The Martian paused at the doorway and looked in. Bathed in the light of Mars' two moons, he saw her, locked in the arms of the Earthman. Her face was that of his wife. He turned, and his tall slender form moved away from the building, casting two shadows in the light of the moons.
He saw the Earthman next at breakfast. But before he saw him, he saw his wife. And she did not come to breakfast.
"Where's Rita?" asked the Earthman.
"Reeta is indisposed," said the Martian pleasantly. "Perhaps she will go with us to the spaceport, but I cannot tell. When she wakes with a headache, it sometimes lasts all day."
"Too bad," said the Earthman. He tapped absently on the bare wood of the table.
"Here," said the Martian, holding out a dish of curled reddish flakes, "do you like berra meat?"
"No. Thanks, I don't care for any." The Earthman frowned. "Rita said she'd be here for breakfast."
"Ah?" said the Martian. "When did she say that?"
The Earthman opened his mouth and closed it. He had been about to say, "Last night."
"The reason I ask," said the Martian, taking a curl of berra meat delicately in his finger, "is because of Reeta's extraordinary memory. We Martians do not make a statement of future intent, and then not carry it out. It is a point of courtesy with us. Surely you know this."
"That's right," said the Earthman, remembering.
"Therefore, if she said she would be here, even with a headache she would be here. With myself," the Martian shook his head regretfully, "it is often different. My memory is often at fault." He crunched the berra meat with relish.
"I think I would like some of that," said the Earthman. He took some of the meat. "I guess I was wrong about Rita. I probably heard her wrong."
"Most probably " said the Martian.
The Earthman looked at him intently, but the thin Martian face was pleasant. "You know," said the Earthman, "it's been pleasant here. Before I left home, I didn't know. You hear so many stories about Martians. You know, about how tricky and subtle Martians are. But what the heck, Martians are just like anyone else." He smiled a sudden secret smile. "Yes, sir, just exactly like anyone else. Taller and thinner, is all." He took a handful of the berra meat and crunched loudly. "Good stuff," he said.
The Martian winced faintly, then smiled. "Yes, it is surprising. We have much the same physical form, much the same mental capacity. There is probably more variation among two races on Earth than between Earth and Mars. We can eat the same food and have the same diseases. It is surprising."
"Sure is," said the Earthman. He settled back and signaled to the manservant for some more of the strange mint-flavored coffee.
The Martian was leaning back, smoking an aromatic cigarette. His eyes looked into the distance as he spoke. "Yes, it is strange, the similarity in us. The same emotions,—Love, hate, jealousy. Tempered, perhaps a little more by the passage of time and the aging of the race. Carried out, perhaps a little more in the sphere of the mind than in that of the body. We are the same in body, though."
"Yes," the Earthman put in, grinning with half of his face.
"Yes," agreed the Martian, still looking off into space. He breathed out twin plumes of the aromatic smoke. "There is, however, a danger there, which we so far have held in check.
"Disease." The Martian's hawk-like eyes touched impersonally on the Earthman and then glanced away.
"Why's that?" asked the Earthman, feeling strangely chilled. "What about disease?"
The Martian hesitated. "Well," he said finally, "we are an older race." He ground out his cigarette.
"So?" said the Earthman. "What of it?"
"Disease which have become benign in us, due to an immunity acquired over the ages, might become virulent in your race."
"Oh. We haven't got the immunity yet. But our scientists—"
The Martian rose. "We must not stay chatting till you miss your ship. Excuse me a moment," He left the room and the Earthman heard him speaking in low, considerate tones, but could not make out the words.
"Reeta is still sick," said the Martian coming back into the room. "It is one of her headaches. She will be over it tomorrow. I asked her of her promise to be with us this morning. She remembered nothing of it.—Curious."
"My mistake," said the Earthman, laughing a little unnaturally.
The Martian shrugged. "My own mistake as well. If we had not gone to the fireshow last night, she would have no headache, and be with us today. Oh well, let us go. I have had Fernand see to your goods. You have the contract with you, I suppose?"
The Earthman frowned, patted, his breast pocket absently and heard the crinkle of paper. He accompanied the Martian through the short central hall with its latticed screen to the outside. The air was brisk but the sun was warm.
"A pleasant day," said the Martian. "A little hot, perhaps." He crossed to the peculiar, many-wheeled vehicle the Martians used for traveling, and slid up a door. He motioned the Earthman in, then sat down beside him. The machine jolted into motion and something clattered to the floor.
"What's this?" said the Earthman, picking up a small metal disc. He accidentally touched a stud, and it flew open, showing a small blue-tinted mirror, and something that looked like rouge.
The Martian glanced over at it. "Rita's compact," he said. "I suppose she forgot it at the fireshow last night. Your women use those too, don't they?"
