❶Evidently, colonialism and the power dynamics it entails are too convoluted to be contained within a single straightforward point of view.
There were three wars between the British oppressors and the Burmese. There was the first Anglo-Burmese War in , and then the second in That was the shot that did it for him. Finally staying down after the third shot the elephant still lives, just as the Burmese people are still there but with less strength and hope after the wars. They are now controlled by the British. But still he knows the truth to be false. The elephant could have been saved without unnecessary harm but Orwell chose the latter.
Orwell uses other metaphors such as when he compares himself to being a magician about to perform a trick, or as being a lead actor in a piece, and even an absurd puppet, a posing dummy, and to be wearing a mask. Even being a white man, the authority, it was even more expected. It is then Orwell claims he realizes the true position of whites in the East and how Imperialism hurts not only the victims but the oppressors.
Orwell explains how when the white man turns tyrant it is their own freedom they destroy. Being the white man, Orwell says, they constantly must impress the natives and do what the natives expect of them. The natives have the control of the white man. Thus Orwell must complete his role, what is expected of him, and do definite things.
Orwell realizes that throughout his entire rule in Burma he is actually the victim of the Burmese, and it is their expectations of what he should do with his power that force him to do what they want. Orwell mentioned himself to be like an actor in a play. The Burman crowd behind him, the audience.
He describes the feeling to be like theatre curtains finally opening to a waiting spectators. He makes many comparisons that demonstrate his weakness in character. He is puppet being controlled. Once again, the Burmese appear to wield power over Orwell, subverting the colonial hierarchy. The crowd reaches the rice paddies, and Orwell spots the elephant standing next to the road.
The animal is calmly eating grass. He makes up his mind to simply watch the elephant to make sure it does not become aggressive again, and does not plan on harming it. Just as he empathizes with the oppressed Burmese, Orwell recognizes that the elephant is a peaceful creature that has been driven to rebellion by its mistreatment.
Because it is both a harmless animal and a valuable piece of property, it is clear that there is no ethical or practical reason to hurt the elephant.
Note that for the British all of Burma was essentially a valuable piece of property—another metaphorical link between the elephant and colonialism. However, after he makes this decision, Orwell glances back at the crowd behind him. Orwell feels as though he is a magician tasked with entertaining them, and realizes that he is now compelled to shoot the elephant. Orwell reneges on his ethical and practical conclusions almost as quickly as he makes them.
By being placed in front of a crowd, Orwell has been forced to take on a performative persona that makes him act counter to every reasonable impulse he has. Orwell, the imperialist, cannot do anything other than what the Burmese expect him to do. He entertains the possibility of doing nothing and letting the elephant live, but concludes that this would make the crowd laugh at him.
His entire mission as a colonialist, he says, is not to be laughed at—thus, sparing the elephant is not an option. In this crucial moment of the story, Orwell articulates the paradox of colonialism. By limiting the freedom of others, the British have actually forced themselves to adopt a limited, exaggerated role in order to maintain their grip on authority—and thus limited their own freedoms far more sharply. He cannot tolerate mistreatment from the Burmese, even though he understands that he, as a colonist, is in the wrong.
It is deeply ironic, and tragic, that Orwell is compelled to entrench himself further in barbarism, simply because he feels that propriety dictates that he do so. That is the paradox of colonialism—that colonial propriety comes to force the colonizer to act barbarously. Still, Orwell does not want to kill the beast. Moreover, killing an elephant is a waste of an expensive commodity. The locals tell Orwell that the elephant has kept to itself, but may charge if provoked.
Orwell decides that the best way to handle the situation would be to approach the elephant to test its temperament and only harm the animal if it behaved aggressively. However, to do this would endanger Orwell, and worse still, he would look like an idiot if the elephant maimed him in front of the natives.
Unfortunately, his desire not to be laughed at trumps his other motivations—in fact, he is more afraid of humiliation—and perhaps of the way that humiliation might impact the local's sense of him as an authority figure—than he is of physical harm! It is clear that the conventions of imperialism make Orwell feel compelled to perform a particular inhumane and irrational role.
In spite of his reasoned introspection, he cannot resist the actions that the role forces him to make in order to display his power.
There is only one thing Orwell can do. He loads the gun, lies on the road, and takes aim at the elephant. The crowd sighs in anticipation. The crowd roars in excitement, and the elephant appears suddenly weakened.
After a bit of time, the elephant sinks to its knees and begins to drool. Orwell fires again, and the elephant does not fall—instead, it wobbles back onto its feet. A third shot downs the elephant. As it tumbles to the ground, however, it trumpets and appears to grow even larger, and its fall shakes the earth on which Orwell lies.
It is particularly notable that the elephant appears to be at its most magnificent just as it falls. The elephant lies on the ground, breathing laboriously. Orwell waits for it to die, but it continues to breathe. He fires at its heart, but the elephant hardly seems to notice the bullets. Orwell is distressed to see the elephant laboring to die, clearly in agonizing pain, so he fires his smaller-caliber rifle into its body countless times.
These bullets do nothing; the elephant continues to breathe torturously. He is later told that the elephant took a half hour to die. Shortly thereafter, the Burmese stripped the meat off its bones. He does not even know enough about marksmanship—or elephants—to kill the elephant painlessly. In the same way, the British empire is inhumane not out of necessity, but rather out of reactionary ignorance regarding both the land it has colonized and the pernicious way that colonization acts on both the colonized and the colonizer.
Orwell notes that he is lucky the elephant killed a man, because it gave his own actions legal justification. Those harmed by the violence are either silenced—like the elephant—or lack recourse—like its owner.

