seals and other sealing solutions designed for different equipment configurations.
Replacement Options for John Crane and Grundfos Applications
Industrial facilities frequently need replacement components when mechanical seals experience wear, leakage, or damage during operation. Compatibility is an important consideration because sealing requirements can vary according to equipment design, shaft dimensions, pressure, temperature, and the characteristics of the pumped medium.
Lepu Seal offers replacement solutions for applications associated with John Crane and Grundfos equipment. These options are intended to help maintenance teams and equipment purchasers identify components that correspond to their specific pump requirements.
Before selecting a replacement, buyers typically need to confirm the original seal reference, relevant dimensions, operating parameters, and installation configuration. Providing accurate equipment information can help suppliers assess compatibility and identify an appropriate product option.
The availability of replacement components can also support maintenance planning by giving industrial operators additional sourcing options when servicing existing equipment. Final suitability depends on the specific pump model, process conditions, and technical specifications of the replacement seal.
Cartridge Mechanical Seals and Industrial Pump Components
Cartridge mechanical seals are commonly used in industrial pumping applications because their assembled design can simplify certain installation and maintenance procedures compared with component-by-component seal arrangements. Depending on the equipment and application, cartridge designs may help reduce installation complexity and support consistent seal positioning.
Lepu Seal lists cartridge mechanical seals among its product offerings, including the LP 891 cartridge mechanical seal for paper-making equipment. The company also lists dry gas seal products and components associated with various pump configurations.
Its product listings extend to equipment associated with progressive cavity pumps, screw pumps, and other industrial pumping systems. Examples include products referencing SEEPEX, NETZSCH, VIKING PUMP, and BORNEMANN equipment.
These listings indicate the range of pump-related components presented in the company’s catalog. Specific availability, compatibility, materials, and performance characteristics should be confirmed directly with the supplier for each application.
Supporting Industrial Maintenance and Equipment Sourcing
Replacement mechanical seals play an important role in planned maintenance and equipment servicing across industries that rely on fluid-handling systems. Maintenance teams must consider factors such as leakage control, equipment specifications, installation conditions, and the properties of the fluid being handled when evaluating replacement components.
For purchasing teams, access to product information and direct communication with suppliers can help clarify technical requirements before an order is placed. Confirming the equipment model and original component details is particularly important when sourcing alternatives for existing pump installations.
Lepu Seal provides product information through its website, where prospective customers can review available categories and submit inquiries about particular components. The company can be contacted to discuss replacement requirements for John Crane, Grundfos, and other pump applications.

NemoVideo Publishes Kling 4.0 Workflow Guide for Turning 30-Second AI Clips Into Finished Videos
The guide shows creators how footage from Kling 4.0, Kuaishou’s newest video foundation model, becomes publish-ready social video with NemoVideo’s AI editing agent.
SAN JOSE, Calif., October 15, 2026 — NemoVideo , the Pro AI video editing agent for creators and marketers, today published a Kling 4.0 workflow guide as Kuaishou’s Kling AI rolls out Kling 4.0, its newest video foundation model. The guide explains how upgrades at the model layer carry through to creators’ finished videos, and how to turn Kling 4.0 clips into publish-ready content in NemoVideo.
Kling 4.0 extends single-pass generation to up to 30 seconds, double the 15-second ceiling of Kling 3.0. The model also supports up to 10 keyframes, up to 15 combined references across images, video clips and subjects, prompts of up to 8,000 tokens and output up to 4K.
How Kling 4.0 Upgrades Carry Through to the Final Video
Foundation models such as Kling 4.0 generate the raw footage. Application-layer tools such as NemoVideo turn that footage into videos creators can publish, and each model upgrade gives that layer better material to work with.
A 30-second generation gives creators more footage to cut from, so a single take can become several short edits with different openings. Keyframe and multi-reference control helps keep characters and products consistent across clips, making separate generations easier to cut into one sequence. 4K output leaves more room to reframe footage for vertical platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
A longer, sharper clip is still raw footage. NemoVideo is built for the next step. It works with footage from Kling 4.0 or any other AI video model, including Veo and Seedance, and carries it to a finished video through a chat-based editing agent:
- Turn a batch of generated takes into a rough cut with SmartPick, which removes weak clips and keeps the highlights
- Plan the opening seconds with Inspiration Center, which analyzes trending videos and suggests hooks and scripts
- Add trending caption styles in one click with Smart Caption, and voiceover and background music with SmartAudio
- Ask Nemo Agent in plain language to reorder shots, tighten pacing or change the aspect ratio, then export a version for each platform
“Foundation models like Kling 4.0 keep raising what creators can generate,” said Jin Lee, Founder at NemoVideo. “Our job at the application layer is to make sure each of those upgrades shows up in the final cut, with the right opening, the right pace, captions and a version for every platform. The model decides what you can generate. The workflow decides what you can ship.”
Availability
The Kling 4.0 workflow guide is available now at https://www.nemovideo.com/model, alongside NemoVideo’s guides to other AI video models. Creators can start editing for free at nemovideo.com.
