The University of Maine Shows How to Increase Its Student Population
By Dan Friedell
The number of students going to college in the U.S. has dropped by over one million since the spring of 2020. At that time, COVID-19 restrictions began going into effect everywhere in the U.S.
In addition, a number of U.S. states are finding they have fewer college-age young people than in the past. Maine, a state in the northeastern U.S., next to Canada, is one of those states.
A decreasing number of young people and the effects of COVID-19 measures make it difficult for large state universities to keep up their student numbers.
International students at the dinner with the university president during orientation at the University of Maine.
But, while universities in some states are having trouble bringing in new students, the University of Maine, in the city of Orono, is not.
This is the case although Maine is far away from most other states and has 10 percent fewer state high school graduates than 10 years ago.
During a time when fewer Americans are going to college, the University of Maine has been able to increase its number of undergraduate students by five percent. Why?
A recent story in the publication Hechinger Report said the University of Maine is ahead of other states in recruiting and retention measures.
The state is reducing the university's cost of attendance for students who come from other states and Canada. Because of scholarships and other financial aid, many students can go to Maine for the same price as a large university in their own state.
For example, the University of Maine is advertising in nearby Massachusetts. The ads say: "Go to the University of Maine for the in-state cost of UMass." UMass stands for the University of Massachusetts.
The university has about 12,000 students. While that seems like a lot, it is not nearly as many as big schools like Ohio State University, which has about 60,000. As a result, the school is trying to make a strong connection with both current and prospective students.
University leaders say they are trying to get to know all students who visit — even those who decide to go elsewhere.
Chris Richards is vice president of enrollment management. He said the school needs help from everyone to recruit the next class of students, not just the people who work in the admissions office. That was the old way.
"That model," he said, "isn't going to work anymore."
One part of the new way is for university professors and researchers to make presentations about their work at nearby high schools. Another is to make visitors feel welcome.
Richards described helping someone who seemed new to the school grounds find their way. "People want that," Richards said.
Em Jeffrey is a new student from the nearby state of New Hampshire. She said she noticed the difference between visiting Maine and visiting other schools.
"I definitely felt more welcomed. None of it felt forced," she said.
Jerome Lucido studies college enrollment at the University of Southern California's school of education. He said the University of Maine is on the right path.
"I do think there are lessons to be learned from what's going on in Maine right now," he said.
Richards said his university recognized the problem about 10 years ago when the number of high school students in Maine started to fall. At one point, 80 percent of the university's students came from Maine. Now about 40 percent come from other states.
In addition, there are over 450 international students in a degree program at the University of Maine. Other international students are in the school's program for English learners.
Orlina Boteva is the director of international programs. She grew up in Bulgaria and came to study at the University of Maine. She completed postgraduate degrees there and has been working with international students since 2009.
She said international students who are interested in the University of Maine will have to pay a similar cost compared to students coming from other states in the U.S. But the university does offer scholarships from $5,000 up to $20,000. In addition, the university offers teaching assistant positions for graduate students.
Boteva said her department does not do anything different from other schools in the northeastern U.S. to bring in international students.
However, she said the university's goal of connecting with students extends to those from outside of the U.S. University officials travel to other countries to find students and meet their families. They even made some visits last year when other universities were not sending their representatives abroad. The university also tries to make sure international students feel cared for when they come to Maine.
"Our population is small enough that we get to know our students. They have a really excellent experience on campus...So that experience really translates into a very high rating of the student experience on campus as an international student."
As a former international student herself, Boteva said, she "deeply cares" about the experience students from other countries have while in Maine. She also wants students to know that it is possible to find out how to get a work visa and stay in the U.S. after finishing a study program.
Boteva said the school is also paying attention to students who come from countries with economic problems. The U.S. dollar is much stronger today than it was a year ago. That means it is more costly to go to an American school. Boteva said the school will work with students who are already there but may be having trouble paying.
In addition, the University of Maine just announced that it will change the cost of going to school for students who come from a country like Ukraine, which is affected by war. They will now pay the same amount as students who come from Maine. That represents a big savings.
"This is really the first time that we as an institution are looking at what is our mission, as an institution to support displaced students by war."
She said the school is thinking about how it can help students find a pathway to education if their countries become destabilized. This year, there are eight students from Ukraine attending the University of Maine.
There is no guarantee the current ideas will keep working in the future. But, Richards said he believes the university will keep working to solve the problem of decreasing student numbers. He said the leaders of the university recognize the problem.
"The good thing for us," he said, "is that our leadership hasn't existed in a vacuum of false reality."

