The first ever published translation, in French with an introduction and copious notes, of the first igbo novel, published by Pita Nwana in 1933. This is the rags to riches tale inspired by the life of an Igbo Warrant Chief, Chief Igwegbe Odum (1860?-1940) from Aro Ndizuogu, who works his way out of poverty into immense wealth, but when tested by a mishap in which he loses all his goods, sells his load carriers and apprentices into slavery to buffer himself, only to later regret this, redress the damage, redeem the people he sold and spread his wealth around the community. This novel can be considered as having inspired Achebe's Things Fall Apart (1958).

DEAR AMY: I have been married for 20 years. During much of that time, my husband has accused me of sleeping with some of the men I've worked with. Though I am friends with my co-workers, I have never been unfaithful.
I discovered that my husband has been having sexually explicit conversations with a girl he knew from high school. I found his profile on dating sites listing him as "single and looking for a commitment."
I am unsure if he has been having affairs and has been blaming me to lessen his own guilt. How should I approach this, or should I just cut my losses and not look back?
Wondering, not Wandering
DEAR WONDERING: After 20 years, you have to deal with your marriage, even if you choose to leave it.
I think it's probable, if not likely, that your husband has created a smoke screen of cheating accusations in order to obscure his behavior. You could start a conversation by taking that elephant in your living room out for a little stroll. Reply to one of his online dating profiles.
"You're seeking commitment? Awesome! So am I!" you can say. Then you can take your conversation to the office of a professional marriage counselor.
DEAR AMY: Our daughter, who is a freshman in high school, has told us that she is physically attracted to girls as well as boys. She thinks she may be bisexual, as she has a "crush" on a girl. She has joined the Gay-Straight Alliance at school and enjoys hanging out with new friends who are gay. She also has been active in theater and choir for several years and knows gay people from those activities.
I am OK with her having those friendships, but I am not comfortable with her pursuing same-sex physical relationships at her age.
If she decides to live this lifestyle as an adult, we will continue to love and support her. How do we approach the next four years of high school relationships?
Puzzled Parents
DEAR PUZZLED: Sexual awareness, acceptance and ongoing sexual education should be an important part of every parent's playbook.
I'm confused about your definition of unacceptable sexual behavior. If same-sex sexual relationships during high school make you uncomfortable, would your daughter having a sexual relationship with a boy be OK with you? If not, you should definitely let her know. Speak the truth — often — and with honesty and affection. And listen more than you talk.
There are very good reasons not to become sexually intimate before you are mature enough to handle it. The emotional intensity, for one thing, can be overwhelming. The risk of pregnancy and STDs is very real. You sound like very thoughtful people, and it is great that your daughter is so open with you about what she is thinking and feeling. Reach out to PFLAG (www.pflag.org) for more information about how to parent your daughter well. And realize that her sexuality is not a "lifestyle" but very much part of her core identity. Her sexual identification may change through time, but this is less a choice than a very human process.
Send questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

Foreign jihadists from more than 80 countries have flocked to fight in Iraq and Syria on an 'unprecedented scale', according to extracts of a UN report.
UK Daily Mail Around 15,000 people have travelled to fight alongside Islamic State (ISIS) and other hardcore militant groups from 'countries that have not previously faced challenges relating to Al Qaeda,' it said.
The study found a new breed of terrorist was being attracted by the extremist group's 'cosmopolitan' use of social media, pointing to examples when jihadists posted 'kitten photographs' on Twitter. ISIS leaders recognise 'the terror and recruitment value of multi-channel, multi-language social and other media messaging,' it added.
The number of foreign jihadists travelling to fight since 2010 exceeds the cumulative total of the 20 preceding years 'many times', the Security Council study found. 'There are instances of foreign terrorist fighters from France, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland operating together,' the report said, according to the Guardian.
Britain's top police officer, Bernard Hogan-Howe, estimated last week that five people a week were leaving the country to fight with ISIS. Security officials estimate there are currently around 500 British nationals fighting in Syria and Iraq. Dozens have been arrested for preparing to leave to join the IS group or helping others to do so.
France is also moving closer to adopting an 'anti-terrorism' law which would slap a travel ban on anyone suspected of planning to wage jihad. The UN warned that more nations than ever face the problem of dealing with fighters returning from the battle zone.
The US Central Intelligence Agency last month announced figures showing that there were around 20,000 to 31,500 ISIS fighters active in Iraq and Syria, much higher than previous estimates. A US security official estimated that there were close to 2,000 westerners among the 15,000 foreign fighters.
Previous figures showed there were 7,000 foreign jihadists fighting in March and 12,000 in July suggesting 1,000 a month were travelling to fight, despite the launch of U.S. air strikes three months ago, although there is a lag of a few weeks in the figures.
The report was produced by a committee that monitors Al Qaeda and concluded that the once mighty and feared group was now 'maneuvering for relevance' following the rise of the even more militant ISIS, which was booted out of Al Qaeda by leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Despite the split, the UN concluded that the legal basis for US President Barack Obama's fight against ISIS was justified by its ideological congruence with Al Qaeda and considered the two groups as part of a broader movement.

