veterinary medicine
Apparently, Hahnemann gave a lecture on the subject of veterinary homeopathy in the mid-1810s. Ever since, homeopathy has been used for treating animals. Von Boennighausen was one of the first influential proponents of veterinary homeopathy. However, veterinary medical schools tended to reject homoeopathy, and the number of veterinary homeopaths remained small. In the 1920ies, veterinary homoeopathy was revived in Germany. Members of the "Studiengemeinschaft für tierärztliche Homöopathie" (Study Group for Veterinary Homoeopathy) which was founded in 1936 started to investigate this approach systematically.
Today, veterinary homeopathy is still popular in some countries. Prince Charles has become a prominent advocate who claims to treat his own life stock with homeopathy. In many countries, veterinary homeopaths have their own professional organisations. Elsewhere, however, veterinarians are banned from practicing homeopathy. In the UK, only veterinarians are allowed to use homeopathy on animals (but anyone regardless of background can use it on human patients) and there is a British Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy. In the US, homeopathic vets are organised in the Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy.
If this sounds promising, we should not forget that, as discussed so often on this blog, homeopathy lacks plausibility the evidence for veterinary homeopathy fails to be positive (see for instance here). But, hold on, there is a new study, perhaps it will change everything?
This 'study' was aimed at providing an initial insight into the existing prerequisites on dairy farms for the use of homeopathy (i.e. the consideration of homeopathic principles) and on homeopathic treatment procedures (including anamnesis, clinical examination, diagnosis, selection of a remedy, follow-up checks, and documentation) on 64 dairy farms in France, Germany and Spain.
The use of homeopathy was assessed via a standardised questionnaire during face-to-face interviews. The results revealed that homeopathic treatment procedures were applied very heterogeneously and differed considerably between farms and countries. Farmers also use human products without veterinary prescription as well as other prohibited substances.
The authors of this 'study' concluded that the subjective treatment approach using the farmers' own criteria, together with their neglecting to check the outcome of the treatment and the lack of appropriate documentation is presumed to substantially reduce the potential for a successful recovery of the animals from diseases. There is, thus, a need to verify the effectiveness of homeopathic treatments in farm practices based on a lege artis treatment procedure and homeopathic principles which can be achieved by the regular monitoring of treatment outcomes and the prevailing rate of the disease at herd level. Furthermore, there is a potential risk to food safety due to the use of non-veterinary drugs without veterinary prescription and the use of other prohibited substances.
So did this 'study' change the evidence on veterinary homeopathy?
Sadly not!
This 'study' is hardly worth the paper it is printed on.
Who conceives such nonsense?
And who finances such an investigation?
The answer to the latter question is one of the few provided by the authors: This project has received funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under Grant Agreement No 311824 (IMPRO).
Time for a constructive suggestion! Could the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme with their next research project in veterinary homeopathy please evaluate the question why farmers in the EU are allowed to use disproven therapies on defenceless animals?
So-called alternative medicine (SCAM) for animals is popular. A recent survey suggested that 76% of US dog and cat owners use some form of SCAM. Another survey showed that about one quarter of all US veterinary medical schools run educational programs in SCAM. Amazon currently offers more that 4000 books on the subject.
The range of SCAMs advocated for use in animals is huge and similar to that promoted for use in humans; the most commonly employed practices seem to include acupuncture, chiropractic, energy healing, homeopathy (as discussed in the previous post) and dietary supplements. In this article, I will briefly discuss the remaining 4 categories.
Acupuncture is the insertion of needles at acupuncture points on the skin for therapeutic purposes. Many acupuncturists claim that, because it is over 2 000 years old, acupuncture has 'stood the test of time' and its long history proves acupuncture's efficacy and safety. However, a long history of usage proves very little and might even just demonstrate that acupuncture is based on the pre-scientific myths that dominated our ancient past.
There are many different forms of acupuncture. Acupuncture points can allegedly be stimulated not just by inserting needles (the most common way) but also with heat, electrical currents, ultrasound, pressure, bee-stings, injections, light, colour, etc. Then there is body acupuncture, ear acupuncture and even tongue acupuncture. Traditional Chinese acupuncture is based on the Taoist philosophy of the balance between two life-forces, 'yin and yang'. In contrast, medical acupuncturists tend to cite neurophysiological theories as to how acupuncture might work; even though some of these may appear plausible, they nevertheless are mere theories and constitute no proof for acupuncture's validity.
The therapeutic claims made for acupuncture are legion. According to the traditional view, acupuncture is useful for virtually every condition. According to 'Western' acupuncturists, acupuncture is effective mostly for chronic pain. Acupuncture has, for instance, been used to improve mobility in dogs with musculoskeletal pain, to relieve pain associated with cervical neurological disease in dogs, for respiratory resuscitation of new-born kittens, and for treatment of certain immune-mediated disorders in small animals.
