Editor’s Note:

In recent years, natural disasters such as drought and waterlogging occur frequently. Climate warming has triggered various disasters that affect existence, which has brought unprecedented challenges to grain production, ecological environment and world peace maintenance. “Fen long” technology, the new method of farming invented by Wei Benhui, the Chinese inventor, can help to solve these problems in the world to a certain extent and make the human future better by multiple using “5 kinds of resources”, soil and its cubic natural rainfall, oxygen, temperature, humidity and solar energy.

In August 2021, the yield of highland barley in the saline-alkali soil, which was transformed by “smash-ridging” technology in Zangzhong Village, Zhaqi Town, Zhanang County, Shannan City, Tibet, China, the roof of the world, increased by 38.67%. The highland barley yield of smash ridging sand soil farmland in Kemai Community, Changzhu Township, Naidong District, increased by 1121.73 kg, with 25.43% of increase range, and the straw yield also increased by more than 20%. Peng Xinhua, the researcher of Nanjing Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences has implemented smash-ridging sweet potato experiment in Jiangxi Province, and the result was that the yield increased by 89% to 117%. The maximum production increase of wheat of heavy coast saline-alkali soil in Dongying City, Shandong Province was 154.22% after being transformed by “smash-ridging” technology. The production increase of cotton of heavy saline-alkali soil in Yuli County, Xinjiang Autonomous Region was yet 81.17% in the fourth year after being transformed by “smash-ridging” technology. Over the past decade, “smash-ridging” technology was applied to nearly 50 kinds of crops such as rice, corn and wheat in 28 provinces such as Guangxi and Xinjiang, and no more rich water, pesticide or other production costs was required while the production increase was generally 10% to 50%, the quality was improved by 5% and the increase production in saline-alkali soil was 20% to 100% after transformation. Experts estimated that, the natural disaster such as waterlogging, drought, high temperature and low temperature may be reduced by more than 20%, and soil environment improvement,and crop biomass increase will reduce carbon by more than 10% and increase  ground air humidity by 10%.

Invented by Wei Benhui from Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, “smash-ridging” technology is a major new method of farming, which can realize a new round of production increase, quality improvement, water conservation, disaster reduction, carbon reduction and sustainable development of agriculture and contribute to widen the space of human existence and development.

In March 2021, “smash-ridging” technology was shown on the world’s No. 1 screen in Times Square, which stated that the smash ridging agricultural machinery and smash ridging farming that would not mess the soil layers for ultra deep ploughing had broken through worldwide problems such as “physical” production increase of agriculture and physical transformation of saline-alkali soil. “Smash-ridging” technology which has shocked the world is common technology, common welfare and common wealth of all mankind.

The advert of “smash-ridging” technology marks that the world has ushered in a very rare new agricultural revolution. The technology is simple, widely applied and sustainable for hundreds of years. It has realized increase of grain production and decrease of disaster to benefit human being.

1. Creating subversive fifth farming mode, which is worldwide used

“Smash-ridging” technology is named after vertical burying, high-speed rotary-cut smash soil, ridge and suspend by using spiral, hollow and other “drill” farming tools invented by Wei Benhui, instead of the “plow” which has been used for 5,500 years. “Smash-ridging” technology has become the fifth efficient farming mode after slash-and-burn cultivation, man power, animal power and tractor ploughing in the history of human farming. “Smash-ridging” technology structured “smash-ridging agriculture” technology system that matches smash-ridging agricultural machinery, smash-ridging farming and smash-ridging cultivation and overturned traditional farming way and agricultural production technical philosophy by using the scientific concept of “ultra deep ploughing and deep loosening the soil without messing the soil layers”. The worldwide universal technology expands the space for human existence and development, and its scientific connotation and characteristics are as below:

First of all, fully excavate natural resource utilization that the earth feeds human being. With 5 kinds of natural resources, soil, the grain producer which the mankind survives on, natural rainfall, oxygen, temperature and humidity and solar energy, once more multiple positive utilization can be realized on the basis of existent farming and agricultural utilization to promote a new round of agricultural production increase, quality improvement, water conservation, disaster reduction, carbon drop and sustainable development.

Secondly, trigger deepening utilization of the surface soil of earth with a light force. Loosened soil increases several times over., and most of soil is granular, and granular structure surface is smooth. Unit weight decreases by 10% to 20%, and available nutrient increases by 10% to 30%. Basic fertility improves by 10% to 30%, and applying quantity of chemical fertilizer for planting crop can reduce by more than 10%.