Using that colour scheme (almost), but probably not farsighted. I just don't see the Bomb being very effective. I've got a post planned on a farsighted list, essentially asking folks to explain to me how to make it work!

"Life is too short for a non-activity with stilted conversation."I, on the other hand, empathized with these sentences in the last para of the post.
"I haven't felt ambitious in years, and I don't think that is coincidence. I'd be hard pressed to tell you a detailed vision of something I want, besides to stay in my pleasant life here, because I can't let my wants off the leash enough to inform my imagination. I think I'm paying an energetic cost in holding down the want, and a lack of drive from not wanting anything."--

Maida burfi (Diwali special -2)
Makes : around 50-75
Time taken: 30 minutes in all
Maida/All purpose flour the name it self indicates that it is a multi purpose ingredient used in a host of savories, cakes, biscuits etc I have also put up Maida namkeen on this blog long back. This burfi is an easy but a very delicious sweet dish and can be stored for more than 15 days if stored in air tight containers and for about a month in the refrigerator. I am preparing it for the first time and the picture may not be perfect and will put up a better picture of the final burfi in a couple of weeks. Here is my version of the dish…
What you need to have:
1 Maida – 1/2 cup
2. Sugar – 3/4 cup
3. Pure ghee/oil/dalda – 1/4 cup
4. Cashews -7-8
5. Saffron strings – a few
6. Cardamom – 3
7. Water for sugar syrup – little more than half(approximately)
Other ingredients of burfi
What you do with what you have:
1 Sieve maida in the sieve to get rid of any impurities. Place a wide pan with the required quantity of ghee in it on medium flame. On being heated add powdered cashews and fry till done and and sieved maida to it and fry it on medium/low flame on adjusting the flame till you get a pleasant aroma but make sure you do not burn it. Transfer it to a plate and add cardamom powder to it and keep it aside. Keep another plate greesed to spread the burfi mix beforehand. Maida being fried in pure ghee
2. Place a wide pan with little more than 1/2 cup water in it and add sugar to it and bring it to boil on adjusting the flame and bring it to 1 string consistency.(when you touch the sugar syrup between your thumb and fore finger there must be a single string) Sugar being boiled
3. When the syrup reaches one string consistency adding saffron strings switch off the gas and add fried maida-cashew mix to it and keep stiring till it becomes a little hard for you to stir but still in a semi solid form.(Adding maida to sugar syrup should be done off the gas) Spread it on a greased plate kept ready beforehand and either level it withback of a flat bowl or the roti roller to required thickness. Cut it to required shape and transfer it to a plate for a closer view of the dish. Fried maida cashew mix being added to sugar syrup Ready to serve maida burfi
Makes : 50-75 (thin burfi)
Time taken: 30 minutes in all
Good to remember: 1. Maida should be fried with powdered cashews on medium flame till you get a pleasant aroma for better taste. Also for easy cutting of burfi.
2. Sugar syrup level plays a main role in this dish.
3. Thinner the burfi more the number would be and hence better to spread it very thin on a greased plate or a wooden plank.(Today i have used 1 cup sugar andit turned out top be extra sweet so i felt that reducing the quantity of sugar would serve the purpose.)
Ragi flour-coconut burfi
Ready to serve Ragi flour & coconut burfi
Makes : 25
Time taken : 45 minutes
Ragi atta is so good from health point of view as major portion of Ragi Flour is carbohydrate, followed by protein and fiber. It has the least amount of fat in them. Ragi flour also contains a sulphur based amino acid called Methionoine which is essential for promoting healthy skin and hair. The Sulfur which we get from Methionine helps produce a substance called lecithin which helps reduce cholesterol, reduce fat inside the livers and help protect kidneys. This methionine is generally lacking in staple diet of some of the vegetarians and hence regular Ragi intake will help get enough of these amino acids.