While the use of acupuncture seems to gain popularity, the evidence fails to support this. Our systematic review of acupuncture (to the best of my knowledge the only one on the subject) in animals included 14 randomized controlled trials and 17 non-randomized controlled studies. The methodologic quality of these trials was variable but, on average, it was low. For cutaneous pain and diarrhoea, encouraging evidence emerged that might warrant further investigation. Single studies reported some positive inter-group differences for spinal cord injury, Cushing's syndrome, lung function, hepatitis, and rumen acidosis. However, these trials require independent replication. We concluded that, overall, there is no compelling evidence to recommend or reject acupuncture for any condition in domestic animals. Some encouraging data do exist that warrant further investigation in independent rigorous trials.
Serious complications of acupuncture are on record and have repeatedly been discussed on this blog: acupuncture needles can, for instance, injure vital organs like the lungs or the heart, and they can introduce infections into the body, e. g. hepatitis. About 100 human fatalities after acupuncture have been reported in the medical literature – a figure which, due to lack of a monitoring system, may disclose just the tip of an iceberg. Information on adverse effects of acupuncture in animals is currently not available.
Given that there is no good evidence that acupuncture works in animals, the risk/benefit balance of acupuncture cannot be positive.
Chiropractic was created by D D Palmer (1845-1913), an American magnetic healer who, in 1895, manipulated the neck of a deaf janitor, allegedly curing his deafness. Chiropractic was initially promoted as a cure-all by Palmer who claimed that 95% of diseases were due to subluxations of spinal joints. Subluxations became the cornerstone of chiropractic 'philosophy', and chiropractors who adhere to Palmer's gospel diagnose subluxation in nearly 100% of the population – even in individuals who are completely disease and symptom-free. Yet subluxations, as understood by chiropractors, do not exist.
There is no good evidence that chiropractic spinal manipulation might be effective for animals. A review of the evidence for different forms of manual therapies for managing acute or chronic pain syndromes in horses concluded that further research is needed to assess the efficacy of specific manual therapy techniques and their contribution to multimodal protocols for managing specific somatic pain conditions in horses. For other animal species or other health conditions, the evidence is even less convincing.
In humans, spinal manipulation is associated with serious complications (regularly discussed in previous posts), usually caused by neck manipulation damaging the vertebral artery resulting in a stroke and even death. Several hundred such cases have been documented in the medical literature – but, as there is no system in place to monitor such events, the true figure is almost certainly much larger. To the best of my knowledge, similar events have not been reported in animals.
Since there is no good evidence that chiropractic spinal manipulations work in animals, the risk/benefit balance of chiropractic fails to be positive.
Energy healing is an umbrella term for a range of paranormal healing practices, e. g. Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Johrei healing, faith healing. Their common denominator is the belief in an 'energy' that can be used for therapeutic purposes. Forms of energy healing have existed in many ancient cultures. The 'New Age' movement has brought about a revival of these ideas, and today 'energy' healing systems are amongst the most popular alternative therapies in many countries.
Energy healing relies on the esoteric belief in some form of 'energy' which refers to some life force such as chi in Traditional Chinese Medicine, or prana in Ayurvedic medicine. Some proponents employ terminology from quantum physics and other 'cutting-edge' science to give their treatments a scientific flair which, upon closer scrutiny, turns out to be little more than a veneer of pseudo-science.
Considering its implausibility, energy healing has attracted a surprisingly high level of research activity in the form of clinical trials on human patients. Generally speaking, the methodologically best trials of energy healing fail to demonstrate that it generates effects beyond placebo. There are few studies of energy healing in animals, and those that are available are frequently less than rigorous (see for instance here and here). Overall, there is no good evidence to suggest that 'energy' healing is effective in animals.
Even though energy healing is per se harmless, it can do untold damage, not least because it can lead to neglect of effective treatments and it undermines rationality in our societies. Its risk/benefit balance therefore fails to be positive.
Dietary supplements for veterinary use form a category of remedies that, in most countries, is a regulatory grey area. Supplements can contain all sorts of ingredients, from minerals and vitamins to plants and synthetic substances. Therefore, generalisations across all types of supplements are impossible. The therapeutic claims that are being made for supplements are numerous and often unsubstantiated. Although they are usually promoted as natural and safe, dietary supplements do not have necessarily either of these qualities. For example, in the following situations, supplements can be harmful:
- Combining one supplement with another supplement or with prescribed medicines
- Substituting supplements for prescription medicines
- Overdosing some supplements, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, or iron
Examples of currently most popular supplements for use in animals include chondroitin, glucosamine, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, lutein, L-carnitine, taurine, amino acids, enzymes, St John's wort, evening primrose oil, garlic and many other herbal remedies. For many supplements taken orally, the bioavailability might be low. There is a paucity of studies testing the efficacy of dietary supplements in animals. Three recent exceptions (all of which require independent replication) are:
- A trial showing that the dietary supplementation with Maca increased sperm production in stallions.
