Hi there,
1. When you withdraw earnings with the Payoneer, when the money is credited to the card can you then withdraw the money to a bank account.
2. What re the fees involved?
1. You can't directly
2. 3% for withdrawal and some maintaince cost. You can read about it on the Payoneer fees page.
So you can go to your bank and transfer the money from the card into your bank account?
Yes, you have a ATM in your bank
As mentioned above, while we do not offer direct card to bank transfers, you can use your card online and offline, at any location worldwide accepting debit MasterCard cards (which includes ATM cash withdrawals).
Additionally, when paying via debit at some stores, the merchant will allow you to get "cash back" up to a certain amount, which is another way to get some cash while avoiding the ATM fees (it depends on the merchant of course).

Date: 02/16/2011
Time: 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Location: U of M Bookstore Coffman Memorial Union
Cost: Free
Local author and University of Minnesota history professor Tracey Deutsch will discuss her book, Building a Housewife's Paradise: Gender, Politics, and American Grocery Stores in the Twentieth Century, on Wednesday, February 16 at 4:00 p.m. at the University of Minnesota Bookstore in Coffman Memorial Union, 300 Washington Ave. S.E. Minneapolis.
Deutsch examines the history of food distribution in the United States and demonstrates the important roles that gender, business, class and the government have played in the evolution of the American grocery store. The supermarket, that icon of postwar American life, emerged not from straightforward consumer desire for low prices and convenience, but through government regulations, women customers' demands, and retailers' concerns with financial success and control of the "shop floor." From small neighborhood stores to huge corporate chains, Deutsch traces the origins of contemporary food distribution through topics as varied as everyday food purchases, sales tax, ideologies of domesticity, politics and the history of capitalism.
Deutsch will sign copies of her book following the discussion. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, or to order a signed copy visit www.bookstore.umn.edu/genref/authors.html.

Foreign-language Oscar submissions set new record

"Caribe"; Fiji, which submitted Vilsoni Hereniko's "The Land

Two movies arrived in the wake of local controversies.
Christian Carion's "Joyeux Noel," from France, drew a complaint
from France's independent producers union that the choice was
"politically motivated." When Italy's first submission, Saverio

Those who know me know my two grand passions: cake with buttercream frosting and the "Gilmore Girls."
Currently, I'm watching season two on DVD.
For those who don't know about the "Gilmore Girls," it's a now-canceled TV series about a single mother and her teenage daughter who live in Stars Hollow, a quirky little town outside Hartford, Conn. The mother, Lorelai Gilmore, is young, gorgeous, witty, talks a mile a minute, loves movies and TV and eats like a horse.
To the editor,
A much anticipated and appreciated Cynthiana event, Museum Grist Mill Day, will not be held this year. Due to family illness, the William Kelly family will be unable to host this community activity.
Some 12 years ago, Bob Hyatt and William Kelly and their wives initiated Grist Mill Day to support the Cynthiana-Harrison County Museum. The festivities were enjoyed by many and sizable donations were given to the museum.
Awwwww... spring.
I never seem to notice how the weather depicts my mood, until the hint of spring arrives, as it did last weekend.
"Why am I so uncontrollably happy?" I thought to myself as I drove around town Saturday morning.
My car windows were rolled down and a breeze swept over my bare arms.
On a walk Sunday evening, I watched as families played softball and enjoyed picnics at the Handy Farm park.
It was this weekend's spring weather that urged me (and what appeared to be so many others) to come and stay outside.
To the editor:
On a spring afternoon, an old soldier gave his last address to the cadets at West Point. In it, General Douglas MacArthur reminded them of a great moral code. "A code of conduct and chivalry that will be with me... always." Unhappily, General MacArthur's famous words are not fully executed at Harrison County High School.
Is everyone as hooked on America's Next Top Model and I am?
Well, it's not just any "top" model, it's our own Celia Ammerman.
I haven't missed a show.
On Wednesday, supper has to be over and the dishes cleared and washed by 8 p.m. That's when the strikingly beautiful Celia fills the Barnes' television screen.
I wonder, when the judges are harsh or the other girls have their claws out, just how Mom and Dad (Meg and Bob Ammerman) are reacting.
I am happy to announce that St. Edward School has hired Sister of Notre Dame Mary Ruth Agnes Delaney as principal for the 2009-2010 academic year. Sister Ruth Agnes comes to Cynthiana with a distinguished career in education. She is excited about her new appointment and is eager to meet students and parents. I invite you to join us for our School Open House on Thursday, May 21 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. so you can meet Sr. Ruth Agnes.
My daughter, Alison, is still laughing.
Her 7-year-old daughter, Caroline, was out on the deck the other day hollering to her friends, "Yo! What up, homies?"
Alison said she was both horrified and amused. "I don't remember giving birth to a gangsta," she said.
I reminded her of the time we walked to her elementary school to see who her first grade teacher would be that year. The lists weren't posted yet and she shook her head and said, "What a bummer."
Easter weekend this year proved to me that there are still good and honest people in this world. Late Saturday afternoon, April 11, I decided to go to Wal-Mart to get some lemon pie filling and crust for my niece's birthday. I was informed it was her favorite pie. It also happens to be my husband's favorite and Friday happened to be his birthday.
There are three people I would like to thank; Doris, Sue and a lady whose name I do not know.

