Generally speaking, taking care of cats requires a lot of time and patience in terms of their sensitivity to parasites and fleas. It is a sad fact that if fleas are not promptly found and treated, they can inflict more worrying nuisances on your little pets other than virtually irritating itches.
One of the most popular treatment methods trusted by pet owners is using a high-quality flea comb. Regarding the variety of combs available on the market, customers may get puzzled as to which choice is the best. So, we are here to help you with our reviews of the best flea combs for cats.
What Is a Flea Comb for Cats?
Flea combs are finely toothed tools used to spot out and remove fleas from your pets’ body. The distance between teeth is far narrower in comparison with that of human hair combs.
This serves as a simple yet effective way to do pet fur, particularly those with sensitive skin that easily gets irritated by chemicals found in other flea treatment products. Flea combs are also great tools to help your pet get rid of hairball.
Our Reviews of Best Flea Combs for Cats
1.Safari Flea Comb
On the top of the suggestion list for you comes the Safari flea comb. It is divided into two different categories based on the number of rows: single-row for cats and double-row for dogs with longer hair.
This single-row kind of comb is suitable for various-sized cats. With a lightweight design, it can certainly live up to the expectations of customers in terms of portability and efficiency.
Highly recommended by experts in grooming, Safari flea comb helps find out fleas and eggs from early stages for removal, thereby keeping the condition of cat skin under strict control. With the aid of an extended handle, nits and other debris are easily taken out of your pet body. During the process, make sure to comb with great care the areas around ears, the base of tail and nape of the neck, which are usually hidden by thick fur and thus, left neglected by owners.
It is advisable that the tool is utilized after the application of flea powder or shampoos to maximize its effectiveness. (flea powder is suitable for those unable to be bathed or still too young to accept flea drops). This will save comb teeth from damages caused by any tangle or knot blended with smooth fur. At regular intervals, try to soak the comb into mild detergent or soapy water resolution (as instructed in the enclosed handbook) to cleanse the tool and wash fleas out at the same time. Due to the narrow distance between teeth, the fact that fleeces get stuck in between is unavoidable.
As an all-natural alternative, the comb had better be used on a daily basis to instantly prevent any sign of re-infestation.
2,Oster Animal Care Comb
The Oster Animal Care comb & Protect Flea Comb for Cats is well-known for its ergonomic design to serve the purpose of removing fleas in dogs and cats. With closely-placed teeth made of metal, which is the most durable and dependable material of all, the tool is committed to picking up fleas quickly out of even dense coats. In addition to short-haired cats, this kind of comb also works well on long-haired ones with even taking out foxtails, dirt, etc.
Like Safari flea comb, it is also light in weight, easy to use and suitable for carrying around. Besides, the comb can be neatly laid within the palm of one hand, causing no obstacle to moving the tool freely around the pet for a complete hair grooming.
One special feature that can be easily found out is that the teeth are particularly made to turn 90 degrees away from the skin, which means to maintain the parallel position with the skin during the combing process. Thanks to this special structure, your pets are ensured perfect protection from being raked as other kinds of metal combs. They can be put at great ease to enjoy grooming without feeing any touch of inconvenience.
Though made of metal, the prongs are not too sharp and short enough to touch the skin and run smoothly along the whole body. From my own experience, after using the comb, my cat’ fur becomes shinier and healthier-looking. Even parts of the undercoat can be removed by using an Oster Animal Care comb during the shedding season in the summer.
Contrary to its Safari counterpart, the comb has no handle, which is pretty uncomfortable at first use but will turn out easy to hold by either hand later on.
3.Honbay Double-Sided Flea Combs
A typical product made of plastic that can’t be counted out is Honbay double-sized flea comb. Unlike most combs coming in single packages, it is normally wrapped up in a pack of 4 pieces with different colors including green, white, orange and blue. These are all bright colors, which proves extremely helpful in identifying fleas and skin related problems as quickly as possible. Based on the fur color of your furry friend, you can choose one of the most suitable color in sharp contrast to enhance the efficiency of the grooming process.
One special thing about Honbay is that each comb has two sides which are fit for change while grooming the pet, thereby relieving pressure on each side.
Normally, plastic teeth are not thinly made enough and the distances between them are not close enough to be unable to see the light through them. But it’s not applicable to products by Honbay. Based on my own experience, just after a long period of use do the comb teeth begin to spread.
However, bear in mind that a plastic comb is likely to electrify the pet in contact with its hair. Therefore, it should be used with great caution in the event of dry weather with low humidity.
4.Pet Republique Cat Flea Comb
Coming next in the list is a flea comb produced by the Pet Republique brand, which is committed to donating 15% of its total profits to the American Animal Rescue Society. This is a non-profit organization serving to shelter abandoned dogs and cats. Therefore, any purchase from this trademark is undoubtedly an indication of joining hands in protecting animals.
Comprised of exquisite and flexible pins, this kind of flea comb is popular among pet owners due to its verified efficiency in removing flea debris, ticks, dandruff flakes and mites, thereby keeping your pets well-groomed. In addition, it helps to reduce stray pet hair scattered on the floor or furniture, which proves essential for households having small kids or animal-fur sensitive members. For long-furred cats, knots, matting and shedding can be considerably lessened with the aid of the Pet Republique flea comb.
The handle is designed ergonomically with sinking-printed patterns of cat paws, making it easy to hold and keep under control during the grooming process.
About the bristles, they are made with the proper hardness and resistance to reduce damages to the cat body while still effectively catching and wiping off fleas. The teeth are made closely together so that fleas and their eggs stand little chances of escaping or being omitted.
This product is really worth a try and it definitely works up to your satisfaction with practical effectiveness and great comfort for your pet. Most of the customers agree on its suitability for both short and long-haired cats.
5.Flea Comb with Double Row of Teeth
The flea comb with double row of teeth appears one of the most expensive tools on this list, but it stands to reason to give it a try considering its beneficial structure.
One striking feature that makes this comb stand out from the rest is a double row of closely-spaced teeth. In comparison with single row combs, it certainly just takes double row ones half the time to clean out fleas, eggs, debris and dust. Moreover, upon combing, even if a flea survives the first row, it can by no means continue avoiding the second tightly knit row. Thus, the comb turns out for much help in eliminating fleas.