    while knot <= knotter_width:

            color_to_send.append(baft["knotters"][i][lay][knot])

        # send color numbers

        # receive color feedback

        if knot < knotter_width:
            knot = knot + 1
        else:

        self.progress.emit(knot)
        self.gui_update.emit()

    self.finish.emit(True)

    # send finish order

    #reveive finish feedback

    self.ex.emit()

and this setting up the thread:
    self.thrd = QThread()
    self.worker = Worker()
    self.worker.moveToThread(self.thrd)
    self.thrd.started.connect(lambda: self.worker.run(self.knot, self.lay, self.baft))
    self.worker.progress.connect(self.progress)
    self.worker.gui_update.connect(self.knotters_status)
    self.worker.finish.connect(self.finished)
    self.worker.ex.connect(self.thrd.quit)
    self.worker.ex.connect(self.worker.deleteLater)
    self.thrd.finished.connect(self.thrd.deleteLater)

    self.thrd.start()

A: After somedays of research i found this solution:
At first you have to write class and inherit from QThread class and then reimplement run method with signals and slots then after that you have create object from that class and just after that you should call processEvents() method referring to your QApplication object. In this situation it doesn't cause slowing down and it's work perfectly for mopre detail you can refer to my another question and answer which you can click Here

The index lists names, dates, places, and the event or role of the person listed. Some people appear on two or more occasions, for instance, those solicitors who acted as professional executors to estates.
Place – As given – some entries refer to a town or village, others give a full address. If a street name is shown in the index, then the place is probably in the Middlesex or Surrey area of London.
County – The "Chapman" County Codes are used for counties in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. LND refers to the City of London.
Event / Role – Generally, these are self-explanatory, but for some an explanation is given below to aid understanding of the index.
Death – Death or burial with dates. Most entries will include an address.
Change of name – By Deed Poll or by means of advertisement in the London Gazette. Both names given and indexed. Most entries will include an address.
Exec – This may be an Executor, Administrator, or Legatee. In some cases a relationship to the deceased is given. The date given is that of probate or administration. Some entries will include an address.
Reg'r / Clergy – This is used where it is not clear from the original book whether the individual was a civil registrar or a clergyman. A few of these entries will include addresses.
Recipient – This is the person to whom the documents were sent by the Railway Company. In some cases, an individual has signed for the receipt of the documents, and their signature appears in the volume; however, some signatures are unclear and have not been included in the index. Half the entries will include addresses.
Declaration – These are the names of people who have made a declaration that, for example, John Smith is the same person as John Arthur Smith. The date given is the date on which the declaration was made.
Joint holder – These are people who held shares in partnership. Most entries will include an address.
Fol – Some early volumes do not have printed folio numbers on the top left and right corners, but number have been assigned.
Entry – From volume 1 to 24, a single set of numbers was used, but thereafter each volume has its own series starting at 1. Where numbers are duplicated, these are differentiated by a suffix e.g. 349/1, 349.2. Where the original has a suffix this is in the form of a letter e.g. 350.a.
Col – The column number has ben inserted as a guide to locating the name quickly when searching the books.
Occupations are given for about 75% of the individual shareholders, but with a large number being "Gentleman", "Widow" or "Spinster"; at an early stage in the work, it was decided to omit occupation from the index.
Why should I be interested in the original documents?
It is always advisable in family history, wherever possible, to view original documents and records rather than relying on transcriptions. Not only does this practice ensure the accuracy of your research, as you can see an entry for yourself, but it also allows you to understand the record in context.