One of my biggest challenges with my candlemaking is getting a wick perfectly centered. I thought I had struck oil here, but its truly a piece of junk. The company that makes it offers to have you send it back to them to be adjusted, but the cost is yours at about half the price of the device. Truly, don't waste your money.
Submitted On 2015-02-05 Brent
This is a handy tool that's fairly simple to use, and makes centering your wicks in most containers very straightforward and a lot more precise than other methods.
However, it isn't particularly well made. After a few light uses (using barely any pressure, just enough to stick the wick sticker to the container) following the recommended instructions, the crimp that keeps the magnet in place became dislodged. I did get it tamped back down and the tool has worked since, but the construction method and quality of the materials used is lacking.
I also recommend using wicking that has some stability to it, as plain braided cotton can be a little tricky to get into the tube. Mine may just have a pit or a burr on the inside that catches the wick, but I tried different, sturdier wicks and it worked much better.
All in all, a handy, inexpensive tool for light use. My order also came with free wick stickers, and the shipping was quick, which I appreciated.

Traction, ride, feel in all conditions is outstanding. Until 30,000 miles. They wear well but when they start to wear they wear fast. Ended up getting 35,000 miles out of them which is great for a mud tire but probably should have dumped them at 32,000. Outstanding all around mud tire and look beastly but the are expensive.

Scientists working at creating allergy-free eggs
The hypoallergenic egg team: Tim Doran (left), Cenk Suphioglu and Pathum Dhanapala
Article Summary
Of all the childhood allergies, an allergic reaction to eggs is one of the most common. Typically, reactions can include wheezing, nausea, headache, stomach ache, and hives. In extreme cases, however, anaphylactic shock can result, which can itself sometimes lead to death. Eggs are difficult to avoid, too - they find their way into many foods that might not seem particularly "eggy," and are even used in flu vaccines. Needless to say, for some time now, scientists have been working on making eggs safe for everyone. A team from Australia's Deakin University is now claiming that they're well on the way to producing not just hypoallergenic eggs, but the chickens that lay them.

Game Change in the Asia-Pacific: The South China Sea and TPP
March 27, 2012 // 4:00pm — 5:15pm
Asia Program
China has recently been a major force in political games in the Asia-Pacific. For example, it has succeeded in partly disengaging the United States from the trade framework in Southeast Asia by promoting "low quality" Free Trade Agreements in the region. China has also viewed the ASEAN Regional Forum and East Asia Summit as convenient non-binding and consensus-based arenas that allow Beijing to avoid dealing with hard issues such as maritime disputes in the South China Sea. The Obama administration's much-discussed "Asia Pivot" is an attempt to reinsert the United States into regional political games and is perhaps most evident in the administration's focus on the Trans-Pacific Partnership multilateral FTA. How is the United States' reemergence as a regional player changing the existing components of the political game? What trade and strategic initiatives is Washington undertaking? How will other regional players, such as Japan and India, respond to American and Chinese moves?

