Tony Abbott is beyond appalling
November 15, 2014 Everlasting awfulnessoecomuse
You know how Abbott is just too appalling for words? How every single thinking Australian – and many others besides – are all cringing in horror at the evil clown act we have as Australian Prime Minister? Which is insulting to evil clowns?
You know how all these claims are kicking around social media about Tony Abbott's brain, some of which have – but should not have – ventured into intellectual disability and mental health diagnosis territory? Because we simply can not fully comprehend the repulsive creepiness of this which was apparently democratically elected?
Yes, it is all questions. Tony Abbott is stupendously dense and revolting. But that is not the main problem. The key question we struggle with is this: how is it that a man who is an apparently legitimately elected leader of the country incapable of speaking sense? What the hell kind of system produces a head of government so gross and so hypocritical, so deceitful and so nonsensical? Abbott makes his nasty paterfamilias – the terror-mongering racist John Howard, a conscience-free zone who sowed the seeds for this disaster – seem like a relatively benign and harmless old man. What the hell is going on in this country?
There are four key areas of explanation, and all stem from the fact that Tony Abbott is a typical privileged white male of the most destructive and greedy kind. He is typical, yet extreme. Abbott represents an extreme point on the spectrum of what goes horribly wrong when elite white men continue to hold power, as white men have, for century upon century, lording it over – and profiteering in – human lives, among other imperialist abominations, of which slavery is but one example.
The first is Abbott's Englishness. This is not about Abbott and his failure to renounce British citizenship before standing for Commonwealth Parliament. (As an aside, if Abbott did renounce his British citizenship prior to the first time he contested the seat of Warringah in 1994, you may colour me very very surprised.)
No, this is about Abbott's imperial attitude to women and Indigenous people. It is about his utter disregard for our rights, his inability to understand that we are not only human but better humans than those who reproduce elitist power structures based on exclusion and greed.
Tony does not get this. He appointed himself Minister for Women and for Indigenous Affairs because of the same basic character flaw. As an English-born wannabe try-hard non-aristocrat, he follows in the footsteps of the old-school English elite. Abbott thinks that by declaring something so – a misogynist declaring himself the minister for women, for example – that the rest will simply fall into place. Because he said so. A typical linear elitist thinker, if we can call him a thinker at all.
This brings me to the next two of the four key areas that explain Abbott's unfitness for office: his Catholicism. We need not spend too much time on it. That particular type of sectarianism is a thing of the past, thank goodness. Simply take all the observations about try-hard Tony, and multiply each by at least two, because Tony is not Church of England, but Tony is a wannabe non-aristocrat of the English-born variety.
Many of us whose ancestors were relatively early occupiers of this continent, and who rarely identify as any nationality other than Australian, are descended from the feckless second sons of the minor British aristocracy. The gamblers and womanisers and drunks. Those who missed out on primogeniture (probably just as well) and were sent to the colonies to become magistrates and police chiefs and senior bureaucrats because who better to lead a new nation than such characters? Who better to benefit from – and bequeath to their descendants – the riches of the stolen land?
Such is the pseudo upper-class English mind, and its mindless faith that blue blood – even said blood diluted to within an inch of its minor aristocrat concentrate by whiskey and miscegenation and interracial marriage – somehow trumps merit-based promotion, genuine leadership, local knowledge, and belonging to the land. This wholly untrue and ultimately disgusting elitism is how the LNP collectively thinks, and this is how someone like Tony Abbott ends up in power.
So Tony Abbott embodies an imperialist Aust-Brit mentality with its aristocratic pretensions; as well as embodying a Catholic-Brit try-hard attempt to be accepted by the protestant majority. This is bad enough, but Tony has two other flaws that feed into his way of speaking – his inauthentic and meaningless mendacity, that vision-free zone that lacks any global outlook, which in fact lacks any quality that a Prime Minister should display.
Abbott is still the Australian Prime Minister, difficult as that is to withstand. The first two explanations are historically based. The next two are current. Together with his gross and apparently incurable creepiness, the history and current afflictions represent a kind of quinella of incompetence and nastiness that no polity should endure. He is destroying the country.
In his Oxford days, Abbott was a boxer. He was an average student. He would not have been eligible for the Rhodes scholarship on which he famously went to Oxford university had he not eventually applied for Australian citizenship – in order to get the scholarship – and not before – we will always be a bunch of colonials to Abbott. The scholarship is designed for a renaissance man, exceptional in sport as well as in mind. Abbott is neither. I am sure I do not have to point out to anybody that an idiotic bully like Abbott is not a renaissance man. But he was nothing if not ambitious, and boxing was his chosen 'sport'.
This is hardly surprising: fighting is all Abbott does. He can not build consensus, or form a coherent sentence, let alone a persuasive argument. His only achievements are reliant on the fact that he is a privileged white male who attended elite educational institutions, a path forged and paid for by parental and demographic wealth rather than individual ability of any kind. This is contrary to liberal ideology of course, but liberalism – like democracy itself – has always been by the propertied white male for the propertied white male.
Abbott likes to punch, literally and metaphorically, and it has got him to where he is, but that does not make him good at anything but punching. Disastrously for us, Abbott punched his way to the top in an organisation – the Liberal National Party – which rewards thuggery.
So Abbott can punch, but not very well. He took a lot of hits to the head. This is the third explanation for his imbecilic performance at the G20 in Brisbane this weekend, his partisan, parochial bullshit, his inability to rise to the occasion. Abbott is incapable of rising to any occasion for that matter – other than an election campaign (the 2013 version of which he is apparently still waging).
I am told by a colleague of a specialist sports injury professor and a retired wrestler that Abbott shows every sign of frontal lobe damage. The ahhh and umming. The unspeakable tongue thing. The lip smacking and man-handling. Yes, he is an unreconstructed sexist racist homophobe, but he is also incapable of retaining more than one thought at a time, or processing any input without assistance. No-one in need of this much neurological rehabilitation should be in his position.
The final problem relates to the point about Abbott the man who is incapable of processing thoughts. Affairs of state, geopolitics, the measures by which a civilised society shows its values – say, treatment of the vulnerable – are all beyond Abbott.
Abbott has a Chief of Staff who assumes all roles and delegation power over what assistance he will receive. This has been a monumental failure at every level except one. The one success is that Abbott got elected to the Prime Ministership.
Other than that, his first year in office has been a nightmare of incompetence, spin, cruelty and creepiness. We can not ignore the winking, lip-licking creepiness, because it rears its ugly head so often. Abbott has been spray-tanned and hair-dyed and botoxed to within an inch of his appearance, yet still he can not articulate a policy, or take the reins of government. He can spout three word slogans and bad-mouth the opposition – but this is to not take the reins of government at all.
I do not pretend for a moment that I think Tony Abbott was ever capable of any sort of statesmanship, or leadership, or anything other than his ugly bullying power-seeking self. He found his spiritual home in the Liberal Party, and it is by membership of the Liberal Party that he has become Prime Minister. But I do think that these four general points go some way to explaining just how low we have gone with this man in the Prime Ministerial seat. And what a crying shame it is that the Liberal Party is not motivated to be even slightly more true to its principles, simply because he is in power, despite the fact that liberalism is being trashed by Abbott and his cabinet, trashed beyond repair.
So here we are: the country run by an LNP coalition headed by a delusional misogynist, a racist homophobe; an elitist white male in thrall to an imperial past; driven by a sectarian history; a man so embarrassingly inarticulate he is both intellectually and spiritually incapable of putting together a warm or constructive sentence; who is also a bully and a liar; and who is unfit to hold public office.

