How Vitamin C
Can Help Boost
Your Skin’s
Health And
Appearance
(BPT) - Are you always on the
lookout for better, more effective -
and affordable - ways to help boost
your skin’s health and appearance?
If so, you’ve probably noticed that
vitamin C has become a staple
when it comes to ingredients in the
best skincare products. You’ve also
probably heard dermatologists re-
commending the topical application
of vitamin C as a crucial part of
their patients’ everyday skincare
routines. But why? And when
should you use it?
What vitamin C can do for your
skin:
New York City Dermatologist Dr.
Joshua Zeichner explains some of
the reasons why this vitamin
should be at the top of your skin-
care regimen to-do list.
“Vitamin C, technically known as
ascorbic acid, has become so popu-
lar because it is the best-studied
topical antioxidant on the market to
treat the skin. It neutralizes free
radical damage to help repair and
protect your skin at the cellular
level. It also helps even out skin
tone and brighten dark spots,” said
Zeichner. “Adding a skincare pro-
duct with vitamin C to your routine
can give the skin a glowing, radiant
appearance.”
With many skincare products on
the market now featuring vitamin
C, it’s important to find the right
products, as well as a skincare
regimen that’s best for you.
“I recommend looking for pro-
ducts that have been clinically
tested and approved by dermatolo-
gists,” said Zeichner. “Vitamin C
can be used in the morning along
with sunscreen to help protect the
skin. It can also be used in the
evening along with your nighttime
moisturizing cream to help repair
it.”
Here’s an easy and affordable 2-
step routine that can help you bring
the power of vitamin C into your
daily skincare regimen.
Step 1: RoC Multi Correxion
Revive + Glow Daily Serum
After gently cleansing your skin,
rum, which is supercharged with a
daily dose of vitamin C. One
hundred percent of testers experi-
enced brighter and tighter skin in
just 4 weeks, along with a reduction
in fine lines and wrinkles - and 94%
had a more even skin tone.
The serum contains a 10% active
vitamin C antioxidant blend that
includes peptides and advanced
hydrators to visibly brighten skin,
improve elasticity and reduce the
look of lines and wrinkles.
Step 2: RoC Multi Correxion
Revive + Glow Gel Cream
For your second step after
applying the serum, this gel cream
has a potent vitamin C blend that’s
great for supporting your skin’s
health. In clinical tests, 97% of
testers instantly saw more lumi-
nous, plumper-looking skin, and
100% experienced brighter skin and
improved elasticity in just four
weeks.
Both products are clinically pro-
ven, dermatologist-tested and both
paraben- and sulfate-free.
“One important note is that
vitamin C and retinol should not be
mixed. If you use retinol products at
night, then use the vitamin C
products only in the morning,”
added Zeichner.
To find these products, visit a
Walmart near you or shop online at
Walmart.com.

“Adele One Night Only” — Anticipation for this LA-filmed prime-time
concert special is high, as it promises to be a major reveal of Adele’s newest
music, of which we have been deprived for six long years. (Her new album,
“30,” drops Nov. 19, and the first single from it, “Easy On Me,” already hit
No. 1 on Billboard.) Interspersed throughout the show will be an interview
with Adele by none other than Ms. Oprah Winfrey. The women will talk all
things music, lyric inspiration and life. But don’t be confused by the name
of this televised concert. While it airs only one night on CBS (Sunday, Nov.

“City of Joel” — What happens when an impassioned religious sect slowly
and systematically attempts to become the dominating demographic in a
quiet small town, in direct opposition to citizens outside of the religion? It
gets really ugly, that’s what. The town of Monroe, New York, includes the
Village of Kiryas Joel, which is populated entirely by Hasidic Jews. Political
battles over land brought tempers on both sides to the boiling point in 2018
when the village petitioned to annex a significant portion of town as its own,
Tub Time Machine” where, in 1986, nobody knew what the heck those guys
were riding down the mountain? (Hint: It was snowboards.) Well, we have
Jake Burton to thank for making that crazy new sport a permanent fixture
on snowy mountains worldwide. After constructing the first snowboard in
1977, Burton spent the next 42 years devoted to promoting the sport, fine-
tuning its equipment, and basically convincing the world how cool
snowboarding really is. Even if you don’t partake in the activity, this
documentary is an interesting project that marries a great story of passion
and entrepreneurship with fantastic winter sports footage. (HBOMax)
“Theo Von: Regular People” — Comedian Theo Von’s second Netflix
stand-up special is trending in the Top 10 its recent first week of release,
so I had high hopes for an entertaining hour. I remembered him from his
time on MTV’s “Road Rules” and “The Challenge,” but was unfamiliar with
his comedy. Unfortunately, it was an agonizing 60 minutes. While there are
moments I chuckled, for the most part I felt slightly uncomfortable,
wondering if Von was trying too hard to be edgy or was simply naive to how
insensitive some of his jokes were. He doesn’t yet have the polish of a
seasoned comedian, and many of his stories about growing up poor and the
odd friends he knew then needed more details to provide enough setup for
his jokes. He’s not an unlikable guy, but the opening segment about his
own haircut is probably the best part. (Netflix)

