Turkey Trot Los Angeles returns to Downtown Los Angeles on Thanksgiving morning, November 23, 2023. The popular Turkey Day charity run has become a holiday tradition for many Angelenos and helps raise money for those in need for The Midnight Mission. Thousands of runners and walkers of all skill levels dressed as Thanksgiving turkeys, pilgrims, and pies will start and finish in front of historic Los Angeles City Hall. The route will take them around Grand Park, pass the world-famous Disney Concert Hall, the Broad Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, and down historic Spring Street, one of the oldest streets in Los Angeles. The annual Turkey Trot Los Angeles has set a goal to raise $100,000 for The Midnight Mission to help those experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles. For more information and to register, please go towww.turkeytrot.la.
Partnerships with corporations will assist in achieving fundraising goals this year. The Midnight Mission and Turkey Trot LA are focused on creating corporate teams that will participate in the 5k or 10k while raising funds. In addition, all participants who donate more than $25 will receive a pair of Bombas socks. Bombas will also be donating over 4,000 pairs of socks to The Midnight Mission.
Funds raised will help remove obstacles to self-sufficiency and provide the accountability and structure that people who are experiencing homelessness need to rejoin their communities. Participants are encouraged to create their own fundraising teams and prizes will be awarded to incentivize fundraising efforts.
“We are thrilled to partner with Generic Events for this year’s Turkey Trot,” said David Prentice, President & CEO of The Midnight Mission. “The Midnight Mission helps people regain self-sufficiency and combat the issues surrounding homelessness. Gratitude in action helps create bridges to significant transformation. We are honored to align with these extraordinary groups to raise awareness for people living on our streets who are hungry and without a home.”
Turkey Trot LA will likely reach over 4,000 festive runners and walkers this year. Participants can choose between a 5k or 10k and run any time and in any location across the country over Thanksgiving weekend. Families can also bring their little ones for the “Widdle Wobble” (ages 2-12) – a fun run around Grand Park featuring a fantastic kid zone with face-painting, kid-friendly fun. This year’s Turkey Trot will debut the inaugural, one-mile “Dog Jog” sponsored by Centinela Feed & Pet starting at 7:30 a.m. Dog race winners will receive a Turkey Trot t-shirt and bandana.
Turkey Trot LA is committed to creating eco-friendly events step by step. This year, we are partnering with eco-friendly companies such as Liquid Death (water in aluminum cans) to create a sustainable event expo, omitting as much plastic as possible by providing aluminum canned water at the finish line and eco-friendly drinking cups along the course, and recycling stations for the aluminum cans will be provided at the finish line.
“We are grateful to bring the Turkey Trot LA back for all Angelenos to join as friends and partners on a personal, civic, and global level,” said Generic Events Co-Founder Brennan Lindner. “All runners, walkers, and fans will experience an amazing community event and have a direct impact on the continued epidemic of homelessness in Los Angeles.”
Participants will enjoy memorable photo opportunities with the 20-foot-tall turkey in front of the City Hall finish line. After they cross the finish line, they are invited to celebrate at the feather-ruffling post-event festival in Grand Park with music, giveaways, and more Turkey Day fun.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Consulate General in Los Angeles is returning as the Gratitude Sponsor in efforts to promote community and charity. This year’s event is also proudly sponsored by Nouri Shaver Auto and Centinela Feed & Pet.
America Recycles Day on Nov. 15 reminds Americans the importance of promoting recycling, and Cotton Incorporated celebrates year-round by giving old denim a new purpose and circular life while keeping them out of landfills. Cotton’s Blue Jeans Go Green™ denim recycling program closes the loop on textile waste by reusing denim made from cotton and recycling well-loved pieces. Since the program’s inception in 2006, over 2,290 tons of denim have been diverted from landfills.
America Recycles Day is a Keep America Beautiful initiative that educates and encourages individuals on how to be more mindful of what they consume. Cotton Incorporated reminds consumers that textiles are recyclable, too. A sustainable wardrobe starts by always checking the label to understand what clothes are made of. If denim is made of at least 90% cotton, users can recycle it through Cotton’s Blue Jeans Go Green™ program.