Abbott was identified and backed by then Senator Nick Minchin as a man who could run a deceitful campaign of neoCon reconstruction while lying about his intentions without breaking into a guilty grin, blushing or batting an eyelid.

Tony Abbott is grossly appalling beyond our wildest expectations! He utterly shames his British heritage, and the Australia he now represents.
Bodysoluble says:
I could not agree more. We have already lost a huge part of our national identity to this failed leadership, who knows how long it will take to get it back. If ever. Gone is the fair go, the equality for all, all the great legacies of the Whitlam administration, such as health care, reconcilliation, human rights, education, diplomacy and compasiion. Here we are, nationally back-pedalling to the Dickensian days of workhouses, orphanages, female subservience, marital rape, white male supremacy, ignorance and blindness. I am tired of these fascist, narcissistic, pathological liars being in charge. I'm extremely tired of them attempting to screw out the poor and middle classes, not to mention screwing the environment, to send as much welfare as possible to the, frankly, bloated mining industry. I've had it.
PS: Loved this article, really, really well said. And I agree completely, there is zero possibility he renounced his citizenship, he's too much a social-climbing Anglophile to EVER do such a thing. I imagine he will eventually retire in the UK, once he's screwed Australia for all he can get. His disdain for this country is tangible.
very well said yourself, it is sad we are forced to apologise for both our Country and our so called Leaders…..I know we have far to go…but now…we have to 'retrace' our steps to get back to where we were….Psychopath is the word Im trying to find…when will we make our leaders legally responsible for the damage they cause a country, its inhabitants and our vulnerable citizens…and refugees…appalling to far too polite….Im sure we can come up with a more descriptive term….! Disgusted and concerned.
Glen Camenzuli says:
This is probably the most telling and yet most depressing critique of Tony Abbott I have read yet. Now that we have had a year to get to know Tony for who he really is, this blog post rings crystal clear. By the time another 2 years have gone by, I think there will be celebrations when he is gone, much like the ones celebrated around the world when George Bush left the oval office! I don't like what is happening to my country under the stewardship of Abbott, not one little bit. Australia (and the world) deserves better than this!!!
Len crook says:
I would have been happy if the writer has put their name to the piece. I may be wrong but I could not find it anywhere.
You are all a bunch of grade A fuckwits. Go get a job.
Yes… thank you for that intelligent response. Very telling. The ship is sinking and you are obviously welded to it. Enjoy the ride.
yeah right ANONYMOUS…your opinion is obviously well credentialled.
Oh, well argued, Anonymous. How proud you must be to share the intellectual capacity of our Dear Leader. Maybe, between the pair of you, you will find two neurons to rub together. Sure beats sitting around waiting for the one you each possess to fire up.
If Tony Abbott is all these things how come he is not leading the labour party????
Judging by
sunkensheep says:
If you have been following parliamant for the last decade (yes, I have no life etc. etc.) you would know exactly who TA is, and who he works for. Interestingly, I find TA more bareable in Governemnt than when he was in opposition. [recent events aside – cough APEC cough]. What I take issue with are the actions and policies of the government.
That said, treating the electorate with contempt, (ab)using a position of power to attack on your political oponents and civil society, and so on are not so much a sign of lack of intelegance, far from it. They actually represent a sociopathic tendancy – Abbott continuing the role of bully that he has played for over a decade. They also coinside (and fit neatly into) the ascendancy of the far right faction of the Liberal Party.
I wish people would just take a step back from the name calling, and start to work on the enourmous logical inconsistancies of the neo-liberal agenda. The almost deification of the buisiness/'entrepenerial' elite might be a good start. Also perhaps we should ask why alternative forms of organisation are not allowed to compete with 'free markets'? There is a lot to work with when deconstructing the dominant naritive of the far right.
jordo says:
Dont blame abbott, he is the the dumb numpty, silly enough for the rest of them, to jam at the front line to take the hit, for what the rest of them want. They will oust him soon enough, pretend it was HIM, not them, and try to win Australia over again, while not changing a singe abbott thing back. watch it happen.
Jack McClintock says:
Very prescient Jordo – that is exactly what has happened.
I hope you feel better after writing that.
I sure feel better after reading it. Catharsis by proxy?
Amusing; but disturbing at the same time. Well done!
delede says:
He lied re. his citizenship status to get the Rhodes