"Yes," said the Earthman, frowning. The fireshow. They had offered to take him there. That is, his host had offered to. But he thought that he saw something else in the eyes of his hostess, something far more worthwhile than the fireshow. He had said he thought he would go to bed, since he had to leave the next day. He had seen the promise in Rita's eyes. And she had kept that promise. Then how could his host talk of the fireshow? Rita could not be two places at once.
The vehicle was crawling forward at what the Martians considered a good speed. The Martian was admiring the scenery. "Beautiful ," he was saying. "this is the best time of the year."
"Yes," said the Earthman. "Uh, about the fireshow. What time was that last night?"
"As always at midnight," said the Martian. "Are you regretting that you missed it?"
"Sort of," said the Earthman. He was thinking that it had been shortly before midnight when he went for his short walk. She had been waiting at the flowering shrubs. They had gone back together, wordlessly. Midnight. This was impossible. How long did the show last?"
"About three hours," said his host. "We didn't stay to see the end, though. We'd only been there an hour-and-a-half when Reeta complained of a pain over her eyes. The fireshow will do that to some people, you know.
But the Earthman was staring out the window. They passed a small Martian house surrounded by flowers. Rita, looking strangely pale was standing among the flowers, putting some in a slender vase. She waved good-bye. "Why, there's Rita!" cried the Earthman.
His host turned slowly and glanced back. He shook his head. "I tell you frankly," he said, "I am glad you are leaving."
The Earthman stared at him.
"That," said the Martian, "was not Reeta. You may have noticed the difference in complexion."
"Why , she was pale. But, who was it?"
"I have never told you. Perhaps I should have. That was Reeta's twin."
The Earthman felt as if his head were spinning. "Why didn't I ever meet her?"
"It is a story I do not want to get out. You must agree not to tell,"
"Well, sure, if you want me to."
"Very well. Reeta's sister, is well, somewhat wanton, She was brought up with her sister, they are like each other in appearance, but Neena had some unfortunate experiences as a girl. She is overly friendly with men,"
"Oh." It crossed the Earthman's mind that perhaps the mixup about the fireshow was not so strange after all. "Well," he said, "I won't repeat it."
"It was not that I wished you not to repeat." The Martian was looking straight ahead at the road.
"Oh? What was it then?"
The Martian seemed to speak with some difficulty. "On Earth, you have the common cold, as it is called. We are, you know, immune to that here."
"Yes, I've heard that."
"You may not have heard that we have other diseases which are to us as your common cold is to you. They are irritating while they last, but they pass and we, with our acquired immunity, recover. While they last, however, we must avoid contact with Earthmen.. The diseases are more violent with them"
A chill seemed to have entered the vehicle.
"Neena," the Martian went on, "came down with a mild case of one of these Martian colds. This was what I did not tell you. Perhaps I should have. Suppose you had chanced to come down this way, and she in her thoughtless carelessness had spoken to you?" The Martian shivered.
"What," asked the Earthman hollowly, "did she have?"
"I do not know the name. My memory is not good. On Earth it produces sores—hideous. I have been told limbs drop off."
Terrified, the Earthman sat up straight.
The Martian glanced at him. "Come," he said comfortingly. "Relax yourself. She will get over it. It is not so severe here. I told you, with us it is like a cold. But you see, I do not wish this to get round. Our trade with Earth is mutually profitable. A misunderstanding on this could ruin it."
Yes," said the Earthman in a haunted voice. "You don't—you don't remember the name of this disease?"
"Ah, my memory is not too good. Reeta would know. It is a shame she could not come.—Headaches are not catching."
"That's good to know," said the Earthman. "Look, this 'cold'—would a person from Earth be likely to catch it? I mean—the odds?"
"We have not experimented," said the Martian dryly. He swung the many-wheeled vehicle onto the edge of the landing field. "I must leave you here. It has been a pleasure having you, my friend. I hope the contract will be satisfactory to everyone."
"Yes," said the Earthman faintly. "I'm sure it will." He looked off at the ship that was to carry him home. But he did not look happy. He looked as if he had gone hollow inside.
On the way back, the Martian stopped at the small house surrounded with flowers. He called inside.
"Why," demanded the slender, pale-faced woman who came to door, "did you make me come down here just now? Why did you make me wear this horrid chalky face-whitener?"
Her husband spoke with a softness that was like velvet over a sword. "I know about last night, Reeta."
His wife caught her breath.
Her husband turned to the smiling woman who walked out to greet him. "I am sorry, Mohain," he said gently, "We must go home, now. Perhaps you will come up tonight with your husband?"
"Ah, he only takes me out once a week," the woman laughed, "and last night it was to the fireshow. Did you see it?"
"Alas," said the Martian with a faint tinge of a smile, "unfortunately, we did not."
With a heavy rumble, the Mars-Earth spaceship passed overhead.