WEO (Wanderlusting Executive Officer)
From the time I was a little girl, I loved adventures (especially those involving travel). My career as an executive in the publishing, trade show, and financial industries gave me a chance to visit lots of places. Now, as CEO of theONswitch marketing and professional speaker and writer (Embrace the Machine and Thrive Global), I'm usually passing through airports, sleeping in hotels, and hustling at WeWork…a true digital nomad.

The only smell better than jet fuel in the morning is that of coffee brewing. I was bitten by the travel bug at a young age after taking my first flight at a mere two weeks old. Life since then has been filled with plenty of airport codes and quite a few zip codes too. Home is where the art is, but the big, beautiful world is my backyard.
In fact, after helping with the launch of this site, I moved from Minnesota to Europe — for love and adventure.

Traveling to India at age 6 remains my most formative experience. Seeing how, in a day, the weather, landscape, and opportunity/quality of life could change so drastically was not only jarring but humbling. It awakened a curiosity of all there is to experience in the world. Much of my international travel since has been initiated by work but appreciated and explored just as much as a meticulously planned leisure trip. Creating a work-life balance that affords the flexibility to experience as much as possible is my goal!

On the amusement park guy! There is on the net, on bored.com somewhat approach movie sport and that is labeled "Amuse Park". Dude it's so marvelous! Adore it! The photographs are unquestionably fantastic, the overall activity perform is sweet along with the things that you've got to try and do will seriously put everyone to the take a look at. So…this really is particularly that which you really have to undertake during the "Amuse Park". You've got $6,000 and you also essentially will have to created from your starting an entire amusement park. Appears pretty uncomplicated but it really isn't really…the extremely to start with stage is similar to schooling. The intention of the video clip match is to attract as numerous guests as feasible simply because it's essential to get to a particular sum of stashed cash. It's possible you'll set up a carousel or perhaps a castle inside the begging. The put where you construct it is actually essential due to the fact alongside your new making, you have to also put a number of benches, bathrooms, food-stands and many other people. You should also check out to maintain the location clear and at the time once more hiring an individual to wash it charges money…funds which you get out of your other concept park sights.
Witnessing how people enter your "Amuse Park" possessing an not happy confront after which go away with their mouths to their ears is incredible and in addition wanting on the sum of money because of the finish in the day leads to you to definitely even open your very own theme park. It's hard – you will need to think; plus your contemplating really should be correct simply because you just will not wish to get rid of dollars so I think that "Amuse Park" is strictly good to enjoy before you open up your own own organization.