Viewing the original document will give you the full address of the proprietor, executor(s), and recipient where these were available, as well as additional notes. The scanned images will give all the entries on a particular folio.
Due to the fragility of the original books, these cannot be consulted at the Library of the Society of Genealogists.
What is the Great Western Railway shareholders index?
This is not an index of railway staff, but of shareholders in the railway. The Society of Genealogists produced its Great Western Railway (GWR) Shareholders Index from ledgers created by the Great Western Railway that are now in the Society's possession. The GWR's original ledgers were compiled by the company for transactions relating to all shareholdings that changed hands other than by simple sale.
The GWR called the ledgers Probate Books, which reflects the fact that the great majority of such share transfers (approximately 95%) were as a result of the death of a shareholder and their shares changing hands during the administration of the deceased's estate. The proportion of the GWR's total number of shareholders included in the Society of Genealogists' GWR Shareholders Index is not known but is estimated to be between 50% and 75%; this is because the railway shares were regarded as gilt-edged stock to be held for the long term.
The index currently contains details for approximately 440,000 individuals, with a total number of 570,464 records and 153,569 events entered into the registers. A record is an entry for an individual in the database, including not just shareholders but executors, beneficiaries and others involved in the transfer of shareholdings. An event is a disposal of a shareholder under a will or an intestacy following death, or otherwise than by simple sale during the lifetime of the shareholder.
These records have been contributed by the Society of Genealogists (SoG). You can learn more about the Society of Genealogists by following the link found in the Useful Links & Resources section.
The Great Western Railway, also known affectionately as "God's Wonderful Railway", was built to link London to the West Country, South Wales and the South West of England. Bristol merchants were desperate for effective transport links to London, to prevent the emergence of Liverpool as the country's second port.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel was the engineer on the project, personally surveying the route. He was also a shareholder and appears in the Index following his death in 1859.

Born in Berlin, Germany, Gabriel has had a very culturally split upbringing. With heavy influence from his mother's Californian roots, he has essentially lived as an American growing up in Berlin — attending the bilingual John-F.-Kennedy School and surrounding himself with friends of various backgrounds. Since the age of 5, Gabriel has been passionate about writing and recording music, teaching himself numerous instruments, obtaining a bachelor's in music production, and collaborating with countless artists. Whatever the task, he stays motivated by reminding himself why he enjoys doing it. Nerding out about the details in music production and cinematography has led him to helm a wide range of music and video projects. He is currently working towards establishing Atlas Creative, a multimedia creative agency, alongside producing his own project as an artist. He's obsessed with aesthetics and authenticity in the creative process. Through modeling, he's particularly interested in exploring the boundaries between masculinity and femininity in his own self-expression. He hopes his artistry will one day be able to move many souls.

Susan DeVere has been rapped by the advertising watchdog for giving the winner of her property raffle a cash prize rather than the promised £2.5m castle. In this interview from 2018, she talks about her Scottish mansion and explains why she decided to give it away.
Some inherit stately homes; others spot them in the pages of Country Life and fall in love with them. The latter is just what happened to Susan DeVere, a writer from London who, in 2003, bought Orchardton Castle, a 45-room Scottish baronial mansion, 20 miles from Dumfries in southern Scotland.
Now, after 15 years of country life, complete with her flock of sheep, dogs, and a coterie of friends and relatives, DeVere is selling.