#PassTHIS to Carly Fiorina
In lieu of Carly Fiorina's recent anti-science rhetoric against cannabis in the second Republican presidential debate, we are encouraging our readers to "#PassTHIS" article directly to her (see instructions below). For those not subjected to the drug warrior propaganda on live TV, the clip in question is provided for your reference.
As cannabis legalization becomes increasingly popular, a new study suggests not only that the plant is effective at soothing pain, but that it may actually help reduce America's widespread addiction to painkillers.
The study, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, found that states with legal medical cannabis dispensaries saw admissions to addiction treatment centers due to painkiller dependency fall significantly, indicating medical cannabis "may [contribute to] a reduction in harms associated with opioid pain relievers, a far more addictive and potentially deadly substance."
Opiates are so deadly, the authors noted, that drug overdoses are a leading cause of death from injury in the United States, outpacing car accidents, suicides, and gun shot fatalities. 80% of new heroin (opiate) addicts were previously addicted to pharmaceutical painkillers, while in 2010—as the researchers detail—16,651 people died from opioid overdoses—making up 60% of all overdose deaths. In spite of the well-documented dangers of painkillers, rates of prescription skyrocketed 300% over the last decade, leading the CDC to declare the problem an "epidemic."
The authors note 24 states that currently allow medical cannabis, but clarify that they focused on the 18 states that have legally protected dispensaries—retail locations where patients can purchase weed. They found that in these states, there was a decrease between 15-35% in admissions to addiction treatment centers for prescription abuse, explaining the rates were most pronounced after three or more years of legalization.
Help us bring the truth about the War on Drugs to the mainstream! Using the hashtag #PassTHIS, send a friendly reminder to @CarlyFiorina that the age of Refer Madness is over:

Chronically Ill 6-Year-Old Walks for First Time After Medical Cannabis Treatment
The effect of medical cannabis on painkiller addiction has been addressed in one previous study, which found that "states with medical marijuana laws on the books saw 24.8 percent fewer deaths from painkiller overdoses compared to states that didn't have such laws." That study, however, examined a smaller amount of data and invoked a narrower range of statistical methods than the NBER analysis released this week. The NBER's study's results provides a more thorough analysis.
The findings constitute yet another example to add to the growing list of ailments cannabis helps to alleviate. From seizures to cancer and Crohn's disease—among countless others—prohibitionists now fight an increasingly uphill battle to keep the plant illegal. Their goals are effectively equal to denying medicine to sick individuals (beyond medical benefits, other studies suggest marijuana is less dangerous than other state-sanctioned drugs).
The authors provided the caveat that they were unsure if the effects of legal medical marijuana dispensaries were short-term or would continue to affect addiction. Further, they analyzed the data at a state-level — not an individual one — making it difficult to pinpoint the exact impact of more relaxed state attitudes toward medical marijuana.
Even so, the findings add yet another nail to the Drug War's coffin, further embarrassing individuals and institutions that promote prescription pills while archaically demonizing the very medicine that can help to treat addiction to those drugs.