Hertzko also pays attention to rounding tooth ends to give cats the most possibly comfortable experience of getting hair combed. When it comes to hair grooming, some breeds are highly sensitive to being scratched. They easily get irritated and won’t accept this kind of treatment once they feel unsafe. As a result, Hertzko flea combs are non-invasive and safe options to choose from.
In addition, teeth are made of stainless steel which is able to stand the test of time without any sign of rust. It is also feasible to sanitize the comb after each use.
Besides effectively removing fleas, the manufacturer promises to give pets a soft and shiny coat along with facilitating blood circulation for enhanced health.
6.Li'l Pals Double Side Comb
If you are seeking a product with flea reduction and fur detangling functions in combination, here comes Li'l Pals double side comb.
Unlike other tools made up of a closely-spaced tooth row, a Li’l Pals comb is constituted by 32 closely-spaced teeth made of stainless steel on one side and 17 others on the other side. This feature certainly satisfies pet owners’ demands for removing tangles blended in cat fur before picking fleas out. Normally, when using a flea comb, you need to resort to a grooming one beforehand to prevent damages of tangles and mats possible causing to the former. However, this is not the case with the product by Li’l Pals when both functions are included in just one comb.
It features flexible pins and durable plastic tips that are designed to match the contour of the cat body for perfect grooming.
Additionally, this comb also works well with straightening and smoothing whiskers and hair around the eye, ear and mouth regions of your cat. Regular brushing is proved to boost the generation of natural oil and at the same time distribute it evenly on cat fur for a shiny and healthy finish. Thoroughly understanding this wonderful benefit, a Li'l Pals double side comb is available to keep a fresh and clean appearance of your little furry friend.
7.Sentry Flea Comb for Cats
Sentry flea comb for cats comes as the lightweight and least costly comb to remove fleas and their eggs in this list.
With an ergonomically designed handle, this tool is committed to offering a comfortable grip to users no matter you are a left-handed or right-handed person. Besides, well-spaced teeth enable easy access to fleas and rule out any chances of fleas hiding in between.
One thing special about this comb is its stylish purple coat. Contrary to some products which have a black background against the black color of fleas, this purple color of this comb is really impressive when sliding through cat fur. This is inclined to facilitate the detection of fleas considering the increased visibility of them when getting stuck in the spaces between comb teeth. Concurrently, the purple-colored frame also makes it possible to spot the tool when it is blended with others in a drawer or cabinet, which can save pet owners time and effort.
Like other options above-mentioned, this kind of comb is comparatively easy to use and doesn’t require many attempts in doing the cleaning afterward. Assure that you keep a bucket of warm water within reach in order to soak the comb into after each turn of combing. By this way can caught fleas and eggs be totally killed.
8. Epilady Electric Flea Comb
If you find it annoying to comb your cat hair manually, an Epilady electric flea comb offers an alternative option for your consideration. Among electricity-run devices available on the market, it is judged as the best one in terms of pet-friendliness, easy use and efficiency.
This comb is powered by electricity and then releases a discharge to kill fleas and their eggs without harming your pets. It is powerful enough to eliminate about 3 or 4 fleas in one stroke. Once blocked by dead fleas, it will stop buzzing immediately. In this case, you just need to utilize the flip-flap switch to activate the automatic cleaning of the comb head via the retraction mechanism back into the comb. When all the debris is cleared out, the device starts working again.
With an ergonomic design, it is much easy to keep the comb under great control. Using the electric flea comb is rather simple, merely including holding it at a 45-degree angle while sliding through the pet fur.
Moreover, the teeth is coated with a layer of ceramics intending to prevent tangles and blockages. A cleaning brush is also enclosed in the product package to help you wipe out fleas stuck in between the teeth.
Remember to utilize the device on dry hair only to avoid possible electrocution. For animals with very long thick hair, it is advisable that you should remove knots and tangles by using a grooming comb prior to this flea zapper. Besides, those diagnosed with epilepsy or cardiovascular diseases are warned against handling this device without doctor consultations.
Things to Consider for Buying the Best Flea Combs for Cats
A comb with close teeth together will increase the chances of catching fleas and their eggs.
In terms of material, teeth made of plastic run greater risks of suffering accidents at one point or another. The plastic though lightweight is likely to bend if it isn’t rough and durable enough, causing difficulties in grabbing larvae and eggs from the skin.
Meanwhile, stainless steel teeth exhibit higher resistance to human impacts than plastic-made ones. They can work to your satisfaction upon catching adults and eggs alike when coupled with the perfect closeness and orientation.
Also, keep in mind that double-row combs are more efficient in getting rid of parasites while single-row ones are more favored by long-haired cats.
Combing cats’ fur is not as easy as you might think considering they are not ready to stand still for you until you finish the grooming work. Therefore, a rubber or plastic handle, or in other words non-slip one, is likely to make it much easier to keep the comb under control.
A handle patterned with ridges or soft pins is highly advisable to help maintain your hand’s position during the whole process.
There are several flea combs without handles but having more teeth and longer in length instead. However, you may find it difficult to hold them tightly due to metal materials, so try to refrain from using this kind of comb.
The sizes of cat can vary greatly among different breeds, so it makes much sense to choose a comb suited for the body width and length of your furry friend.
It will clearly take up more time and greater effort to pick up all eggs and fleas from a big cat’s fur with a small comb only.
The price of a comb normally falls into the range from $3 to around $40 based on its manually or automatically operated characteristic.
Tips for Using Flea Combs for Cats
Prepare a bucket of hot and soapy water with a proper depth to prevent the caught fleas from escaping.
Find out a suitable place to do the combing. It is much better to do outdoors for fear of fleas jumping onto furniture. Otherwise, a well-lit indoor space is acceptable as long as there is a vacuum cleaner nearby.
Try to keep your cat sit on a solid surface.
There is one proverb saying that “Prevention is better than cure.” Therefore, it makes the most sense to look after your furry friends with a flea comb before the worst scenario happens.
Out of the list of best flea combs for cats above, we would suggest buying one from the Safari, which is both affordable and effective besides its unfailing effort to satisfy users. Or if you can afford an Epilady Electric Flea Comb, it can help save time spent on the grooming task while showing great effects at the same time.

