The first stop will be at the Southampton African American Museum (SAAM), founded by Brenda Simmons. “I’m proud to say this is SAAM’s 3rd year partnering with ART & SOUL: Hamptons. They have been profoundly instrumental in inviting, enlightening, and engaging visitors from near and far to the Hamptons, who are discovering the rich history of art and culture contributed by the BIPOC community”, says Simmons. Artist Alvin Clayton’s latest art collection premieres at SAAM on July 20th.

The second stop will be at the Southampton Arts Center, featuring artwork by various artists participating in the ‘Beyond The Streets: Post Graffiti’ art exhibition. Southampton Art Center’s mission is building community through the Arts, and we are delighted to once again collaborate with ART & SOUL: Hamptons and our neighbors at SAAM and Ma’s House to welcome all to the center and engage with us!” says Strassfield.

The third and final stop of the art walk will be at Hidden Gem NY, a home decor and lifestyle boutique owned by sisters Tanya Willock and Temidra Willock-Morsch. After visiting the vibrant art organizations in Southampton, a private brunch will be co-hosted by Brown Skin Brunchin’.

The festival wraps up with an opening reception to celebrate artist Alvin Clayton‘s residency at the Southampton African American Museum, which is available for viewing through October 2024.

Tree & Snow Removal Services Encourage Preventive Checks Ahead of Winter

Published

on

Tree & Snow Removal Services urges Menomonee Falls residents to schedule tree inspections before winter weather strikes. The company provides preventive assessments to avoid dangerous branch failures and protect properties during Wisconsin’s severe winter months.

Menomonee Falls, WI 53051, United States, 27th Dec 2025 – Colder months often create serious challenges for trees throughout Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties. Menomonee Falls receives about 47 inches of snowfall annually. Heavy snow and ice loads stress tree branches severely as ice accumulation weighs down evergreens particularly hard, while freeze-thaw cycles crack trunks. Some trees suffer major limb failures that threaten property and personal safety. Tree & Snow Removal Services recognizes these seasonal hazards. Therefore, the tree care company urges property owners to plan ahead now. Preventive care in autumn or early winter protects trees and properties all winter long.

“We inspect trees for structural weakness and disease,” explains an arborist from the team. “We identify dead branches, poor limb attachments, and health problems. Once we spot hazards, we either remove them or apply targeted solutions to restore strength.”

They offer free on-site inspections to find problems and issue a no-obligation estimate. Depending on the problems, they determine what steps to take. From trimming and pruning to complete removal, the company provides solutions that keep trees and properties safe. Trimming eliminates weak and dead branches before winter damage occurs, while pruning improves tree structure and reduces wind resistance. These steps protect trees from breaking under snow loads. When removal becomes necessary, Tree & Snow Removal Services handles the work carefully. Trees in poor condition fail rapidly during storms, and professional removal prevents accidents and damage. These services keep trees healthy throughout winter and beyond.

Property owners have to act before storms arrive or the temperature gets too low. Trees weakened by disease can fail unexpectedly during winter storms. Branches that seem healthy may have hidden problems inside. Inspections done by professionals can identify these problems, which may take just an hour or two. Early detection stops expensive property damage. Waiting until storms arrive leaves owners vulnerable to loss. Preventive action protects investments and ensures safety all season.

The company maintains all required licenses and insurance. They don’t require deposits on jobs, and only charge when the work is completed and the customer is satisfied. No surprises appear on final invoices, as customers are charged only the amount stated in the original quote. With transparent pricing and continuous professional service, they have built long-term client relationships across the region.

About Tree & Snow Removal Services

Tree & Snow Removal Services has served Menomonee Falls homes and businesses for over a decade. They deliver quality work at fair prices for the community. The team focuses on providing the best service while keeping costs reasonable. The vision centers on building long-term professional relationships through high standards and fair pricing. Safety and customer satisfaction drive every project.

CGTN: How China Steadily Steered Through a Turbulent 2025

Published

https://youtu.be/QElfErJFytM

With three Guinness World Records under their belt, Qin Haiqun’s team is redefining drone shows. Over the past decade, they have transformed simple aerial devices into artistic wonders, illuminating city skies while reimagining entertainment with innovation and perseverance.

Chasing his childhood dream of flying, Zhao Deli has completed 1,560 test flights — enduring countless crashes — to create his drone motorcycle. Failure, he proves, is simply a stepping stone to success.

Through his camera lens, Xi Zhinong has been protecting nature for 40 years and counting, understanding that conservation is a never-ending journey. From documenting Tibetan antelopes threatened by poaching to safeguarding the habitats of green peacocks, he has turned his love of wildlife into a lifelong commitment.

With an average age of just 26, a group of young innovators is pushing China’s robotics industry forward with relentless R&D. Their humanoid robots and robotic dogs demonstrate how youthful passion can drive technological breakthroughs.

The China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe takes to the stage with confidence and purpose. Deaf dancers like Wei Jingyang convey hope through movement, knowing that physical limitations can never dim the light of ambition.

Across China, countless dream-chasers are shaping their realities through unwavering dedication. An ancient saying puts it simply: dreams and wishes may be far, but they can be fulfilled with dedicated pursuit. CGTN’s feature series “Knowing China Through the Classics” shares these inspiring stories, exploring how traditional wisdom — often cited by President Xi Jinping — continues to shape modern Chinese society.

Other examples of the old inspiring the new can be seen in the animated sensation “Ne Zha 2,” which took over US$2.2 billion at the box office, and in composer Yang Rui’s modern adaptation of a 2,500-year-old, UNESCO-listed Dong chorus. Together, they offer new ways of retelling Eastern legends, showing how both “prose and poetry are composed to reflect the times and reality.”

Though it has not been an easy year for the world, Chinese President Xi Jinping has steadily navigated the ups and downs of 2025, steering the world’s second-largest economy forward. Guided by ancient wisdom, China has marked a pivotal year, capturing global attention with breakthroughs such as DeepSeek AI, humanoid robots, and its resilience amid trade tensions.

These stories of pursuing dreams reveal a China full of hope and vitality — a nation building a new tomorrow on ancient foundations.
