On May 10th, more than 100 diplomatic envoys to China from 50 countries have arrived in Xi’an, to attend the five-day event of “Bring the starting point of the Silk Road to the world”, 2021 Economic Trade and Cultural Tour of Xi’an for Diplomatic Envoys to China.

The staff of the event organizing committee went to Xi’an Xianyang International Airport to guarantee the reception work to go smoothly. Nearly one hundred etiquette girls and volunteers greeted the foreign envoys at the arrivals exit of the terminal building. By 17:00, all the diplomatic envoys have arrived in Xi’an and checked into the Grand Wyndham Hotel Xi’an.

In the afternoon, the diplomatic envoys went to “Wengcheng” (the defensive enclosure) of Xi’an Yongning Gate to participate in the ancient-style entering ceremony. This is the noblest way that the Shaanxi Provincial People’s Government greet guests from afar. All the diplomatic envoys’ presence in “Wengcheng” made an instant hit in Xi’an. The local citizens took photos, videos and sent posts on their WeChat moments, which caused a great sensation.

A lively scene was presented that night in the “Wengcheng” of Yongning Gate. For most diplomatic envoys who are rich in experiences and knowledge, it is the first time to participate in such a high standard and large scale ancient-style entering ceremony. Their excitement was beyond words. They just raised their thumbs from time to time and praised “OK, OK!”. An envoy from Nepal who had lived in China for nine years said in fluent Chinese, “The ancient city-entering ceremony is so amazing. The night scenery of Xi’an is so beautiful that I will never forget it.”

The 5th Silk Road International Expo and Investment and Trade Fair for Cooperation between East and West will solemnly open at Xi ‘an International Convention and Exhibition Center on May 11. As the branch session of the 5th Silk Road Expo, the event of “Bring the Starting Point of the Silk Road to the World” 2021 Economic Trade and Cultural Tour of Xi’an for Diplomatic Envoys to China will surely add much glamour to the Expo.

Press Release

Texas Native Acquitted by Bexar County Jury is Now Demanding Accountability

Published

September 11, 2026

By

Kerry Ray Lampkin Jr. directed his defense to a Not Guilty theft verdict and says his ongoing federal dispute is open to a negotiated resolution.

Austin, Texas – Kerry Ray Lampkin Jr., a 37-year-old Indigenous American and native son of this land, was acquitted by a Bexar County jury after being charged with theft of property valued from $30,000 to less than $150,000. The certified judgment in State of Texas v. Kerry Lampkin, case 2024CR009936, records the jury’s Not Guilty verdict and orders his immediate discharge. The acquittal was entered June 18, 2025, in the 187th District Court.

Lampkin says the victory came after he ended his relationship with prior counsel and took direct command of his defense strategy. His account is one of pressure, preparation, faith, and refusal to fold when the machinery around him appeared overwhelming. The official judgment records that he appeared with counsel at trial, while Lampkin maintains his account of self-representation.

The acquittal closed the prosecution, but Lampkin says it did not close the damage. He reports lasting financial loss, disruption, reputational harm, emotional strain, and continuing consequences arising from the events surrounding the case. He says he is now pursuing a federal action seeking $12 million in damages. The federal claims remain allegations unless and until resolved through judgment or agreement.

LAMPKIN STATEMENT: “They had the accusation, the resources, and the weight of the system. I had the truth, my faith, and the courage to stand. A jury heard the evidence and said Not Guilty. Now the fight is about repairing what was broken and making sure accountability reaches every door it must reach.”

Today, Lampkin is turning lived experience into instruction and purpose. Through Prosperity Trust and Funding and his Skool community, Possessing the Land with Kerry Lampkin, he teaches, speaks, writes, produces media, and leads conversations centered on faith, financial understanding, self-education, accountability, and disciplined action. His message reaches beyond one courtroom: knowledge must become courage, and courage must become constructive work that strengthens families and communities.

HIS TEACHING CREED: Knowledge is protection. Truth is power. When you know your rights, fear leaves the room.

A MESSAGE FROM KERRY: “Life will throw things at you, and sometimes you have to face them head-on. What was meant to break you does not have to break you. It can become the vehicle that carries you toward your destination, your purpose, and what God created you to do. Never look at trials and tribulations as the end. Receive the lesson, rise with greater wisdom, and keep moving forward. I approve this message.” Says Kerry Ray Lampkin Jr.