- A study demonstrating that curcumin supplementation appeared to reduce arthritis pain in dogs.
- An investigation suggesting that royal jelly supplementation can improve the egg quality of hens.
Dietary supplements are promoted as being free of direct risks. On closer inspection, this notion turns out to be little more than an advertising slogan. As discussed repeatedly on this blog, some supplements contain toxic materials, contaminants or adulterants and thus have the potential to do harm. A report rightly concluded that many challenges stand in the way of determining whether or not animal dietary supplements are safe and at what dosage. Supplements considered safe in humans and other cross-species are not always safe in horses, dogs, and cats. An adverse event reporting system is badly needed. And finally, regulations dealing with animal dietary supplements are in disarray. Clear and precise regulations are needed to allow only safe dietary supplements on the market.
It is impossible to generalise about the risk/benefit balance of dietary supplements; however, caution is advisable.
SCAM for animals is an important subject, not least because of the current popularity of many treatments that fall under this umbrella. For most therapies, the evidence is woefully incomplete. This means that most SCAMs are unproven. Arguably, it is unethical to use unproven medicines in routine veterinary care.
I was invited several months ago to write this article for VETERINARY RECORD. It was submitted to peer review and subsequently I withdrew my submission. The above post is a slightly revised version of the original (in which I used the term 'alternative medicine' rather than 'SCAM') which also included a section on homeopathy (see my previous post). The reason for the decision to withdraw this article was the following comment by the managing editor of VETERINARY RECORD: A good number of vets use these therapies and a more balanced view that still sets out their efficacy (or otherwise) would be more useful for the readership.
Ever since Samuel Hahnemann, the German physician who invented homeopathy, gave a lecture on the subject in the mid-1810s, homeopathy has been used for treating animals. Initially, veterinary medical schools tended to reject homoeopathy as implausible, and the number of veterinary homeopaths remained small. In the 1920ies, however, veterinary homoeopathy was revived in Germany, and in 1936, members of the "Studiengemeinschaft für tierärztliche Homöopathie" (Study Group for Veterinary Homoeopathy) started to investigate homeopathy systematically.
Today, veterinary homeopathy is popular not least because of the general boom in so-called alternative medicine (SCAM). Prince Charles is just one of many prominent advocates who claims to treat animals with homeopathy. In many countries, veterinary homeopaths have their own professional organisations, while elsewhere veterinarians are banned from practicing homeopathy. In the UK, only veterinarians are currently allowed to use homeopathy on animals (but ironically, anyone regardless of background can use it on human patients).
Considering the implausibility of its assumptions, it seems unlikely that homeopathic remedies can be anything other than placebos. Yet homeopaths and their followers regularly produce clinical trials that seem to suggest efficacy. Today, there are about 500 controlled clinical trials of homeopathy (mostly on humans), and it is no surprise that, purely by chance, some of them show positive results. To avoid being misled by random findings, cherry-picking, or flawed science, we ought to critically evaluate the totality of the available evidence. In other words, we should rely not on single studies but on systematic reviews of all reliable trials.
A 2015 systematic review by ardent homeopaths tested the hypothesis that the outcome of veterinary homeopathic treatments is distinguishable from placebos. A total of 15 trials could be included, but only two comprised reliable evidence without overt vested interest. The authors concluded that there is "very limited evidence that clinical intervention in animals using homeopathic medicines is distinguishable from corresponding intervention using placebos."
A more recent systematic review compared the efficacy of homeopathy to that of antibiotics in cattle, pigs and poultry. A total number of 52 trials were included of which 28 were in favour of homeopathy and 22 showed no effect. No study had been independently replicated. The authors concluded that "the use of homeopathy cannot claim to have sufficient prognostic validity where efficacy is concerned."
Discussing this somewhat unclear and contradictory findings of trials of homeopathy for animals, Lee et al concluded that "…it is overwhelmingly likely that small effects observed in the RCTs and systematic reviews are the result of residual bias in the trials." To this, I might add that 'publication bias', i. e. the phenomenon that negative trials often remain unpublished, might be the reason why systematic reviews of homeopathy are never entirely negative.