What You Don't See Can Hurt You!
Keep a dirty office and suffer woes that extend beyond those you might imagine. Sure, your productivity will take a hit. Your reputation might, too. But did you know an unkempt workspace could also make you ill?
So confirms a recent study out of the UK that warns that people who work in offices that are not kept to a hygienic standard put themselves at risk of picking up viruses from their surroundings that could land them in a sick bed.
The news is particularly relevant at this time of year, as the world hunkers down for the usual onslaught of cold-and-flu-season-induced illness, and the inevitable spate of absence that follows.
The study found that office-thriving creepy-crawlies occupy carpets, desk surfaces, phones, computer screens and almost two-thirds of computer keyboards—some in such numbers that mould had formed underneath.
• Introduce systems to the workplace that pick up where your cleaning service leaves off. Colour-coding cloths, for example—red for sensitive areas like the washroom, green for general-purpose cleaning and blue for glass—sets the stage for improved health at the office.
• Remember that germs are spread by hand contact. Take care that light switches, door handles and phones are being cleaned regularly.
• Hire a cleaning firm you can trust. A dependable, dedicated service with a reputation for attention to detail and an appreciation for the role it plays in fending off health risks among office workers is worth its weight in gold. Ask your cleaner whether they bring cloths from other jobs into the facility, or if they can assure you that only dedicated cloths are employed on your site.

The Battle of Agincourt (IPA pronunciation: [/ɑːʒɪn'kuːʁ/]) was fought on October 25, 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day), in northern France as part of the Hundred Years' War. Immortalized by William Shakespeare's play, Henry V, Agincourt is remembered as an iconic moment in British history. Its memory has often been evoked to raise morale and to stir patriotic loyalty in the face of great odds.
The armies involved were those of the English King Henry V and Charles VI of France. Charles did not command his army himself, as he was incapacitated. The French were commanded by the Constable Charles d'Albret and various prominent French noblemen of the Armagnac party. The battle is notable for the use of the English longbow, which the English used in very large numbers, with long bowmen forming the vast majority of their army.