We had a wonderful time this weekend celebrating Easter and our resurrected King!
This year the Easter Bunny came early to our house. We knew we were going to have a busy Easter Sunday so we thought the Easter bunny could drop by early. Ava loved opening her basket. Her favorite things were the plastic eggs, a fruit bar and her bubble stick. I am actually taking back one of the things we got her. She wasn't really interested in it and truthfully she has so many toys and things to play with already that she didn't really need it. Honestly, I think she would have been happy with just the eggs and some of her favorite snacks. HAHA…I think I did the rest for me really.
After we opened the baskets Ava had her first Easter egg hunt at our house. It was so much fun to see her hunting all of the eggs. It brought me so much joy to see the excitement and determination on her face. Oh my goodness! It was the best!
Once Ava's basket was filled she would dump out all of her eggs. She did this over and over again.
She also waved to the neighbors passing by. It was so cute!
She was a very serious Easter egg hunter.
The reality of trying to take a family picture with a toddler.
Later that day we dyed some Easter eggs. Well at least we tried. We tried to make some tie-dyed eggs but that didn't work out very well. This is about how far we got. Maybe next year we will step up on egg dying game.
The next day we woke up early and headed to Orlando to surprise my parents at their Church. Everyone came home for Easter. It was so nice and such a wonderful time!
I got some snuggles in with my nephew. Oh my goodness he is such a cuddly baby! I just love him so much!!!
I mean seriously…look how cute they are.
Here is my wonderful sister (my best friend) and my favorite brother in-law.
And Ava LOVED seeing her Uncle Andrew.
After church we went back to Nona and Papa's house for another Easter egg hunt and some delicious food!
Next, year Ava's little cousins will be running around and bringing her some competition so this year we made sure she received lots of practice!
Next, year Ava's little cousins will be running around and bringing her some competition so this year we made sure she received lots of practice!
Afterwards, Ava and Nona had a pantry snack party in the kitchen.
Some of my three favorite men helping out in the kitchen.
Meanwhile…Ava figured out how to climb Nona and Papa's stairs.
For lunch we had ravioli with the choice of spaghetti gravy or soup, a honey glazed ham, roast beef (stuffed with garlic for extra flavor), my Momma's gravy (she makes the best), mashed potatoes, southern style green beans, pineapple casserole, biscuits, deviled eggs, and coconut cake and sour cream cookies for dessert. It was DELICIOUS!!!
Here's proof that my child does smile for pictures (when cake is involved).
The day truly was amazing! I couldn't think of a better was to celebrate our resurrected King and the many blessings he has blessed us with!