Critical Essay by Lisa See
SOURCE: "Cynthia Kadohata," in Publishers Weekly, August 3, 1992, pp. 48-49.
In the following summary of her interview with Kadohata, See provides details of the novelist's life, reports on her ambivalence towards being hailed as a new voice on the Asian American literary scene, and relates her approach to the writing process.
On the lanai of her Hollywood bungalow, Cynthia Kadohata sits with her legs curled under her body, periodically brushing her black hair away from her face. As she shyly responds to PW's questions about her work, her answers are like interior monologues—exploratory, self-searching, provisional and at times uncertain. Surely she should feel little hesitation over her career—at age 36 she has produced two novels, received a prestigious Whiting Award and an NEA grant, and earned comparisons to Mark Twain, Jack Kerouac, Raymond Carver and William Faulkner.
In 1989 Kadohata received glowing reviews for The Floating World (Viking), an apparently autobiographical novel about a Japanese American family traversing the country—a mundane yet magical world of backwater towns, gas stations and truck stops—with a cranky grandmother in tow. In her new novel, In the Heart of the Valley of Love, out this month from Viking (Fiction Forecasts, June 1), Kadohata has used her sparse prose to paint a picture of Los Angeles in the year 2052. It is a world where the haves live in "richtowns" and the have-nots contend with frequent riots, corruption and the black market. Until recently, this vision might have seemed more appropriate to the realm of science fiction, but the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles have proved—if nothing else—how open Kadohata's eyes, ears and heart are to the world around her.
Readers of The Floating World will already have formed a sense of Kadohata's early life, much of it spent on the road with her family. She was born in Chicago, then moved to Arkansas, Georgia, Michigan, back to Chicago and, finally, at age 15, to Los Angeles, where she attended but dropped out of Hollywood High School. "I had gone to an alternative high school in Chicago, and Hollywood High wouldn't accept a lot of my credits," she explains, pausing to add, "But I also didn't fit in. I became intensely shy. It got to the point that going to the grocery store and talking to the cashier really made me nervous." She clerked in a department store and she served up hamburgers at a fast-food restaurant. When she was 18, she gained admission to Los Angeles City College. She later transferred to USC, where she graduated from the school of journalism.
Then, in 1977, while Kadohata was walking down a street in L.A.'s affluent Hancock Park, a car jumped the curb and smashed into her, breaking her collarbone and mangling her right arm. She didn't realize the extent of her injuries until her doctor told her that had she not had prompt attention, she'd be looking at a "sure amputation." She was 21, and the accident made her realize that anything could happen. "Life is unpredictable," she observes.
At loose ends and still recovering from her accident, Kadohata moved to Boston, where her sister was living, and discovered the city's great bookstores. "I started looking at short stories," she remembers. "I had always thought that nonfiction represented the 'truth.' Fiction seemed like something that people had done a long time ago, and [like something that] wasn't very profound. But in these short stories I saw that people were writing now, and that the work was very alive. I realized that you could say things with fiction that you couldn't say any other way."
Supporting herself with temp work and the money from her insurance settlement, she set herself the goal of writing a story a month, submitting her work to the Atlantic and the New Yorker. In 1986, after 25 rejections, the New Yorker bought a piece called "Charlie O"; later it took two more; Grand Street and the Pennsylvania Review also published her tales. All would end up as chapters in The Floating World. (The Atlantic, she notes wryly, has yet to buy her work.) After a stint in the University of Pittsburgh's graduate writing program, she decided to enter Columbia University's graduate writing course as a way of "segueing into New York."
She still feels torn between traditional education and the education of the road. "It's always a battle in my head: 'Oh, I've got to be reading. I feel so guilty.' On the other hand, I feel if I don't go out there and do wacky things, like traveling, it will make my writing dry. Besides, you can't help admiring people who never went to school, travel around and are incredible writers. There's something romantic about that."
Despite her commitment to writing, Kadohata dropped out of Columbia, too. There were several factors this time: the tuition was expensive and life on the road continued to beckon but, most important, she sold The Floating World. On a plane during the winter break of '87-'88, she had read an article about super-agent Andrew Wylie. "I thought, 'Now this is a scary person,'" she says now. Coincidentally enough, when she got back to New York, she found two letters from Wylie in her mailbox: he had read her story "Jack's Girl" in the New Yorker and wanted to see more. "I called a friend and said, 'That scary man wrote to me.' She said, 'Cynthia, you call [him] right now.'" When she finally met Wylie, she found him to be "very smart, very kind."
Even after Wylie sold The Floating World to Dawn Seferian at Viking in the spring of 1988, Kadohata still found the prospect of being a writer intimidating. "I would go into bookstores and browse through all those how-to-write books. It still doesn't feel totally natural to say that I'm a writer. I'm still really drawn to that section in a bookstore, and it's still discouraging. It's sort of like picking at a scab." She shrugs off her good notices for The Floating World. "Reviews feel arbitrary."
After the release of The Floating World, many critics suggested that Kadohata was a new voice on the Asian American scene—a Japanese Amy Tan, as it were. "For the first time in my life, I saw that there could be expectations of me not only as a writer but as an Asian American writer," she says. "On the one hand, I felt like, 'Leave me alone.' On the other hand, I thought, 'This is a way I can assert my Asianness.' I wrote the book, and I'm Asian, and I'm the only person who could have written it."