pared to 43% in winter 2020.
Despite many consumers indi-
cating that they plan to hold fast to
the traditional shopping experience,
the survey also finds that a growing
number of consumers are adopting
newer shopping methods. This is in
part because of the convenience
these services offer. For example,
42% of those surveyed say they’ll

(BOPIS) services for their holiday
shopping, a 9% increase from 2020,
and 44% say they’ll use curbside

Lessons with the Spring Creek After School Program’s Media Club
BY AMANDA MOSES

Lights, camera, action! It’s one of the most heard phrases uttered throughout the
film industry, and at the Spring Creek After School Program’s Media Club students
are learning these crucial concepts in digital media: lighting, equipment, and content.
Teen Central (TC) Director, Lonai Mosley and TC Teaching, Artist, Eileen Level are
teaching the basics of photography to fourth graders every Wednesday and Thursday
in the lower level of the Brooklyn Sports Club (BSC). This fall, the children are
learning how to operate the camera equipment, frame their photos and recently the
importance of excellent lighting.
Three point lighting was the topic during the most recent lesson, focusing on how
to enhance a subject through light positioning.
“Say if the subject is standing here,” Mosley said, pointing to the center of the BSC’s
lower level cafeteria. “The key light is facing them, so that the fill light is off to the side.
Why do you think that is,” she asked.
Isaiah raised his hand, “I think the light is intentionally crooked,” describing a light
fixture in a 45 degree angle.
Delilah followed up with his answer by adding, “They have the fill light there to get
more lighting from a different angle and to make sure there is not too much of a
shadow.”
Mosley applauded the students’ answers, and explained the components of the
three point lighting: a Key light is set at 45 degrees, a fill is placed opposite of the back
light, and the back light showcases the hair and reduces shadows.
“So basically, if you just have the key lighting for one bright
light, you would have a lot of shadows, but you would also look
flat or washed out. When you use a fill light and a backlight, it
helps add dimension to your subject. So now you will get to see
shadows,” Mosley said, adding, “Sometimes a key light is a

spotlight too.”
After the lesson, the children were separated into groups of
three where they each took turns experimenting with lighting
the TC Media Lounge. Complete with a backdrop, the students
were able to control the brightness as they framed their
classmates for portraits.
Haley wants to be a choreographer when she grows up, and
she believes these sessions will help in her future.
“I can help with lighting for photoshoots and videos. It’s great
that I can learn photography skills,” Haley said proudly.
Michelle wants to create her own YouTube videos, and shared
that lighting can help highlight her subjects.
“I have a tiny ring light at home, but I need to have more so I
can have three point lighting, so there are not too many shadows,”
Michelle said, “I like learning new skills and angles and when I’m
older I will know how to do it like a pro.”