DSpace-CRIS is the first free open-source extension of DSpace for the Research Data and Information Management ever developed. Differently from other (commercial) CRISs , DSpace-CRIS has the institutional repository has its core component, providing high visibility on the web to all the collected information and objects.
It is a specific extension of DSpace: it broadens its functionalities and expands its data model while relying on its large Community. DSpace-CRIS is compliant with relevant international standards (such as CERIF, IIIF) to facilitate interoperability and data transfer.
The main characteristic of DSpace-CRIS is its flexible data model, which allows you to collect and manage research data and information typical of a CRIS system, to define entities and attributes with their reciprocal links. If you would just want to enhance the management of authors, provide name variants and IDs such as the ORCiD, exploit the varied ecosystem of persistent identifiers, link researchers to projects, awards, etc., DSpace-CRIS flexible data model can support this without aggravating the management burden of a normal institutional repository, while giving a great added value. Besides, it has useful features such as aggregated bibliometrics and statistics with graphic reporting, CVs and bibliographies, integration with ORCiD API v.2 and much more, you can explore them using the menu on the left.
Its flexibility allows to configure different data models and metadata schemas, allowing the community to find new and creative uses of DSpace-CRIS, such as DSpace-GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) for the Cultural Heritage.
What is a CRIS?
A Current Research Information System (CRIS) - also called Research Information Management System (RIMS) – stores and manages data about research conducted at an institution. Its scope is to provide researchers, managers and administrators, funders and decision makers, with a solid knowledge of the research activities, their outputs and results to inform institutional strategies.
CRIS systems are also useful to evaluate research performance, expose results to find new funding opportunities, avoid duplication of activities, analyze trends, reference to full-text or multimedia scholarly publications, locate new contacts and identify new markets for products of research, disseminate research to support open knowledge.
The DSpace-CRIS' Vision: Publications are an important component of the research lifecycle: they create links between scholars and they support research administrators in the measurement and decision making processes. However there are many other equally important entities in the research ecosystem that need description, reciprocal links and tracking, such as projects, grants, patents, organization units, researcher profiles (people), etc. Integrating and contextualizing all these entities along with publications, creates great value for each of those entities in terms of visibility, discovery and the understanding of the complexity of the research domain. Nowadays, the most common definition for such integration is "Current Research Information System" (CRIS)
DSpace-CRIS enables the ingestion, storage, display and management of data and metadata for all the abovementioned research entities. This module produces a smooth integration between native DSpace items (publications) and other CRIS entities. All entities can then be linked to each other using autocomplete/lookup functions in the submission/edit phase and/or the inter-navigation in visualizations.
History and maintenance: Two DSpace Committers, Andrea Bollini (4Science) and Luigi Andrea Pascarelli (4Science), are also actively involved in the development and maintenance of DSpace-CRIS (originally developed at Cineca as a project funded by the Hong Kong University). Besides their committment, a larger community is growing around DSpace-CRIS as a means to represent the research domain, see DSpace-CRIS Users.
If and whenever needed, any DSpace-CRIS installation can be easily turned (back) into a basic DSpace installation without the need to change or convert any data. The additional information used by DSpace-CRIS is kept in separate tables, and the integration with the standard DSpace features is provided by the DSpace authority framework.
Stable version
Latest stable version of DSpace-CRIS: 5.8.0 released on 15th Sept 2017
A RC release for DSpace-CRIS 6 is available here: DSpace-CRIS 6.2 RC
it is recommended to use the latest code in the maintenance branch as it includes bug fixes and improvements. Since July 2016 the code is maintained by the original developers in the 4Science repository, free to use for everyone. Feel free to submit your Pull Request to start collaborating with the DSpace-CRIS community
A demo installation running the latest code from the maintenance branch is available here: https://dspace-cris.4science.it/

In his list of upcoming books, Boyd Tonkin, the literary editor of the Independent writes:
Nick Cohen delivers a scathing report on radical alternatives in What's Left? (Fourth Estate, February), to which the long, brave life recounted in Kenneth O Morgan's Michael Foot (Macmillan, March) will make its own reply.
It was kind of him to mention me, but can you see what he's trying to do? On the one hand, there am I delivering a 'scathing' critique of the Left, and on the other, there is the 'brave' figure of old Footie offering his long life as a rebuke and reply. Except that What's Left? is a book suffused with the anti-totalitarian and internationalist values of the democratic Left, of which Michael Foot is a part. I consulted him, quoted him in the chapter on the 1930s and thanked him in the acknowledgements.
Don't literary editors read books anymore?
The liberal consensus is now in a hysterical state. It is making excuses for movements of the far Right and abandoning liberals, feminists and socialists in the poor world. When you point out its betrayals, you are accused of betrayal yoruself. I expect a lot more in this vein.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Farmers in Wisconsin say a wet spring and summer rain is pushing back their harvest timelines.
WKOW-TV reports that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service reports practically all crops were behind for planting and growing.
Mitch Breunig owns Mystic Valley Dairy in Sauk City and plants corn, alfalfa and soybeans. He tells the television station that rain stretched what his normal two- to three-week planting season to nearly two months.
He says he's worried about a short growing season and an early frost that could kill his corn before its harvested. He's also worried he'll have to spend more money drying his corn so he can harvest it.