But within the Asian American community, especially on the West Coast, the politics of writing about the Asian American experience can be demanding and internecine. To take one example, literary feuding between Maxine Hong Kingston and playwright Frank Chin has been memorably bitter. No less so was the furor among Asian Americans over Ronald Takaki's nonfiction account of Asian immigration to the U.S., Strangers from a Distant Shore. Some readers of Amerasia Journal challenged Takaki's footnotes; others complained that he had not included enough women and that he was pandering to commercial tastes (often, it seems, a sin in Asian American circles). Even in college writing classes, Asian American students have been known to dismiss Amy Tan's work, insisting, "That's not the way it happened in my family."
Kadohata has not been able to sidestep these artistic controversies and conundrums. They are impossible to resolve, she believes, for she could not write what was true to her if she had to make that story "historically correct" for the entire Japanese American experience. For instance, "My grandparents were already married when they came to this country," she says. "Well, I've been told my book wasn't historically correct because most Japanese weren't married when they came here. One Japanese interviewer accused me of being socially irresponsible. He asked me if in The Floating World I was saying that all Japanese grandmothers are abusive and in conflict with themselves. Of course not! Obasan [the grandmother] was a character in a novel—not a person representing all Japanese grandmothers. He said that Amy Tan and Maxine Hong Kingston were catering to white people, but I think they and other Asian American writers are just writing from their hearts. Why should their work or my work stand for all Asians? That's impossible."
She describes a panel on Asian American writers sponsored by the Academy of American Poets in which she participated: "Those of us on the panel kept saying that we were writers, trying to play down the Asian part. But I must admit that it did feel safe for all of us to be up there together. The next day, someone complained that the organizers hadn't found a Filipino writer. It's all very category-oriented. But you see, there's so much variety among Asian American writers that you can't say what an Asian American writer is."
While the protagonist of In the Heart of the Valley of Love is a young woman of mixed Asian and American background, theme and setting are far different from those of her first novel. Arriving at them was not easy. Kadohata's Viking contract stipulated that she submit the first half of the novel upon completion. When she reached that point, the narrative was still located in the present. "I wanted to move it into the future, but I kept thinking it was too nutty, too ridiculous. Finally I said to myself, 'Oh just forget it. Just do it.' Before I made that decision, the writing had been hard work, but once it was set in the future, it made sense to me as a book. It changed the mood for me. It made everything seem more eerie. I had the freedom to do anything."
Although the book takes place in 2052, it is very much grounded in the present. Kadohata's world is not exactly "futuristic" but rather more like Los Angeles on a bad day. Speaking of which, Kadohata notes, "My boyfriend and I used to go to a bakery, and it always seemed peaceful, except that every five minutes, someone homeless or crazy walked by. When you see, day after day, that more and more communities are enclosing themselves, you realize that inevitably it can't work. It seemed to me that there was going to come a time when there would be riots [in L.A.], but I was as amazed as anyone when they came. I guess I should have set the book just three years ahead."
Although Kadohata says that she doesn't write according to a schedule, her friends call her a "pitiless writing machine." She is bewildered by the comment. "I just do it and don't complain about it," she says. She wanted the writing in In the Heart of the Valley of Love to have a dreamlike quality, which came more easily once the book was set in the future. "I've always had paranoid dreams that have cataclysmic changes in them. And they've always ended with my having to do something violent to survive or to help someone I love survive. I think the book ends on a hopeful note. Yes, this can happen and everything will be okay. Writing the book may have purged my fears."
It also became a way of dealing with her accident. Francie, the book's 19-year-old protagonist, is pinned against a wall when a car jumps a curb; her arm is crushed. "I thought this was a way for me to come out of the closet, in a sense," she says. "I have friends who have never seen my arm. Sometimes I catch people, especially women, staring at it. Sometimes I have to turn away, because I don't want them to see that I know they're looking." But for Kadohata, writing about events in her life has sometimes blurred the line between what is real and fictitious. "Sometimes I can't remember if something has happened to me or to my character. My memories become their memories, and their memories become mine."
She's begun working on her next book, which she coyly describes as "a pile of writing that's not even close to being shown to anyone yet." What she will say is that she has been interviewing people in their 70s, 80s and 90s. "I guess the book will be about the friendship between two women as they go over their lives together and separately. My first two books were written in the first person, and I'm sick of writing the word 'I.' I'd like to write from a different point of view, and right now I'm compelled to be with older people."
But always there's the lure of the road as an inspiration. "I remember once I was crossing the country by bus," Kadohata says dreamily. "I don't remember where I was going or where I was coming from, except that I was in a slightly seedy bus station at three in the morning in the middle of nowhere. I had this feeling of 'I am really happy at this moment.'" Kadohata may not always be at ease with her career, but there is no hesitation as she speaks about the sources of her art.