I don’t want to sound insensitive, because people who have suffered from Writer’s Block find it torturous, but I believe it is self-made. I’m not talking about being blocked in a story because a scene has no conflict, or the character motivation is off, or any other craft reason for a story not progressing. I’m talking about when people claim to not be able to finish their story because they are ‘blocked.’
To me, and you may disagree, Writer’s Block is a manifestation of fear, or resistance. You may not know it but it’s likely you’re scared to finish the story, so subconsciously you’re resisting moving forward for many reasons. One could be fear of ridicule, so you never want to finish it so you don’t have to show people. Writing is personal and it hurts when someone doesn’t love it. Another is your sense of purpose. If I finish this story, what’s next? You don’t believe in your ability to come up with something new.
Writer’s block is something you’ve created to stop yourself telling your story. With stories, the more you write, the more you will come up with, and there will always be someone out there ready to tell you what you’ve done is crap. Don’t let that person be you.

So our little Fritzie is 14 weeks now and she loves to chew on us. In the week we've had her, she's been doing SO much better about mouthing us softly. But, she still does grab a hand unexpectedly and nip. The problem is that I'm nervous to really start socializing her. If people ask to pet her do I say no, or "watch out, she bites"?
Im not so much worried about the nipping because I know she's getting better and it will eventually stop. I just don't know if I should be letting her interact with strangers. Maybe I should limit it to just adults, as they should be able to understand the puppy phase?


According to a new report from Reuters, the next generation Watch, likely to be released sometime in 2016 will have richer health features and additional sensors.
“Two people familiar with Apple’s plans told Reuters the company is planning to unveil richer health features and additional sensors in later versions, the first iteration not hitting the market until early 2015,” the report said.
This new rumor may appear absurd given that the first generation Watch has not been released to public. However, there were high hopes that the Watch will come with groundbreaking sensors and features based on the formidable health and fitness team the company has assembled of the last few years.
Policy experts believe that the omission of some features in this first generation device is related to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Apple may have deliberately avoided mentioning medical use-cases for the watch for now to avoid attracting attention from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In its current form, the watch would not pose a threat to makers of mobile medical devices used by patients with chronic conditions, the report explains.
“Apple probably is very intelligently positioning its products for use to maintain good health generally, which is a perfectly appropriate way to avoid FDA regulation,” Bradley Merill Thompson, a Washington D.C.-based FDA specialist with the law firm Epstein Becker Green told Reuters.

**Draft WIP / Work in progress Part 1 of 3**
I hereby present a writeup series “Self-Meta” ~ a self-research initiative for personal synthesis amidst differing sides, opinions and/or sentiments. The goal here is to demonstrate and share, yet not thoroughly replace any existing rigorous research and literatures. It is not intended to bypass further reading beyond the currently accessible public domain. For those who are new to this initiative, please consider reading the limited-indemnity disclosures and a brief disclaimer below. Live-it-forward, AW
– “Self-Meta” is highly individual, and never suggest anything as concretely “final” of an “opinion” be it however fixated or disclosed by one (N=1) subject, or data.
– Subject to periodical revisions for readability, this is an initiative entirely made from one (1) individual. This is NOT an official “research review”, or peer-reviewed by third party affiliation.
– This is aimed for general but discerning readership only. This disclaimer, in conjunction to the limited indemnity disclosure does not constitute clinical overrides nor intended to replace existing journalism, medical advice or interventions amidst the readers’ current circumstance.
(Self-Meta) Vitamin D ~ the case for and against supplementation ~ Introduction
For many years Vitamin D has been thoroughly praised and is inseparable to human health. However, the many stances between “For” and “Against” ~ specifically on concerns of paradoxical immune and metabolic syndrome response to supplementation (Marshall, T. 2018) ~ remains undiscussed amidst mainstream views.
In response to the above climate, I (This Author / AW / nutritional-humility.me) present balanced findings from both sides. Including concerns of toxicity, and a general, though not mechanistically comprehensive overview of Vitamin D metabolism. This Self-Meta intends to share and discloses, yet never objectively as prescription for all ~ an anecdote course of action.
WIP, or work in progress; subject for amends to maintain readability. I hereby look forward for any correspondence and feedbacks should my endeavours relates to you; amidst my obligations at rebranding, redesigning, and rewriting of my book and manuscript.
References cited within this Self-Meta:
As this Self-Meta is a WIP (work in progress) the following references and citations may yet be amended or added with more overtime.