Henry V invaded France for several reasons. He hoped that by fighting a popular foreign war, he would strengthen his position at home. He wanted to improve his finances by gaining revenue-producing lands. He also wanted to take nobles prisoner either for ransom or to extort money from the French king in exchange for their return. Evidence also suggests that several lords in the region of Normandy promised Henry their lands when they died, but the King of France confiscated those lands instead.
The English army landed in northern France on August 13, 1415, and besieged the port of Harfleur with an army of about 12,000. The siege took longer than expected. The town surrendered on September 22, and the English army did not leave until October 8. The campaign season was coming to an end, and the English army had suffered many casualties through disease. Henry decided to move most of his army (roughly 7,000) to the port of Calais, the only English stronghold in northern France, where they could re-equip over the winter.
During the siege, the French had been able to call up a large feudal army, which d'Albret deployed between Harfleur and Calais, mirroring the English maneuvers along the river Somme, thus preventing them from reaching Calais without a major confrontation. The result was that d'Albret managed to force Henry into fighting a battle that, given the state of his army, he would have preferred to avoid. The English had very little food, had marched 260 miles in two and a half weeks, were suffering from sickness such as dysentery, and faced large numbers of experienced, well equipped Frenchmen.
However, the French suffered a catastrophic defeat, not just in terms of the sheer numbers killed, but because of the number of high-ranking nobles lost. Henry was able to fulfill all his objectives. He was recognized by the French in the Treaty of Troyes (1420) as the regent and heir to the French throne. This was cemented by his marriage to Catherine of Valois, the daughter of King Charles VI.
Despite this, Henry did not live to inherit the throne of France. In 1422, while securing his position against further French opposition, he died of dysentery at the age of 34. When Charles died, two months later, he was succeeded by Charles VII.
Henry was succeeded by his young son, Henry VI, under whose reign the English were expelled from all of France except Calais, by French forces inspired by Joan of Arc.
Henry and his troops were marching to Calais to embark for England, when he was intercepted by French forces. It is believed the French outnumbered the English throughout this encounter; however, it is very difficult to accurately estimate the numbers on both sides. Estimates vary from 6,000 to 9,000 for the English, and from about 15,000 to about 36,000 for the French.
The battle was fought in the narrow strip of open land formed between the woods of Tramecourt and Agincourt (close to the modern village of Azincourt). The French army was positioned by d'Albret at the northern exit so as to bar the way to Calais.
The battle of Agincourt
Early on the 25, Henry deployed his army (approximately 900 men-at-arms and 5,000 longbowmen) across a 750 yard part of the defile. It is likely that the English adopted their usual battle line of longbowmen on either flank, men-at-arms and knights in the center, and at the very center roughly 200 archers. The English men-at-arms in plate and mail were placed shoulder to shoulder four deep. The English archers on the flanks drove pointed wooden stakes called palings into the ground at an angle to force cavalry to veer off. It has been argued that fresh men were brought in after the siege of Harfleur; however, other historians argue that this is wrong, and that although 9,200 English left Harfleur, after more sickness set in, they were down to roughly 5,900 by the time of the battle.
French accounts state that, prior to the battle, Henry V gave a speech reassuring his nobles that if the French prevailed, the English nobles would be spared, to be captured and ransomed instead. However, the common soldier would have no such luck and therefore he told them they had better fight for their lives.
The French were arrayed in three lines, called "battles," each with roughly 6,000; however, the first is thought to have swelled to nearly 9,000. Situated on each flank were smaller "wings" of mounted men-at-arms and French Nobles (probably 2,400 in total, 1,200 on each wing), while the center contained dismounted men-at-arms, many of whom were French scions, including twelve princes of royal blood. The rear was made up of 6,000-9,000 of late arriving men-at-arms and armed servants known as "gros varlets." The 4,000-6,000 French crossbowmen and archers were posted in front of the men-at-arms in center.
The deciding factor for the outcome was the terrain. The narrow field of battle, recently ploughed land hemmed in by dense woodland, favored the English.[1] The 900 English men-at-arms are described as shoulder to shoulder and four deep, which implies a tight line about 225 men long (perhaps split in two by a central group of archers). The remainder of the field would have been filled with the longbowmen behind their palings. The French first line contained between six and nine thousand men-at-arms, outnumbering the English men-at-arms more than six to one, but they had no way to outflank the English line. The French, divided into the three battles, one behind the other at their initial starting position, could not bring all their forces to bear: The initial engagement was between the English army and the first battle line of the French. When the second French battle line started their advance, the soldiers were pushed closer together and their effectiveness was reduced. Casualties in the front line from longbow fire would also have increased the congestion, as following men would have to walk around the fallen. The density reached four men per square meter, soldiers could not even take full steps forward, lowering the speed of the advance by 70 percent. Accounts of the battle describe the French engaging the English men-at-arms before being rushed from the sides by the longbowmen as the melee developed.
The fighting
On the morning of the 25, the French were still waiting for additional troops to arrive. The Duke of Brabant, the Duke of Anjou and the Duke of Brittany, each commanding 1,000–2,000 fighting men, were all marching to join the army. This left the French with a question of whether or not to advance towards the English. Shakespeare has Henry deliver an inspirational speech before the start of battle, in which he tells his men:
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.[2]
For three hours after sunrise there was no fighting, until Henry, finding that the French would not advance, moved his army further into the defile. Within extreme bowshot from the French line (300 yards), the archers dug in palings (long stakes pointed outwards toward the enemy), and opened the engagement with a barrage of arrows. The use of palings was an innovation: During the battles of Crécy and Poitiers, two similar engagements between the French and the English, the archers did not use them.
The French at this point lost some of their discipline and the mounted wings charged the longbowmen, but it was a disaster, with the French knights unable to outflank the longbowmen (because of the encroaching woodland) and unable to charge through the palings that protected the archers. The longbows' main influence on the battle was at this point: Only armored on the head, many horses would have become dangerously out of control when struck in the back or flank from the high-elevation shots used as the charge started. The effect of the mounted charge and then retreat was to further churn up the mud the French had to cross to reach the English.
Following the knights' charge, the constable himself then led the attack by the line of dismounted men-at-arms. They outnumbered the English men-at-arms by several times, but weighed down by armor and sinking deep into the mud with every step, they struggled to close the distance and reach their enemies. The mud was knee-deep or worse in places, and the French men-at-arms would have been very slow, and easy targets for the English bowmen. Armour technology at this stage in history had become more advanced than in the earlier medieval period but was still vulnerable to longbow arrows, especially at close ranges where the longbow was said to have penetrated plate visors and armor as if it were cloth. However, the archers quickly ran out of arrows and resorted to the daggers, or leaden mallets many of them carried to drive in the stakes, and engaged the French knights.[3]
The thin line of English men-at-arms was pushed back and Henry himself was almost beaten to the ground. However, because of the number of men they had brought into the battlefield, and the fact that the battlefield narrowed towards the English end, the French found themselves far too closely packed, and had trouble using their weapons properly. At this moment, the archers, using hatchets, swords, and other weapons, attacked the now disordered and fatigued French, who could not cope with their unarmored assailants (who were much less hindered by the mud), and were slaughtered or taken prisoner. By this time the second line of the French had already attacked, only to be engulfed in the mêlée. Its leaders, like those of the first line, were killed or captured, and the commanders of the third line sought and found their death in the battle, while their men rode off to safety.
One of the best anecdotes of the battle involves Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, Henry V's youngest brother. According to the story, Henry, upon hearing that his brother had been wounded in the abdomen, took his household guard and cut a path through the French, standing over his brother and beating back waves of soldiers until Humphrey could be dragged to safety.
The only French success was a sally from Agincourt Castle behind the lines. Ysambart D'Agincourt with 1,000 peasants seized the King's baggage. Thinking his rear was under attack and worried that the prisoners would rearm themselves with the weapons strewn upon the field, Henry ordered their slaughter. The nobles and senior officers, wishing to ransom the captives (and perhaps from a sense of honor, having received the surrender of the prisoners), refused. The task fell to the common soldiers. It is believed more Frenchmen died in this slaughter than in the battle itself.
The next morning, Henry returned to the battlefield and ordered the killing of any wounded Frenchmen who had survived the night out in the open. All of the nobility had already been taken away. It is likely that any commoners left on the field were too badly injured to survive without medical care.
Due to a lack of reliable sources it is impossible to give a precise figure for the French and English casualties. However, it is clear that though the English were considerably outnumbered, their losses were much lower than those of the French.
Claims that the English lost only thirteen men-at-arms (including Edward of Norwich, 2nd Duke of York, a grandson of Edward III) and about 100 foot soldiers are quite unlikely, given the ferocity of the fighting. Henry deliberately concealed the actual losses by paying the English retinues at their pre-battle strengths while quickly spreading the story of only minor losses, which persists to this day. One fairly widely used estimate puts the English casualties at 450, not an insignificant number in an army of 6,000, but far less than the thousands the French lost.
The French suffered heavily, mainly because of the massacre of the prisoners. The constable, three dukes, five counts, and 90 barons were among the dead, and a number of notable prisoners were taken, amongst them the Duke of Orléans (the famous poet Charles d'Orléans) and Jean Le Maingre, Marshal of France.
The Battle of Agincourt did not result in Henry conquering France, but it did allow him to escape and renew the war two years later.

