On May 5, the Redford Branch of the Detroit Public Library closed for renovation. Although the library is closed for the next several months, there will be a lot of activity inside the library. According to assistant branch manager, youth librarian and Rosedale Park resident Conja Wright, there are a lot of improvements in the works. “The carpeting will be removed and replaced with tile in the public areas, new, lower shelving will replace the tall shelves which will open up the main room to natural light, and the number of computers will double and move to the center of the main room.” For the month of May, the librarians will be looking more closely at their collection, discussing the removal of books that haven’t been checked out for seven years to make room for more, and more recent publications. An African-American reading and research collection will also be added which will feature books on African-American history, culture and art, children’s books and a research collection for use as reference in the library. There will even be artwork and artifacts such as a king’s stool, a helmet, crown and dolls on display.
If you came to the first Grandmont Rosedale SOUP last summer, you will remember that Conja’s meditation and reading garden for the library project won. The plans for the garden are well underway with eight organic raised beds. Starting in early June Conja welcomes volunteers to help develop the garden and is particularly interested in gathering “an intergenerational group of volunteers” because she strongly believes that “so much learning goes on” when people of different ages work together. Volunteers of all ages are encouraged to come to the library garden Tuesdays from 10am-12pm and Thursdays from 3-5pm until the end of July. The hope is that the garden will be an outdoor library space appropriate for storytelling and spoken word performances.

5 Anti-Inflammatory Foods that Reduce Mucus, Phlegm and Snot
Whenever my nose gets stuffy and my cough a little phlegm-like, I realize it is time to clean up my diet with some anti-inflammatory foods. Mucus is produced in the body as a defense mechanism against toxins, viruses and bacteria and dually cushions and protects the bodies cells in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, urogenital, visual and auditory systems in humans.
So, while mucus is important in our day-to-day bodily functions, when you start to notice its existence, you’re body’s defenses are up against something and it’s time for you to help them out. The following 5 anti-inflammatory foods help to reduce mucus in your system and restore your body’s balance.
1. Pumpkin Seeds
Traditional Chinese medicine utilizes pumpkin seeds help to regulate the flow of excess mucus. Whether this is sound advice or not is up to your own trial and error, and there is little to lose in the process, as pumpkin seeds carry plenty of other health benefits.
2. Onion
In one study, evidence showed that quercetin, a compound found in onions, may help treat cell-derived allergic inflammatory diseases. In addition to reducing inflammation, quercetin has also exhibited the potential for treating chronic airway diseases by attenuating mucus production.
3. Ginger
Ginger has been shown strengthen the immune system’s response to inflammation associated with asthma. Ginger is a panacea of sorts and is a powerful detoxifying agent that targets the underlying imbalances that lead to mucus overload in the body. It is a detoxificant at heart and an effective one at that.
4. Pineapple
The pineapple fruit may be rough on the outside, but it bears sweet benefits beneath the skin. Pineapple’s bromelain allows it to reduce mucus in the throat and is commonly used as a technique after throat and sinus operations to get rid of mucus.
5. Agar
Agar moistens dryness, dissolves phlegm and mucus in the throat and helps to jumpstart bowels.

There’s no doubt about it: you’ve made the decision to eat healthy. The only question that remains is what exactly eating healthy means. Organic, free-range, natural, local… and alkaline? Believe it or not, that pH scale you learned all about in high school should be finding its way into your diet: it’s time to talk acid or alkaline when it comes to food.
Why You Need More Alkalizing Foods
Several diets highlight the alkaline-acid discrepancy; what it boils down to is this: most people need not worry about not having enough acidity in their diet. The vast majority of foods we eat every day are acidic: meat, cheese, dairy… all of these foods and many more are metabolized by our bodies as acidic. Including important alkaline foods in your diet involves a bit more planning.
All of which begs one all-important question: why?
Before talking about how to introduce alkaline foods into your diet, you may be asking why you should even bother. Good question, with an even better answer. A highly acidic diet lends itself to decay of the body, particularly the bones and muscles. Some studies point to the naturally high-acid diet of the Eskimo as one principal factor why this group suffers from such low bone density. In Japan, bone density is, on average, much higher; the Japanese diet naturally includes a variety ofalkaline foods.
It bears mention that many proponents of alkaline-heavy diets cite other benefits to such a diet. These include but are not limited to acid reflux and high blood acidity. While an alkaline diet has been proven to help with the former, certain recent studies have deduced that blood acidity is not affected by diet on a long-term basis. Blood, being a naturally acidic substance, self-regulates, and while a highly alkaline diet can change the pH of blood for a period of time, the effects are far from permanent.
How to Add Alkaline
At this point, you may have already started making a mental list of alkaline foods… or so you think. The acidity and alkalinity of the food in question is not always linked to the makeup of the food itself. Lemon, for example, may taste highly acidic, but the way that it is broken down in the body is actually alkaline.
The following foods are alkaline when metabolized in the body. Including more of them in your diet is a great way to start.
“Not everyone wants
to be self-employed, and voluntarily leaving a job in today’s economy can sound
as crazy as burning provisions in a famine,” she said.
This is a how-to book
with a lot of useful takeaways. Palmer says the most successful side businesses have these characteristics:
● Low start-up costs.
“As side-giggers showed me over and over again, there’s no need to spend big before you start earning.”
● Fits well with your
full-time work and doesn’t pose a conflict, “which usually means they can be done on your own schedule,” she writes.
● Takes advantage of
your skill set.
● The hustle is fun.
It can’t be just about the money.
Don’t underestimate
this last point. How many side businesses have you failed at because you didn’t really like the job? Do you really want to stuff envelopes or take online
surveys?
Palmer says to ask
yourself these questions:
● Which fields are
growing?
● Which problems can
I solve?
● Can I realistically
get paid to do what I like?
So can you create
“hybrid income” for yourself? To help you see the possibility, Palmer
introduces you to hustling entrepreneurs who are cake bakers, home organizers
and video editors. She talks about her own entrepreneurial venture that she
operates on an e-commerce Web site.
Palmer walks you
through various business issues, such as figuring out what business to create, finding a place to sell your goods or services, branding, marketing and making
the time to do it all. You’ll find exercises and worksheets.
Not sure where to
start? She’s got an appendix with the top 50 side gigs. She describes the jobs best suited for certain individuals and lists the resources needed to get
started.
I also love that she
lists the entrepreneurs mentioned in the book and their side businesses and how you can reach them. Among the side-giggers is a social-media manager who has a
career blog, an instrument repairer who does voiceovers and a graphic designer
who is a classical singer. What a lovely way to expose these entrepreneurs to
more business.
One thing that drove
Palmer to write the book is that many people she talked to said their side
business helped them have peace of mind. Having the extra money and knowing you
can make a
way for yourself should you lose your main job “can feel a little
more stable even in an economy
that isn’t.”