Thirdly, create cultivated land reservoir with loosened soil and expanded volume. Natural rainfall reserves approximately double, which provides conditions for human being to utilize rainwater and snow water again. Soil porosity enlarges approximately and oxygen increase approximately by one time. Soil microbial community and quantity increase by almost multiple times.

Fourthly, create soil ecological environment that is suitable for crop growth. Smash ridging cultivation requires soil ecological environment with balanced water, fertilizer, gas and heat. The crop takes roots in the earlier stage, strengthens in the medium stage and becomes powerful in the later stage. It features production increase and quality improvement with resistant to drought, high and low temperature. The root system is particularly developed with fibrous root increasing and activity strengthening. The photosynthetic efficiency improves by 10% to 30%, and the stress resistance such as drought and high and low temperature improves by approximately 20%, while  biomass increases by 20% to 30%.

Fifthly, create suitable environment for crops based on ecological conditions in which high agricultural yield is still available and consumption of agricultural “chemicals” is achievable even the consumption of fertilizer and pesticide can be reduced by more than 10% and some plastic mulch can be reduced. Some of polluted soil can be “purified itself”. For example, reduction of heavy metal pollution (reduction of cadmium content of rice) is a physical effect that other chemical means can hardly match.

Sixthly, realize no ecological area or crop variety limit. Almost all crops and some traditional Chinese medicinal materials in rice field, dry land and even saline-alkali soil can be applied to from Hainan Province at low latitude (18°N) to Xinjiang and Heilongjiang at high latitude (45° to 50°N), from Beihai of Guangxi at low altitude (10 to 15 metres) to Shigatse of Tibet at high altitude (over 4,000 metres), which indicates that there is no obvious limit on ecological area or crop variety, and it can be generally used in the world.

2. Application in China’s cultivated land and saline-alkali soil in 2021, with outstanding results

Test on smash ridging has been implemented in many places of China, and the result showed that comparing with traditional cultivation, the yield of rice increased by 15.5%, that of corn increased by 12.26%, and that of peanut increased by 8.05% with no fertilization.

“Smash ridging” technology has been applied to 50 kinds of crops such as rice, corn, wheat and potato in 28 provinces all over China for more than a decade, and production increase achieved 10% to 50%, and production increase in saline-alkali soil after being transformed achieved 20% to 100% with no increasing fertilization or irrigation volume. There are many cases of production increase in various places. In Yuanjiang City of Hunan Province, yield of smash ridging rice increased by 26.5% in that year, and it still increased by 12% in the fourth year after the first smash ridging cultivation. The yield of smash ridging wheat in Fuping, Shaanxi Province increased by 29.9%, and that of the second crop of corn increased by 34.89%. The average production increase of rained farming sugarcane was 32.5%.

In 2021, the cases of production increase with “smash-ridging” technology occurred frequently, and the results are outstanding.

Firstly, rice production continuously increases with “smash-ridging” technology. Yaoguao Town, Longhui County, Hunan Province used to be the breakthrough point where Academician Yuan Longping’s hybrid rice yields reached 900 kg per mu. In April 2014, “smash-ridging” cultivation was implemented, and the yield of hybrid rice increased by 25% in that year. It has been the 8th year since “smash ridging” technology was implemented, but the yield of hybrid rice is expected to increase by 10% or so. The yield of second crop of rice after rice smash ridging was implemented in Yongan Village, Shifu Town, Nanning City, Guangxi Autonomous Region increased by 9.5%.

Secondly, smash ridging water conservation and continuous high yield lasted for many years. In 2021, the third year after “smash-ridging” technology was implemented in Yanshan, Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, the yield of wheat with water conservation increased by 18% with irrigation reduction by nearly 2,000 cubic metres per hectare. In 2021, the sixth year after “smash-ridging” technology was implemented in Fanjiazhai Village, Guyang Town, Lankao County, Henan Province, the yield of wheat increased by 10.3%.

Thirdly, “smash-ridging” agriculture and saline alkali soil transformation in highland region. As previous statement, the yield of highland barley of saline alkali soil in Tibet, the roof of the world, increased by 38.67%, that of highland barley of sand soil cultivated land with “smash-ridging” technology increased by 25.43%, that of highland barley straw increased by more than 20%, which can effectively solve the problem of lack of grain and feed in Tibet.

Fourthly, the history of high yield of sugarcane in a large area with “smash-ridging” technology was made. “Smash-ridging” technology “145” demonstration base for planting sugarcane was built in Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences. On March 6, 2021, upon experts’ acceptance, it increased by 38.3% than conventional cultivation. “Smash-ridging” technology “145” demonstration in Binyang of Guangxi, is expected to make history of green ecological high yield of sugarcane in a large area with entire mechanization to bring a sample for China’s and the world’s sugarcane planting technology.