In recent years, several scientific bodies have assessed the evidence on homeopathy and published statements about it. Here are the key passages from some of these 'official verdicts':
"The principles of homeopathy contradict known chemical, physical and biological laws and persuasive scientific trials proving its effectiveness are not available"
Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia
"Homeopathy should not be used to treat health conditions that are chronic, serious, or could become serious. People who choose homeopathy may put their health at risk if they reject or delay treatments for which there is good evidence for safety and effectiveness."
National Health and Medical Research Council, Australia
"These products are not supported by scientific evidence."
Health Canada, Canada
"Homeopathic remedies don't meet the criteria of evidence-based medicine."
Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary
"The incorporation of anthroposophical and homeopathic products in the Swedish directive on medicinal products would run counter to several of the fundamental principles regarding medicinal products and evidence-based medicine."
Swedish Academy of Sciences, Sweden
"There is little evidence to support homeopathy as an effective treatment for any specific condition"
National Centre for Complementary and Integrative Health, USA
"There is no good-quality evidence that homeopathy is effective as a treatment for any health condition"
"Homeopathic remedies perform no better than placebos, and the principles on which homeopathy is based are "scientifically implausible""
House of Commons Science and Technology Committee, UK
"Homeopathy has not definitively proven its efficacy in any specific indication or clinical situation."
Ministry of Health, Spain
"… homeopathy should be treated as one of the unscientific methods of the so called 'alternative medicine', which proposes worthless products without scientifically proven efficacy."
National Medical Council, Poland
"… there is no valid empirical proof of the efficacy of homeopathy beyond the placebo effect."
Federaal Kenniscentrum voor de Gezondheidszorg, Belgium
As they are usually far too dilute to contain anything, homeopathic remedies are generally harmless, provided they are produced according to good manufacturing practice (which is not always the case). Unfortunately, however, this harmlessness does not necessarily apply to homeopathy in general. When employed to replace an effective therapy, even the most innocent but ineffective treatment can become life-threatening. Since homeopaths recommend their remedies for even the most serious conditions, this is by no means a theoretical consideration. I have therefore often stated that HOMEOPATHICS MIGHT BE HARMLESS, BUT HOMEOPATHS CERTAINLY ARE NOT.
It follows that an independent risk/benefit analysis of homeopathy fails to arrive at a positive conclusion. In other words, homeopathy has not been shown to generate more good than harm. In turn, this means that homeopathy has no place in veterinary (or human) evidence-based medicine.

During his lengthy Congressional career, first in the U.S. House of Representatives and later in the U.S. Senate, Hugh Scott served as Senate Republican leader and exhibited skills as a legislative tactician, often rising above partisan concerns for the national interest.
This portrait depicts Senator Scott comfortably seated and surrounded by objects that represent his varied interests and achievements. An ardent pipe smoker, he holds one of the 500 pipes he collected. The book resting on the senator's knee likely alludes to the many publications he authored, including "The Golden Age of Chinese Art." A sculpture of a Chinese Tang dynasty horse in the portrait's background refers to Scott's lifelong interests in Chinese art and culture, which proved useful when the U.S. reestablished relations with China in 1972. Scott was part of the first official Senate delegation to the People's Republic of China in 1972.
Following Senator Scott's retirement in 1977 with 34 years of service in Congress, the Senate designated room S-120 in the U.S. Capitol as the Hugh Scott Room. The portrait of Scott by artist Chris Owen was completed shortly before the room's dedication on September 15, 1981.
Chstine "Chris" L. Owen earned a bachelor's degree in Fine Art from the University of Kansas in the early 1940s and taught painting in Florida. She accepted commissions to paint portraits of university trustees and presidents, as well as figures in business and government. She executed the official portrait of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron White, now in the collection of the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. Owen later completed a second portrait of Hugh Scott which resides at the senator's alma mater, Randolph Macon College in Virginia.
On September 24, 1969, in a closed-door caucus, Senate Republicans narrowly elected Senator Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania over Senator Howard Baker, Jr., of Tennessee to be the new Republican minority leader. Scott had served as the Republican whip for less than a year when the death of Illinois senator Everett Dirksen left the party's leadership position vacant. Elected to the Senate in 1958, Scott served three terms before retiring in 1977. He served as Republican leader for eight years. According to William F. Hildenbrand, Scott's long-time assistant in the Senate, the senator "was a consummate politician." In 1981 a room in the Capitol was designated as the "Hugh Scott Room," and in 1989, when Senate leaders were establishing a special 15-member Study Group on the Commemoration of the Senate Bicentenary, Scott was selected to chair this panel.