Cliff notes and highlights thus far (WIP)
- Debates still persist at identifying “what” Vitamin D “is”. It seems to be never as simply concluded as D1 (“seco-steroid” or “Lumi-sterol” form of Vitamin D), plant based (D2, the “ergo”), meat based (D3), inactive, stored or “active” forms (Deering K et al 2021).
- Therapeutic interventions exist from both opposing spectrums. It is interesting to note that both, we shall repeat “BOTH” stances Pro and Against ~ share the same overarching concern at treating Autoimmune Diseases.
- The main argument from those in opposition or “Against” Vitamin D supplementation is :
- that of supplementation’s U-shaped auto-immune severity response. In short term, Vitamin D ingestion appears to suppress the innate immune system (Marshall, T. 2018) (16:00 onwards). However in long term may, counter to predominant belief ~ raise autoimmunity responses to the point of harm (Marshall, T. 2018).
- The allegedly adverse counter-interactions of other mineral absorption; specifically as mentioned in a podcast (Deering K et al 2020) ~ potassium, and copper have been raised. But literatures on these appear to be somewhat scarce. At the very least ~ a review paper countering this view (Schwalfenberg GK & Genuis SJ 2015) maintains current consensus that Vitamin D nonetheless supports Calcium, Magnesium, Copper, Zinc, Iron and Selenium uptake. But on the downside also claimed that Vitamin D raise the uptake of toxic industrial metals ~ notably Lead, Arsenic, Aluminium Cobalt and Strontium.
- Currently, Hypervitaminosis D is clinically defined as the 25-OHD “Calcidiol” (a step before the active version ~ Calcitriol) plasma readings higher than 150 ng/ml (375 nmol/l).
- Trials involving 50,000 to as high as 100,000 IU supplementation ~ Per Day ~ resulted in very few / less than 5% of all subjects reporting clinical calcium toxicity (hypercalcemia) (Holick MF 2015).
- There are few specific genetic or congenital conditions that may warrant individual variance to Vitamin D sensitivities.
- “Williams-Beuren syndrome” ~ rare genetic disorder involving calcium metabolism during infancy. One case study appears to suggest reducing Vitamin D and calcium intake to “bare minimum” (Lameris LLA et al 2014).
- Mutations of the CYPA31 gene ~ affecting Vitamin D’s fate in its metabolism.
- Common signs of Hypervitaminosis D include
- hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, hyperphosphatemia;
- osteoporosis, diarrhea, vomiting, lack of appetite, mental confusion, polydipsia, and/or unexplained weight loss;
- Less commonly reported ~ gastrointestinal bleeding (Holick MF 2015).
- Vitamins A, K2 and particularly a mineral in its close interactivity to Vitamin D ~ Magnesium (Sakaguchi Y et al. 2017) ~ seemingly remain as mediators against the above toxicity symptoms.
<This is still largely WIP or work in progress.>
Course of Action & Contextual background (N=1)
Context and Background of This Author (AW), including prior usage of Vitamin D are disclosed as follows:
- Nutrition ~ 2+ years overall of standard ketogenic diet then transitioned to 5+ years of Cyclical Ketogenic with up to six (6) days of Intermittent Fasting 18 hours minimum.
- Exercise status ~ 2008 onwards ~ personal enthusiast, yet not competitive fitness training background towards endurance based resistance training.
- Vitamin D habitual intake status ~ Vitamin D 2k to 5kIU as maintenance dose circa approximately 2016 onwards. Increase from 5k to as high as 15kiu as sporadic and irregular supplementations 2017 onwards.
- Time of intake. Have been taking the dosages during evenings, as opposed to daytime to coincide with fasting windows throughout the day to prioritise obligated productivity without food intake.
- Have tried both powdered (dry tablet) versions, as well as oil based delivery vehicles. Notably ~ sunflower PUFA oil based, as well as EVOO.
- On oil based vehicles ~ have used both oral method as well topically on skin application.
- On May 2020 ~ higher than average reading as per recently disclosed blood panel (175 NMOL). Calcium adjusted reading however appears just below the reference range (2.27) [ref range = 2.10-2.60 mmol].
- Any attempts to lower Vitamin D intake felt less than “optimal” ~ in terms of overall psychology, physiology surrogate markers of wellbeing.
- The highest frequent dosages are between 10,000 IU to 15K IU sporadically up to four to five days per week throughout winter seasons. But much less so during summers to leverage increased sun exposure.
Vitamin D & Immune Health, Glycation End Products, mineral absorption competitions.
Given our state of the COVID19 pandemic, at least one definitive randomised trial strongly suggests Calcifediol (the main metabolite, not the precursor of Vitamin D) at eliminating all ICU / intensive care hospitalisation (Castillo ME et al. 2020). Other supporting evidences in favour of Vitamin D can be found for further readings at Vitamin D Wiki (vitamindwiki.com/calcidiol).
In addition, Vitamin D’s other supporting roles outside of immunology ~ namely dietary glycation end products protectant (Owusu J et al. 2020), psychology (Gracious BL et al 2012), muscle and bone health (Tanner BS & Harwell SA 2015) ~ all nevertheless suggest pragmatic maintenance dosages. Interestingly, Owusu J et al. 2020 concluded that supplementing 4kIU Daily is less effective at mediating plasma AGEs within first three months of the study, but not until six months of supplementation is reached. Hence this implies there may yet be some sort of acclimatising period and/or dosing consistency required to achieve said protection.
Irrespective, future adjustments are likely necessary due to ageing, alongside other changing confounders. This Author (AW) believes cycling between high and low dosages remains warranted, at least as per seasonal basis and degrees of sun exposure. On summer ~ supplemental is likely reduced. Where as on winters ~ an increase. Maintenance dosages thus far hovers between 5,000 to 10,000 IU per day. This is also taken alongside (proclaimed) supporting mediators against toxicity. Namely ~ Vitamins K2 (Mark(s) 4 and 7s), Magnesium and further co factors ~ Vitamin B6, Vitamin A and manganese.
As far as toxicity management ~ Magnesium appears essential as it appears to help prevent hyperphosphatemia events (a marker of hypercalcemia) in the context of preventing CVD / cardiovascular events (Sakaguchi Y. et al 2017).
It is unknown at this stage, or at least difficult to ascertain if there are mineral-to-fat soluble interactions which may prove detrimental. Of particular mention is that of potassium and copper depletion as briefly speculated in a recent lengthy debate (Deering K et al 2021).
The above concludes the interim Self-Meta of This Author (AW) pragmatic course of action. Despite all convictions, all of this certainly warrants for more re-examining, exploration and adjustments as future confounders unfolds.
<This is a work in progress section. Meanwhile, please proceed to the WIP version of Part Two>

So you want organic wine, hunh? Well, since the federal government definition of organic food still is in flux, the wine business can hardly be blamed for being wobbly on its definition too.
But there are three broad categories to consider in talking about organic wine. First, many vineyards in America and elsewhere are organic; that is to say, no pesticides or herbicides are used in the vineyards. Secondly, there are a few American wineries are organic in that they make “organic” wine. In the U.S. that means they don’t use any sulfur or other preservatives in their production practices.
But in Europe, there is another definition; “organic” identified wines CAN use sulfur. Why? Because you can dig sulfur right out of the ground. It’s not some laboratory chemical, and it’s been in use in wine for two thousand or so years.
Sulfur’s purpose is to bond with the oxygen in a bottle of wine before the oxygen can bond with the wine, and destroy the wine’s fruitiness. Most wines that have no sulfur added are not particularly stable, and they don’t seem to last very well in the cellar.
Of course, American wine buyers are familiar with the warning on the wine back labels, “CONTAINS SULFITES”. That warning got shoved down the wine industry’s collective throats a few decades back, ostensibly to protect severe asthmatics from a reaction to the miniscule amounts of sulfur in the bottle.
In truth, the ideologues who pushed the regulation were uninterested in protecting a tiny percentage of those with severe asthma. If they were concerned about asthmatics’ reactions to sulfur, they would have placed a similar but bigger warning sign over every salad bar in American. Salad bars typically have three to five times the amount of sulfur found in a bottle of wine. Indeed, America’s produce sections have more sulfur than that found in wine.
Those ideologues are just anti-alcohol. They hate it when somebody’s having fun. And they give organic a bad name in wine circles.
Organic wine production (as long as it allows some sulfur, say, 35 parts per million) is a very good thing. Organic grape production is a great thing. As wine buyers and purveyors, Winestores is very focused upon seeking wines from organic vineyards, or vineyards with sustainable practices, or even vineyards that are farmed bio-dynamically.
For those of us who have spent a great deal of our lives in the vineyards, it seems obvious that a living vineyard, devoid of chemicals and rich with natural flora and fauna, is a place that makes better wine, with more character, flavors and aromas.