“The Blue Jeans Go Green program™ does good for the Earth by avoiding the landfill and creating new possibilities for communities through their purpose,” Andrea Samber, director of brand partnerships for Cotton Incorporated, said. “Thanks to the renewability of denim made from cotton, your well-loved jeans, jackets, and more can be given a new life, from building insulation to pet bed inserts, thermal packaging and beyond. Recycling textiles is important every day, so we hope that America Recycles Day will be an opportunity for Americans to learn about this incredible program and understand how easy it is to get involved.”
Cotton Incorporated launched the Blue Jeans Go Green™ denim recycling program to encourage denim recycling, generate awareness for cotton sustainability, and create opportunities to make an impact in communities. With nearly 4,580,000 pieces of denim recycled through the program so far, Cotton Incorporated will continue to grow its ongoing commitment to recycling by reducing textile waste.
This America Recycles Day, Cotton Incorporated encourages consumers to join the commitment to recycling and wearing sustainable clothes, like denim made from cotton. Because every piece has potential, every piece can live longer, and every piece can be recycled. To learn more about Cotton Incorporated and the Blue Jeans Go Green™ Program, visit the website.
Newly Relaunched Castro NYC Reveals Select Jewels at Carpenters Workshop Gallery New York this Month
Jewelry by the legendary designer, Terry Castro, will be on display in New York now through the end of 2023, under the company led by Sir King Castro
New York, NY. November 8, 2023. Terry Castro, or “Castro,” a name remembered in the jewelry industry for its connection to luxury and heritage, will be honored in Forged by Fire a show held at New York’s Carpenters Workshop Gallery, opening today and on view through December 23rd. The exhibition comes immediately following the brand relaunch of Castro NYC, in which the artist’s son continues the family legacy, awe, and inspiration their father drew from.
Surrounded by the world of jewelry since childhood, Sir King Castro has taken on the mantle of creative direction and design at the firm. Terry Castro’s path pushed boundaries in a manner that was directly imparted to his kin, who was close by through each step of the journey. Sir King’s childhood was spent between New York and Ohio, in the studio with their father in Harlem or at the Toledo School for the Arts, developing creatively. In 2020 they made a relocation to Istanbul which allowed Sir King and Castro to work alongside each other for some time.
Between his move to Istanbul in 2016 and his recent passing last year, Castro transcended into a fully fledged artistic powerhouse, inspired not only from traditional metallurgy, gemology, and design, but from the ancient world and the craftsmen that inhabited the old capitals of empires. During this time, Castro passed the torch to Sir King as his apprentice, while producing some of the most masterful pieces in the Castro NYC collection.
Select Castro NYC pieces will be presented exclusively at the prestigious Carpenters Workshop Gallery exhibit in New York, which curates the work avant-garde luxury artists, including: Michèle Lamy, David Adjaye, Yinka Shonibare, and more. It has locations in London, Paris, and Los Angeles, with the New York gallery perched above Fifth Avenue—a haven for the ideas that co-founders Julien Lombrail and Loïc Le Gaillard have been cultivating for life, selecting only the best works from artists they believe are the icons of their time.
Castro’s travels across the world and Europe inspired many of his works. Spending time in Paris, France, he came to love the decadent pastries served by patisseries in the fashion capital. His favorite French delicacy was the famous croissant, whose crisp layers of buttery flaky crust lent him the inspiration for a jaw-dropping set of earrings, currently on display, which present aluminum alongside royal purple amethyst, antique white diamonds, and hand-carved Mexican ebony. Aluminum is the primary material as an eclectic choice, not only for the usual use in household products, but also because of its extreme brittle nature during the forming process. This caused it to be attempted twice before successful completion, due to the fickle nature of the material, adding to the impressiveness of Castro’s feats of jewelry making.
The Zeeporah earrings, also at the gallery, are an enchanting offering, appearing as two deities. They make a statement, featuring white gold, white diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires, serving as a testament to jewelry functioning as a conduit to transcendental realms, embodying both ancient protective elements and contemporary elegance. These elements arise from a history of traditional African practices, with the Zeeporah reflecting the dynamic spirit of zebras, which manifests through the ears of a zebra sitting on a bird’s skull. They demonstrate Castro’s ethos, presenting a dynamic interplay of antiquity and novelty, serving as an ode to cultural diversity and progressive evolution.