Survey Shows More Americans Are Considering Electric Vehicles
(StatePoint) Americans are in-
creasingly looking to electrify their
daily on-road travel, according to a
new study.
The study, conducted by En-
gine’s CARAVAN on behalf of MINI
USA, finds that half of all con-
sumers nationwide expect the
American automotive market to be
mostly electric within 15 years.
What’s more, 80% said they would
also consider an electric vehicle
(EV) as their primary or secondary
vehicle. Those behind the survey
Dear EarthTalk: Is it true that
some wildlife species are
evolving much more rapidly in
response to the warming
climate?
-- D. Gould, Hendersonville, NC
It’s amazing to think that climate
change is causing animals to evolve
faster than they would otherwise,
but the science speaks for itself.
Researchers from Australia’s Dea-
kin University found evidence of so-
called “shapeshifting” in recent
years in direct response to warming
temperatures across habitat
ranges.
Indeed, several species of Austra-
lian parrots have four-to-10 percent
bigger bills than their ancestors
before the industrial revolution,
correlating directly with rising tem-
peratures due to human-induced
global warming. Dark-eyed juncos
in North America also evolved
bigger bills as temperature ex-
tremes ramped up across their
range. Mammalian shapeshifting
also includes longer tails in wood
mice and increased leg and tail
sizes in masked shrews over the
150 years—all likely adaptations to
warming habitats.
Another study found that climate
change has sped up the rate of
natural selection for mosquitos that
lay their eggs inside carnivorous
SPRING CREEK SUN
say this is a clear sign of progress in
the adoption of EVs.
“More consumers are shifting
their attention to electric vehicles as
they become more attainable and
compelling to own relative to gas-
powered cars,” says Mike Peyton,
chief motorer and vice president,
MINI of the Americas. “EVs are be-
coming especially attractive to a
new generation — ’Gen EV’ as we
say. These are people who are
young, environmentally-minded,
and want more attainable, fun-to-
pitcher plants. Mosquito larvae that
hatch in the spring have adapted to
an earlier spring by opening sooner
than they did a quarter-century ago
to feed on more dead insects.
While these types of adaptations
may benefit the species under
study, climate change is likely
negatively affecting many more
which cannot adapt fast enough to
keep up. For example, Scotland’s
feral sheep have become smaller
due to warmer weather in the
winter that no longer necessitates
larger, thicker coats. And polar
bears, which have evolved thick fur
coats and layers and layers of fat to
keep them warm out on the Arctic
tundra and swimming between ice
floes, are likely another evolu-
tionary loser in the age of climate
change. As ice caps melt and ice
floes become fewer and farther
between, these majestic white
guardians of the Arctic are unlikely
to adapt quickly enough to keep up
with the fast-moving changes to
their environment and are thus
likely headed for extinction unless
drive EV choices.”
Still, range (the distance an EV is
able to travel before needing to be
charged) remains a concern for
many potential owners. Just under
half of respondents believe EV
range is compatible with their own
daily driving patterns. However, the
survey revealed that 78% of respon-
dents don’t travel more than 50
miles per day on average. With
most of today’s electric cars offering
a range over 100 miles, EVs are
compatible with the driving pat-
terns of a majority of American
drivers.
Americans also see EVs as in-
creasingly attainable. Close to half
(47%) of all those surveyed believe
they have become more affordable
and attainable in the last two years.
This is also reflected in the 32% of
respondents who claimed they’d
consider purchasing an electric car
within the next five years.
Younger consumers hold an es-
pecially positive attitude toward
EVs, with gen Z and millennial con-
sumers indicating they’re more
likely to consider purchasing an EV
in five years at 39% and 41%,
respectively. They’re also twice as
likely to believe that electric cars are
fun to drive compared to older gene-
we can turn things around ASAP.
According to the Intergovern-
mental Panel on Climate Change, a
quarter of all species may face ex-
tinction as a result of global warm-
ing, an estimate based on studies
on the range of species and whether
a species has adapted to new
conditions of temperature, rainfall
and more. Researchers then pro-
jected future ranges of to deter-
mine whether the range will shift
faster than a species can move and
adapt. Species that fail to adapt
quickly enough will be trapped in
degrading habitat and as such are
much more likely to go extinct.
While warming temperatures in-
creased gene flow and evolution
among some species during the
Pleistocene era, the current reality
of climate change paints a different
picture. “The present human-
caused climate change will not lead
to similar extensive mixing and
adaptation of populations,” says
Eeva Furman of the Finnish En-
vironment Institute. “Partly be-
cause movements of most species

rations. Regional differences were
also clear in the survey results.
Those in western states feel more
optimistic about electric overtaking
gas-powered vehicles in 15 years,
and are also more likely to be read-
ing up on EV.
If you do decide to make the shift,
look for a model that’s not only fun
to drive, but offers some return on
your investment, such as the
award-winning MINI Cooper SE,
which features a low center of
gravity, powerful electric power-
train, dynamic handling and 114-
mile range. Taking into account the
suggested retail price of $29,900,
federal EV credits of $7,500 and
additional state incentives, the cost
can be as low $20,000. Owners may
also realize additional savings of up
to $1,200 over the course of a year
based on driving habits and U.S.
national average energy costs.
Whether you’re ready to drive an
electric vehicle off the lot today or
you’re still researching the decision,
one thing is clear, EV is making
waves on American roadways
thanks to innovations that have
made them more affordable and fun
to drive.