Dilli Chalo March: Farmers Allowed Entry Into Delhi, Claim Punjab Farm Bodies
A farm body president said home ministry officials had allowed them a place at Burari in Delhi to hold the agitation.
Chandigarh: Punjab farmers’ bodies protesting against the Centre’s farm laws on Friday claimed that the Union government has allowed them entry into Delhi with permission to hold their agitation at the Burari ground.
“We have been allowed safe passage to Delhi,” claimed Krantikari Kisan Union president Darshan Pal.

He said that officials of the Union home ministry had allowed them a place at Burari in Delhi to hold the agitation.
Bharatiya Kisan Union (Rajewal) president Balbir Singh Rajewal said that farmers were headed to the Burari ground.
Earlier, farmers had demanded that they be allowed to hold their protest at the Ramlila ground but the Delhi Police had denied the request.
Despite heavy security deployment, groups of agitating farmers from Punjab and Haryana reached near two Delhi borders on Friday morning after breaking police barricades on the way as part of their protest march against the Centre’s new farm laws.
The Delhi Police has enhanced deployment of security personnel, stationed sand-laden trucks and water cannons and used barbed wire for fencing at the Singhu and Tikri border points (Delhi-Haryana border) to prevent the protesters from entering the city.
Farmers have been protesting against the Centre’s three farm laws and expressed apprehension that they would pave the way for the dismantling of the minimum support price system, leaving them at the “mercy” of big corporates.
They have been demanding that the new laws should be repealed.
The Centre has invited several Punjab farm bodies for talks in Delhi on December 3.

A couple of reviews now for AU.
MERZ – MOI ET MON CAMION
RELEASE: 17 MARCH 2006
Following on from his major label debut in 1999 and 2005’s Coldplay-endorsed and critically acclaimed ‘Loveheart’ comes ‘Moi et Mon Camion’. Merz, aka Conrad Lambert, created 10 “English sounding” folk/pop songs. The title track opens with beautiful finger picking and the sound of a removal van evicting him before the album opens up into the Beatles influenced “Call Me” with fantastic Beach Boy harmonies. Conrad’s ear for a radio-friendly hook separates him from the rest of the folkies. The middle part of the album returns to a less interesting electronic style of his previous record, and that’s a shame, because it was shaping up to be something special. “Lucky Adem” recovers some of the spirit of the opening tracks but overall this is an opportunity missed.
For fans of: The Earlies, Maps, Hot Chip
Downlaod: Call Me, Lucky Adem


Car won't start
My antifreeze was leaking out my 2005
Chrysler pacifica an it was over heating I
added water an the gage went back into the
middle I was driving when it shut off the
check engine light an oil light came on it
wouldn't jump an it won't start it sounds like
it wants to turn over but won't also when the
car shut off all lights an radio still came on
Maybe you fried the engine by overheating it.
How would I know if I did that??
The not starting after overheating is a clue. I would do a compression test and also check the engine oil to see if there is water in it.
Thank you, you've been very helpful

Foxconn is looking to expand its factory in Chennai's Sriperumbudur, sources said.

- Foxconn likely investments in India are expected to add 6,000 more jobs at its Chennai's Sriperumbudur plant where iPhone XR is made, besides other phones.

AVG is known as a free ant-virus, but it does not have many of the features and capabilities which a paid antivirus security software has. Additionally, it doesn’t let you schedule malware scans and has been accused of reselling user details. However , the company has recently changed its privacy regulations and offers a specific opt-out choice. It also is likely to cost more following your first season.
Free antivirus applications are a great approach to budget-conscious people, as they don’t require complicated features, and can safeguard a computer against standard malware. As with any type of free software, be sure to investigate both the features and rewards of each malware solution before deciding upon which one is best for your needs.

Unlike free of charge programs, many paid antivirus security software providers present phone, email, and chat support. Additionally , you can use paid antivirus computer software on your portable device.


Last week, Lush announced it was abandoning its UK-based social media platforms, in favour of greater investment in its website, email and phone line communication methods.
In a series of social media posts across its network, the cosmetics company announced it would be ‘switching up social’, having grown tired of ‘fighting with algorithms’ and paying to appear in users’ news feeds.
A statement read: “Increasingly, social media is making it harder and harder for us to talk to each other directly. We are tired of fighting with algorithms, and we do not want to pay to appear in your news feed. So we’ve decided it’s time to bid farewell to some of our brand social channels – Lush UK, Lush Kitchen, Lush Times, Lush Life, Soapbox and Gorilla across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – and open up the conversation between the Lush Community and us instead.
“Lush has always been made up of many voices, and it’s time for all of them to be heard. We don’t want to limit ourselves to holding conversations in one place, we want social to be placed back in the hands of our communities – from our founders to our friends.
“We believe we can make more noise using all of our voices across the globe, because when we do we drive change, challenge norms and create a cosmetic revolution. We want social to be more about passions and less about likes.
“This is the first, exploratory step in Lush UK cutting out the middleman between ourselves and the Lush Community. However, we understand that this isn’t an action that can be supported just yet in all markets.
“This isn’t the end, it’s just the start of something new.”
The difficulties in engaging large audiences
With 569,000 followers on Instagram, more than 400,000 on Facebook and 200,000+ on Twitter, many have questioned why a brand would throw away a community it’s spent years building.
However, although many marketers still strive to grow their follower count for vanity purposes, it’s becoming increasingly accepted that large follower counts aren’t necessarily indicative of an engaged and loyal community. In fact, research suggests that as your following grows in numbers – even authentically – engagement drops.
On the face of it, Lush’s following may seem engaged, but after sharing its decision to abandon its social media strategy as we know it, some have questioned its ability to make the most of its following.
Mikael Lemberg tweeted: “If you’re struggling with algorithms, it’s because your content is boring and irrelevant.
“13 reactions and 9 comments on a Facebook post to 423,000 followers is just a clear indication of them not being interesting enough to that audience.”
Christian Lowery added: “Or a clear indication that those followers were fake.”
Other posts demonstrated much higher numbers, but in a follow-up post on Monday, the retailer revealed that just 6% of its fans and followers were reached by content in its news feed.
Organic vs paid
Organic reach has been falling for years, with many social platforms restricting the number of feeds that organic brand content is displayed on. As a result, paid social has become a necessary evil for brands wishing to get in front of their audiences. Thankfully, if done right, paid social can lead to a significant return on investment. With the right strategy, you can grow an engaged community, build brand awareness, and drive sales.
How is this likely to play out?
Lush claims to be passionate about building a community through the use of hashtags, but it’s difficult to predict how this will play out when put into practise. It’s true that customers and influencers can shout about the brand on their personal profiles and build their own communities, but it’s unclear how taking away the central ‘hub’ that is Lush UK’s social accounts will help rather than hinder the cause.
Wouldn’t it make sense to invest in community-building while still keeping these platforms? That way, customers will still have a place to go when looking for carefully-curated Lush content. After all, hashtags can be misused by spammers and hi-jacked by those wishing to highlight the brand’s shortfalls.