CSU-Global closely monitors student retention and graduation rates to ensure student support services and programming are meeting student needs.
The university's ultimate goal is to ensure that students can complete their degrees in a low-cost, high-quality environment that honors their time and commitment.
Students graduating in their first fiscal year are included in the graduation rates for Year 2. Graduation rates are cumulative and based on an entire fiscal year. Retention is based upon whether or not the student attempted credit at any time in the subsequent fiscal years from their Start Fall term. For Years 2-6, if a student was retained but not graduated, they are counted as retained. If a student was both retained and graduated then the student is only counted as graduated. "Start Fall term" is determined by earliest course, rather than date started or expected start date, and aligns to SURDS/IPEDS. Full-Time and Part-Time Statuses are determined as outlined by federal methodology and are based upon credits attempted within the student's first term. Once determined, full-time and part-time status is not updated. Note that for graduate students, full time is considered nine or more credits.


Q: Introduce yourself, your family, the work (aside from mothering) you currently do, and how that work has evolved as your children have grown.
A: I'm grateful to be included in this collective of creative mothers. I'm still somewhat humbled that I'm in this camp. Someone called me a writer the other day and I tried not to giggle that they think I am one. I worked in advertising before - at agencies for the first part of my career and then running brand at start ups before having my son, Bodie on New Years Day of 2016. My husband, Dan, has always been an incredible supporter of "whatever makes me truly happy" but I give him all the credit in the world for not raising an eyebrow when I decided to dial down work to create space for motherhood. Internally, he must have - I definitely did.
When we met, I worked longer hours, traveled more and was en route to business school. And then truthfully even before we got pregnant, I left the start up I was at, wanting to do meaningful work and be the wife and woman I wanted to be. I started brand consulting for female founded small businesses knowing I'd have the capacity to dial up and down once we did grow our family. A year into consulting, I had Bodie who I still stare at wondering how I could have possibly created a child so perfect (in my opinion). And then I made the call to be home - to join the ranks of stay at home mothers while keeping myself in the game with a bit of consulting work two days a week. That grey area between stay at home mother and ambitious woman felt confusing, stigmatized and simultaneously, super empowering and happy. I met loads of smart mothers in a similar stage - feeling the pull of motherhood and choosing to take pauses or finding flexible work - and that community gave me comfort in my new mother skin. So, I built my website Mother Untitled a year into having Bodie to bring that conversation and community online.
Q. Do you wish you could do more or less creative work? How do you manage those conflicted feelings?
A: Oh god, more. Always, more. I know I could be moving so much faster if I had my full brain to give. But I don't. At this current moment, I'm thinking about preschool applications and why lunch turned into a full on food fight. So, I mop up the mac and cheese and get one of six applications out, and the to-dos for the website inevitably get bumped.
We all know the feeling that is bound to follow - a twinge of regret for non-progress at the end of another day. Someone once told me that a woman's career is a series of interval sprints and thoughtful pauses. I am consciously moving slower right now - I try and lean into the thoughtfulness knowing there will be another time in my life for deadlines and pressure. Those things conflict with my main priority - being present for Bodie.
Q. Does choosing to focus on motherhood affect any financial or career goals for you?
A: Yes and no. Financially, it's been a full on shift from being an equal partner and breadwinner to a much smaller financial contributor to our household. It's something that I still have to reconcile. We are extremely fortunate to be able to still enjoy so much of the life we live but we take a fine tooth comb to our finances month over month and are making cuts in ways we didn't have to previously. Neither Dan nor I mind the cuts and actually have been glad to grow more conscious of spending and excess. But I do miss my ego in feeling like I earned the life I live and any indulgences along the way. It is one of the complexities that I like to address on the site because it is a heavy reality that is often left unsaid. Open dialog with my husband has helped me recognize that my contribution to our family is a choice we made and our finances are ours to hold together.
I never expected a linear career path and I didn't have any specific goals within advertising and marketing though I learned a tremendous amount and it somehow led me here. I've leaned into the role of Mother Untitled. What this chapter lacks in external validation of a senior title at a prestigious company, it more than makes up for in creativity, connectedness and entrepreneurial energy. I think there is tremendous opportunity in this chapter of life - it unlocks a desire for meaning and impact and a community of energizing women with whom you share a natural bond. I trust that those two things combined will continue to lead me to an even better place.
Q. What kind of a "village" or help do you have around you?