A signature playful Castro NYC piece at Carpenters Workshop Gallery saunters forward with the silhouette of a full emerald sprite; the Money Brooch creatively blends transparent mined Muzo Emeralds with bronze. Both a brooch and a pendant, it ingeniously conceives an elf-like character made of luxurious material, employing hanging emerald beads to shape limbs, and bronze accents to impart a warm and earthy tone, bringing the jewel to life. Every detail was attended to by Castro, with the resulting piece demonstrating the true wealth of creative identity that went into crafting the charm.
Sir King says, “It means a lot to me that there is so much love for Castro out there, and we’re excited to share the story and work of my father with the public, especially partnering with an artistic institution like Carpenters Workshop Gallery, who have brought the exhibition to life.”
“Forged by Fire features works by 16 contemporary jewelry artists exhibiting collections exclusive to Carpenters Workshop Gallery. This diverse ensemble of contemporary jewelry reflects the rich tapestry of global cultures and individual stories in raw, poetic, and boundary-pushing designs, including Castro NYC, HUNROD Gold, by Michèle Lamy and Loree Rodkin, Paris Kain’s Dominion series and Cindy Sherman x LIZWORKS’ limited edition Cameo series. This exhibition is particularly special, as it marks the first of its kind for Castro NYC since the passing of the late Terry Castro. We are very honored to commemorate his memory through this show,” says Tamara Platiša, Head of Jewellery.
Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of global cultures and personal experiences, Castro’s designs evoke a sense of wonder, leaving an indelible mark. Castro NYC is an embodiment of emotions, a testament to the power of craftsmanship, and a celebration of life’s cherished moments. The brand’s commitment to excellence and passion for pushing the boundaries of design attracts a devoted clientele, and its legacy will continue to be celebrated thanks to Sir King as the torchbearer. Their devotion and precise care to cultivate the Castro NYC brand is transforming it into a new and exciting era.
Forged by Fire will be on view at Carpenters Workshop Gallery, 693 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY, 10022, Monday through Saturday, from 10:00AM-6:00PM, now through December 23, 2023.

Looking your best is about feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin. While fashion trends come and go, there are some timeless tips for men’s grooming and style that stand the test of time. Follow these nine essential pointers to always put your best face forward.
1. Find a Great Hairstyle for Your Face Shape
Your hairstyle frames your face, so find one that complements your facial features. Oval faces can pull off almost anything, from short to long. Square faces look great with textured styles like fades or spiky hair. Round faces benefit from height on top with short sides. Heart-shaped faces suit voluminous quiffs or messy styles. An experienced barber like this one that’s been in Lansing for over ten years can recommend the most flattering cuts.
2. Moisturize Daily
Daily moisturizer is a must for every man. Look for light, oil-free formulas if you have oily or combination skin. Dry, flaky skin needs richer creams. Apply after washing or shaving when the skin is still damp to seal in moisture. Target areas that are prone to dryness like the T-zone on your nose, forehead and chin.
3. Don’t Neglect Your Skin Care Routine
Washing daily with a gentle cleanser removes dirt, oil and bacteria that can lead to breakouts. Exfoliate once or twice a week to slough off dead cells and keep pores clear. Use a daily SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent premature aging and skin cancer, even if you don’t think you’ll be outside much. Alongside protecting your skin, paying attention to your eye health is just as important. Investing in a stylish pair of prescription glasses can enhance your appearance while offering daily protection from UV rays and screen glare. Today’s options for buying glasses online make it easier than ever to find frames that suit your face and lifestyle without compromising on quality.
4. Keep Your Beard Neatly Trimmed
If you sport facial hair, regular trimming is essential for a polished look. Use clippers to maintain an even length, then tweezers to pluck stray hairs. Define the edges of your beard with shaving cream and a razor. Apply beard oil or balm daily to condition the hair and skin underneath.
5. Whiten Your Teeth
A bright smile with pearly white teeth gives your look an instant boost. Use whitening toothpaste and strips to reduce stains. If you drink coffee, tea, wine or smoke, brush after to prevent discoloration. See your dentist twice a year for cleanings and touch-up whitening treatments.