Yankees' Masahiro Tanaka has elbow surgery to remove bone spur

NEW YORK >> Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka has undergone arthroscopic surgery to remove a bone spur from his right elbow.
The team said Mets medical director Dr. David Altchek operated on Tanaka at the Hospital for Special Surgery on Tuesday and that typical recovery time includes six weeks of exercise and strengthening, followed by a throwing program.
The Yankees added that the injury dates from when Tanaka pitched in Japan; he signed with New York before the 2014 season.
Tanaka was diagnosed with a partially torn elbow ligament in 2014 and decided against surgery. He was 12-7 with a 3.51 ERA in 24 starts this year and lost to Houston in the AL wild-card game.
Tanaka was on the disabled list from April 23 to June 3 with right wrist tendinitis and a forearm strain, then missed a September start because of a strained right hamstring.


This recipe is inspired by Asian lettuce cup appetizers, usually filled with a ginger-hoisin flavored chicken mixture. Here I have taken a Southwestern slant, and have created a spicy chorizo filling for the iceberg lettuce cups. Serve the filling in a bowl, surrounded by the lettuce cups.
1. Saute the chorizo until well done over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until the chorizo has become granular. Drain well with multiple layers of paper toweling.
2. Place the cooked chorizo in a small bowl and add the jicama, chopped cilantro, lime juice and yoghurt—adding enough for a thick mixture. This filling can be made ahead of time and reheated to a warm temperature just before serving. Will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week.

5 Sodium Myths Debunked
by Maria Trimarchi
Salt and Sodium are the Same
This first myth, that salt and sodium are the same, is just that: a myth. Sodium is an essential part of salt, which is also known as sodium chloride, but sodium is also found in many other places. Sodium is an alkali metal, like potassium, and is not only used to flavor our foods, but also as a preservative, binder and stabilizer.
It's important to read food labels, including both the nutritional facts -- where the amount of sodium in the product is listed -- and the ingredients list. Salt is an obvious source of sodium, but also look for other forms, including any word or phrase that begins with 'sodium,' such as sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), sodium benzoate, sodium chloride, sodium saccharin and sodium stearoyl lactylate among others. Also keep an eye open for sodium sources that may not be as obvious, such as disodium phosphate, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and trisodium phosphate.

Remortgaging property owners are taking full advantage of record low interest rates and the cut to the Bank Rate according to research from Connells Survey and Valuation.
In October, the number of remortgage valuations was 16.8% higher than it was in October 2015, as homeowners locked into attractive deals.
The volume of valuations undertaken on behalf of first-time buyers also increased significantly, up 15.4% compared to October 2015. Similarly, there was a 6% year-on-year increase in the number of valuations for home movers selling property.
Buy-to-let activity contracted 13.3% over the last 12 months – although there were 4.5% more buy-to-let valuations in October 2016 than in September 2016.
Overall, October has seen a notable 6.4% increase in the number of all property valuations compared to the same month last year.


BE DOPE NEWS (BDN) Officials at San Jose International Airport have chosen BeIA as the core technology behind a new weapons system that is being built with the sole intention of shooting down Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's private plane whenever it tried to take off or land outside normal operating hours.
"As reported often in the press, Ellison routinely violates airport regulations, flying in and out of the airport at all hours, disturbing city residents, despite repeated complaints and citations," said SJO chairman Brooks Thomas Mancini.
"The next warning he'll get is a shot across the nose of his jet," Mancini chuckled.
The new weapon system will reportedly make use of the latest in laser and sonic disruptor technology and be controlled by a user-friendly BeIA appliance. All air traffic controllers will receive training on the device.
"We designed this system not only with maximum destructive power in mind, but also with the strong sense of irony involved in using an 'upstart' OS to finally solve this problem," Mancini added.