text: By Jennifer Elliott on June 7, 2016 • ( Leave a comment ) PICTURE POST: RUN NOW WHINE LATERHave I ever mentioned that my dad is pretty awesome? My dad is seriously awesome and amazing. About a week ago, he completed his first-ever marathon at the Med City Marathon in Rochester, Minn. My sisters and I (who all ran cross country in high school) and the grandchildren were on hand to cheer and run with him. PICTURED HERE: Dad approaches the first exchange zone (where team relays switch out members) around the 6-mile marker. PICTURED HERE: The grandkids happily run with him toward the second exchange around the 13-mile marker. With a little more notice this year, my sisters and I designed a T-shirt showing support. RUN NOW KEN WHINE LATER. Clever, huh? However, I favored the first design draft — RUN NOW WINE LATER — and created two T-shirts for me and Charlie (who also preferred the first draft). PICTURED HERE: Dad's support crew surrounds him at the second exchange zone, making sure he's feeling OK and offering cups of Gatorade and water. The red T-shirts definitely came in handy whenever the support crew separated and needed to find each other. The kids were great and became super excited whenever they saw Dad running and joined him for a block or two. PICTURED HERE: Dad still has a smile at the third exchange zone (near the 20-mile marker)! The night before the big race, Krissy and Becky studied the course information and marked the exchange zones and other areas to support him. Thanks to the miracle of technology, my sisters and I — and a few other people — kept track of Dad and everyone else with a ton of text messages and occasional phone calls. PICTURED HERE: Tate and Cole cheer on Papa during the home stretch! I could not be more proud of my Dad for running in and completing his first ever marathon! I actually admire all the runners and had no problem cheering on complete strangers during wait times. Surprisingly, the majority of runners smiled and said "thanks." And a ton of people complimented me on my rogue shirt: RUN NOW WINE LATER. PICTURED HERE: Members of the RUN NOW KEN WHINE LATER (and two members of the RUN NOW WINE LATER) support crew at the finish line. Dad needed about a week to fully recover from the marathon, with the first couple of days probably being the hardest for him. As for another marathon, he says no — one marathon is enough.

Entrepreneurs looking to potentially own a Subway franchise: proceed with caution. The globally recognized sandwich franchise has been under fire recently after The New York Times published an exposé about claims of mistreatment of franchisees by Subway. The franchisees featured in the story accused the development agents of allegedly taking away their stores. Now, the franchisees affected by this misconduct are fighting back against the franchise. In this article, we will look at how the franchise came to be, assess the issues franchisees are facing, and analyze this business opportunity as a whole.
The Story Behind the Subway Franchise
What happens when you combine the minds of a nuclear physicist and a college student? You get one of the most successful franchises of all time. Subway began more than 50 years ago with Dr. Peter Buck and freshman college student Fred DeLuca. A franchise that now makes billions of dollars every year was founded by a 17-year-old who asked a family friend for $1,000.
Buck gave Fred DeLuca the idea to open a submarine sandwich shop to help him pay his tuition. Buck gave DeLuca a $1,000 initial investment, which symbolized the beginning of a business relationship that changed the landscape of the fast-food industry.
The first Subway location, then named "Pete's Super Submarines," opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut, serving fresh and affordable sandwiches. On the first day of opening, the two sold 312 sandwiches, which cost 49 to 69 cents. Pete's Subway grew rapidly and became the Subway franchise we recognize today.
By 1974, Buck and DeLuca owned 16 different submarine sandwich shops throughout the state. However, the two realized that, as a duo, they would not be able to expand efficiently to meet popular demand. They decided to begin franchising, planned to meet a 32-store goal, and launched the SUBWAY® brand. The first Subway franchise opened in Wallingford, Connecticut.
DeLuca, in a piece he wrote for Inc. in 2013, said when they started franchising, they didn't know what they were doing. However, their decision to franchise allowed them to grow their stores from 16 stores to 200 stores in the first eight years of business. The next goal was to reach 5,000 stores by 1994 and attempt to surpass McDonald's store count of 8,000 at the time. In 1987, they hit the thousand store milestone and by 1990, they had 5,144 stores. They passed McDonald's U.S. store count in 2002 and their global store count in 2010. Franchising the business brought remarkable growth which has continued over the years.
The Issues Subway Franchisees are Claiming
Since DeLuca's death in 2015, the franchise has been struggling: trying to hold their own against competitors such as Jimmy John's and Quizno's, falling behind new health trends, becoming a controversial company after a scandal involving their spokesperson, and now, more stores are closing rather than opening.