1672: Not Cornelius van Baerle, tulip-fancier	1743: James Hunt and Thomas Collins, Pepper-Alley sodomists
1792: Arnaud de La Porte
August 24th, 2016 Headsman
Ancien regime minister Arnaud de La Porte was guillotined on this date in 1792* by the new order.
Stock of a long line of Versailles courtiers, de La Porte (English Wikipedia entry | French) followed his father into administration with a specialty in naval finances. He knocked around maritime bureaus from the time he was a whelp of 18 in 1755; he was at last named Louis XVI's Minister of the Navy on July 12, 1789 — two days before the Bastille fell.
He had both the wisdom to immediately expatriate himself to Spain, and the loyalty to answer his harried sovereign's summons to return; by December 1790, he was appointed intendant of the Civil List and minister of the king's household.
This made de La Porte the bagman in the king's campaign to buttress the Revolution's moderating forces — writers, thinkers, and artists in the constitutional monarchist camp, as against the Marats — to which end some 200,000 livres dropped from his fingers every month. All was to little avail.
De La Porte's position made him a close confidante of the royal family. When the latter attempted the ill-starred flight to Varennes, it was de La Porte who was entrusted to present the absconded king's Dear John note to his jilted subjects in the Constituent Assembly.
With the king's embarrassing capture, the Capets' confinement became ever more uncomfortably close, and with them that of a loyal aide who must have passed a few moments contemplating the Iberian charms he had abandoned to share this bitter draught — until the following summer when Danton et. al. finally overthrew the monarchy on August 10, 1792.
A bad day for Arnaud de La Porte: the storming of the Tuileries Palace on August 10, 1792, by Jean Duplessis-Bertaux.
De La Porte was overthrown with them.
While revolutionary Paris is synonymous to posterity with frightful political trials, it was in the aftermath of the August 10 revolution that they began, and then as novelties. (The guillotine at this point was itself just a few months old.)
Endeavoring to cement their triumph, the revolutionaries constituted a tribunal to try the deposed royalist ministers as traitors for their maneuverings. (They also obviously blocked any prosecution of their own number for massacring hundreds of Swiss Guards who fought to defend the king.) These can be accounted among the first overt political trials of the revolution, the harbingers of the coming Terror and ill omen for the judgments the Revolution would levy against king, queen, and royals all. De La Porte in his closing address to the court fervently hoped his nation would not follow that dark road.
Citizens — I die innocent, notwithstanding that appearances are against me. May my blood, which is to be shed for the expiation of a crime of which I am not guilty, restore tranquility to this empire: And may my sentence be the last unjust arret which shall be pronounced by this Tribunal. (via the London Times, Aug. 30, 1792)
With the post-Napoleonic restoration, the man's son — also named Arnaud — was created a hereditary baron in recognition of his ancestor's service to the crown.
* The dates for these trials are very sloppily accounted for; this is also true of Durosoy, whose head was chopped off the next day.
As of this writing, de La Porte's Wikipedia entries both French and English misdate his execution to August 23 (actually the date his examination began), and one will find sources placing it as late as August 28 whose attribution traces all the way back to the erroneous initial publications of the tribunals. To be sure, the trial against de La Porte had an unusual internal clock reflecting the revolution's ad hoc process: it unfolded over the two days, and after conviction the accused was beheaded the same day, but not immediately — instead, de La Porte was returned from his court to prison for a few hours, where he dined before going to the scaffold in the evening.
By way of substantiation, we find that under an August 25 dateline (printed in the August 29 edition), the London Times correspondent reports from the scene thus:
The new criminal Tribunal, instituted for the trial of persons supposed to be concerned in treasonable correspondence with the late Executive Government, proceed in a very summary manner on the trial of those persons who have been so unfortunate as to fall into the hands of the mob. M. de la Porte, the late Intendant of the Civil List, was yesterday convicted, after a trial of 37 hours. Sentence of death was immediately passed on him, and at night he was conducted to the Place de Carrousel, where he was executed. During the whole of his examination at the bar, as well as at the place of execution, he behaved with great firmness, and declared his innocence to the last …
The principal evidence against M. de la Porte was, that he had employed the public money to libel the new Constitution, by employing different Journalists to write down the Jacobin faction … The proof against him was so slight and contradictory, that it was with great surprise and indignation that the sober part of the citizens heard of his conviction. He certainly fell a victim to the Royal cause and to justice.