Although prepared to continue the federal fight, Lampkin says he remains open to serious, good-faith discussions aimed at resolving the dispute outside court. His position is direct: peace is possible, but any resolution must recognize the scope of the claimed harm and bring meaningful closure.

The story carries a wider message for communities across Texas and the nation: an accusation is not a conviction, pressure is not proof, and one determined voice can still be heard by twelve jurors.

STATE CASE DETAILS

  • Case: 2024CR009936
  • Court: 187th District Court, Bexar County, Texas
  • Verdict: Not Guilty by jury
  • Acquittal Entered: June 18, 2025

His public story follows a Bexar County jury acquittal, an ongoing effort to obtain redress for the harm he says followed the underlying events, and a mission to turn panic into power, pressure into preparation, and adversity into purpose.

InviteCount Launches All-in-One Wedding Platform for Websites, Invitations, RSVPs and Planning

Published

September 11, 2026

By

United States, 11th Sep 2026 — Invite Count LLC has announced the launch of InviteCount, an all-in-one wedding platform that brings wedding websites, digital invitations, RSVP management, guest management and wedding planning tools together in one place. Designed to simplify the planning process, InviteCount gives couples the tools to create a beautiful wedding website, manage their guests and organize important details of their celebration from a single platform.

Available worldwide at invitecount.com, InviteCount is built around a single guest list that powers the platform’s website, digital and printable invitations, RSVPs, seating chart, budget, planning checklist, vendor management and day-of schedule. The platform is sold through a one-time payment per wedding, with nothing renewing after the wedding.

A key part of InviteCount’s approach is keeping the guest experience simple. Guests do not need to create an account, download an app or interact with advertising or vendor marketing. They can respond to an invitation through a single link or QR code, while couples maintain control of their guest information and wedding planning.

One Guest List Across the Wedding

InviteCount connects its planning tools through one underlying guest list rather than requiring couples to move information between separate applications. When a guest changes information such as a meal choice, the update can flow through the relevant planning tools, including seating and catering numbers.

The platform includes RSVP collection with attendance, meal choices, dietary notes, plus-ones, custom questions and guest messages. Live RSVP analytics provide attendance and meal totals, while guest information can be exported for use by caterers and other wedding professionals.

InviteCount also includes a guest list manager, seating planner, table capacities, printable seating charts, guest messaging, registry links and honeymoon-fund functionality.

Three Studios for the Wedding Experience

InviteCount’s Website Studio provides a browser-based editor with 250+ wedding website designs, 10+ page layouts, 300+ color palettes. Couples can preview their websites on desktop and mobile, customize individual template elements and manage cover-photo positioning.

The Card Studio provides a five-card printed suite consisting of Cover, Invitation, Details, Wedding Party and RSVP cards. The cards can be customized with event details, wording, decorative elements and RSVP QR codes, then exported as print-ready PDFs for home printing or an independent print shop.

The Interactive Card Studio adds cinematic digital experiences for save-the-date, thank-you and welcome cards. Couples can choose from animated entrances, colorways, paper treatments, wax-seal monograms, ribbons and other visual elements. Cards can be shared through links, messages, email or QR codes and can connect guests to the wedding website.

Guest Invitations in 16 Languages

InviteCount supports multilingual guest invitations, allowing couples to provide a more accessible experience for guests from different countries and language backgrounds.

Guest-facing invitations are currently available in 16 languages and language variants:

  • English
  • Danish
  • German
  • Spanish
  • French
  • Italian
  • Dutch
  • Norwegian
  • Swedish
  • Turkish
  • Bulgarian
  • Russian
  • Armenian
  • Traditional Chinese
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Arabic

Arabic invitations are supported with right-to-left layouts. The multilingual experience can be used across the guest-facing invitation and RSVP experience, helping couples communicate important wedding information in their guests’ preferred language.

Try Before Signing Up

InviteCount also offers Sneak Peek, allowing visitors to preview their own engagement photo, names and wedding details across the platform’s designs without creating an account or uploading the photo. The preview operates in the browser, with the images remaining on the visitor’s device.

The experience includes desktop and phone previews, theme search, color filtering, layout selection and an interactive card-entrance playground.

One-Time Pricing

InviteCount offers a free plan for weddings with up to 30 guests, while paid plans are structured as a single payment per wedding:

  • Free: $0 for up to 30 guests
  • Premium: $49 for up to 100 guests
  • Signature: $79 for unlimited guests

Every wedding after the first is available at half price, at $25 for Premium and $40 for Signature. Paid plans add features including custom domains, premium page layouts and additional interactive card options.