According to The New York Times, as of 2018, Subway "initiated the equivalent of 29 litigation actions (mostly arbitrations) per 1,000 franchisees." According to Subway's 2019 FDD, in total, there are 114 litigation actions, in addition to the 718 franchisor-initiated actions. On July 1st, the franchisor distributed a new, 621-page version of their FDD to potential franchisees, which includes all the pending litigation actions. There are numerous actions the restaurant franchise is involved in. Here are the key issues and conflicts arising between the franchisees and Subway:
1. Franchisees Are Losing Their Businesses to Development Agents
The biggest problem franchisees are facing right now is manipulation by the development agents. Development agents hold equal power to franchisees, they are usually franchisees themselves, however, they can recruit new franchisees, approve buyers for existing stores, and send field consultants, or inspectors, to inspect the stores monthly.
A year later, a single, blown out lightbulb marked as a violation by a field consultant caused Subway to terminate their contract.
According to the article, some franchisees had their businesses taken away because of unreasonable violation claims from inspectors sent by these development agents. For example, the article references this situation experienced by franchisees Manjo and Sadhana Tripathi.
The Tripathis have been Subway franchisees for two decades and, at one point, Manjo Tripathi owned 38 stores. In 2015, he was among the largest franchisees in the California East Bay region. His business took a turn in 2017 when inspectors sent by Subway kept citing new "problems" every month; the NYT piece lists little things like the "wrong brand of bathroom soap" or "cucumber slices being too thick." The small infractions and write-ups began to pile up. A year later, a single, blown out lightbulb marked as a violation by a field consultant caused Subway to terminate their contract.
In 2016, the couple filed an action against the franchisor, Doctor's Associates Inc., which "arises out of the Defendant's successful termination of the Plaintiffs' three stores in an arbitration forum," according to the FDD. They claimed there was a "breach of contract, interference with contract claim, violation of California's Franchise Relation Act and violation of B&P Code 172000. The couple sought "specific performance, punitive damages, actual damages, injunctive relief, restitution, disgorgement, attorney's fees and court costs in an amount greater than $15,000." In response to this claim, the franchisor motioned for arbitration in the United States District Court in Connecticut and it was granted. The Tripathis filed an appeal for the decision, which is still pending.
What Exactly Are the Development Agents Doing?
In order to expand in this industry, development agents need the rest of their competition to fail out of the system. The article states that these agents are given "the means and motivation to shut down competing stores and take over profitable ones by manipulating inspections." In other words, the Tripathis and several other franchisees had their businesses shut down over minuscule violations and taken over by the development agent shortly after. Some development agents choose which stores they want to target and tell field consultants to purposely write up violations. In some cases, this causes the business to eventually close.
To quote the article, Subway's franchise contract "forbids the company from unilaterally closing stores just because sales are weak. But franchisees can lose control of their restaurants for failing to meet Subway's operating standards.
2. The Franchise Grew Too Big Too Quickly
According to the article, before his death, DeLuca wanted to open 50,000 stores by 2017. According to Business Insider, the store closed over 900 locations that year. The franchisor notes in the FDD under Item 19 that at the start of 2018, Subway had 25,906 U.S. locations, and by the end of the year, they had 24,798. 1,108 stores shut down within one year.
The Times states that this happened for a few reasons: to achieve DeLuca's goal, Subway locations would open in the same area, some stores located within blocks of each other. Many of them felt pressure from the company to aggressively expand and the competition between franchisees intensified. For years, the company put a major focus on expanding rather than the progress of sales from the franchisees.
According to Restaurant Business, the growing number of locations, many in close proximity to each other, led to a low average of unit volumes. This makes it difficult for franchisees to handle rent, food, labor, and other costs.
3. Increase of Other Healthy Food Options
Business Insider reported that most consumers today are looking for healthier, organic, and fresh food to buy. In the past, Subway was one of the healthiest options among its fast-food competitors. Over time, this has changed as salad chains, like Sweetgreens, Fresh & Co., are growing and opening locations across the country. Although Subway paved the way for these restaurants, consumers today are better educated on nutrition and Subway does not meet their standards.
4. Scandals Are Hurting the Brand
Scandals can tarnish a brand's reputation and make consumers not want to support their stores. Subway garnered a lot of negative press over the years and has been harmful to their business.
Should I Open a Subway?
Subway is one of the most affordable franchise opportunities, in comparison to its fast-food competitors like McDonald's, Burger King, and so on. The startup costs are between $140,050 to $342,400 and the initial franchise fee is only $15,000. With these fees, anyone can become a franchisee. It is not completely impossible. Unfortunately, there are some claims that the relationship between the franchisees and Subway is not ideal. Overall, it is the potential franchisee's decision whether or not they want to own a Subway franchise. Not all Subway franchisees have experienced the issues listed above, but it is important to know what is going on with the franchise before making an informed decision.