The most translated document in the world is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is 60 years old this week. Drafted as the first leg of an international bill of rights, it's a marvel it was ever produced. Writing in the aftermath of a devastating world war and at the beginning of the cold one, the drafters did not contemplate torture warrants or dabble with detention without charge. The atrocities they had witnessed convinced them that only an "international Magna Carta" for mankind, in Eleanor Roosevelt's words, could bring peace within and between nations.
Yet the UDHR is not only a restatement of enlightenment values. Countless numbers of people had collaborated in "barbarous acts which outraged the conscience of mankind" in the heart of democratic Europe. Different philosophies, religions and beliefs came together to ask not just what makes a citizen free, but how all individuals can flourish and live peaceably together.
In Roosevelt's vision, human rights were needed in little places as well as big; equality had to be more than formal; and the emphasis on dignity signified that humans require respectful, not just equal, treatment. Rights to heath, education, social security and leisure were proclaimed alongside liberty, justice, privacy and free speech. The state had to be sufficiently strong to guarantee such birthrights, and sufficiently restrained to be held accountable. The liberal, conservative, socialist, Confucian, Christian, Jewish and Muslim drafters agreed that individuals can thrive only in communities to which everyone "owes duties". Freedoms have to be curtailed to protect others and "general welfare in a democratic society".
The rights in the declaration are only one half of an equation in which "human" features strongly. Everything hangs on the assertion that human beings "are endowed with reason and conscience". In a deliberate echo of the biblical injunction to love thy neighbour as thyself, individuals are commanded to "act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood". This was the mission of the declaration: to underline common ethical values in a diverse world, in a manner that reflects that diversity.
It was the business of the 30 treaties that flowed from it, including the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), to transform these principles into laws. This has given them force, but sometimes drained them of vision. Judged by the catalogue of human misery that still besmirches our world, the UDHR has had limited impact, although transparency and accountability have increased. Assessed by its capacity to inspire, it has done better. Nelson Mandela testified to the hope it gave to millions in apartheid South Africa; human rights, for all the declaration's critics, have become the lingua franca of struggles around the world.
In Britain, opinion polls suggest consistently high support for human rights as a root to fairness, and for a law to protect them. Yet there is confusion over the future of the Human Rights Act, as myths and misinformation have combined with some controversial decisions taken under it. Ministers hint at a bill of rights that will build on the act but include more responsibilities. Opposition leaders promise to scrap the law and replace it with a British bill of rights and responsibilities. A few days ago Nick Herbert, the shadow justice secretary, lamented the power of judges under the Human Rights Act. But why call for a bill of rights at all if the aim is to further reduce their role? The act already gives parliament, not courts, the final say.
What are British liberties if they are not fair trial and freedom from torture? Yet it is these that have, troublingly, caused most controversy. Where do we find responsibilities linked with rights if not in human rights law? The act's limitations on rights are much stronger than in the American bill of rights. Along with the rest of the European convention they were drafted by British lawyers fulfilling Churchill's dream of "a charter of human rights, guarded by freedom and sustained by law". The ECHR is as British as custard.
There are useful models to adopt. Canada's charter of rights takes the UDHR and adds clauses reflecting the nation's modern identity. This approach, of building up rather than knocking down, has to be the starting point. If the purpose of consulting on a new bill of rights is to underline common values in a diverse society, then how does it help to look only backwards and inwards? As Barack Obama said at last year's anniversary: "Today should be a day of celebration, a day when we hail the universality of these core principles" - which are rooted in British and American traditions of civil liberty, strengthened and enriched "by a remarkable variety of political, religious and cultural perspectives".

What happens to the stock market when interest rates rise?
When interest rates increase, here's what historically has happened to the stock market.
Here are a few market-based signs that imply more bumps could lie ahead, or at least highlight the rough path markets traversed thus far.


Harvey Pile, 22, is a trainee auctioneer at Stags Auctioneers, running at South Molton Market, Tavistock Livestock Centre and Honiton Collection Centre. He currently auctioneers poultry and dispersal sales.
Markets: As a farmer's son I could always be found accompanying my father to the local livestock markets in Taunton and Highbridge. Since then these markets have ceased to exist but I am now a young man entering the industry striving to progress and succeed. In doing so I find myself turning my hand to an array of jobs and tasks during a working week.
The job of an auctioneer can appear to be just that, auctioneering, but at Stags Auctioneers we believe you must be adaptable and able to carry out an array of tasks; from grading, sorting and scanning sheep in one of our markets, to helping with the washing and cleansing of the market at the end of a busy sale day and carrying out one of the numerous administration jobs associated with running a market. And of course, everything in between.
Day-to-day: A typical week, with lots of early starts, begins with a busy Monday morning in east Devon where I assist with the running of Honiton Collection Centre, a unique red slaughter stock market where the six-day standstill does not apply.
Here, we as auctioneers act as agents dealing with multiple abattoirs throughout the country. We offer farmers a live fixed price while placing animals on a deadweight basis into abattoirs which provides a fast, efficient and secure way of marketing their slaughter stock.
Tuesdays often mean a trip to Tavistock Livestock Centre; a journey to west Devon where store and breeding cattle and sheep are sold on a monthly basis with more seasonal sales included in the calendar throughout spring and autumn.
Wednesdays are a day spent on what feels like endless paperwork and administration jobs. Every Thursday morning, I travel to north Devon and assist with the running of South Molton Market, a large prime sheep market specialising in the sale of prime lambs, cull ewes and rams with seasonal store lamb and couple sales. And on Fridays we round up the week, preparing vendor statements and collaborating market reports. When this is done, we have the chance to get out and meet clients.
Working up: Among this already busy week, Stags historically specialise in on-site dispersal sales which can consist of livestock, machinery, horticultural, and building equipment dispersals.
They are usually held on a Saturday or Wednesday, attracting huge crowds and offering us auctioneers a day away from our usual environments of livestock markets and the market office. I hope to progress to a stage where I am not only a competent auctioneer, but also a helpful and knowledgeable point of contact for our clients throughout our three markets.
I believe working up from the bottom is the best way of earning respect from your colleagues and clients and gives you an indepth and full understanding of how an auction mart business functions.