A: When Bodie was five months old, we started working with his regular babysitter, Vicky, two days a week. She is with Bodie on Mondays and Tuesdays which allows me time to dress like a grown up, work on the website, on client work or meet up with women in the city all working or thinking about some very cool things. A year into that set up, we added hours for Thursday evenings to allow a regular date night for Dan and I. She is incredible - calm, gentle, interesting and playful. I also have my in-laws in the city and it's a constant security blanket knowing any one of them could or would be over if we needed. My parents are simply the most gorgeous people I know. They're in California but fly in often - especially when Dan is traveling for work so they can keep us company. My girlfriends - with kids and without - keep me feeling like a full woman and they are over often so my days as a stay at home mother have rarely felt lonely - quite the opposite. The conversations with my female friends are more honest, more creative and more giving than I've ever had before. Without feeling that connectedness, I certainly wouldn't have built the site.
My husband deserves a whole other paragraph. He wakes up every other morning so I can sleep in and answer emails. He cooks the majority of our dinners and doesn't bat an eye that I somehow have forgotten how to do that in the past 20 months. He comes home early from work on Tuesdays so I can get wine and a bite with friends. And he works harder than anyone I know and still comes home and makes me feel like I did more than him that day. As I write this, I'm reminded to give him a ring and say thank you.
Q. Do you feel as though your work and home life lines are blurred? How do you handle that challenge?
A: Yes. But I wouldn't have it have it any other way. I grew up in a household with my father, an entrepreneur, taking work calls out of our studio apartment and his employees coming over for Thanksgiving dinner. My husband grew up similarly. So for us, our conversation is often about trading ideas, showing each other emails or talking through what's not working. We're happy to have working nights on the couch with wine. That said, Bodie is completely uninterested in all those conversations and unimpressed when I am ever in front of my phone or a computer so my days with him don't allow for much work. Realistically, my days with him - the feelings we have, the mothers I meet and the issues that come up - inspire the site in a big way.
Q. What's a typical day like and when do you actually get your work done?
A: Our house turns on somewhere in the 6am vicinity. My husband or I go in to get Bodie who wakes jumping up and down. If it's my turn to lie in, I'll get out e-mails, do a bit of writing or check in with Mother Untitled's designer in Amsterdam. If it's a Monday or Tuesday I head to the Soho House where I work after doing the hand off with our babysitter which still takes us way too long because neither Bodie or I are particularly good at saying goodbye. I tried working at home for periods of time but Bodie knows where to find me and I will always take him up on a cuddle which means we just end up saying goodbye over and over again. I love the global and creative community at the Soho House and I've actually made some close friends who are in a similar stage so we'll have check ins through the day and give each other a social break. On Mondays and Tuesdays, I really try and work through the majority of Mother Untitled's editorial calendar and social media content for the week and find at least one or two hours to do networking meetings as we explore partnerships with other smart voices in the parenting space.
If it's later in the week, Bodie and I are happy to have simple mornings. He's at a stage where doing laundry is as fascinating as a carousel so we'll shift between playing and puttering around the house for the first few hours of the day. We do a mid-morning class - soccer, music, art, etc. - on most days at different spots in the neighborhoods. It gives us a change of scenery but also lets him have time in a larger group which I always worry he missed since he never went to daycare. We live in the Flatiron so much of our remainder of the day we'll spend at the Madison Square playground or meeting friends for playdates in the park. In between, Bodie clocks in a solid two to three hour nap which I've learned to maximize - meaning skipping a shower to work on MU's Instagram, collaborate with our designer on upcoming visual needs or work through more content items for the week.
I love Bodie's evening routine from dinner through bedtime - it's built such a positive relationship for him with sleep which I hope continues and it just winds us both down. I've trained myself to save clean up for the very end of the day after he goes down at 7 because previously I was constantly tidying in vain. Our nights after Dan gets home aren't often more elaborate than a glass of wine and Odd Mom Out (a satire on New York city moms) or a working session side by side before bed by 10pm. Hence why date nights feel necessary - our current favorite is Red Rooster in Harlem where you have a bite and listen to the best live blues and jazz.
Q. What do you do when creative ideas hit you and you're in the middle of mothering?
A: If I'm super on it that day I'll make a note in my iPhone. More likely though I'll try and recall it later during nap or night time and I'll get some version of it.
Q. Do you have any words of encouragement for other moms trying to do all the things?
A: First, life is a long game. If you're taking a pause or re-routing for something new or simply moving a little more slowly than you would like in what you love, it will all ebb and flow many times over. Second, it's ok for something (a few things, in my case) to have to give. Pick the things you really care about, put your energy there and give yourself a break on the other things - I haven't made homemade food for Bodie for six months but I know he is loved and learning from a happy and fulfilled mother.
Good stuff, right?! Love Neha's approach to being conscious and present in this "pause" stage of her work life. Check out more on MotherUntitled.com and on Instagram.