6. Tame Unruly Eyebrows
Your eyebrows frame your eyes, so keep them under control. Use small scissors or an electric trimmer to snip any hairs that extend beyond the natural shape. Don’t over-pluck from below or you may end up with thinner brows as you age. Just neaten up the top edges and underneath to keep things tidy.
7. Iron Wrinkled Clothes
Wrinkled clothes look sloppy no matter how nice they are. Invest in a good steam iron to smooth out wrinkles fast. Hang button-downs, pants and jackets immediately after ironing so they don’t re-wrinkle. For really stubborn wrinkles, use a spray bottle of water while ironing to help relax the fibers.
8. Practice Good Hygiene Daily
From bathing to dental care, don’t skip the basics. Shower daily using a germ-fighting body wash. Change into clean underwear and socks every day. Floss and brush twice daily. Deodorant is a must, along with regular hair washes and nail clipping. These simple habits make you look and feel fresher. If you’re also thinking how to stop itchy scalp, washing your hair regularly can help.
9. Drink Water and Eat Healthy Foods
What you put into your body shows on the outside too. Stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day for clear, glowing skin. Eat plenty of fresh fruits, veggies, lean proteins and whole grains for a balanced diet. Avoid excessive alcohol, caffeine, processed foods and sugar to keep your overall health and appearance in top shape.
Following these essential grooming and style habits will have you looking like your best self every day. Find a routine that fits your lifestyle and stick to it. Invest time and care into your appearance, and your confidence will shine through.
Raxxy’s designer William Shen has presented its new Couture collection in Paris through an installation attracting numerous visitors to capture memories.
When entering the Cultural Center of China, the guests discovered an exhibition mixing the craftmanship of fashion and art.
William Shen, createur de la marque Raxxy a présenté sa nouvelle collection Couture au travers d’une installation à Paris, invitant de nombreux visiteurs à immortaliser ce moment.
Inheriting traditional Chinese culture, Raxxy is combining art and innovative knowledge.
This modern and geometrical expression is deeply inspired by Chinese culture. The puffer garments are worked around the soaring spirit of China and its National Day celebration, fireworks and majestic dragons ascend and dance together, blending into a traditional color palette. The use of warm and pastel colors such as lotus pink, sky and gemstone blue and autumn fragrance yellow merge with the cold and oriental spirit beneath the stark Chinese winter.
Raxxy holds an exclusive patent for its 3D transformation process, leading to a rich inspiration. It weaves together romantic and sensuous expressions, deconstructing the conventional silhouette of puffer jackets to introduce a new concept of “sequential fashion.” It reflects the relationship between the brand’s core and the free-spirited lifestyle of contemporary youth.
Continuing an unprecedented hot streak, Lil Durk proudly presents his forthcoming new OTF (Only The Family) compilation project, Nightmares In The Trenches, out next Friday November 17. Pre-order/Pre-save HERE. He paved the way for its arrival with the scorching song and music video “Smurk Carter,” available now. Stream “Smurk Carter” HERE. Watch the music video HERE.
“Smurk Carter” laces otherworldly synths with boisterous horns and a thumping bassline. Durk’s unmistakable vocals practically put the beat in a headlock as he drops distinctive bars with an anthemic and introspective hook, “Money is the root of all evil, Smurk I mean Durk be in the trenches with his people.” In a moment of raw reflection, he exhales a sigh, “‘Cursed’ I mean hurt that they just taking all my people.” In the cinematic visual directed by Jerry Production, Durk links up with friends and family as the music video opens up with Durk’s uncle as the voice intro and cameo appearance. The mood undeniably resembles an ode to Lil Wayne’s Carter/Carter II era Lil Wayne as Durk pays homage through the imagery.
In other big news, Durk just snagged a GRAMMY® Award nomination for “All My Life” [feat. J. Cole]. At the 2024 ceremony, he will compete for “Best Melodic Rap Performance.” Stay tuned for more.
The original “All My Life” picked up a platinum certification, soared to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, reeled in over half-a-billion streams in addition to 124 million YouTube views on the music video, and reached #1 at Rhythm and Urban Radio for consecutive weeks. Not to mention, it vaulted to #1 on the Billboard Rhythmic Chart and at Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart.