Want something different to happen? Then do something different!
Ok, we're adding to the mix. We've got news and info on health and fitness, now we're adding a little
financial info as well. Who couldn't use more money?? And we all probably need advice on managing what we have a little better.
Palmer, senior money
editor and consumer blogger at U.S. News & World Report, argues that in a
world of zero job security, you need to create a stream of income in addition
to your regular 9-to-5 job.
“Relying solely on a
single employer is a sure-fire way to end up struggling, as so many Americans
do,” Palmer writes.
Palmer is pretty
pessimistic about the American job market.
“Those of us lucky
enough to hold on to our jobs face pay cuts, benefit reductions and longer
hours, along with the unsettling feeling that those jobs could disappear at any
moment.” And she adds, “We can’t pretend that our employers have our best
interests in mind or even that they will continue being our employers for much
longer.”
This should strike
fear in anyone’s heart, especially as we continue to see reports about how long
it takes for many people to find work after they’ve lost a job. Palmer cites a
Gallup survey that found that many workers worry about being laid off or fear a
reduction in benefits. But as my niece, who is a therapist in New York, likes
to remind me, “Feelings aren’t facts.”
Unemployment is still
too high, but millions of people have built a good life just working for
others, and many will continue to do so. Yet Palmer has a point. You can help
control your financial fate by creating income that is independent of your day
job. There are so many side-gig options, especially with the Internet and
social media.
“Not everyone wants
to be self-employed, and voluntarily leaving a job in today’s economy can sound
as crazy as burning provisions in a famine,” she said.
This is part 1 of the article, come back next month to read the part 2 which will include some of the characteristics most successful side businesses have.

1300 Lafayette East (Theatrical Production)
General Motors Theater - Detroit
The summer of 1967 in Detroit was hot, but no one suspected how hot it would get. At 1300 Lafayette East, downtown Detroit’s newest high-rise, this beautiful building is a symbol of integrated urban living for the Motor City. High above the streets, one could forget the tensions building in the city. Home to Elly, a young Jewish housewife wishing for something new in her life, and Renna, an aspiring young Motown singer hoping for her big break, these women forge a friendship that causes them to see the world in very different ways. Can their friendship withstand the explosion yet to come on July 23rd, 1967?
Date and Times
Public performances for 1300 Lafayette East will begin Thursday, March 6 and run through Sunday, March 30. The regular performance schedule, running through March 30, will be Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday at 3:30 p.m. The play will be performed at the General Motors Theatre, at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, . Regular tickets range from $25.50 and 32.00. Discounts are available for students with ID and seniors over 65.

SPARE CHANGE Returns
A Dramatic and Soul-stirring Stage Play for the entire family.
This original story sheds light on the epidemic of homelessness in America and how we often take it for granted. After all, aren’t we all just a paycheck away from being homeless?Spare Change follows the life of an old dirty homeless man who begs for spare change and goes by the name of the same.
While we look and sometimes even laugh at his situation there’s something different about him that separates him from the average “bum.” His faith in God despite his circumstances and his determination to see the “light at the end of the tunnel” makes him more than just another bum on the streets. His life becomes an example to the world of what it is to have “gratitude.”