EMC certification testing as part of 3C, is one of the test must be carried out before appear on the market. In the emc test, because the testing process takes a long time, record large volumes of data and the needs of equipment controlling and other reasons, the use of automatic test system can significantly reduce the manual auxiliary test workload.
In addition, with the testing standards of continuous improvement, emc testing by adding more types of products and testing requirements, this article discussed about the testing requirements of mobile wireless communications products. EMC testing can be broken down into four sub-tests, here only discuss the radiation emission test. This paper analyzes the demand for testing of information technology equipment and mobile phone products in the test were compared with the similarities and differences.
In addition to the need for traditional phone radiation emission tests, need to do their special radiation spurious emission test. Two tests have different concerns, including spurious emission test is to test the product outside of the operating frequency transmission power, different from the radiated emission test tests products in the distance the electric field strength.This focus is the design and implementation of radiated emissions testing system, in its development process, to consider the maintainability and scalability of the software, particularly in the measured parameters configuration and hardware control.
Mobile phones in the testing of this software, need to use a wireless test set simulation to establish a connection with the phone, during which returns the output power to detect the phone connection status, but also noted that the work mobile phone signal processing, to avoid high-power signals directly into the receiver equipment. The software designed in this paper support of the traditional information technology equipment and wireless communications test products, including both GSM and WCDMA wireless communication standard, GSM includes 850 MHz,900 MHz,1800 MHz,1900 MHz four bands.

Shadows of real life ... Amy Ryan and Casey Affleck in Gone Baby Gone. Photograph: Miramax/Everett/Rex Features
For a while earlier this year it looked like Gone Baby Gone was indeed gone, baby, gone - at least for audiences in the UK. This impressive thriller, directed by Ben Affleck in a manner confident enough to suggest he should jack in the day job, was pulled from the release schedules last year. The reason for this vanishing act was the close proximity of the film's plot to a real-life high-profile disappearance. Gone Baby Gone follows two Boston private eyes (Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan) hunting for a child who was swiped from her bed while her mother was out. Ring any bells?
Any similarity with the Madeleine McCann case ends with the initial kidnapping. Indeed, that act is merely the catalyst for the film's surprisingly rigorous analysis of class prejudice, as well as some nicely layered characterisation that will appeal to fans of The Wire. (The film is adapted from the novel by Dennis Lehane, a sometime writer on The Wire, and shares two cast members with that flawless HBO series - Amy Ryan, aka McNulty's Season 4 squeeze Beadie, and Michael K Williams, best known as the legendary gay outlaw Omar.)
The film will finally open here in June, so I won't say any more about it now (except to tip you off that it has the best final scene of any movie this year). But I do wonder about the wisdom of temporarily shelving it. To some extent, the distributor (Walt Disney) was in a cleft stick. Had it released Gone Baby Gone back when Madeleine McCann's disappearance was fresh news, the tabloids would doubtless have responded with headlines like "Hollywood's Sick Maddie Cash-In", and the film would have been unfairly sullied and sunk. By erring on the side of caution, and deferring the release date, Walt Disney manages to appear sensitive and tactful, and still reap the benefits of having Gone Baby Gone known widely as the Madeleine McCann film - which may look to some like a win-win situation, a blinding PR coup.
The third option, to simply leave the film in limbo or dump it onto DVD, is the worst of all. No work should ever be hidden or slighted because of an overlap between art and life, least of all an inadvertent one. Television programmes are often pulled at the eleventh hour because of perceived potential for offence. But although some films have been altered in production (like the Twin Towers scene excised from Spider-Man ), I can think of only one recent example that was sent straight to video due to a spurious connection to current events - the Ian McEwan-scripted thriller The Good Son, starring Macaulay Culkin as a malevolent child, which went unreleased in the wake of the murder of James Bulger.
Who is being spared when the screening of a film or television programme is suspended in this way? If it's the family involved, then that's surely a disproportionate reaction to accommodate the feelings of a very small number of people. Of course, the truth is that it is no longer limited to those persons directly involved. Coverage of the McCann family has been so immoderate that some susceptible newspaper readers may take offence on behalf of the McCanns at the release of a film like Gone Baby Gone. The trend in the modern media is to encourage the public to respond intimately and demonstratively to individual stories as though they have happened to us - whether by wearing yellow ribbons to acknowledge Madeleine McCann, or mourning the death of Princess Diana with flowers and teddy bears. In this feverish climate, it's no wonder that people take umbrage so easily, endorsed by skewed media reporting that devotes thousands of pages to one lost life but glosses over millions dead in distant lands. (When was the last time anyone was up-in-arms because, say, the massacre in the recent Rambo movie might have upset audiences offended by the slaughter in Iraq, Afghanistan, Darfur or China?)
Besides, I don't see why it's so terrible if people take offence at a film because it coincides with life. Why do so many of us expect to be protected from the experience of being offended? It's blatantly obvious that, in time, there will be some officially approved film about the kidnapping of Madeleine McCann, just as cinema eventually gets around to adapting every real-life drama. Walt Disney did the best it could in a hysterical media climate by keeping Gone Baby Gone on ice. And I'm sure the distributor of The Orphanage would have done the same, if only the revelations about children's homes in Jersey, which coincide slightly with the film's story, hadn't come so close to release (or if it didn't know only too well that the media rarely gives a hoot about anything not in the English language).
But we do ourselves no favours by consenting to this phenomenon of mollycoddling-by-media, where our right not to be offended eclipses our right to be treated as adults.