Credit lender Provident Financial has stood its ground against a takeover bid by rival Non-Standard Finance (NSF) and raised new concerns about the strategic, operational and financial merits of the offer.
NSF is attempting to take over its larger rival with a £1.3bn bid as Bradford-based Provident attempts to recover from a botched restructuring of its home credit business, profit warnings and a dividend suspension.
NSF, whose bid is led by chief executive John van Kuffeler, a former CEO of Provident, said on Tuesday it has the backing of the holders of just over 50 per cent of Provident's shares. That is well short of its 90 per cent target and a marginal improvement from when it first made the bid in February.
The acceptance condition for the offer is currently not less than 90 per cent, but NFS can vary the level and said further announcements on this will be made in due course.
In another detailed response on Tuesday, Provident asked how NSF would address the potential funding, ratings, balance sheet and earnings impacts from its planned sale of Provident's Moneybarn, while still achieving a meaningful capital distribution.
"The board of Provident has specific concerns regarding certain historical dividend payments and share buybacks made by NSF," Provident said in a statement.
It questioned who NSF would put at the head of Vanquis Bank, which is at the heart of Provident's defence against the bid, as well as how it could persuade competition regulators to approve a plan to list its Loans at Home unit separately.
NSF has proposed simplifying Provident, selling two units and demerging Loans at Home.
Mr van Kuffeler said: "We are delighted to have received acceptances for a majority of Provident's shares.
But Provident insisted it is continuing to explore "all appropriate alternatives" to maximise value for shareholders and continues to advise its shareholders to "take no action".
Analyst James Hamilton at Numis said NSF's announcement on the level of acceptances suggests that "no new, significant shareholders have joined the offer group".
Separately, Provident said chief financial officer Simon Thomas is to take three months leave for a heart operation, naming former PwC partner and hostile takeover specialist Tony Skrzypecki as his stand-in.

Parkside Industry
URBANQUARTERMOBILITY
Ilana De Dobbelaere, Isabelle De Pauw, Joline De Wilde, Ine Vangeenderhuysen
The Muide today is known for its former industrial character at the port of Ghent. Located at the north of Ghent, Muide is a working-class area. Lately, the area also attracts students and younger couples, or people who have just graduated because of its low housing costs. Meanwhile, the city of Ghent is also investing to make the area more appealing for its inhabitants by placing dog run meadows, hiring old harbor infrastructure to young entrepreneurs, placing playgrounds for children, organizing shared gardens, and so on.
The site today is mostly used for bigscale industry with next to it row houses, where you kind of feel the negative effect of the industry. Because today this is seen as a grey and negative architecture that often is closed off from the outside world. It is even visible in the name, industry park.
But how can we combine industry with a city landscape? Industry needs to transform from a negative to a positive, we can do this by reidentifying the industry. Making it something that the inhabitants want to go to. This is partly done by commons, making the industry available for people is a way of making it a recreational object. Involving the inhabitants in the process of making is a way to make the Muide a common city, where the social aspects make the industry more appealing.
Industry on three scales is also a way to combine the Muide and industry. Industry is not just one big scale, you have small scale and entrepreneurs as well. We see the benefits of a big-scale next to the canal, so this will stay located at the sides. But the two other scales can happen throughout the whole site. A small woodshop space, somebody who makes chocolates, an office space,… The industry will collaborate with the city and will now be placed under the heading, mixing of functions.
A second word in the vision is parkside. The industry will be combined with green spaces. Degreying and unpaving the city is key. A 100% water-permeable city. The green spaces will be present around the whole site and are connected by an analog walk. The green spaces are not only good for the climate, but also the identity of the city.
Reidentifying the city will be done concerning the heritage that is already present today. Those will be kept as city monuments or landmarks and will be combined with new landmarks like the water tower. Most of the row houses also remain on the site to keep the identity of today, but enhance it with new architecture in the form of the grid. It is a play between the old and the new, where the old can teach us about the past architecture and the new enhances and gives the old renewable attention, making the Muide a new way of living.