Authorities say the incident happened in December 2013. The 45-year-old Ortiz allegedly fired two shots into the door of a residence before forcing the door open. Authorities say he held a gun to one victim's neck and another victim's forehead.

- Chuck Mead played Washington D.C. on Saturday, where Juli Thanki says barstools outnumbered patrons.
If Mead was disappointed at the paltry turnout, he never let on, performing each song like he was in front of a packed house…
Mead and the Boys ripped though nearly three dozen songs in two hours, mixing tracks from his new record with BR549 originals and a wide variety of covers, including songs by 50 percent of The Beatles (George's "Old Brown Shoe" and Paul's "Sally G"), a revved up version of Johnny Horton's "The Battle of New Orleans"," and Ernest Tubb's "Waltz Across Texas," dedicated to a couple celebrating their first anniversary.

- James Reed on Brad Paisley: "He's quickly becoming his generation's George Strait."
21 Comments
Brad Paisley IS his generation's Strait. Even though I'm part of that generation and Strait is my Strait.
So, Paisley's understated delivery is what makes him this generation's Strait? I've never been sure why we need to assign athletes and artists with such "new generation" labels to begin with, but if you're going to do that, shouldnt you provide more of a reason than that?
I remember a DJ in Dallas, back in '95 or '96 saying that Clay Walker was the "new" George Strait…hhmmmm.
Lucas Wynne is the new greatest artist alive. Let's spread that around.
That'll be as accurate as the "Clay Walker is the new Strait" rumor :-)
I just listened to Del Rio, Texas 1959 again. I forgot what a great album that is.
RE: Chuck Mead; I caught Gary Bennett by accident in Nashville and he was playing to maybe 12 people. Great show too, and great guy. He plays with his nephew as The McNeils every wednesday at The Full Moon Saloon in lower broadway.
Speaking of Clay Walker, his "Greatest Hits" CD is still one of my favorites to this day.
Paisley plays a helluva guitar and sells a ton of records. Let's not confuse that with becoming the next George Strait 'cos vocally, they ain't in the same ballpark nor will they ever be.
Funny thing is that I figured Kenny Chesney would become the next "george strait" when his first few records came out. Touring wise, he probably has and he is 'himself,' even if he's pushed buffett-styled beach music onto the mainstream fandom.
Matt B, when you had that thought about Chesney becoming the new Strait, what was it that you thought would be similar between the two to warrant such a comparison? Just curious, cuz I dont quite "get" such comparisons usually…
The huge difference between Paisley and Strait, however, is that Paisley writes his own material and plays a mean guitar, while Strait is a great vocalist. Of course, both are keeping the country flame alive from a trad. standpoint.
Countrystandardtime.com has a review of Brad's new one BTW!
I had a similar experience at Chuck Mead's short set at The Mint here in LA awhile back. The place was almost empty then right after Chuck's set the local novelty act "Smith & Pyle" packed the place out! Chuck and his band gave it their all for the handful of fans that knew who he was and bothered to show up. Unless artists like Chuck get featured and plugged on LA's NPR radio stations (like KCRW) few people in LA will know who they are as Chuck and BR5-49 will never be played on LA's Top 40 "Young/Airhead Country" FM radio station.
That Brad Paisley / George Strait comparison is so assinine as to not even warrant a snarky comment…