How milk is helping tackle cancer
You might not expect much of a link between research into milk and milk products, and the fight against cancer, but understanding one may ultimately lead to better ways to tackle the other.
The crucial link is the way mammals produce milk in the first place, and scientists in Australia have now discovered a single protein they think is responsible, in a study published in the journal Nature Cell Biology.
A team at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute made the discovery of the MCL-1 protein, which increases just after giving birth and seems to be essential to mammals' milk production.
"Based on this discovery, it is reasonable to believe that every mammal requires MCL-1 for milk production and, ultimately, the survival of their offspring," said Professor Jane Visvader.
It is also fair to say we owe plenty to this single protein for the availability of all kinds of milk and milk products, too - but its significance could reach even further than that.
Professor Visvader explained that MCL-1 is also linked with the immune system and cells found in cancerous tissue, making it a possible way to track tumour cells when targeting breast cancer with medicines and other treatments.
Ultimately, this means a greater understanding of how it works could lead to new methods of combating breast cancer in all mammals.

|Description:|| The company Tyco delivers all cable assemblies for LOFAR. The slide show shows pictures of the production.|
The following production steps are made
1) The company Draka delivers the coax cable to Tyco (Some cables types already cut in specific lengths).
2) Tyco produces the connectors and delivers these connectors to the assembly plant.
3) The cable is cut on a specified mechanical length.
4) Animal protection is placed on on a part of the cable.
5) On one side of the cable a connector is fitted
6) The cable is measured. Important is the time delay of the signal in the cable. The electrical length is important. The measurement system gives automatically a mechanical length which should removed.
7) The cable is cut back to its right electrical length.
8) The second connector is placed on the other side of the cable.
9) The cable is remeasured to confirm the electrical length and to test the cable with connenctors. All measurement data is stored for each cable.
10) Labels with logistic information and technical information (time delay) are printed and placed on the cables.
11) Cables are packed and send to the warehouse close to the LOFAR core.
The received astronomical radio signals will be received by the antennas and amplified. The amplified signals will be transferred through the cables from the antennas to the analog/digital converters in the LOFAR station cabinet. The time delay requirements for the cable assemblies are very high.

In this modern fairy tale, a girl whose father seems lost at sea takes comfort from his story of a magical goose that shelters his ship during storms, ensuring his safe passage. When a goose turns up on shore, injured and wrapped in netting, it’s an ominous sign, but the girl opts for faith and cares for the bird. Glowing, imaginative touches, like “shoals of silver flakes,” ignite the book’s enchanting illustrations as the cared-for bird leads the grieving girl to peace.

Captain Jim headed out on BC TIKA for a morning tour, excited to see who was in the area for the day. It wasn't long before a pod of Bigg's Orca (mammal eaters) were sighted northeast of Victoria!! They were heading towards us so we knew our second tour would be able to catch up with them as well. In the afternoon our guests got treated to a multiple whale species tour, and saw a feeding Humpback on their way back to the harbor!!

Teacher tenure comes under fire
by Daniel Denvir
A growing number of critics are zeroing in on tenure, a due process protection for teachers, as a central obstacle to improving public schools – some describing it as a protection racket to keep ineffective educators from being fired.
In Pennsylvania, teachers are granted tenure after three years on the job if they are found to be satisfactory. An overwhelming number of them are, and very few are ever fired because they are not good at what they do.
In the 2007-08 school year, just 16 of 11,000 Philadelphia teachers were rated unsatisfactory, and only six were dismissed for poor classroom performance. The School District did not provide more recent data.
"States do virtually nothing to establish a teacher's effectiveness in the classroom before awarding them permanent employment status," said a 2008 report from the National Council on Teacher Quality, which gave Pennsylvania a "D" grade for identifying ineffective teachers. "The state lacks any meaningful process to evaluate cumulative effectiveness in the classroom before teachers are awarded tenure."
Legislation to weaken or abolish tenure, or to tie it to student achievement on standardized tests, has been introduced in statehouses nationwide. While no major legislation has been proposed in Pennsylvania, Republican Governor-elect Tom Corbett has called for taking student achievement data into account when granting tenure or dismissing teachers and for making it easier to fire ineffective teachers.
The film "Waiting for 'Superman'" takes issue with the concept of teacher tenure and touts the idea that the country should rid itself of the least effective 10 percent of teachers.
Yet many researchers and advocates – and, of course, teachers unions – say the focus on tenure and calls for mass firings are a distraction from the lack of meaningful evaluations or professional support for educators.
And teachers say they need the protections that tenure affords. Tenure was a primary demand of the early 20th century teacher's union movement, and teachers still say they fear being fired for illegitimate reasons: to get rid of a veteran and thus more expensive teacher; to give the job to someone politically connected; to punish them for speaking out or teaching a controversial topic. Or, maybe, just because of a bad principal's whim.
"If someone's incompetent, they shouldn't be in the classroom," said Ted Kirsch, president of the Pennsylvania chapter of the American Federation of Teachers and past president of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers. Kirsch defended the protection offered by tenure while acknowledging that the evaluation process could be improved. "If people commit certain indiscretions dealing with kids, they shouldn't be there. All we are saying is they should have their day in court."
Critics of current practice say the bar for tenure should be set much higher than mere competence, citing a broad consensus that educator quality has the greatest impact on student learning of anything that takes place inside a school. In particular, the Obama administration and others are advancing the view that test scores need to be part of the evaluation process.
But administrators, not teachers, are ultimately responsible for an undeserving teacher being granted tenure. And clearly they have some latitude in making those decisions.
Linda Katz, president of the Children's Literacy Initiative, argued that there is no shortage of opportunities "to screen out the people who aren't qualified" before they ever take over a classroom: when teachers apply to major in education; during student teaching; when they apply for state certification; and in the hiring process.
"I think tenure should be very hard to get," said Katz. "Right now, it's automatic. It's ridiculous."
In Philadelphia, administrators observe tenured teachers once a year and non-tenured teachers twice. Tenured teachers who receive an unsatisfactory rating must receive semiannual evaluations for three years.
According to Katz, teachers need regular and intensive evaluations, by multiple evaluators taking multiple measures into account, to become better educators. And assessments should not be primarily punitive in nature.
Beginning in the 2009-10 school year, Philadelphia implemented a new system, evaluating 25 instructional practice standards. The post-observation meeting is supposed to be geared toward professional development.
In Pennsylvania, the federal Race to the Top competition has spurred efforts to overhaul teacher evaluations. While the state did not win a grant, the Gates Foundation is funding a $769,000 project to research and develop a new evaluation system for teachers and principals. The project could change in tone or direction under the incoming governor.
"The notion that teachers would have to reach a certain level of accomplishment before they are granted tenure is a more viable approach than just, when the clock strikes three years, you get tenure," said state Acting Secretary of Education Thomas Gluck.
He said that student achievement as measured by standardized tests should play a role in tenure decisions and perhaps in teacher compensation. But he is not sure how big that role should be, especially since many subjects and grade levels are not covered by such tests.