Tools for the Wedding Day

InviteCount extends beyond planning with a day-of operations hub, guest photo collection and collaboration features. Couples can create a guest photo QR code for use at the celebration, allowing guests to upload photos without an account or app. Hosts can moderate submissions or display them automatically through a live photo wall.

The platform also provides ceremony, reception and evening-party management, vendor organization, budget tracking, wedding-day schedules, address collection and guest communications.

InviteCount is operated by Invite Count LLC, registered in Wyoming, USA. The company received its federal EIN in June 2026 and is currently accepting real payments through Stripe Checkout worldwide.

About InviteCount

InviteCount is an all-in-one wedding platform that gives couples one place to build a wedding website, create digital and printable invitations, collect RSVPs and manage their guest list, seating chart, budget, checklist and vendors. Guests can respond through a single link without an account, app or advertising. InviteCount is available worldwide at invitecount.com and offers free access for weddings with up to 30 guests, with paid plans sold as a one-time payment per wedding.

JUMO and Standard Bank launch Social Finance Framework to scale inclusive finance in Africa

Published

By

Cape Town, South Africa, September 11th, 2026, FinanceWire

Designed to support the mobilisation of sustainable funding for financial inclusion and economic empowerment across Africa.

Banking technology company JUMO has launched a new Social Finance Framework (SFF) in partnership with Standard Bank’s Sustainable Finance team. The framework aligns with internationally recognised sustainable finance guidelines and provides a transparent structure for raising social finance, such as social loans and social bonds.

This will fund financially inclusive lending activities on JUMO’s technology platform to positively impact underserved individuals, micro enterprises and SMEs across the nine African markets JUMO operates in. With an addressable lending opportunity and a scalable, technology-enabled platform, JUMO is well positioned to deploy capital efficiently across high-growth African markets. The framework is also supported by a positive second party opinion from Endiligence.

Founded with a vision to close the access gap in financial systems for emerging markets, JUMO has built AI-powered technology and lasting partnerships with financial institutions and telcos to expand access to financial services for communities traditionally excluded from formal banking systems. JUMO has demonstrated rapid and accelerating scale, with over $10bn in lifetime disbursements and more than 317 million loans delivered since inception. This is underpinned by 79% year-on-year growth in disbursements and record monthly volumes. The platform delivers measurable inclusion outcomes, with millions of new-to-bank customers, significant participation from youth, women and rural populations, and meaningful exposure to low-income segments often excluded from formal finance.

The framework supports funding for eligible social activities including:

  • SME and microenterprise financing
  • Employment generation
  • Economic empowerment
  • Access to responsible digital financial services

JUMO operates digital financial ecosystems across multiple African markets, with further expansion planned across the continent.

“The launch of the framework represents an important milestone in JUMO’s sustainable finance journey and underpins our core commitment to responsible lending,’ says JUMO CEO Paul Whelpton. ‘It enables a broader pool of development finance institutions, impact investors and sustainability-focused funders to access transparent and measurable social impact opportunities in Africa.”

“The framework standardises the governance, reporting and impact measurement processes intended to provide investors with confidence that financing is directed towards eligible social activities aligned with global sustainable finance standards,’ says George Karamitsos, VP of Sustainable Finance for Standard Bank. ‘The framework provides a credible, transparent vehicle to channel institutional capital into JUMO’s proven platform at scale.”

By combining JUMO’s technology-driven banking infrastructure with sustainable finance principles, the jointly established framework aims to accelerate access to responsible credit and unlock economic opportunity for millions of underserved consumers and businesses across the continent.

Capital directly supports underserved populations, including youth, women, rural communities, and low-income individuals, with clear evidence of improved livelihoods.

About JUMO

JUMO has developed AI-led financial technology that enables banks to offer a new generation of digital credit and savings products to millions of entrepreneurs in Africa. JUMO works with partners, such as banks, e-money operators and payments providers, to facilitate high-tech information and money management systems.

Since its founding in 2015, JUMO has disbursed over $10 billion to 40 million people in Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire, South Africa, Benin and Cameroon. JUMO’s administration of over 317 million individual loans has proven that microcredit in Africa is imperative, impactful and sustainable.

With unmatched speed to market and low infrastructure costs, JUMO aims to bring banking to everyone, everywhere, at any time.