I'm shocked that you guys even know who Corb Lund is. He's a pretty huge deal in Canada, and in some circles, is seen as a bit of a saviour for Country music. His "Hair In My Eyes" album is one of the best albums to be released in the last 10 years, I think.
Noeller, I first heard Corb's song "Five Dollar Bill" a couple of years back on an Aussie country radio show over the internet. I've seen him perform twice here in Los Angeles within the last year and missed one other show of his. I'm just glad he likes to perform here in LA as very few folks here know who he is, well except for the recent immigrants from Canada that is. Corb always puts on a fun show to be sure, eh? Now take off hoser! (Oops, wrong thread…lol)
Noeller & Rick: I know he at least has a small fan base here in the mountains of VA. I first heard of him when a co-worker gave me a mix with Roughest Neck Around on it.
When I caught him in Nashville (the day before I caught Gary Bennett, interestingly) he was playing the basement and previewing his newest album that he was in town recording. Put on a killer show, and a great guy to boot. There were only maybe 50 people there, but EVERY ONE OF THEM was a big fan of his. If they weren't when they showed up, they were when they left.
Corb Lund has been mentioned, oh, about a million times here on The 9513…hardly a well-kept secret.
Corb Lund is brilliant, as has one of the tightest bands in country music.
Yes, The Hurtin' Albertans are a VERY tight band! They just keep on producing solid, REAL Country music. It's definitely not mainstream, but it's raw and honest.
As an aside, Corby used to be the bass player for a Canadian rock group called "the smalls" back in the 90s, before leaving to pursue his current venture.
"The Hurtin' Albertans" is one of my favorite band names.
Yeah, it's a common name for people who are really over-the-top proud of being Albertan, so it was a perfect name for Corb's band. I think my favourite song is "Time To Switch To Whiskey" but there are MANY that qualify as "Great" !!
no matter what a performer let's on, its gotta be a tough pill to swallow to play in front of 10-20 people when youve had a pretty long and positive career. Mead has hit a career tailspin, creatively and literally. Its time to probably go behind the scenes for awhile.

BOISE -- Governor C.L. Butch Otter has appointed veteran congressional staffer Jani Revier as administrator of the State Division of Financial Management.
When Revier takes the post on January 2, 2013, she'll become the state's first female budget director. She succeeds Wayne Hammon, who resigned in September to become Executive Director for the Idaho Associated General Contractors.
I m extremely fortunate to have such an experienced, savvy and proven leader agree to assume the responsibilities of budget director, Governor Otter said. I worked closely with Jani in Congress and I ve known her and her family for many years. They are great people, and Jani is an excellent addition to my team.
Revier served as legislative director and then deputy chief of staff during Otter's years in Congress, from 2001 through 2006.
I am honored and grateful to be given the opportunity to serve Governor Otter and the people of Idaho as DFM administrator, Revier said. I look forward to working with the Legislature, agency directors, stakeholders, and my colleagues in the Governor s office to advance a responsible budget and sound public policy.
Most recently, Revier worked as a special projects manager for Congressman Mike Simpson.
Revier has a bachelor s degree in agricultural economics from Oklahoma State University.