dominated landscapes, and partly
because the present climate warm-

parison with Pleistocene climate

Tips to Gift Your
Child With Tech
Safely This Holiday
Season
(StatePoint) Are you wondering if
this is the right year to gift your
child a smartphone for the holi-
days?
While age may seem important,
maturity levels play a big role in
letting you know if your child is
ready to handle the responsibility of
owning a connected device. It’s
always important to weigh the pros
and cons.
The benefits of a smartphone and
internet access are that they offer a
wealth of educational opportunities
for students. Children are early
adopters of the latest technology
and in many cases, can absorb and
digest information easier and much
faster than adults.
The downside is that children
have access to everything on the
internet, including potentially inap-
and tools available, some at low or
no cost to you. For example, T-
Mobile offers Family Mode, an app
that allows the primary account
holder to monitor a child’s internet
access when the app is downloaded
on the device. T-Mobile also offers
Family Allowances, an app that for
a small monthly fee, allows you to
assign allowances for the number of
minutes, texts, downloaded content
and money spent on downloadable
apps. It also allows you to block
your child’s use of their devices
during certain times of the day,
such as school, during homework,

devotion to Torah study, the cash gifts give the children the
opportunity to give tzedakah (charity). This has also spawned the

monary disease -- its two main
forms are emphysema and chronic
bronchitis -- usually, but not in-
variably, is a result of long-term
exposure to lung toxins, especially
smoke. In the most common case of
COPD, due to cigarette smoking (at
least, that's the most common in
North America and Europe: cooking
fires are still a common cause in
less developed countries), stopping
the exposure will dramatically slow
down further damage. Unfortu-
nately, there are no established
treatments that can restore lung
function in people with moderate to
advanced COPD.
Pulmonary fibrosis is, by con-
trast, a rare disease; about 30,000
people in the U.S. are diagnosed
each year (compare that with the 9
million people in the U.S. diagnosed
with chronic bronchitis last year).
The exact mechanism of action of
pirfenidone and nintedanib is not
known, but they are not thought to
be effective in COPD. Surprisingly, I
did not find a published trial look-

help your family find its footing.
One such resource is “Caring for
a Loved One With Diabetes,” a new
guide from Interim HealthCare Inc.
The latest offering in its HomeLife
Enrichment series, the guide equips
families with tools to care for the
whole individual, not just one facet
of diabetes management, including
mind, body, and spirit, as well as
the family dimension. According to
Interim HealthCare Inc., this wide-
angle approach can lead to more
compassionate care, improved
health and a positive outlook amid
health challenges.
Sheets also suggests that families
consider professional home-based
care, which can serve not only as an
educational extension of the doc-
tor’s office, but an opportunity to
tailor care in a personal way that
makes sense to the patient.
“Making the lifestyle changes
recommended by a physician after
a diabetes diagnosis can be over-
whelming,” explains Sheets. “By

DEAR DR. ROACH: At 75, I had
my first-ever kidney stone in
December. The urologist told me
to stop drinking so much milk.
But he never asked if my diet had
changed. I had been eating al-
monds by the handful every day.
I felt certain this was the cause of
the stone.
I drink skim milk, which is
prac-tically tasteless. I started
adding a slight bit of almond milk
to the skim to give it a more
pleasant taste. Should I not be
doing this? -- P.T.
ANSWER: I am not certain why the
urologist told you to stop drinking
cow's milk. We used to believe that
the calcium in milk increased risk
for kidney stones, especially cal-
cium oxalate stones, which are the
most common type; however, dieta-
ry calcium paradoxically decreases
risk of kidney stones, whereas
calcium supplements increase risk
of stones. What makes the biggest
paraprofessionals get a total view of
the patient to tailor a realistic and
effective care plan.”
In the case of Interim HealthCare,
which is anchored by more than 25
years in diabetic chronic care, its
proprietary training programs en-
able home health clinicians and
paraprofessionals to provide valu-
able education and assistance in
familiar surroundings — at home or
in assisted living communities. This
intimate, unedited view into an
individual’s daily life results in care

specific needs, personal motivations
and unspoken obstacles, for im-
proved health management and
ideally, a more rewarding and better
quality of life.
“Patients are often more com-
fortable sharing with a home-based
health professional than their
doctor what their actual habits are.

difference in diet is the oxalate
content.
Almonds, as well as almond milk,
are very high in oxalate; cow's milk
is not. I don't know what you mean
by a "slight bit" of almond milk, but
I would try to avoid taking too much
(more than a few teaspoons a day),
and find another way to flavor the
milk if you really don't like it. I know
a few people who add a drop of
vanilla. Coconut milk -- which I
don't recommend consuming in
large quantities due to the satu-
rated fat content -- does not have
oxalate.
Essentially, everybody with kid-
ney stones should drink plenty of
water, and nearly everyone should
be very careful not to have too
much sodium.