Probably full of literary merit -- but decidedly not my jam.
I wasn't planning to write a review of this book, but since I already voiced off in a PM, I might as well copy my thoughts into a post after all.
Long story short, I'm finding, once again, that a combination of art- and purposefully deconstructed speach and a virtually plotless description of drab lives -- or A drab life -- just isn't my kind of thing. Fortunately it's a short book -- picked deliberately because I had a premonition Lispector and I wouldn't get along -- but all the time while I was listening all I could think was, "OMG, and this is what they preferred to Barbara Pym in the 1970s ..."
There were moments when I thought, if only my Portuguese were sufficiently up to snuff for me to be able to read this in the original; maybe I'd be able to pick up on some note or subtext that just got lost in translation. But if the translator's afterword is to be believed, the reverse seems to be true -- according to him, while people with only a limited understanding of Portuguese may actually be able to make some rudimentary sense of the book, it's a seven-times-sealed box to the average Portuguese mother tongue speaker. This has to be the first time I'm hearing it's actually harmful rather than helpful to be fluent in a given language in order to be able to understand a book written in it.

Oath Is Now Verizon Media: Just The Facts
January 25, 2019 Victoria Pallien
As of January 8, Oath is Verizon Media, but they're staying true to what matters most — consumers, partners, advertisers and talent.
What Is Oath, Now Verizon Media?
Oath, the latest subsidiary of Verizon Communications to be renamed, is a digital content company that acts as the umbrella company for AOL, Yahoo, Tech Crunch, Huffington Post and a handful of other content sites in the news, sports, entertainment and finance industries.
Why Was Oath Renamed To Verizon Media?
Originally launched by Verizon in summer of 2017 as a group of brands combined to compete with Google, Oath is now being renamed Verizon Media in response to its revenue decline, according to DigiDay.
What's Changing Now That Oath Is Verizon Media?
While Oath's core values are said to stay the same, Verizon Media Group announced this week that it is planning to lay off 7% of Oath's 11,500-person staff, a chain reaction from the $4.5 billion cut in value of Oath properties. However, despite this week's news, Verizon Media's CEO Guru Gowrappan said they will "continue to scale, launch new products and innovate."
In preparation for the name change, Oath sped up the process for several projects including the following:
Yahoo App Launch. Oath launched the Yahoo! app, which allows users to view their weather, sports updates and news in one centralized location.
Yahoo Finance Expansion. Yahoo! Finance features expanded, offering more content as of January 7, on channels like Apple TV, Roku, YouTube, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Yahoo Sports Live Stream. Yahoo Sports hosted high-quality live streams of local and national football games, resulting in the most games ever streamed on mobile devices.
HuffPost LIFE Launch. Huffington Post launched a section of their publication strictly dedicated to lifestyle content in formats better suited for multi-screen consumers.
BUILD Series Expansion. BUILD expanded its live entertainment, which resulted in seven live hours of daily programming for Fios, ROKU, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
NOW//With Network Launch. Yahoo Lifestyle launched the NOW//With Network platform as an interactive and celebrity-focused alternative where consumers can explore brands and products.
Yahoo News App Launch. Yahoo News launched an app for dedicated journalism, where consumers can get their fill of news and global events.
"Our goal is to create the best experiences for our consumers and the best platforms for our customers," noted a Verizon spokesperson. The Oath team plans to work on developing XR, AI, machine-learning, mobile-edge computing and 5G now that they've been renamed as Verizon Media.
Will Advertising On Verizon Media Differ From Advertising On Oath?
Upon becoming Verizon Media, the brand announced a partnership with Microsoft Bing Ads, which will enable Yahoo search traffic to be served by Bing Ads. Search Engine Journal describes the partnership as simplifying Bing Ads, Yahoo and AOL and making these platforms accessible in Bing Ads. David Pan, General Manager of Global Search Advertising at Microsoft, said, "This [the Bing partnership with Verizon Media] creates new opportunities for advertisers to reach an expanded Microsoft Audience Network with access to Verizon Media properties."
The Verizon Media/Bing partnership should also make it easier for advertisers and marketers to manage their search ad campaigns with better aligned campaigns under Bing Ads. Advertisers can also benefit from a deep dive on their audience segments, offered by the Microsoft Graph and Microsoft AI capabilities, to target the right consumers with the right messages. Plus, Bing Ads predicts marketers may see a 10-15% increase in clicks.
Verizon Media advertising solutions, including content marketing, sponsorships and platforms continue to be available at oath.com/advertising.
What Is The Future Of Verizon Media Advertising Opportunities?
Due to consumers spending more time on mobile devices, desktop ad revenue has been slipping. Although Verizon Media is experimenting with more ad space within mobile content, they're also exploring content paywalls as a way to generate incremental revenue. Verizon Communications CEO Hans Vestberg expects Verizon Media Group to "survive on their merits." Noting strong content, in an interview with Axios earlier this month Vestberg explained the intention for Verizon Media Group to leverage Verizon subscriber data to compete with the likes of Google and Facebook.
Content platforms and media companies have been through a long list of changes in recent years, as they innovate to adjust to new media consumption habits and increased competition for advertising dollars. According to Adweek, Verizon Media Group's planned changes appear to be in alignment with AT&T's 2018 restructure placing the carriers on similar paths to new sources of monetization.