Lila Rose, the founder of Live Action, will be a featured speaker at the upcoming Divine Mercy conference in Bronx, N.Y.
'In Her Footsteps'
Veronica and Liliana (daughter and mother) have made a vow to work for pro-life causes.
By Felix Carroll (Feb 15, 2011)
When the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception host the 6th Annual Divine Mercy Conference on March 26, in Bronx, N.Y., among the crowd will be a 13-year-old New Jersey girl named Veronica Cabrera.
While many her age find inspiration in pop stars and the latest Hollywood movies geared toward teens, Veronica is inspired by one of the conference speakers, Lila Rose (pictured above), the founder of Live Action, a youth-led anti-abortion organization based in California.
Lila, a student at UCLA, has led numerous undercover stings that expose alleged corruption and illegal activity within Planned Parenthood.
"My mom first showed me a picture of Lila Rose on the cover of a pro-life magazine," Veronica says. "I admire her because of her motivation to fight for what she believed in at such a young age. It takes a lot of courage and dedication to do what she did, and her story is very inspiring. I do hope to follow in her footsteps by fighting for the unborn in whatever way God calls me to."
A Powerful Lineup
The conference, co-sponsored by the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and the Marians, has become a signature event in the Marians' efforts to spread the message of The Divine Mercy. Featured speakers include not only Lila, but also Fr. Benedict Groeschel, CFR, Fr. Joseph Roesch, MIC, Fr. Frank Pavone, MEV, Msgr. James Lisante, Fr. Bernard Murphy, CFR, and Auxiliary Bishop Martin D. Holley.
"Each year, with a prestigious lineup of spiritual leaders who are advocates for the message of The Divine Mercy, we provide a real strong spiritual experience," said Ed Miller, a friend of the Marians and the conference organizer. "These speakers show in their work how to bring Divine Mercy to the public life."
Last year, more than 1,200 people from throughout the region attended the conference. That included both young, old and in between.
Eyes Open to Horrors of Abortion
Veronica, a student at St. John the Apostle in Clark, N.J., will certainly fall at the young end of the age spectrum at this year's conference. She was first inspired by the pro-life movement at the age of 10.
"The first time I heard about the horrors of abortion was when I visited the tomb of the unborn child at Franciscan University of Steubenville, in Ohio," she said. "I asked my mom why the tomb was there, and she explained to me what abortion was. I cried there that day. It was so sad. I wondered how anyone could do that to a baby."
Veronica's mother, Liliana Soto-Cabrera, recalls how that experience led to a family discussion about life, abortion, contraception, chastity, and even Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body.
"She later asked, 'Mom, what are you doing about it (abortion)?'" recalls Liliana, who works for the Archdiocese of Newark, N.J. "'... Something needs to be done!'
"She said it with such conviction and passion that I almost felt like running out the door then and there to do something about it," Liliana says.
Veronica then said, "Wait and see, I'm going to do something big!"
A Youth Infusion
Since that experience three years ago, Liliana has made it a point to attend the annual March For Life with her husband and Veronica, and she keeps abreast with the latest news in the pro-life movement and shares information through Facebook and other avenues.
"I was very impressed when [Veronica] challenged me to do more for the pro-life cause," Liliana says. "She, herself, mentioned that she wanted to do something 'big.' I am not sure what exactly that will be, but we will keep listening to God's call."
Veronica has been channeling her passion for the pro-life cause for about three years now, including explaining to her friends what abortion is. "Many are not aware," she says.
Fresh from the recent March for Life in Washington, D.C., Veronica says she's encouraged seeing so many young people being so passionate about ending abortion.
"I believe it would cause more of an effect to put an end to abortion having more young people fighting for the cause than anything," she says. "After all, younger people do have more energy and determination to fight harder for what they believe in."
A Role Model
In Lila Rose, Veronica has discovered a role model.
Lila has certainly done big things for the Lord. Most famously, she has led undercover stings through Live Action that cast a hard light upon Planned Parenthood, the nation's number one abortion provider.
"I have not yet attended any of her speaking engagements," Veronica says, "but I have seen videos of her being interviewed on YouTube, and I have visited her website, liveaction.org. The Divine Mercy conference will hopefully be the first of many. ... Meeting her would be such an honor."
We'll see you in the Bronx, Veronica.
If you're interested in attending the 6th Annual Divine Mercy Conference on March 26, you can register now.