Chubby cheeks are no longer in. Obese children grow up with low self-esteem and myriad health problems. Experts tell how to tackle the issue right
Time was when children who were plump and chubby would have friends and family cooing "cho chweet", and dismissing it all as nothing but puppy fat. Today, paediatricians and obesity specialists look at it as proof that childhood obesity, emerging as one of the chronic conditions of childhood, is on the rise.
N. Karthik Nagesh, HoD, Neonatology, and consultant in paediatrics, Manipal Hospital, Bangalore, and president of the Indian Academy of Paediatrics, Bangalore chapter, says that "in the last 10 years, there has been a 45 per cent increase in the incidence of childhood obesity. In a study from 1991 to 2007, obesity among pre-school children aged two to five increased from five per cent to 10.4 per cent; from 6.5 per cent to 19.6 per cent among children aged six to 11, and from five per cent to 18.1 per cent among adolescents."
Current statistics show that 16 per cent of children across the country are overweight and 31 per cent are at a risk of becoming overweight. Though more studies are needed to understand the prevalence of overweight and obesity in India (prevalence studies take place over a period of time), school-based data shows "an obesity range of 5.6 per cent to 24 per cent for children and adolescents in India", Dr. Karthik says.
Why is childhood obesity so rampant? Ravindran Kumeran, consultant laparoscopic and obesity surgeon, and founder trustee, Obesity Foundation India, puts it down to "hereditary and genetic factors, lack of physical activity and television commercials promoting unhealthy foods and eating habits".
A study conducted by MV Hospital for Diabetes, Royapuram, among school kids in Chennai, across socio-economic groups, showed that "high prevalence of childhood obesity is due to improper diet patterns of children — they tend to skip breakfast, have a very light lunch and go in for heavy snacks and dinner — and the lack of physical activity," says its managing director Vijay Viswanathan.
Pinning the problem down to urbanisation and modernisation, Dr. Karthik states that: "More than 20 hours of television a week, eating junk foods and drinking sweetened beverages, a growing interest in video games, mobile games and the Internet, snacking between meals on high-fat, high-sugar food (chips, cakes, pastries, chocolates, pizzas, burgers, etc.) are, often, prime causes. If the child's birth weight was high or low, if the parents are obese and if the mother developed gestational diabetes or became obese during pregnancy, the child is at a risk for obesity."
When is a child considered obese? Says Dr. Karthik: "A child whose BMI percentile falls above 95th percentile for age is considered obese; if it falls between the 85th and 94th percentile, the child is labelled overweight. It is important to plot BMI percentiles for each child during health visits to recognise the problem early, and address it."
Is obesity in children a potential health hazard? "Yes," says Dr. Ravindran. "It is not just a cosmetic problem."
Striking a cautionary note, Dr. Karthik says: "These children are at risk for many problems during the paediatric age group itself — asthma, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea and, even, behavioural problems. From a community perspective, obese children tend to be labelled lazy and unintelligent, suffer from low self-esteem, feel isolated and turn out to be bullies or get bullied. As adults, they could be prone to polycystic ovarian syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, malignancies and osteo-arthritis. "
Dr. Vijay points out that obesity in children leads to several metabolic abnormalities such as increased cholesterol and diabetes levels, besides cardio metabolic problems such as hypertension and coronary artery diseases. In some cases, it can translate into obesity in adulthood. "Fat accumulation is not to be encouraged in children because it is associated with many cardiovascular risk factors in later life," he adds.
"Obese children can go on to become obese adults unless successful weight loss strategies are adopted. It is important to be within the healthy weight range even during childhood," stresses Dr. Ravindran.
How is childhood obesity treated? Dr. Karthik prescribes "lifestyle modifications (see box), stepping up physical activity, diet counselling, weight maintenance rather than weight loss and behavioural therapy, if needed." Also, weight reduction should be slow, and not more than half a kg per week.
Adds Dr. Ravindran: "Family support is integral to ensure that weight management goals are met. If parents express little concern over their child being overweight, they are not ready to make the necessary changes. If the child is depressed, that needs to be tackled first. For, if a depressed child attempts weight loss and is unsuccessful, it can worsen the depression or lower an already-battered self-esteem."
Points to ponder
Never allow a child to skip meals, especially breakfast
Don't use food as a reward
Avoid unnecessary sweet or fatty foods and soft drinks
Don't allow kids to watch television during meals
Restrict television viewing and video game time
Increase family-friendly exercise and play facilities
Ensure that schools have a physical education plan in place