There was some discussion about the HS-30 on the Army Radios Yahoo list server. It was introduced to be a universal headset that could be worn under a helmet and/or gas mask unlike prior headsets that were too bulky. The intention was that you would order not only the HS-30 proper, but also the needed cords, transformer and switching gear and assemble a complete set that would work with your specific radio.

Glen Ellyn shows percent enrolled in a public gradudate or professional school 18.6% larger as the percent enrolled in a private gradudate or professional school.
The next chart in this series of resources shown in Figure 20 looks at the total number of students enrolled in any educational institution for each place in the greater Glen Ellyn region. (Total enrollment in this case includes all students from preschool all the way through students enrolled in graduate school.) Glen Ellyn depicts it has a Total Enrolled of 8,087 which is in the mid range of other places in the surrounding region. The city with the highest total population enrolled in school in the area is Wheaton which shows a total population enrolled in school of 16,224 (about twice as large). Comparing total population enrolled in school to the United States average of 81,084,866, Glen Ellyn is only about 0.0% the size. Also, compared to the state of Illinois, total population enrolled in school of 3,228,360, Glen Ellyn is only about 0.3% the size.
The final chart in this series is Figure 22 and provides analysis data for the school year shown. The chart shows the proportion of kids/children that are enrolled in a pre-school public district versus those kids/children who are enrolled in a private pre-school oriented tuition institution (private salary/superintendent/etc.) Glen Ellyn Illinois has the largest proportion of public preschool enrollment at 71% of the total and is ranked #1.
Glen Ellyn Illinois Area Schools Charts
Figure 23 lists all the schools in the area along with the school district, county location and other program information/credential such as if they are a public charter school or private charter school or magnet school. Some of the Area Schools are: Park View Elem School, Abraham Lincoln Elem School, Benjamin Franklin Elem School, Glenbard West High School, and Glen Crest Middle School. The next illustration in Figure 24 shows the total child school enrollment for all grades (through 12th grade) at the school shown using NCES data (Common Core of Data, Public Elementary-Secondary School Universe Survey.) Looking at Enrollment for Area Schools we find that Glenbard East High School ranks the largest with a value of 2,424 enrolled students. The next largest values are for: Glenbard West High School (2,222), Hadley Junior High School (1,233), Churchill Elem School (672), and Glen Crest Middle School (653). The difference between the highest value (Glenbard East High School) and the next highest (Glenbard West High School) is that the enrolled students is about 9.1% larger.
Figure 25 show the ratio of the number of students to the number of teachers in the classroom. A good student to teacher ratio should be low because it indicates that there are less students for any one teacher to educate in a class and generally a better learning environment, better success and optimal teaching excellence. Teachers includes all educational staff such as special education teachers and any other educator. Note that distance learning (online learning/remote learning) is not included in these values. Looking at Student to Teacher Ratio for Area Schools we find that Glenbard West High School ranks the largest with a value of 10.7 student to teacher ratio. The next largest values are for: Glenbard East High School (10.8), Washington Elementary School (11.1), Lowell Elem School (11.3), and Hawthorne Elem School (11.8). The difference between the lowest value (Glenbard West High School) and the next lowest (Glenbard East High School) is that the student to teacher ratio is only slightly larger.