Toss the pumpkin with olive oil and salt and place in a single layer on a sheet tray and bake in the oven until soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and reserve.
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water.
Drop the broccoli rabe into the pot of boiling water, swirl it around, remove from the water, and immediately plunge into the salty ice water. Reserve the boiling water to cook the pasta in. Remove the broccoli rabe from the ice water, squeeze out excess water, and reserve.
Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and add the pancetta and crushed red pepper. Bring the pan to a medium heat and cook the pancetta until brown and crispy. When the pancetta is brown and crispy add the roasted squash and about 3/4 cup of the broccoli rabe cooking water. Simmer until the water reduces by half.
Add the orecchiette to the reserved boiling broccoli rabe water and cook until the pasta is al dente, about 1 minute less than the cooking time says on the box.
Remove the pasta from the water and add to the pan with the pancetta and squash. Add the broccoli rabe and about a 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Cook until the water has evaporated and the sauce clings to the pasta. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the grated Parmigiana. Toss or stir vigorously.
Divide the pasta between 2 serving dishes, sprinkle with a little more grated parm, and top with toasted green pumpkin seeds.


By working at different jobs across the country and in different fields, I realized how difficult it is to find a balance between my job and my life. I've had many managers, and even taken on the role myself. It's become clear to me that the attitude and style of leadership in any given work environment has the largest impact on the entire team's ability to find a balance between personal and professional responsibilities. These are the key actions any leader can take to work towards a healthier balance for themselves and employees.
Nobody wants to be that person who leaves before the boss. Set reasonable working hours for staff- and stick to them yourself. Deadlines may make the occasional late stay necessary, but it shouldn't be the norm. If you leave at a regular time, it encourages employees to form a stable schedule. Having a stable schedule improves quality of life for both you and your people by allowing everyone to account for personal needs.
Leaving at a reasonable hour may seem like an unreasonable feat. Without clearly set and stated priorities, it's easy to get distracted by lesser tasks. Priorities may shift as work develops, but there should always be a hierarchy of what is most pressing. Don't get bogged down by minor details that are low on the priority list.
Communication is the single most important aspect of any functional office, and not just when it comes to creating a work-life balance. Regularly schedule brief meetings to go over priorities and any current problems or concerns for employees. Show your willingness to assist and make yourself available for employees to approach for any questions that may arise.
In most work settings, there are two extremes in management style- the micromanager who wants to oversee every task, and the totally hands-off manager who assumes everything will get done without any direction. Neither management style tends to work. Ideally, a good manager will assign tasks with deadlines, and be available for questions along the way. They might also check on the progress of projects prior to deadlines to make sure staff members are on schedule, but will do so without hovering. It's a fine line, but the best practice is to trust employees are capable unless they give you reason not to.
There's a scene in Office Space where Peter, the film's hero, just knows his boss Lumbergh is going to ask him to work over the weekend. He can sense it from the start of the week, and even devises a plot to leave 15 minutes early on Friday so that Lumbergh won't have the chance to ask. Unfortunately Lumbergh catches Peter on Friday just before his escape. This situation should never happen. Anytime additional work arises, you need to communicate it to staff as early as possible. By also prioritizing and keeping open lines of communication, it will keep staff informed and avoid additional work surprises.
Just as you need to manage expectations with staff, employees need to manage expectations at home. This doesn't mean employees should spend hours on the phone during the day, but occasional calls, texts or emails allow workers the freedom to check in with family and keep them informed of any changes to schedule, or even current working mood.
Don't expect employees to always be on call.
To have a work life balance, there needs to be a separation between home life and the office. Nobody can be expected to be on call at all hours. Set boundaries between office hours and working hours. This is another great example of where to lead by example. If you're answering emails at 2am, they'll feel obliged to do the same. If you as a manager decide to check your emails at night, unless it's incredibly time-sensitive, save responses as draft emails and send out first thing in the morning.
It's called work for a reason. Except for the select few, most people would rather not be in the office during the day. It's helpful to recognize this with the occasional team lunch or optional drink after work to show your appreciation.