Beginning with a multi-layered introduction by Daniel Handler that apparently encompasses twelve of the book's thirteen chapters, the book is comprised largely of facsimile documents, such as old newspaper excerpts and letters. The book helps clear up some loose ends from the series, but it also introduces many more mysteries. It also elucidates details which readers might have missed - eg, in The Reptile Room, Uncle Monty takes Violet, Klaus and Sunny to see a movie, Zombies in the Snow written by Gustav Sebald. It turns out that the film is in fact coded with the Sebald Code, and contained a message warning Monty about Stephano, but Snicket states that he suspects Monty never learned the Sebald Code. Another one is shown, making it look like Count Olaf had burnt down the Baudelaire mansion.
It also raises many questions about the V.F.D. organization, which has been a mystery in the books since The Austere Academy. It gives some ideas about the members of V.F.D., including Uncle Monty (though he never learned Sebald Code), Aunt Josephine and her husband Ike, Hector, Lemony Snicket, his brother Jacques Snicket and sister Kit Snicket (referred to throughout merely as "K."). It also raises many questions as to what V.F.D. means, as it has many different things with the initials V.F.D. It also gives the reader the first look at the V.F.D. eye symbol, which is the one found on the ankles of Count Olaf and Jacques Snicket, and other V.F.D. members.
The book uses a mixture of new photography by Meredith Heuer and Julie Blattberg and 1930s photography gathered from an archive of photographs originally used for other purposes. All the photographs are in black-and-white.
The book includes a number of new anagrams which are identified as such by the index with the words "see also anagram" after each name. The names include:
1. Tony "Mommy" Eggmonteror: Author of The Mamba du Mal: A Snake That Will Never Kill Me, the book that Klaus read in The Reptile Room to prove that Uncle Monty's murder was not by the Mamba du Mal. The name is an anagram of Montgomery Montgomery (Dr. Montgomery's full name).
2. Monty Kensicle: Author of The Littlest Elf; his name is an anagram of Lemony Snicket.
3. Lena Pukalie: Author of I Lost Something at the Movies; an anagram of Pauline Kael.
4. Linda Rhaldeen: The "unknown playwright" who wrote the play The World Is Quiet Here. Her name is an anagram of Daniel Handler.
5. Shirley T. Sinoit-Pécer: winner of the Brooks-Gish Award for Best Actress as stated by Lemony Snicket on page 77 of the Unauthorized Autobiography (his newspaper column). He also notes that this person was suspected to be a man. "T. Sinoit-Pécer" is simply "receptionist" spelt backwards, and the name also refers to Count Olaf's disguise as a receptionist named Shirley (T. Sinoit-Pécer) in The Miserable Mill.
The U.S. hardcover edition of the book has printing on both sides of the dust jacket. While one side is the proper cover for the book, the other is one for a fictitious book called "The Pony Party!" by Loney M. Setnick (an anagram of Lemony Snicket). A reference to this is made in The Grim Grotto, when Quigley Quagmire uses the words "pony" and "party" in a telegram as part of a coded message.
There is a song named "The Little Snicket Lad" with lyrics and music in the book. The song is about Lemony Snicket's childhood. The tune is that of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" (which is stated in The Grim Grotto to be Violet Baudelaire's least favorite song). In a postscript to the letter accompanying the song, Lemony Snicket notes that the music "is completely incorrect--the tune appears to be a well-known hymn of naval disaster."
A letter is included to Lemony Snicket from series illustrator Brett Helquist, and mentions that The Daily Punctilio printed stories implicating Lemony Snicket in the Quagmire fire, and are likely to do the same for the recent Baudelaire fire.
More details on the romance and break-up between Beatrice and Lemony Snicket are made. A letter from the Vineyard of Fragrant Drapes to Snicket is produced, alluding to the then-upcoming marriage between the pair, but it contains a coded message warning Snicket away. A near-replica of the same letter, with subtle differences (the vineyard being renamed as the Vineyard of Fragrant Grapes) is also included that refers to the marriage of Esmé and Jerome Squalor.
A theatrical review is given from The Daily Punctilio, by Lemony Snicket, of one of Al Funcoot's plays, in which it is once again made clear that such plays are used chiefly as vehicles for Olaf's plans (as in The Bad Beginning); ironically, the play was originally a V.F.D.-related play with many metafictional references to other material in the book. Snicket's negative review causes him to be forced out of his job by Punctilio editor Eleanora Poe; Snicket's replacement, reporter Geraldine Julienne, plays an important role in the book and the series writing inaccurate articles.
Throughout, Snicket connects the names of various famous real-life authors to V.F.D., and quotes from several supposedly V.F.D.-connected books, such as Charlotte's Web, and Ramona Quimby, Age 8, presumably as a tribute to these books by Snicket's creator, Daniel Handler.
In the letter from Vice Principal Nero, he states the names of a number of books, one or more of which was published in the 1980s, meaning that the series might take place sometime in the 1980s.