Agencies May Charge Special Service Charges, But Only In Rare Cases
One question we frequently receive is whether an agency can charge a requestor an hourly rate to respond to an OPRA request. The answer is yes, but only in specific circumstances where a requestor seeks an extraordinarily large volume of records.
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(c) provides that:
Whenever the nature, format, manner of collation, or volume of a government record embodied in the form of printed matter to be inspected, examined, or copied pursuant to this section is such that the record cannot be reproduced by ordinary document copying equipment in ordinary business size or involves an extraordinary expenditure of time and effort to accommodate the request, the public agency may charge, in addition to the actual cost of duplicating the record, a special service charge that shall be reasonable and shall be based upon the actual direct cost of providing the copy or copies
Our courts and the Government Records Council consider several factors in determining what constitutes an "extraordinary expenditure of time and effort." Specifically, they look at:
The volume of government records involved
The period of time over which the records were received by the governmental unit
Whether some or all of the records sought are archived
The amount of time required for a government employee to locate, retrieve and assemble the documents for inspection or copying, and then return them to their original storage location
Whether redaction is required
The size of the agency and number of employees available to accommodate document requests
The availability of information technology and copying capabilities
In other words, what may be "extraordinary" to one very small agency might be routine to larger agencies.
There are only three published judicial opinions on the issue of special service charges. The Supreme Court permitted a special service charge where millions of microfilmed land records needed to be redacted by an outside vendor. See Burnett v. County of Bergen, 198 N.J. 408 (2008) (permitting the agency to pass along the actual cost to the requestor). The Appellate Division permitted a special service charge where deputy attorney generals spent over 55 hours reviewing and redacting 15,000 emails. Fisher v. Division of Law, 400 N.J. Super. 61, 65 (App. Div. 2008). Finally, the Law Division permitted a special service charge where the requestor sought six-and-a-half years of legal invoices by four different law firms, which totaled thousands of redacted pages. See Courier Post v. Lenape Reg'l High Sch., 360 N.J. Super. 191, 199 (Law Div. 2002).
Generally, however, most special service decisions reside with the GRC. Though they are not precedential in court, the decisions are instructive. Recently, in Rozzi v. Lacey Twp. Bd. of Educ., GRC Complaint No. 2015-224 (Jan. 31, 2007), the GRC ruled that a school board could not charge a special service charge for a request where it took the agency four hours to retrieve 37 pages of records from storage. Even though the custodian certified that the requested checks were difficult to locate in numerous boxes in the agency's storage site, the GRC held that "given the amount of time expended, just over half of a working date, in tandem with the number of responsive records (37 pages) that were not redacted, and the resources available to the school district [(a district with 3,000 students and a $60 million budget)], the evidence of record does not support that the special service charge was warranted or reasonable due to an 'extraordinary amount of time and effort.'"
As a general rule, most GRC decisions have found no special service charge was warranted where a request took less than ten to twenty hours to fulfill, but response times above ten hours may invoke a special service charge for small agencies. See Diamond v. Twp. of Old Bridge, GRC Complaint No. 2003-15 (Feb. 18, 2014) (holding 4 hours of time did not justify special service charge); Carter v. Franklin Fire District No. 1, GRC Complaint No. 2013-281/2013-282/2013-283 (Oct. 28, 2014) (holding no special service charge warranted for nearly roughly 8 hours of time to search for emails); Verry v. Borough of South Bound Brook, GRC Complaint No. 2010-105/2010-106. Compare Loder v. County of Passaic, GRC Complaint No. 2005-161 (Feb. 8, 2016) (permitting special service charge where it took 32 hours to review thousands of pages); Vessio v. Twp. of Barnegat, GRC Complaint No. 2006-70 (April 25, 2007)(permitting special service charge where request took 14 hours of review in small agency); Renna v. County of Union, GRC Complaint No.: 2004-134 (April 11, 2006) (permitting service charge for nearly 40 hours of time to compile records.).
Often, agencies hold the records "hostage" unless the requestor first pays the fee. Luckily, our courts have held that paying the fee in order to gain access to the records does not mean that a requestor forfeits the right to challenge the fee in court and get a refund.