What a large list of recalls, mostly canned cat food from certained brands. I think there was some canned dog food as well but not many.
I over heard a pet store sales clerk talking to someone on the phone how no one is buying anything canned, kibble, or treats from those recalled brands. She was namely talking about Iams and Eukanuba, what looked like the two major brands they sell.
For more specific information what what specific products were recalled, it would be best to visit Menu food's website.
Someone actually took the trouble to make a list and contact all sorts of manufactures to asked them about their products and the food recall, we could all take advantage of their hard work. It was found on http://petsitusa.com/blog/?p=210.
I have my dogs on Proplan for adult dogs right now and I would love to know more about Orijen, even on petsitusa.com Orijen came off smelling like roses. Does anyone have any experience with their dogs on Orijen?

Recently, I've had a lot of people ask me how to deal with duplicate listings in Google My Business now that MapMaker is dead. Having written detailed instructions outlining different scenarios for the advanced local SEO training manual I started selling over at LocalU, I thought it'd be great to give Moz readers a sample of 5 pages from the manual outlining some best practices.
Before you start, you need to find out if the listing is verified. If the listing has an "own this business" or "claim this business" option, it is not currently verified. If missing that label, it means it is verified — there is nothing you can do until you get ownership or have it unverified (if you're the one who owns it in GMB). This should be your first step before you proceed with anything below.
Do the addresses on the two listings match? If the unverified duplicate has the same address as the verified listing, you should contact Google My Business support and ask them to merge the two listings.
If the addresses do not match, find out if the business used to be at that address at some point in time.
Select "Never existed" as the reason and press submit. *Note: If there are reviews on the listing, you should get them transferred before doing this.
If the duplicate lists an address that is an old address (they were there at some point but have moved), you will want to have the duplicate marked as moved.
Is the duplicate listing verified? If it is, you will first have to get it unverified or gain access to it. Once you've done that, contact Google My Business and ask them to merge the two listings.
Select "Private" as the reason and press submit. *Note: If there are reviews on the listing, you should get them transferred before doing this.
This is probably one of the easiest scenarios to fix because solo practitioners are only supposed to have one listing. If you have a scenario where there's a listing for both the practice and the practitioner, you can ask Google My Business to merge the two and it will combine the ranking strength of both. It will also give you one listing with more reviews (if each individual listing had reviews on it). The only scenario where I don't advise combining the two is if your two listings both rank together and are monopolizing two of the three spots in the 3-pack. This is extremely rare.
If the business has multiple practitioners, you are not able to get these listings removed or merged provided the practitioner still works there. While I don't generally suggest creating listings for practitioners, they often exist already, leaving people to wonder what to do with them to keep them from competing with the listing for the practice.
A good strategy is to work on having multiple listings rank if you have practitioners that specialize in different things. Let's say you have a chiropractor who also has a massage therapist at his office. The massage therapist's listing could link to a page on the site that ranks highly for "massage therapy" and the chiropractor could link to the page that ranks highest organically for chiropractic terms. This is a great way to make the pages more visible instead of competing.
Another example would be a law firm. You could have the main listing for the law firm optimized for things like "law firm," then have one lawyer who specializes in personal injury law and another lawyer who specializes in criminal law. This would allow you to take advantage of the organic ranking for several different keywords.
Keep in mind that if your goal is to have three of your listings all rank for the exact same keyword on Google, thus monopolizing the entire 3-pack, this is an unrealistic strategy. Google has filters that keep the same website from appearing too many times in the results and unless you're in a really niche industry or market, it's almost impossible to accomplish this.
It's common to find listings for practitioners who no longer work for your business but did at some point. If you run across a listing for a former practitioner, you'll want to contact Google My Business and ask them to mark the listing as moved to your practice listing. It's extremely important that you get them to move it to your office listing, not the business the practitioner now works for (if they have been employed elsewhere). Here is a good case study that shows you why.
If the practitioner listing is verified, things can get tricky since Google My Business won't be able to move it until it's unverified. If the listing is verified by the practitioner and they refuse to give you access or remove it, the second-best thing would be to get them to update the listing to have their current employer's information on it. This isn't ideal and should be a last resort.
Select "Never existed" as the reason and press submit.
This is always a terrible scenario to have to deal with, but I've run into lots of cases where people don't know how to get rid of listings for deceased practitioners. The solution is similar to what you would do for someone who has left the practice, except you want to add an additional step. Since the listings are often verified and people usually don't have access to the deceased person's Google account, you want to make sure you tell Google My Business support that the person is deceased and include a link to their obituary online so the support worker can confirm you're telling the truth. I strongly recommend using either Facebook or Twitter to do this, since you can easily include the link (it's much harder to do on a phone call).
If you're creating a practitioner listing from scratch, you might run into issues if you're trying to do it from the Google My Business dashboard and you already have a verified listing for the practice. The error you would get is shown below.
Create the listing via Google Maps. Do this by searching the address and then clicking "Add a missing place." Do not include the firm/practice name in the title of the listing or your edit most likely won't go through, since it will be too similar to the listing that already exists for the practice. Once you get an email from Google Maps stating the listing has been successfully added, you will be able to claim it via GMB.
Contact GMB support and ask them for help.