Building upon more than a century of history and expertise, Piera Martellozzo is the name and soul behind Piera 1899, a project of passion and craftsmanship making some of the most expressive wines and iconic labels in Friuli. Her adventure, at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, harnesses the knowledge of three generations but also a new interpretation of modernity which, with a jeweller-like approach, captures the essence of place and time. Each wine is a finely carved piece that has the best grapes and vineyards as its rough diamond.
Piera’s work is one of relentless commitment to the sophisticated expression of the landscape where her family has been nurturing vines for more than one hundred years. Having taken over the small family estate in 1992, over the past 20 years she has worked to consolidate the company, map the best terroirs and refine a wine collection that is now a benchmark for the best Friuli Venezia Giulia can produce.
A deep understanding of the land and its cycles, but also of the region’s unique geological and historical heritage, are the core inspirations for the different Piera 1899 creations. Each range embodies a particular, complementary aspect of the company’s philosophy and tells the story of its terroir and vintage, making the most of the local climate, which through wide diurnal temperature ranges allows the grapes to develop complexity of flavour while retaining acidity and freshness.
Piera 1899 wines at a glance:
- Terre Magre – a collection that speaks of Friuli’s terroir and of the sophisticated potential of its local grapes. The fruit grows on the well drained alluvial Magredi plains, harnessing incredible concentration and expressiveness.
- Selezione di Piera – premium reinterpretations of tradition through evocative, characterful wines that show how even the most noble international grapes find a special character in Friuli.
- 075 Carati – an elegant and innovative collection of sparkling wines to make each and every moment special in its own right.
- Pura Terra – 20 years of research on sustainability have culminated in the creation of this organic range, with minimum addition of sulphites.
- Composizione di Rosso – a limited edition blend of dried Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and of the local Pignolo. A unique crossover of tradition and innovation.
- Clâr de Lune – the most recent addition to the Piera 1899 family, this is a range of sparkling and still rosés inspired by French styles and by the copper hued glow of a full moon.
Piera 1899’s wines have a strong regional identity but also a clear international outlook, with the awareness that only relentless commitment to quality and creativity can make justice to the local traditions by allowing the wines to shine on the international stage.
At Piera 1899 experimentation and sustainability go hand in hand, with a holistic approach aimed at minimising the environmental impact of the company’s activities from root to glass, while also paying careful attention to social aspects and to the value of the contribution of all those whose work goes into each bottle.
Three wines to discover the universe of Piera 1899:
Terre Magre Ribolla Gialla Friuli Colli Orientali DOC
An authentic expression of the native variety Ribolla Gialla, planted on gravelly mineral-rich soils at 150 m altitude. The grapes are handpicked, gently pressed and fermented spontaneously at controlled temperature, thus retaining incredible purity and complexity of aromas. The nose is an elegant combination of floral and fresh citrus notes, followed on the palate by juicy orchard fruit. Fresh, clean and driven by precise minerality, the wine has a long finish with a delicious herbal lift. A wine that highlights the identity of the region and its native grape.
Clâr de Lune Prosecco DOC Rosé Brut Nature
Unusual and sophisticated, this bone-dry Prosecco merges the juicy fruitiness of the Glera grape with Pinot Noir’s crunchy red berries and the soil’s fresh minerality. An enveloping, seductive rosé sparkling that evokes the elegant hues of a moonlit evening.
Clâr de Lune Rosato Friuli Grave DOC
French-inspired but deeply rooted in Grave, this is a rosé to enjoy with food; rich fruit and mineral elegance will make it the perfect pairing companion to seafood, cold cuts or fresh cheeses.

Works from the TMAG Collection
Opens 26-11-2021, closes 20-02-2022
Argyle Galleries 1-3
This summer, TMAG is pleased to present photography and video works from its collection across its temporary exhibition galleries, highlighting three artists: Ricky Maynard, Anne Ferran and Joan Ross.
In Argyle Gallery 1, visitors will be able to see Ricky Maynard’s photography series Moonbird People (1985-88), and Portrait of a Distant Land (2005-07), which are a poignant record of his life, and that of his community, on the Bass Strait islands.
Maynard (born 1953) is from the Cape Portland / Ben Lomond people in lutruwita / Tasmania, and since the 1980s, his photographs have cut to the quick of the lives, histories and resilience of Australia’s First Peoples.
In Argyle Gallery 2 visitors can see Joan Ross’s video work I give you a mountain (2018), which touches on both the magnificence and tragedy of museums and is a reinvention of Sir Ashton Lever’s London museum, which opened in 1775.
For more than two decades, Ross (born 1961) has interrogated colonisation through the deceptively playful union of appropriation and animation, with I give you a mountain encapsulating this approach.
Finally, in Argyle Gallery 3, TMAG presents Anne Ferran’s photography series Lost to worlds (2008), which features images taken where the prison for women convicts once stood in Ross, Tasmania.
Ferran (born 1949) has spent decades photographing and representing the histories of convict women and children, exposing poignant tales of Australia's colonial past with poetic instinct, using fragmentary information from archives, museums and historic sites.
Anne Ferran (born 1949), Lost to worlds, 2008, 30 digital prints on aluminium. Donated through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program by Anne Ferran, 2009.