"We are currently serving a select set of eligible clients as we continue to build our initial solutions," the company said in a statement.
Over the next several months, we will thoroughly engage with and prioritize prospective clients based on needs, jurisdiction and other factors.
A source familiar with the new enterprise told CoinDesk on Tuesday that the cold storage function of Fidelity's new Bitcoin custody service is already live, with some assets currently under management.
Last October Boston-based Fidelity, a financial services company with $7.2 trillion worth of assets under management for 27 million clients, announced its plans to enter the crypto market, citing proven institutional demand for cryptocurrency.
At the time, Fidelity launched a separate company to manage crypto assets called Fidelity Digital Assets, and announced the new crypto holding company would be headed up by Tom Jessop, a 17-year finance veteran from Goldman Sachs who left Wall Street to join blockchain startup Chain as president in 2017, and then Fidelity in 2018.
Judging from his remarks in this short interview with The Banker at the time of his brief stint with Chain, one can see why big finance companies, as well as cryptocurrency enthusiasts, might appreciate where Jessop's head is at (video below).
Fidelity is hoping to bring the solutions and technical capabilities of a trillion dollar global asset management company to bear on the unique problems faced by institutional investors who want to diversify some of their portfolio into crypto holdings.
More specifically, Fidelity has been planning since at least last year to offer offline, cold storage custody solutions for the major cryptocurrencies out there, starting with Bitcoin to test the waters, as well as trade execution, and other related services specific to investing in cryptocurrency.
But cryptocurrency is clearly no longer the purview of a lunatic fringe of math whizzes and hyper-caffeinated anti-government crypto-anarchists. This move by Fidelity among other major global finance players proves 2019 is the year Bitcoin and a couple other major cryptos enter the mainstream investment world as a sought after asset class.

permalink: /emacs/tips-and-tricks/Elpy/how-to-pass-region-to-shell.html
categories: [python, emacs, Elpy, shell]
tags: [Emacs, tips and tricks]
---

Preamble

In many cases it might be extremely convenient to pass some particular
code snippet (function, class or even entire file content) to Python
shell and Elpy allows you to do this out from the box. But python-mode
configured by default to use mixed TAB and SPACE indentation and if you're
trying send region you're got this error:
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

Solution

Just try to customize indent-tabs-mode and set it up to nil
It's possible by:
C-h v indent-tabs-mode

Conclusion

After that customization feel free to mark the region which you want to
dissect in the python shell and pass it there by typing C-c C-c

Tech How to tell someone to lose the blackberry?
My wife uses the blackberry and she won't get rid of it, even though I have told her a million times the Iphone is much better.
Any suggestions for her to get rid of the dinosour?
Why does she need to change? If it fits her needs then until the thing dies I'd say let her keep it. Mind you I also have a seven year old flip phone so I'm slightly biased.
If she likes it and it works for her, then there is no point in her upgrading and you nagging her will just annoy her. Personally I wouldn't go with the iPhone anyway; I like Android.
If she likes it leave it alone. It's her phone and as long as it works for her then it's a good phone. The Iphone is not all that great anyway.
What Blackberry phone is she using? If she's comfortable with it, then maybe it's better to leave her be. But, you can let her borrow your phone once in a while (if you're using an iPhone) so that she could get a feel of what the iPhone offers. You could also show her the different reviews of the iPhone over the internet and show her the different apps and games available.
I would borrow her blackberry and go to work with it. Then, in the evening, you tell her it is broken because an airplane crashed on it while you were away.
Of course that's not true. Airplanes are scared of blackberrys.
That's how you tell someone to ditch it.
I don't think you can force someone to get rid of the phone unless it no longer works. One thing I have to ask you though. Does she like the BlackBerry brand or does she simply like the phone she's having now? I have a friend who would stick with the same brand no matter how good other brands are. The mobile phone brand is the reason people would go for it.
One main feature that people like on the blackberry is the BBM. Pretty cool to send messages across the world to anyone you know who has a blackberry, but I'm sure they have something similar for the iPhone and Android. Blackberrys have fallen off for the common person, but you still have business people using them. I don't like Blackberry personally, but sone people still have a use for it.
I don't see why she should have to change her phone, just because the phone isn't currently in fashion and older than one year. If she likes the phone, then there is really no reason to change it. Forcing her to change the phone is just horrible.
Don't be a snob and let her use what she likes to use. She is not hurting anyone, whereas you might be.
I'd suggest not telling her and make her more defensive about her phone. Or maybe offer her an Android instead of an iPhone. ;D I much prefer Android over iPhones.
Honestly though, why does she need to upgrade if she likes her phone? Just wait 'til it breaks and then she'll buy a new one. It's her loss if she has a phone worse than what she could have. Then again, a new phone costs money so maybe it's to her benefit to stick with the phone while it's still working.