Here they come!
Thousands of Black students leave Chicago for Gary and other segregated districts
THE SANDERS FAMILY moved from a two-bedroom apartment on the West Side of Chicago to a single-family home in Gary, Ind., in 2013. (Photo by JOSÉ Alejandro Corcoles)
By Kalyn Belsha, Special to the Crusader from the Chicago Reporter
When Chicago Public Schools announced plans to close their neighborhood elementary school in March 2013, Lettrice Sanders and her children protested the proposal together.
Sanders, the president of the local school council at Emmet on the city's West Side, became a familiar face in the media. "My momma, when she talked on the news, she was fierce," her 16-year-old daughter, Brittany, recalls.
Lettrice and her husband, Kenneth Sanders, didn't finish high school. She wouldn't let the closures disrupt their children's education.
But Emmet and 48 other elementary schools closed in an unprecedented decision for Chicago and any district in the nation. Sanders had a hard time finding another quality school for her children in Austin, the majority African-American neighborhood where they lived.
She had other concerns too. The family of seven was squeezed into a two-bedroom apartment because that was all they could afford. And that year, gunfire killed or injured nearly 60 people in Austin.
So in August 2013 Kenneth Sanders decided it was time to go.
The family packed their bags for Gary, Indiana, a predominantly Black city where the schools struggled academically and financially, but Sanders could afford a house for his children in a safer neighborhood.
"I knew coming to a new state would be a new start for us all, and it was," he said. "Most of us, no matter how bad we came up… wanted our kids to live better. That's something I wanted for them."
Chicago was once a major destination for African-Americans during the Great Migration, but experts say today the city is pushing out poor Black families. In less than two decades, Chicago lost one-quarter of its Black population, or more than 250,000 people.
In the past decade, Chicago's public schools lost more than 52,000 Black students. Now, the school district, which was majority Black for half a century, is on pace to become majority Latino. Black neighborhoods like Austin have experienced some of the steepest student declines and most of the school closures and budget cuts.
A common refrain is that Chicago's Black families are "reverse migrating" to Southern cities with greater opportunities, like Atlanta and Dallas. But many of the families fleeing the poorest pockets of Chicago venture no farther than the south suburbs or northwest Indiana. And their children end up in cash-strapped segregated schools like the ones they left behind, a Chicago Reporter investigation found.
About 15,000 students from the city's predominantly poor and Afri- can-American schools transferred out of CPS over the past eight academic years, yet remained in Illinois, according to an examination of tens of thousands of state transfer records. About one-third enrolled in school districts that are both majority poor and majority Black.
The Reporter observed this trend continue in northwest Indiana. A public records request to East Chicago public schools, for example, revealed nearly 400 African-American CPS students had transferred into the district since 2010. The overall number of Chicago transfers to northwest Indiana schools is likely much higher, but record-keeping inconsistencies make it difficult to determine precise numbers.
Often, the receiving school districts in Illinois and northwest Indiana were chronically underfunded. Research shows poor Black students in Illinois perform worse academically in such districts compared with Chicago.
Janice Jackson, the district's interim CEO, recalls talking to a West Side principal who was "baffled" when students transferred to lesser-quality schools outside the city. The issue needs to be studied more, she said.
"It's not one thing that drives any of this," says Jackson.
"It's a menu of disinvestment," says Elizabeth Todd-Breland, who teaches African-American history at the University of Illinois Chicago. "The message that public policy sends to Black families in the city is that we're not going to take care of you and if you just keep going away, that's OK."
Chicagoans flee to a hollowed-out Gary
When Brittany first moved to Gary, the abundance of abandoned buildings surprised her. "It looked deserted," she said.
Real-estate agents once marketed Gary as the "city of the century." As home of the world's largest steel mill, Gary employed tens of thousands of steel workers.
But in the 1950s and '60s, steel factories closed or modernized. Mass layoffs followed. Soon after, Gary elected its first African-American mayor and many white residents fled. Now, tens of thousands of buildings are vacant or blighted.
The Sanders family and other Black Chicagoans have sought refuge in a hollowed-out city.