3. Increasing grain yield and decreasing disaster by conforming to the nature, and all the mankind getting a better future

The best living quality and survival and development environment with abundant and tasteful food, fresh air and visible blue sky and cloud are mankind’s good wishes.

The earth is endowed with 5 kinds of inexhaustible natural resources, soil and its stereoscopic spatial natural rainfall, oxygen, temperature and humidity and solar energy. Soil is the “producer” of grain and other agricultural products the human being survives on and the “regulator” of natural environment to relieve drought, waterlogging and other natural disasters. In order to realize the above dreams, human being has to profoundly comprehend and properly utilize the “5 kinds of natural resources”, which is the fundamental obedience to the rules of resource utilization for mankind’s survival. For a country, the more proper utilization rate of “the 5 kinds of natural resources” of the stereoscopic space, the more secure grain and ecology in the country, the more fortunate of national life, which is also in this way for all the world and all the mankind.

The core of “smash-ridging” technology is to multiply sound utilization of the above “5 kinds of natural resources”. Its pioneering scientific contribution is based on the principle of “ultra deep cultivation and deep loosening (by utilizing the soil resources of plough sole which human being has not utilized yet), loosening soil at original site, granular soil, once off completion of soil preparation., and no tillage or light tillage for conservation tillage for years”. Meanwhile, “smash-ridging” technology is almost applied to various land resources including cultivated land and saline alkali soil so that agricultural available resources have expanded substantially. Furthermore, yield increase can be maintained with properly reducing fertilization. Additionally, it is easy to popularize and apply, and it is merely to replace tractor “plough” cultivation with smash ridging “drill”. Rice field is 25 cm deep, and dry land is 35 cm deep, and saline alkali soil is 40 cm deep. Expected effect is achievable with no excessive input or technical instruction required.

Wei Benhui said that invention of spiral and hollow “drill” tillage implements would certainly bring a major change of tillage implements and modernization of series products of smash ridging agricultural machinery equipment. The world will usher in great new times of “smash-ridging agriculture”.

According to expert’s estimates, if 1 billion mu of farmland and 300 million saline alkali land are cultivated in China, 130 billion kg of grain can be increased every year and 300 to 400 million more people can be fed. If land “smash-ridging” technology is implemented in 50% of farmland in the world, yield of grain can be increased and more people can be fed.

With “smash-ridging” technology, 40 to 50 cubic metres of natural rainfall reserve can be increased for cultivated land per mu, and drought, waterlogging and other disasters can be reduced. Recently, heavy waterlogging occurred in Henan Province. Because light tillage is carried out in most of cultivate land (most of loosened soil of plough layer is 12 to 15 cm), the soil of button layer is compacted and moves upward due to rolling by tractor wheels for years. Adding the road extension and ground hardening in the villages, there is no more place for water reservation. If “smash ridging” technology is implemented in half of cultivated land, such affect of rainstorm can be reduced greatly. Also, with improving smash ridging soil environment and significant increasing crop biomass, the goals including carbon reduction, peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutralization can be achieved early, and global warming can be relived greatly.

“Smash-ridging agriculture” and its entire production technology system invented and created by Wei Benhui have surpassed the existent agricultural production mode and have been affirmed and supported by Yuan Longping and other more than 10 Chinese academicians. The technology system has been practiced to almost all crop varieties from low latitude to high latitude and from low altitude to high altitude. It can be popularized globally and is expected to be a new mainstream technology in the world to lead the trend of agricultural cultivation development. The future will be better for all mankind.

Dubai, UAE, July 2nd, 2026, FinanceWire

The established proprietary trading firm is bringing its funded trading programmes to UK traders, combining transparent evaluation models with up to $2 million in simulated funding.

PineX Capital, one of the fastest-growing proprietary trading firms for German traders, has officially expanded its offering to the UK as it continues its international growth strategy.

Having built a strong reputation across the German-speaking trading community, PineX Capital is now making its funded trading programmes available to UK traders, giving them access to evaluation accounts, instant funding options and scaling opportunities of up to $2 million in simulated capital.

The move comes as demand for proprietary trading continues to grow globally, with more traders choosing funded account programmes as an alternative to risking significant personal capital. The sector has expanded rapidly in recent years as traders seek access to larger account sizes, competitive profit splits and performance-based scaling opportunities.