While there are many different accidents that could be considered a personal injury, car accidents are the most common, according to the American Bar Association. When a person gets behind the wheel of a vehicle, he or she becomes responsible for following the laws set in place at the local and federal level. Drivers are duty-bound to drive safely for themselves, as well as for the fellow drivers encountered on the roads.
If it can be proven that another party was responsible for an accident, then that case would be considered a personal injury case by the courts. For example, if a doctor did not follow the proper safety measures in place for a surgical procedure, he or she may be held accountable for negligent behavior should a patient be injured while under the knife.
According to Cornell University Law School's Legal Information Institute, monetary awards that are given to victims of personal injury are called damages or compensation. There are two types of compensation: compensatory and punitive. Compensatory damages are awarded as a means to restore financial stability. One form of compensatory damage that may be awarded is economic, which may help with lost wages, medical bills or the loss of some personal property. The other form is non-economic, which can be awarded as justice for emotional distress, mental anguish, or physical pain and suffering.
Punitive damages, on the other hand, are not awarded as often as compensatory damages. A punitive award typically serves as a type of punishment for a defendant who is found to be willingly negligent or at fault. In general, punitive damages are awarded in addition to compensatory damages. For example, in 2015, Holland America cruise line was ordered to pay punitive damages in the amount of $16.5 million over a sliding door accident, according to the Seattle Times. Evidence was presented at trial that the company had tried to cover up the fact that over a three-year period there were up to 34 other accidents concerning the sliding doors, resulting in injury to other passengers.
People who have been injured due to another's negligence are advised to seek the advice of a Arizona personal injury attorney to help them protect their legal rights.

In her study of the welfare rights movement, Premilla Nadasen breaks new ground by tracing the history of a distinctive brand of feminism that emerged in the 1960s. Comprising almost exclusively single mothers on welfare, the welfare rights movement sought to organize the poor to make demands upon the system and in the process create a more humane welfare program. By recovering the voices of movement women and their experiences as mothers, racial minorities, welfare recipients, tenants, consumers, community members, feminists and activists, this book demonstrates how race, class, gender, and other identities continually reshape and redefine one another.
""Nadasen has written the definitive history of the welfare rights movement that, for a brief moment, turned welfare into a program that helped rather than punished poor women. Carefully researched and fully documented, Welfare Warriors reveals the largely untold story of how poor and working class women came together to fight for a decent life. By exploring the working class black feminism that emerged, Nadasen's account also broadens and deepens our understanding of feminism."
"Armed with their own brand of feminism in the 1960s and 70s, Premilla Nadasen's "Welfare Warriors" fought militantly and relentlessly against racism, sexism and dehumanizing poverty. They fought their battles in the halls of Congress, the streets of urban communities, and inside the progressive movement itself. Even when they were not victorious, these black women activists were never victims, but rather powerful, complex and committed agents for change. This compelling and compassionate study, meticulously researched and passionately argued, is a must-read for anyone interested in social change politics, feminism or the black freedom movement."
--Barbara Ransby, Professor of African American Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago and author of Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement.