Northwest Indiana is the top destination for African-Americans who leave Cook County but stay in the greater Chicago area. Since Brittany arrived in Gary, her grandmother, uncle and great-uncle have moved there, too.
Denise Comer Dillard, a lifelong Gary resident and the board president of a local charter school, first noticed the influx of cars with Illinois license plates in the 1990s and 2000s as Chicago tore down its public housing. "We had situations that it almost looked like locusts," she said.
Though enrollment in Gary's public school district is declining, it's taken in more than 1,300 Black students from out of state in the last four years, records show.
"I've never seen anything like this," says Terrance Little, the principal at the high school that Brittany and her 17-year-old brother, Ken, attend. "They transfer out just as quick as they transfer in… The kids that are here are so accustomed to kids moving back and forth."
At school, reminders of Chicago are everywhere. Brittany's closest friend is a transplant from the South Side. Another classmate transferred in this fall from a charter high school in North Lawndale run by Chicago's Noble network. Ken has a classmate who transferred in from a Noble high school in Pullman. Little, who requires every transfer student to meet with him, estimates 10 of every 100 out-of-district transfers to his school are from Chicago.
"Now, it's basically Chicago," said Terry Flowers, who moved to Gary to be closer to family in 2000 after living in Englewood and Roseland. Her son and younger brother attend high school with Brittany and Ken. "Everyone from Chicago is here."
Influx of poor Black students in suburban schools
As African-American families leave Chicago, the percentage of poor black students in the suburbs has grown dramatically, straining already cash-strapped school districts.
The Reporter looked at the 50 Illinois school districts most impacted by transfers from Chicago's predominantly poor, Black schools. Most districts were among the worst-funded in the state and have been shortchanged even more than CPS. (After years of debate, lawmakers overhauled Illinois' school funding law earlier this year. To correct inequities, the state soon will send more money to districts with higher-need students.)
High-poverty districts in northwest Indiana that took in many CPS transfers have also seen their budgets slashed in recent years after lawmakers rejiggered the state's school funding formula and also spent more on charter schools and private-school vouchers.
"If poverty is growing in their community and their property taxes and other budgets are stretched or declining, that makes it even harder to find the resources to address the need," said Elizabeth Kneebone, who has researched suburban poverty extensively for The Brookings Institution.
In the south suburbs, the nearly all-Black Dolton School District 149 has taken in hundreds of transfers from Chicago's low-income Black schools in recent years. Officials say the high transfer rate makes it hard to know how many teachers the small district of 2,800 needs. On top of that, the level of financial need has intensified with few new resources. Fifteen years ago, the district was about two-thirds low-income, but now nearly every student is poor. The students could be dealing with health or emotional issues. And many move around a lot, which causes children to fall behind academically.
"We need as much attention as the city schools because we have the same kinds of problems," said Jay Cunneen, the former superintendent who now advises the district on its finances. "We're overwhelmed by some of the needs the kids bring in."
Gary Orfield, who co-directs The Civil Rights Project at the University of California, Los Angeles, says attending poor segregated suburban schools can pose more challenges for students.
"Poor minority kids and families who end up in declining or dying suburbs are worse off in terms of the fact that they're very far away from where the economic growth is taking place," Orfield says. "They may be 30 miles away from where a really good job market is with almost no workable public transportation."
Some of the former Chicago students also end up in farther-flung suburbs.
Danville School District 118 is about 150 miles from downtown Chicago and it, too, has taken in hundreds of CPS students from segregated Black and poor schools. Just over half of all students were considered low-income 15 years ago, now more than three-quarters are. That's brought with it a host of additional student needs.
The district recently hired specialists from Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago to teach school staff about working with traumatized students and invested more money into summer school for struggling kids.
"Our children, they were hurting," said Superintendent Alicia Geddis. "We needed to retool."

