Every year, millions of people try to quit smoking, and every year, millions fail. Smokers
try nicotine patches, inhalers, nasal spray, and gum to kick the habit. Some try quitting
cold turkey. Most will quit two or three times and return to the habit before quitting again
permanently. According to the Centers for Disease Control, most relapses occur within the
first three months.
Auriculotherapy treatment balances brain chemicals, that when out of balance, can
lead to addictions. The treatment is easy and cost effective, and could soon change the way we
treat smoking addictions. By tapping into certain points through he ear to the brain, chemicals
are balanced and cravings vanish immediately. One, pain free treatment is all that is usually
needed. Once you have the motivation, auriculotherapy can offer what willpower cannot -
PERMANENT SUCCESS!

These windows are something to look
at!
Brooklyn Public Library bigwigs
on Dec. 13 revealed a set of decorative
window screens that local teens created
to adorn panes of the system’s interim
Sunset Park branch.
The young adults — all of whom
participate in programs run by local
do-good group the Center for Family
Life — worked with professional architects
to craft the screens, which the library
system’s president said capture
the spirit of the ever-changing neighborhood.
“A successful library refl ects the
community it serves,” said Linda
Johnson. “We are delighted to present
the artwork of the student designers,
which captures their vision for
the neighborhood today and in the future.”
The exterior adornments feature
outlines of birds, trees, books, numbers,
and buildings made of corrugated
plastic, which are overlaid on
window screens made of wood and
scrim, a lightweight woven fabric.
Johnson and Sunset Park Councilman
Carlos Menchaca joined the
young Picassos and their mentors to
unveil the new screens at the interim
branch — which opened in May inside
a former courtroom in a now Police
Department–owned building at
Fourth Avenue and 43rd Street, which
also contains offi ces for the local community
board.
Five architects with Leroy Street
Studios — the Manhattan-based fi rm
that also designed the interim library
space — this summer worked with 15
Center teens for six weeks to design
and create the screens, which adorn
10 windows, reading-room rep Fritzi
Bodenheimer said.
And the teenagers’ passion for their
neighborhood clearly shines through
in the fi nished products, according to
a partner at the architectural fi rm.
“We are moved by the energy these
students brought to the project,” said
Shawn Watts. “Their work not only
embodies an element of curiosity and
joy but, inspired by the neighborhood
and their own experience, also creates
an imprint of Sunset Park itself.”
The main Sunset Park library at
Fourth Avenue and 51st Street in April
closed its doors to make way for a massive
redevelopment, which will result
in a branch roughly half the size of a
football fi eld, with a dedicated space
for teens, a community room, and
outlet-equipped tables when it opens
sometime in 2021, Bodenheimer said.
The new library building will also
boast 49 permanently affordable apartments
— including nine units earmarked
for domestic-abuse survivors
— above its stacks, she said.
Police Department brass will determine
the future of the interim space
once the main branch’s renovations
are complete, according to Bodenheimer,
who said that the students’
screens are intended only for the windows
at the temporary location.