Yes, You May "OPRA an OPRA Request"
For years, individuals have filed OPRA requests with agencies to obtain all of the OPRA requests an agency has received during a specific timeframe. Requestors use these records in a variety of ways, such as a) finding out how many OPRA requests an agency is handling during any specific timeframe (since agencies have no obligation to calculate that information and let the public know); b) being able to contact another member of the public who is interested in the same type of government issues; c) learning more about government by seeing what other requestors are seeking from their government.
While local governments have generally continued to comply with such requests, unfortunately in 2014 the State began denying all requests for OPRA requests (perhaps not coincidentally, when the requests began to ask for other requests about the Bridgegate scandal). The trial court ruled against the State, but the matters were stayed. Accordingly, since 2014, requestors have not been able to obtain copies of OPRA requests that were filed with any State agency.
Recently, however, the Appellate Division issued a published opinion and rejected the State's appeal. In Scheeler v. Office of the Governor, __ N.J. Super. __ (2017), the Appellate Division held that there is no blanket exemption that permits an agency to deny access to all OPRA requests that were filed with the agency. While the Court noted that there may be circumstances where a single OPRA request might invoke a confidentiality concern (such as containing trade secrets), overwhelmingly that will not be the case.
The Court also re-affirmed its prior holdings and concluded that a request for all OPRA requests filed during a specific timeframe was valid and did not require "research."

The Third Exception to OPRA's Personnel Records Exemption
The third exception to OPRA's personnel records exemption provides that:
data contained in information which disclose conformity with specific experiential, educational or medical qualifications required for government employment or for receipt of a public pension, but not including any detailed medical or psychological information, shall be a government record.
[N.J.S.A. 47:1A-10.]
In Kovalcik v. Somerset Cty. Prosecutor's Office, 206 N.J. 581, 593 (2011), the Supreme Court has made it clear that this exception does not authorize disclosure of all records that "evidence an employee's educational background or even that evidence an employee's participation in educational pursuits generally." Rather, the Court held that the exception makes available only records "that would demonstrate that a government employee lacked a required credential and therefore failed to meet the minimum qualifications for the position."
What this means is that if there is a certain training certificate or license or degree that must be obtained in order to hold a government position (or to receive a promotion), then the public is entitled to know that information. So, a requestor could seek a copy of a Municipal Clerk's RMC (Registered Municipal Clerk) license and continuing education certificates, N.J.S.A. 40A:9-133 requires clerks to receive an RMC certificate. Similarly, if a requestor seeks a list of training courses that a police officer has taken, the agency must produce the list but may redact any courses that are not mandatory.

A4532 Will Hinder Transparency
This week, Assembly Bill A4532 passed out of the State and Local Government Committee and will likely be voted on by the Assembly at some point in the near future. This bill will severely hinder transparency in this State in two ways.
First, A4532 creates a new exemption for "personal government records," which are defined as records "that consists of or pertains solely to a pet or home alarm system permit, license, or registration." While I understand that the sponsor of the bill is concerned that businesses utilize these lists as marketing tools, these lists can be very valuable resources to members of the public. For example, animal rights advocates routinely use lists of pet license holders to notify pet owners that the local animal shelter has health code violations or inhumane conditions. As a result of such activism, shelters have been placed into new management or shut down altogether. Other animal rights advocates have used the list to expose backyard breeders who do not have their pets licensed. If these records are exempted from public access, it will be much harder for these advocates to advance their cause.
Second, as it is currently written, A4532 changes OPRA's mandatory fee-shifting provision so that an agency that acts in "good faith" and is "reasonable" will not have to pay fees even if the court rules in the requestor's favor. Such a change will gut OPRA. The mandatory fee-shifting provision is what gives OPRA "teeth" because it permits requestors to sue to gain access to records and be assured that their attorney fees will be covered. If fees are only provided where the agency was unreasonable or acted in bad faith, then cases of first impression will not be litigated because it will be too easy for the agency to say they were "reasonable" in denying a request since they had no guidance. Additionally, in any case where there is a conflict in legal authority (such as a GRC decision that conflicts with a court decision), the agency will try to escape fees by saying they were "reasonable" in following one instead of the other.
Simply put, without the assurance of a mandatory fee, requestors will be unable to find attorneys who will represent them on a contingency basis. This means that cases will not be litigated and the State will be less transparent as a result.
According to John Paff, the sponsors of the bill insist that they did not intend for the fee-shifting provision to be altered as to all types of OPRA cases and only intend to change it as to "personal government records." The bill as written, however, simply does not say that. Moreover, if there is a blanket exemption for "personal government records," there is no need to change the fee-shifting provision because a requestor will never "prevail" anyway.