Srinagar: Awami National Conference (ANC) leader and president Muzaffar Shah said that Article 35-A is like an irrevocable power of attorney and its can only be debated in the Constituent Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir.
According to KNS correspondent, addressing a press conference here, Shah said that majority in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are together today together on the issue of Article 35-A.
"Mainstream parties got together and separatists are voicing the same concerns," Shah said adding that "our citizenship rights will be affected if the article is scrapped.
"The article is like an irrevocable power of attorney. The best place to debate it is the Constituent Assembly. My request to mainstream leaders, Farooq Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti and revered Geelani is to support and come together for demanding revival of Constituent Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir which has powers as big as Parliament of India," he said.
"Our legislature does not have the power to deal with such items. Only Constituent Assembly has the powers and to revive that we have to go again to the people to seek votes for that.

Mary of Bethany
Posted on 2018-08-21 by Tim Mansfield
Just as Mary, Jesus' mother, parallels the role of John the Baptist, so Mary of Bethany parallels the role of John the Beloved.
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
— Luke 10:38–42
Christ with Martha and Maria by Henryk Siemiradzki, 1886
Most people are familiar with the story of Mary and Martha from the Gospel of Luke and it more or less explains itself. The polarity between Martha's busy-ness and Mary's attentive stillness are often used as analogies for the active life and the life of the contemplative. It's easy to see the parallel between John (as we described him in the Intro course, listening attentively to the heart of Jesus) and Mary – both still, both silent, both listening. There are differences in emphasis of course, and they are worth exploring.
Both Mary and Martha are very significant figures in the Gospel stories. They're the ones who ask Jesus to come and heal their brother Lazarus. They are both "myrrhbearers", involved with the preparation and burial of Jesus.
Mary, in particular, figures in a significant story in the Gospel of John.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, "Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year's wages." He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.
"Leave her alone," Jesus replied. "It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me."
— John 12:1–8
There are stories of Jesus being anointed by a woman in all four Gospels. In Matthew and Mark, the woman is unnamed and barely described. Luke has her as a "woman in that town who lived a sinful life…". Only John has Mary of Bethany.
For many Christians in the West, until recently, this has led to all these women being bundled together and conflated with Mary Magdalene, winding up with the conclusion that Mary was a prostitute. This conflation gives our featured image, Le parfum de Madeleine by James Tissot, c1886 – which depicts the Magdalene anointing Jesus feet, a scene that appears nowhere in the Bible. But I like Tissot, so I'm using it.
So, just for the record, Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene are different people (the clue is in the rest of their names). While I'm not interested in shaming sex workers, there's nothing to suggest either of them were prostitutes.
To return to the particular story – Mary uses nard, which is a medicine, a component of Temple incense and a burial perfume, to anoint the feet of Jesus. It seems like such an odd thing to do from where we stand. But just one chapter later, Jesus is washing his disciple's feet, which gives us a clue to one aspect of this moment.
When visiting, it would have been common for a servant to wash the feet of guests to take the dust off so they could relax. If the guest was an honoured one, it would have been common to also then oil their feet. Both the foot-washing and Mary's anointing invoke the image of the Household, which is one dimension of this moment. We are in the Household of God – the Temple unmoored from the physical building, but notice the social relations – Mary welcomes Jesus as an honoured guest by anointing his feet, then Jesus goes on to act as a servant towards all the disciples by washing everyone's feet. The normal hierarchies are disrupted and overturned.
Jesus himself references his impending death and burial, so a second dimension is the preparation for the end of his life.
Nard along with myrrh is an element of Ketoret, the Temple incense. Raising incense is a central feature of Temple liturgy and of all Christian liturgy. So, a third dimension is a connection to the Temple.
It's a rich image. Redolent with meaning. It takes Mary of Bethany beyond mirroring John in silent, attentive, contemplation and extends the connection toward the Temple, toward the Holy of Holies. Just as Mary Theotokos as the Throne does.
Those are some starting points, but I encourage you to contemplate the images and try some Lectio Divina on the texts and see how this might all open up for you.

The Order of the Sun of Peru (Spanish: Orden El Sol del Perú), formerly known as the Order of the Sun, is the highest award bestowed by the nation of Peru to commend notable civil and military merit. The award is the oldest civilian award in the Americas, first being established in 1821.
The Order was originally instituted on 8 October 1821 by General José de San Martín upon reaching Lima, to recognize those who had distinguished themselves in the campaign against the Spanish Royalists. It was discontinued four years later, after many grantees started to use the award as a nobility title, similar to the earlier Castile titles awarded by the colonial government. All such nobility titles were abolished by 1828.
The Order was re-established in 1921.