A man shot in broad daylight at a
Koonawarra home last month was a known bikie who had recently
patched over from the Rebels to the Finks, a court has heard.
Domenico Nardi, 25, was hit in the
forearm by one of two bullets fired into the front yard of a Galong
Crescent home by an unknown assailant in a blue car just after
9.30am on January 15.
He was treated at the scene by
paramedics before being taken to Wollongong Hospital. He was later
transferred to a hospital in Sydney for surgery.
The Mercury can reveal Nardi, a
convicted criminal, was once a member of the Rebels outlaw
motorcycle gang, however has told police he “patched over” to join
rival club the Finks during his last stint behind bars.
While Nardi has refused to provide
officers investigating his shooting with a statement on what
occurred or divulge who may have been behind it, police believe it
was a targeted attack carried out in retaliation for his defection.
The Mercury can also reveal the house
at which the shooting took place belongs to Troy Fornaciari, a known
member of the Finks’ Lake Illawarra chapter, and that Nardi’s
presence at the home that day was in direct violation of bail
conditions banning Nardi from associating with members of a criminal
organisation due to his involvement in an upcoming NSW District
Court documents said Nardi spoke
briefly with police from his hospital bed, telling detectives he had
gone to Fornaciari’s house that day to pick up his car, which had
been left there by his brother.
But when pressed for details, he said
he’d been there to give Fornaciari’s girlfriend money to fix her
He denied going to the house to see Fornaciari,
however police rearrested him for breaching his bail.
He fronted Wollongong District Court
on Wednesday wearing prison greens and sporting a stiff support
bandage around his wounded arm. His lawyer asked for bail to be
reinstated so Nardi could continue rehabilitation treatment on his
The court heard Nardi had regular
sessions with a nerve specialist at a hospital in Sydney and, if
remanded in custody and unable to access that treatment, risked
permanent damage to his hand.
Judge Andrew Haesler agreed to
release Nardi, conceding his chances of getting such rehabilitation
therapy from Corrective Services was “about zero”.
As part of his release, Nardi’s
curfew has been increased by three hours to between 6pm and 6am.
He has also been further banned from
attending any premises that could be associated with criminal
organisations including motorcycle shops, tattoo parlours and
Nardi’s court cases have been listed

CT scans overuse linked to cancer
Sydney, Mar 15 (ANI): Health experts have warned that unjustified use of CT scans is increasingly becoming a reason behind cancers.
A latest medical research has claimed that more than 400 new cases of cancer a year in Australia occur due to diagnostic radiology.
However, it has not reduced the number of computerised tomography scans growing about 12 per cent a year.
Now, Director of the Professional Services Review, Tony Webber, has published a recommendation for doctors to stop using CTs as a first-choice diagnostic tool for problems such as lower-back pain.
"I have been alarmed at the number of these scans ordered without clinical justification," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Webber as saying in his The Report to the Professions.
Professor Mendelson, who heads radiology at Royal Perth Hospital, also warns against unjustified use of radiological procedures.
He said: "Although the risk of a CT scan is relatively small, a CT of the abdomen and pelvis may expose the patient to a dose of up to about 20 millisieverts and thus an increased risk of inducing a fatal cancer of one in 1000."
The Report on Professions was initiated after a study noted that 50 per cent of senior medical students in Perth underestimated radiation doses from commonly used radiological procedures.
A director of research in diagnostic imaging at Melbourne's Southern Health Service, Stacy Goergen, emphasized improved education of medical students about radiology is "absolutely essential".
Medical radiation has apparently increased more than six times in 30 years.
Also research has shown up to 40 per cent of CT scans could be avoided without compromising patient care. (ANI)

It’s common for people to inherit flat feet or develop them over time. If you’re one of them, you may be surprised to hear that flat feet are treatable and you’re not just stuck with everyday pain and discomfort. At Mountain View Foot & Ankle Care in El Monte, California, experienced podiatrist Ebram Abdelmalak, DPM, offers both nonsurgical and surgical treatment to help you manage the effects of flat feet. To learn more, schedule an appointment online or over the phone.
Your feet have tendons—bands of tissue that are supposed to form an upward curve in the middle of your foot called an arch. If you have flat feet, you’re missing a normal foot arch and either has none at all or a very low arch. That means your entire foot makes contact with the ground when you stand.
The condition usually affects both feet, but it’s possible to have only one flat foot. It’s also possible for your arches to never develop during your childhood as they’re supposed to. You may also develop normal arches, which then collapse when you’re an adult, known as “fallen arches.”
Flat feet can be either rigid or flexible. If they’re rigid, your arches are never visible. If they’re flexible, you can see an arch when there’s no pressure on your feet, but not when you’re standing.
You only need to seek treatment for flat feet if the condition is causing you pain or discomfort. It’s possible to have flat feet and experience no problems.
It’s fairly common for people with flat feet to experience foot pain, or for their feet to tire easily. That’s because when you have flat feet, your body distributes your weight unevenly, placing additional pressure on your feet. Your feet may also be swollen, and you may have trouble moving them.
Flat feet can increase your risk of other foot complications, like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and neuromas. Be sure to schedule an appointment with Dr. Abdelmalak if you have any concerning symptoms or notice any changes in your feet.
If you noticed that your feet have become flatter recently, it’s a good idea to seek treatment. This could be a sign of an underlying condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis or tendon damage.
There’s no cure for flat feet, but pain and other symptoms usually improve with conservative treatment. To relieve the pressure on your feet, Dr. Abdelmalak may recommend wearing shoes with custom-made orthotics that support your arches and cushion and stabilize your feet.
In addition to proper footwear, Dr. Abdelmalak may recommend performing stretches to improve the strength and flexibility of your feet and taking anti-inflammatory medication as needed.
In some cases, flat feet cause severe pain that doesn’t improve with conservative treatment. The next step may be surgery. This usually involves repairing damaged tendons but can also involve joint fusion or reshaping the bone to improve the alignment in your foot.
To schedule an appointment at Mountain View Foot & Ankle Care, call or use the online booking tool.