Speaking of Health
Protecting Yourself Against the Flu
Helps Fight COVID-19 Too
SPRING CREEK SENIOR PARTNERS

Nurse on-site every Wednesday and Thursday

Blood pressure and oxygen levels screenings

9: 30am a 12: 30pm

160 Schroeders Avenue - G5
Brooklyn NY 11239

(StatePoint) With students across the country returning to the classroom

and adults returning to the workplace and gathering in person, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predicts that the second
flu season of the COVID-19 pandemic will be significantly more active than
last year.
But, the good news is that there are three simple steps everyone can take
to help protect themselves, their loved ones and communities:

1. Get the Flu Shot: Make sure to get the flu shot, and get it as early as
possible. Most health care providers advise getting your flu vaccine in early
fall.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), early
results show that only about half (50% – 55%) of U.S. adults received the
flu vaccine last year. And, the rate of vaccination among children dropped
from 62% in 2019-2020 to 58% in 2020-2021, which could be attributed
to remote learning and greater isolation than in previous years.
Everyone in the household should get the flu vaccine—especially
working adults, seniors and children in school or daycare. With COVID-19
variants making people sicker than previously seen, getting the vaccine
and protecting yourself from the flu can keep your immune system
healthy. Some studies have even found that individuals who contracted
COVID-19 but received the flu shot were less likely to require treatment
from an emergency department or intensive care unit.
Also, if you fall within the CDC’s recommendations for COVID-19
boosters, you should consider getting both at the same time as a
convenient way to protect yourself and others from flu and COVID this
season.
The benefits of increased immunization provided by both the flu and
COVID-19 vaccinations can also help ease the burden on an already
overloaded health care system. Around the country, there have been
heartbreaking reports of full intensive care units having to turn away sick
patients. Protecting yourself against the flu is one way you can help to
relieve health care providers and frontline workers.

2. Practice Healthy Hygiene: Continue to practice healthy hygiene habits

like washing your hands regularly and wearing a mask when appropriate.
This means wearing a mask while shopping indoors, or attending an
indoor event with a crowd of people.

3. Stay Home When Sick: Stay home and avoid contact with others if you
aren’t feeling well. Many of the symptoms of COVID-19 and flu look alike—
including fever, cough, muscle aches and sore throat—and knowing the
difference can only be done through testing. Get tested if you develop any
of these symptoms to rule out COVID-19, since its symptoms can often
become more serious.
“The best thing you can do to help yourself, your family, and your
community is to get both the flu shot and COVID-19 vaccine, as well as a
COVID-19 booster if you are eligible and to practice healthy hygiene
habits,” says Dr. Steve Miller, chief clinical officer, Cigna Corp. “The only
way out of the pandemic is by working together and taking steps to protect
ourselves and each other.”

ON A DIME
Bewitching
Charcuterie
Board on a
Budget
BY PATTI DIAMOND
It’s a continuing hot trend in easy
holiday entertaining — charcuterie
boards overflowing with wonderful
nibbly-noshy goodies.
A charcuterie (shahr-KU-tuh-ree)
board is essentially a lavish meat,
cheese and cracker board. While it’s
easy to drop a bucket of cash going
“overboard” with this entertaining
trend, you can create an Instagram-
worthy board and still have money
for rent. Here are some rules for
success.
Rule 1 — There are no rules. Put
whatever you like on your board.
Rule 2 — Don’t go crazy! As
tempting as it is; you don’t need 25
different items on your board. It’s
better to have a generous quantity
of affordable items than tiny
portions of high-priced offerings.
Rule 3 — Spend wisely. Be
conservative with costly items like
meats and cheeses and liberal with
low-cost items like bread and fruit.
For a hearty appetizer, plan on 2
ounces of meat and 3 ounces of
cheese per person.
Rule 4 — Shop your pantry first

1/2 cup of duck fat, or more for frying
Directions:
1.Using a box grater or a food processor with the
shredding disk, grate potatoes and onion alternatively.
Transfer mixture onto a thin, clean dish towel; gather
the corners and holding it over a large bowl, squeeze
out as much liquid as possible. Don’t discard the
liquid yet and let it sit for 2 minutes to let the starch
settle to the bottom. A couple minutes later, discard
the liquid but keep the starch deposit.
2.Put the potato mixture in the bowl. To this add
beaten eggs, matzo meal, flour, salt, freshly ground
black pepper and parsley; stir until well combined and
set aside. In a large cast iron pan over medium-high,
heat oil and duck fat until it reaches 350ºF.
Meanwhile, using a ¼ cup measuring cup, portion the
potato mixture and flatten them down to about ½-inch
thick.
3. When oil reaches the right temperature, gently
place the latkes making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry them until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side
flipping them carefully. When cooked, transfer them to a wire rack
sitting on a baking sheet lined with paper towel. If making a large batch,
keep latkes in the oven at 170ºF.