We all know what shoes Michael Jordan was wearing during his career, as a simple look at his footwear selection would denote what year and season a certain picture was taken. But what about his teammate Scottie Pippen? He laced up a number of sneakers throughout his career as a Chicago Bull, but the Nike Air Flight Lite managed to stick with no.33 throughout the 1990-1991 season as well as during his sting with the 1992 Dream Team. Today the pair resurfaces donning a fresh colorway featuring the always eye-catching Hyper Jade throughout. Nike outfitting retros in a certain new school South Beach-esque palette is nothing new, just look at the Bo Jackson retro regime. What do you think of this pair? Stay tuned for a release date in the near future and grab a better view of the sneaker by continuing onward after the break.

There is a reasonable chance the lone open scholarship on the books for the 2019-20 season will remain open until the November signing date arrives.
And that scenario is just fine with Colorado men's basketball coach Tad Boyle.
With only one senior on the 2018-19 roster, Namon Wright, and an intriguing wealth of young big men already in the mix, Boyle's focus this summer on the recruiting trail has been to land another guard for the 2019-20 season. Even though one target of those efforts committed elsewhere earlier this week, Boyle is perfectly content keeping that scholarship on hold for the ever-growing spring recruiting market if necessary.
"The biggest thing is you don't want to panic. You want to stay patient and it really gives you a great chance to evaluate," Boyle said. "When you have three or four scholarships to fill, there's a little more urgency to get guys done. When you have one, you can be patient. If we don't fill it early, it's not the end of the world.
"If we sign one in November, it's going to be a guy we want, not a guy we settle on."
Earlier this week, Ethan Anderson, a guard out of Los Angeles who was offered a scholarship by CU during his visit in February, opted to give his verbal commitment to UNLV. Yet given the proliferation of the spring recruiting season, Boyle might be able to keep more options on the table if no recruiting commit is in the fold by November. It is a similar situation as 2014-15, when the Buffs went into the season with just one scholarship senior, Askia Booker, and no commitments from the high school ranks. That roster spot later was turned over to Division II transfer and eventual NBA first-round draft pick Derrick White.
In fact, among the 13 scholarship players set to take the floor for CU in 2018-19, only six of them — Deleon Brown, Evan Battey, D'Shawn Schwartz, Tyler Bey, Daylen Kountz and Elijah Parquet — were inked on the early basketball signing date in November. The remainder — Namon Wright, Lucas Siewert, Shane Gatling, Alex Strating, Dallas Walton, McKinley Wright and newcomer Jakub Dombek — all were added during the spring recruiting period.
"We're in a position where we have a good, young core group, and obviously we want to add to that," Boyle said. "When you have one scholarship, it becomes pretty special. But we know from past experience that one scholarship can turn into two very quickly. We're recruiting a lot of different guys, a lot of different positions.
"One thing we probably don't need is a big man, which is kind of nice because they're so hard to get and in such limited supply. But that will change in 2020. We'll probably need to add another big there. We're on some good guys and we're looking at a lot of young players for the 2020 and 2021 classes that are right around the corner."

Being at my grandparents' house meant a warm place on the couch, it meant the yellow light of a reading lamp, it meant some voices of concern ("you have lost so much weight!") it meant food and drink, and it meant pie:
Actually, it meant lots of pies. And cakes. And cookies.
This was good because the world outside was still grey…
and bleak.
Please forgive me for my curiosity, but that pie looks delicious. May I ask what type of pie is that?
The proof of the pudding is in the eating
Would you mind describing the pie(s) a little better?
And the tantalizing pudding North West of the pie and South South East of the sliced bread?
Josie Ella
They will fatten you up in no time. That's what Grandparents do. Grey and bleak, do you need some warm sunshine?
Oh, mouth-watering pie!
Barb B
See? People just know that nothing beats pie, especially served at grandparents' house.
Possibly the pie is rows and rows of apple slices, on edge.
The pie was a French apple pie with an almond filling underneath the apples. I am the baker ;).

PUBLISHED: 09:33 09 October 2019 | UPDATED: 09:33 09 October 2019
A Lowestoft man has shared his eye-opening experience teaching sex education in Africa.
James Boosey travelled to Kenya in June this year via the government funded International Citizen Service (ICS) programme. As part of the programme, the 24-year-old lived with a host family, was embedded in the community and ushered around the village by 80-year-old local man named Edward.
Mr Boosey said: "In my community, barriers to education were a big problem. Many young girls do not go to school when they start their period as they can not afford sanitary products."
To combat this, he organised a fundraiser with his volunteer team to buy 300 menstrual cups for the women in the community as they couldn't afford sanitary products.
