Despite declining student enrollment in Chicago Public Schools and lingering concerns from neighborhood groups, the Chicago Board of Education on Wednesday narrowly approved a plan to purchase land and take the first steps toward building a proposed $120 million Near South Side high school.

The board voted 4-3 in support of buying property at 23rd Street and Wabash Avenue for $10.3 million to exchange with the Chicago Housing Authority, which would lease to the board a 1.7-acre site at 2450 S. State St. — once the site for the former Ickes Homes public housing complex — for the high school.

UN: Exclusion of Afghan girls from high schools ‘shameful’

19/09/2022Oktavina

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The United Nations on Sunday called for Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers to reopen schools to girls in grades 7-12, calling the anniversary of their exclusion from high school “shameful.”

The UN said it is concerned that the policy, together with other restrictions on basic freedoms, will contribute to a deepening of the country’s economic crisis in the form of greater insecurity, poverty and isolation.

A year after the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, hard-liners appear to hold sway

Homemade, Vinegar-Free Ketchup – JennifersKitchen

31/08/2022Oktavina

Have you ever checked the label on the ketchup bottle you get from the grocery store?

Ketchup (aka catsup or catchup) is typically made with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), vinegar, sugar, spices, and natural flavorings – all of which are damaging to our health.

Plus, commercially-available ketchup gets super processed to remove most or all of the fiber.

The results? A really unhealthful condiment.

How can you have ketchup without all these unhealthful ingredients? Make your own!

Why Make Homemade Ketchup?

With a homemade ketchup, you have control over what goes into it.