Unlike traditional retail trading accounts, proprietary trading firms allow traders to demonstrate their ability through structured evaluation programmes before gaining access to larger pools of capital. Successful traders can then earn a share of the profits they generate while trading within clearly defined risk parameters.

PineX Capital has differentiated itself through a trader-first approach, offering features including:

  • Funding opportunities of up to $2 million
  • Profit splits of up to 100%
  • Multiple evaluation models, including instant funding and two-step challenges
  • Transparent trading rules with no hidden fees
  • Scaling plans designed to reward consistent performance
  • Withdrawals available every 14 days

The UK has long been recognised as one of the world’s most active retail trading markets, making it a natural next step in PineX Capital’s international expansion.

Arlind I., CEO of PineX Capital said: “Germany has been an important market for us, but we’ve seen growing demand from traders across the UK who want access to transparent funded trading opportunities. Our goal has always been to build a prop firm that rewards consistency, removes unnecessary complexity and gives talented traders the opportunity to scale.”

The company says its focus remains on creating fair evaluation conditions while continuing to invest in technology, trader support and platform improvements.

The expansion also reflects the wider maturity of the proprietary trading industry, with traders placing increasing importance on transparency, payout reliability and clearly defined trading rules when choosing a prop firm. Industry analysts suggest these factors are now among the biggest drivers when comparing funded trading providers.

As PineX Capital establishes its presence in the UK, the company plans to continue developing its offering with additional account models, educational resources and trader-focused features over the coming months.

Scientology Volunteers provide needed humanitarian help after natural disasters in Venezuela

Published

By

Nearly 400 Volunteer Ministers have been mobilised between Caracas and La Guaira, with supplies, rescue coordination, emotional assistance and international support reaching families affected by recent natural disasters.

Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 2nd Jul 2026 — In the wake of recent natural disasters that have struck several areas of Venezuela, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers have mounted one of their largest humanitarian operations in the country, working in coordination with the Church of Scientology International, the Church of Scientology of Caracas, the Church of Scientology of Valencia, private-sector allies, national rescue groups and international emergency teams.

The operation is running around the clock and includes humanitarian assistance, logistical coordination, emotional and spiritual support, donation management, supply distribution and support for rescue teams working in the most affected zones. According to those involved in the response, the immediate priorities have included Caracas and La Guaira, while assistance has also reached other affected areas, including Morón and Tucacas.

Rhaiza Ojeda, Director of Scientology in Venezuela, said that the response has required continuous coordination between volunteers, donors, rescue personnel and families waiting for news of loved ones.

“We have received approximately 20 tons, including clothing, shoes, food, hygiene items, medicine, utensils for children, mats, safety boots for rescuers, headlamps for rescuers, picks, shovels, brooms and many other things,” Ojeda said in remarks from the relief operation. She added that much of what had arrived had already been distributed to those in need.

Ojeda said that the humanitarian teams are also identifying continuing needs, including infant formula, milk for older children, adult diapers for elderly people, and technical support for damaged structures and affected communities. “We have received supplies, but we have distributed almost all of them,” she said. “We are mainly supporting Caracas and La Guaira, because we consider them to be the two areas of greatest risk and greatest need.”

A major component of the operation has been cooperation with the Topos rescue organisation of Mexico, an internationally known search-and-rescue organisation with extensive experience in disaster zones. With logistical backing and field coordination from Scientology Volunteer Ministers, specialised rescue personnel have been supporting evaluation, rescue and technical assistance in the areas most affected by the disaster.

The Volunteer Ministers have also helped coordinate transport and movement of specialised personnel, supplies and humanitarian aid into affected zones, including support for rescuers, medical personnel, engineers and infrastructure specialists working to save lives and restore essential services.

Venezuelan actress and humanitarian Ruddy Rodríguez, who has been assisting and communicating from the relief effort, stressed that the response is not a brief appearance but a sustained commitment to families still facing uncertainty.

“I speak as a human being, not as an actress,” Rodríguez said. “I feel that at this moment Venezuela needs hopeful information. We must not discard or close the hope of life, because there is still life.”

She added that rescue and relief teams must continue to act with urgency. “Under that rubble, under all that earth, there are still people breathing, still people asking for help,” she said. “This is the beginning. This is not something to stay for a little while and then leave.”

According to Rodríguez, at the time of her remarks there were “almost 400 Volunteer Ministers divided between Caracas and La Guaira,” with additional volunteers and support expected from other countries. She noted that Volunteer Ministers and supporters had arrived from many countries, including Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil, the United States, Israel, Spain and others, with Mexican rescue teams also joining the effort. “Disaster unites us,” she said. “We all go to one place.”