PLEASE NOTE: Section 21 of the BC Rugby Discipline Policy outlines the definition of a Game for the Purposes of Discipline. All non- league games must be approved by the Discipline Chair to count towards a suspension. Section 21.4 outlines the procedure to receive approval of non-league games (exhibition games, representative games and tournaments) to count towards a suspension.
Langley RFC rostered and allowed a suspended player to take the field in the April 6, 2019 Division 2 Men's match against Simon Fraser Rugby Club. The player must still serve his remaining games (3 as of April 10, 2019) and his probation period will remain the same. There are no additional player sanctions.
Probation: Langley RFC is currently on probation until the end of the 2018-19 season. Langley RFC probation will be extended to the end of the 2019-20 season and the current bond will on file. The new probation will also be for bringing the game into disrepute (but not with respect to on-field foul play, so an on-field incident during the extended probation period will not be a breach of the Club's probation).
IN ADDITION: The Discipline Committee recommended to the Competition Committee that the Langley Division 2 team be deemed under the Rules of Competition to have defaulted their game last week vs. Simon Fraser Rugby Club as a result of Brett Hawkins playing in the game while still under suspension, and that the usual consequences of a defaulted game be applied. The Competition Committee accepted the recommendation and the game has been recorded as being defaulted by Langley RFC.

Q: Can the uploadcare widget be used without the uploadcare service? Can uploadcare-widget be used without using the upload care service?
The goal:

*

*Use the widget (specifically to allow users to upload files from their google drive/dropbox accounts).

*Instead of using upload care's backend, use your own backend, i.e. node.js/aws s3.

A: Yes, it can. It's open source!
Although you will have to either replicate or get rid of functionality that relies on Uploadcare infrastructure:

*

*uploads (this is the easiest part)

*fetching files from social networks and cloud storage services

*image preview and cropping that relies on Uploadcare CDN

So unless you're moving enormous amounts of files, most cost efficient way is to use Uploadcare as it is. BTW, you can use your own S3 storage and even upload directly to your S3 buckets.

Izvornik: Book of abstracts 37th conference of The Stress and Anxiety Research Society (STAR)Zagreb : Filozofski fakultet u Zagrebu , 2016. .
It has been noticed lately that more and more full-time students work during their studying. In average, full-time students have more obligations compared to part-time students, therefore they experience more difficulties regarding academic tasks and time management. Furthermore, a number of students are forced to work due to their economic situation. Stress comprises of both a physiological and psychological response to external events or stressors. These stressors can either be positive or negative, but they have a similar effect on the body. Certain level of stress can be stimulating, but problems occur when stress becomes overwhelming. It was presumed that full-time students with additional job are exposed to more stressors. Even though their part-time jobs contribute to their budget, that also cause stress, since students usually do menial jobs. They could also experience higher level of stress as they fail to fulfill their duties and other obligations at university, because of time limitation caused by work requirements. The present study examines differences in level of stress and subjective quality of life between working full-time students and non-working students. The study also aims to describe contribution of work and academic stress to students' subjective quality of life. Participants of this study are full-time students from Josip Juraj Strossmayer University in Osijek. Perceived life stress was measured by Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, 1983) which was expanded by two items: one regarding to academic stress and the other to work-related stress. Quality of life was measured with Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). The results indicate that working students experience similar academic stress than non-working students. Moreover, correlation of satisfaction with life and level of stress with different origin was revealed.