Great post Joy, I have never thought of typing in the location of the place and then adding it in before. I am going to try this with some of our clients that are missing Google My Business. With regards to this, and the Google My Business section on the SERP. When you want yours to come up to the top, how do you go about doing this do you know? Is it a matter of links? A matter of how well your site ranks? I am only asking because i see sites that are position 1 and will be 3rd in Google My Business or not even show up what so ever and other businesses will show up sometimes that are not even in the top 5 of the SERP. What type of SEO would this be called as well?
I am surely not the only one wondering this? Does anyone else agree or does anyone know the answer to my answer?
Local SEO is generally what we call SEO for small businesses that serve a local market (the town/city they are in) and it generally focuses on ranking well in the 3-pack as well as ranking well organically.
Thank you for this it is really helpful and useful.
Great articule Joy, and thank you for this link. I spent an hour to read and reread it the survey, and will prepare some changes in my GMB listing. Thank you!
Very informative post. One thing I want to say that If the Storefronts business has never existed, can we direct check the option 'doesn't exist'? Instead of check 'permanently closed' and select 'never existed'. What's your opinion on this matter? Thank you.
You cannot get to the option for "Never Existed" until you select "Yes" beside the Permanently Closed box. It's just the way Google Maps has it set up. See the screenshot in the article for reference or just try it out on Google Maps and you'll see how it works.
I'm seeing the box, where no option for select "Yes" beside the Place closed box. See the screenshot in a recent reply of the tweet (mentioned earlier). BTW, Now I understand the matter. No issue.
Thank you for reply this it is very helpful.
No problem! I replied to your tweet but will reply here too since I am not limited to 140 characters :) The screenshot you shared is a new layout Google has been testing. Personally, I hate it. Instead of seeing the option to edit on Maps, it takes you to the Knowledge Panel instead and the options are the same (except it calls it "doesn't exist" vs "never existed") but the layout does look different.
Yes, Exactly. Thank you for clearing it up for me.
A word of caution when contacting GMB support - they still seem to think their top priority is making it difficult.
I just went through a chat session with them to try to merge duplicate listings for a client. We had the official listing, and there was a leftover one from when the business changed names.
For some reason the tech decided that since he didn't see a photo of a sign, that the business which is located in a large office building is not eligible to appear on Google Maps. The current listing had been on maps for 6 months, the previous listing for about five years.
All we wanted to do was merge the listings so the search results would be less confusing - an improvement. Maybe we should have not tried to do the right thing and just left both listings alone.
That is a great tip!! I have spent countless hours on the phone with GMB support without much help. Thank you, Joy!
Extremely well broken down and great instructions on handling annoying Google My Business listings that local SEOs run into all the time! Thank you for putting this together- I think this should belong on the Google My Business Help page at https://support.google.com/business/. Great resource you have created Joy, thanks again!
It's a shame that Google Map Maker is no longer in place! That used to be the most efficient way for me to update/report/edit rogue listings.
I solved my duplicate GMB listing issue by using "own this business" option and removed my old business listing which was marked as duplicate but there is no G+ brand page for the newly owned business listing any thoughts?
Google is now making the Plus page optional so you don't have to have one. If you'd like to set one up you can go to Google Plus to do it. It's not an option anymore inside the Google My Business dashboard.
I was trying to claim some unverified practitioner listings on google, but I kept getting error "Sorry, we cannot create a new page at this moment". Anyone encountered the same issue?
Is listings impact on SERP ranks?
Great advice Joy !! I'm going to deploy it for my website and keep it in mind right now. It is always a pleasure to read your post.
Thanks Joy! I wish I had read this sooner. One of our clients is a law firm and they had several practitioners that had GMB listings no longer working for them. I called Google to remove these and it was the beginning of a long-winded back and forth calls. It seems like before we should call them, we should already know what we want to do because they aren't sure what to recommend. Dealing with duplicate GMB listings has always been my least favourite task to do. Knowing this info now makes it easier.
Hi Joy, this is great advice, thank you for this. I currently have multiple cases where a client has 2 businesses at the same address. Is this covered in your guide?
I touch on it in several areas but I think it probably deserves its own section so I'm adding it to the list of items to add in May!
Good post.You said right,always first check Google My Business listing page otherwise duplication happens and it's create problem.. one time I have that type of problem in website.. really good information provide here, it's really too good!!
Thanks Joy, its great to get up to date advice like this, things change so frequently that we need need to keep these steps fresh.
Very good points.I applied different GMB listings to different pages (categories) for a client in the past with great success, just like explained above.
Nice article, good tips to manage your duplicate GMB listings.

Rare's weekly developer update went up today with some good news for those running out of space in their systems. A change in the way to how Sea of Thieves updates is handled is bringing down the installation size of the pirate adventure title by significant amounts across all platforms in February.
Since its launch last year, Sea of Thieves has been getting regular updates, ranging from major expansions to minor cosmetic additions. This has slowly bloated up the game to massive sizes across all platforms, with Xbox One X and PC players suffering the most.
With the new system in place, Xbox One gamers will see the install size go down to a whopping 10GB from 35GB, Xbox One X version will lower to 25GB from 47GB, while those on Windows 10 will see the game shrink to 27GB from the current 47GB.
There is a couple of downsides to this though. The game will have to be redownloaded from scratch once the new update hits on February 6. All future updates will also be slightly larger than usual as well, but they won't massively inflate the base installation like previous updates.
In the same February update, Rare will also deliver a streamer-friendly option that will hide player nametags to prevent stream sniping, remove the double shot instant kill mechanic, as well as something special that the studio is keeping to itself for now.
The upcoming competitive treasure hunting mode to Sea of Thieves, Arena, is still under development as well, with no official release date being shared quite yet. Rare said it is currently going through internal testing and that Pioneers will be able to jump in soon.