The response has also extended beyond Latin America. European Scientologists have rallied to send assistance to Venezuela, and several volunteers from Spain have already joined the humanitarian forces on the ground, travelling to Venezuela to serve as Volunteer Ministers. Organisers said the international mobilisation reflects the broader Volunteer Ministers principle that, in the face of human suffering, practical help and human solidarity must move quickly.

In an interview with Noticias Ecovisión, Rodríguez described the emotional purpose of the relief effort as well as its logistical one.

“I think the most important thing right now, as any volunteer group, is to help strengthen, to rehabilitate hope, to rehabilitate the greatness, to truly rehabilitate all that is good and great in Venezuelans so we can keep going,” she said. “This is truly a very hard moment for all Venezuela, and I feel great pride in the love of Venezuelans for Venezuelans, and for the foreign countries that have had the opportunity to lend us their support, their rescue workers, their rescue dogs. Truly, thank you. I believe every Venezuelan feels truly grateful for that support.”

Rodríguez also emphasised that the work is open in spirit and purpose, focused on service rather than affiliation. “This is a long process. This is only beginning,” she said. “Those who want to be trained to help others, here in Valencia, and also in Caracas, we can train them so they can be Scientology Volunteer Ministers without needing to be Scientologists. There is no race here, no colour, no specific religion. We all work for one common purpose: to continue bringing well-being and helping the people of Venezuela, our people, who need it so much at this moment.”

Beyond material aid, Volunteer Ministers have been providing emotional support to survivors and to families waiting for information about missing relatives. Ojeda described lines of relatives seeking news and support near the centres of assistance.

“There is always a cordon of relatives eager to know what happened to their families,” Ojeda said. “We also attend to those groups. We look after the children. We are making sure they are well. If they are going to stay all night, we care for them, we attend to them, we give them emotional help.”

She described the work as “a crusade of humanity,” adding that Venezuelans must respond with empathy after a shock of this scale. “Right now, Venezuelans have to be truly empathetic with one another so we can support each other, stand behind each other, and get ourselves out of this shake-up we have experienced, which was very hard.”

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers programme was established by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion, and operates under the motto, “Something can be done about it.” The programme trains volunteers to provide practical assistance in times of disaster and social need, including support for individuals and families affected by loss, displacement and trauma. Volunteer Ministers have participated in relief work following earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires and other emergencies in numerous countries.

Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, said the Venezuelan operation illustrates the practical meaning of human dignity in a moment of crisis.

“What is taking place in Venezuela is a reminder that human rights and human dignity begin with the person in front of us,” Arjona said. “Food, water, a blanket, a trained volunteer, a rescue team that can reach a dangerous area, or a word of hope to a family waiting through the night — these are concrete expressions of human dignity. European Scientologists have not looked at this tragedy from a distance. Many are sending assistance, and volunteers from Spain have already travelled to Venezuela to stand alongside local teams and affected families. That spirit of service reflects the best of Europe’s civic tradition: responsibility, solidarity and respect for every human life.”

Arjona also thanked the International Association of Scientologists for the emergency support being provided in Venezuela, saying that the humanitarian effort demonstrates the importance of cooperation between religious communities, civil society, rescue specialists and private partners. “When public institutions, volunteers, faith-based groups, professionals and citizens work together, the response becomes faster, more humane and more effective,” he said. “In such moments, the question is not what separates people, but what can be done to help them.”

The current operation in Venezuela includes the reception, classification and distribution of food, drinking water, medicines, hygiene products, clothing, blankets, children’s supplies and safety equipment. Volunteer teams are also assisting with the organisation of centres for children and families, support for displaced communities and coordination of resources for those who have lost homes, relatives or essential belongings.

Representatives of the Volunteer Ministers said the scale of the emergency requires disciplined coordination as well as compassion. “When a tragedy of this magnitude occurs, every minute counts and every person can make a difference,” they said. “Our volunteers are working day and night to help save lives, support affected families and bring hope where it is most needed. Venezuela is showing once again that solidarity is stronger than any disaster.”

The Church of Scientology, its missions, groups and members are present throughout the European continent, where their recognition as charitable and bona fide religious communities continues to grow. Inspired by the works of L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology-supported humanitarian initiatives include drug prevention education, human rights awareness, moral education through The Way to Happiness, and Volunteer Minister service in times of need. Across Europe and internationally, these activities reflect a continuing commitment to education, prevention and community betterment.