Lil Durk released his critically acclaimed blockbuster album, Almost Healed, earlier this year. Nearing half-a-billion streams, Almost Healed, marked his fourth consecutive Top 3 debut on the Billboard 200 and third straight #1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart.
It is believed that betting is a game of chance and luck. But, if played strategically, the probability of wins increases, and one can earn money.
Be it sport betting Zambia or America, you can rule the betting world. But how? So, check out some essential do’s and don’ts while placing a bet.
Essential Betting Tips
To minimize your losses and maximize profits, the most important is to think logically. You just can’t rely on the statistics and records. You need to use the presence of mind and some necessary tips that might turn the tables for you.
1. Learn About the Odds
Knowing the odds is quite essential. As they keep changing, one must be able to track them carefully and check the reasons behind them.
Odds not only tell you the probability of your win but also represent the profit you can earn on any bet you make.
Odds are mentioned in American, Decimal, or Fractional format. You must be able to read the odds before stepping into the betting world.
2. Go with the Best Betting Line
Knowledge of betting lines is equally important as that of odds. These might be different for a single bet on various sports. You should be able to decide the best one for you. The betting line could be a money line, a point spread, or a point total.
Firstly, you have to learn about all the betting lines, and then you need to use logic for which line will be more profitable at any given condition of betting.
3. Parlay Bets Could be Risky
Parlay are the cumulative bets that could earn you a large amount of money if you get lucky. But there is more risk involved in it. If looking for long-term betting, you better avoid such bets.
As in a parlay bet, you place more than one bet. But you earn only if you win all the included bets. In case you lose any of the single bets from it, you will lose all your money.
4. Manage Bankroll
Bankroll management is the most crucial point to be considered. Bankroll is the amount that you set for placing the bets. Always set a fixed limit, and never cross it. This will save you from the burden of losses.
Wins and losses go parallel in the betting game. If you know your limit, you will never face excess loss.
Bets usually go with the point system. For beginners, always bet 1% on 1 point. So, if your bankroll amount is $1500, your bet will be $15 for 1 point (1% of $1500).
This will keep you on the safe side, and you will be able to manage your finances efficiently.
Bottom Line
In conclusion, you should get into a detailed study of all betting concepts and methods before placing the bets. This will enhance your logical reasoning and help you in better decision-making.
Managing your bankroll and having a deep understanding of odds and betting lines are some of the tips you must follow to earn profits.
This is the run-up to the grand final. A few weeks ago, when the selection of the applications was finalised, the members of the committee drew the same conclusion. Selections are sometimes unfair ones. What criterion should prevail? Mastery or promise for a bright future? The artist’s personality, or his/her capacity to express empathy and reflect the world? The times are so difficult and emergencies so numerous that creation must stand its ground. As one jury member wrote in a post. “There’s the ‘I’, there’s the game and the us, there’s them and you. As for us… we are a little bit confused.” One hundred and fifty-eight applications! One hundred and fifty-eight words and colours, sounds, reflections and rhythms. We are a bit confused… to sort out only ten. The Afro Pepites Show is not a competition, it’s an online trade fair. We don’t play football. But you still have to make a choice.
This time, it’s done. Ten, like the fingers of the two hands that wrote the texts and placed the colours, that struck the tom-tom and spread the gesture. Ten messages, twenty fingers producing meaning, twenty ways of being, in eight African countries: Cameroon, South Africa, Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Mali, the Republic of Guinea and Burkina Faso. And once again, it’s a difficult task, given that the entire continent is multiplying the number of tracks. Ten signatures and 148 others behind them, because the Pépites are also a state of mind, a topicality, a deep need to say together, in one way or another, that this voice is ours.
So when it comes to the final selection, the decision is up to you. For you that fill the concert venues, attend exhibitions, showcases, for you stand in the arena and are part of the picture too. You who fill the halls, you who attend exhibitions and performances, you who stand at the foot of the stage and in the painting too. This is how art works. Proximity is essential. Virtuality remains an illusion. For as long as the Pepites have existed, they have had this driving force, this trust, and this will apply on 15 December, when we announce the new pepites. Your choice, your artist, your desire, your vote. It’s up to you to have your say until 30 November 2023! And as many of you as possible should take part. In less than a month, this final picture will be yours.