Is it okay to double deposit at colleges? Part 1
It's April 1st, and many high school seniors across the country are learning today which colleges accepted them and which did not. Those students who applied to a range of colleges are likely to receive more than one acceptance, and for many, a difficult decision lies ahead. For some, "double depositing" becomes attractive.
What's that?
I asked a college administrator and a college admissions counselor to explain it from their different perspectives--one representing a school and the other the student. Below is a post written by Bruce Vinik, president of Vinik Educational Placement Services, Inc., in Cabin John, Md. A follow-up post -- "The problems with double depositing: Part 2" -- is by Michael Sexton, vice president for enrollment management at Santa Clara University in Silicon Valley, Calif.
By Bruce Vinik
Double depositing: Two words that strike fear in the hearts of even the most seasoned college admissions officers.
Now that high school seniors have received the news they have been anxiously awaiting for the last few months, the time has arrived for them to make one final decision.
If they have been fortunate enough to gain admission to more than one college, they must decide where they intend to spend the next four (or more) years. And that decision must be made by May 1st, the national reply date for all admitted students.
For many students, this is an easy decision; they have a clear first choice and know exactly where they want to go to college. To guarantee themselves a space at their favorite school, all they need to do is send a non-refundable enrollment deposit check. At some colleges this may be as little as $100, while at others it can be as much as $500 or $1,000.
For some students, the final choice is not so easy. They have two or three colleges that they are considering and aren't sure about what to do; they love all of their schools for different reasons. And though they re-visit their colleges and look to teachers and friends (and even parents) for guidance, they are racked by indecision. So what do they do? They postpone the inevitable by sending checks to two colleges – that is, they double deposit.
What many of these students and their parents don't know is that double depositing is a violation of their responsibilities as established by the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC). The reason many of them don't know they are in violation is that they have never heard about this or any other "responsibility" and have no idea who or what NACAC is. But students need to understand that double-depositing is wrong.
Colleges dislike double depositing because the practice creates an enormous amount of uncertainty about the size of their incoming freshman classes. They can't be certain about the number of students who are going to show up for the fall because they can't be certain that each student who has made a deposit will attend.
Since many colleges don't require payment of the first semester's tuition until shortly before the start of the academic year, schools can be left with beds to fill and budget shortfalls that they did not anticipate. Some colleges may find themselves over-enrolled and with a shortage of housing for students. Neither situation is a happy one. In order to prevent double depositing, some colleges actually check enrollment lists at other schools for offenders.
A college that discovers a double depositor is within its rights to withdraw that individual's offer of admission.
Equally important, double depositing hurts other students because it wreaks havoc with waiting lists. Colleges cannot offer admission to students on their waiting lists if they are uncertain about the number of depositors who will actually matriculate. Since schools are hesitant to do anything that will lead to over-enrollment, some applicants who would normally be admitted from waiting lists are not. As a result, double depositing prevents deserving students from being admitted to their favorite colleges.
Although many students struggle to make that final college choice, the decision is not a life-or-death matter; most of them will be happy wherever they spend the next four years.
Double depositing may allow those with a tendency toward procrastination or indecisiveness to delay the inevitable, but eventually even they will have to make a decision. Students should do the right thing and make the choice by May 1st.