"Menstrual cups last for 10 years and are more hygienic than other methods, and with this project we hope we can increase school participation among girls in the long term.
You may also want to watch:
"Early pregnancy was also another major issue. This not only forces young girls to leave school, but can also be very damaging to their health. Indeed, complications during pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of death for girls aged 15 to 19 globally."
The volunteers held sex education sessions in the school and taught pupils about topics such as contraception and STIs.
He said: "There were many aspects of my volunteering that I enjoyed. I was part of a great team, and working and building relationships with members of the local community was very rewarding.
"I was particularly proud of a project I managed with two others working with the elderly. We raised some funds to purchase blankets and bar soap for people who had been neglected by others in the local area and were struggling."
He said Edward showed him around the local village for three hours introducing the volunteer to elderly people and translating.
"With his help we invited around 30 guests to a day in celebration of the elderly where we held talks on sanitation and offered refreshments along with the gifts.
"We also had money left over for the next cycle of volunteers to use towards working with the elderly."

This year's butter sculpture was a version of American Gothic. When I go to the fair it is the first thing I want to see. The whimsy of the idea of sculpting out of butter is just charming to me. I did like the rockstar cows better. If you check out the link, it is the story behind our local butter sculptor.
Since my sister Meesha moved back to Utah, we decided that we needed to go play and do the fun things our husbands and kids thought were lame. The State fair was our first outing. My goal was to get some cool pictures more than anything else, but I decided that I need to take a class or something. I am not willing (yet) to put in the money to buy a good camera, so all I do is cell phone photography, and I just don't know what I am doing wrong. Everything comes out blurry and dull. I try to sharpen and brighten after the fact, but that just makes everything look artificial. Oh well. Here is the best that I got below.
Fancy feets.
Piggy mama and babies.
This was the petting tent. If you don't think about these animals being harvested for food it is a lot more fun... :)
On the spot spinning lesson.
Baby cowses.
and baby ducks!
I love listening to the judges. They talk about the lines they are looking for on the animal,size, and proportion. It reminds me a lot of the bodybuilding competition I was in. Same concept I suppose.
These goats cracked me up. They were making the wrong sound! They sounded like Ma in Babe.
Look at this fancy animal! So glossy and perfect I had to snap a picture. then I noticed the guy leading was matching. Do you think that was on purpose?
Here is where they make them perfect for judging. They were shaving, and spray painting, combing, trimming and polishing. Fascinating. ALSO like the bodybuilding competition!
It is tradition to be a little bit naughty at the fair right? This was pineapple ice cream in a float with passionfruit juice. 8.50!(overpricing is also a fair tradition) but it was delectable.
We took it in with us to the free circus that was part of admission. We only stayed for the trick dogs and the trapeze artist.
She was amazing though! Once she was done, a clown came out, and the float was gone, so we left. We aren't big circus people. No exotic animals in this one either as far as we could tell. That was a relief. The ethics worry me anymore.
We finished up at the flower exhibits, which made me want to plant dahlias even more. I can't believe the size of these guys. Maybe Meesh and I will hit Gardner village next!

CRP "" Early Out
Policy Development May 2011
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) was created as part of the 1985 Farm Bill to help producers cope with Highly Erodible Land (HEL) restrictions contained in the same bill. At its inception, emphasis was placed on enrolling highly erodible land into the program. Over the years, other environmental concerns have also been incorporated into the enrollment criteria.
Today, ending stocks for many crops are at or near historically low levels. Increasing domestic and export demand is projected to keep stocks at low levels for some time to come. Projections indicate an additional 390 million bushels of corn and 500 million bushels of soybeans will be exported per year by the end of the next decade just to meet the expected export demand. Considering the conservation purpose of the CRP, can some CRP acres be brought out in an environmentally sensitive manner? A penalty-free release of non-sensitive CRP acreage may provide additional acreage to meet growing worldwide demand for agricultural commodities.
CRP is a voluntary program that assists farmers, ranchers and other agricultural producers in using their environmentally sensitive land for conservation benefits. Producers enrolling in CRP plant long-term, resource-conserving covers in exchange for rental payments, cost-share and technical assistance. Participants enroll in CRP contracts for 10 to 15 years. Land that comes out of the CRP prior to the contract completion date faces a severe penalty, essentially requiring the farmer to pay back all of the past rental payment, plus other penalties.
The 2008 Farm Bill capped CRP enrollment at 32 million acres. There are two types of enrollment "" continuous and general enrollment. Land enrolled in the continuous CRP program tends to be filter strips and riparian buffers that will not return to production. Land enrolled in the general CRP program may return to production under the appropriate economic conditions. Of the 30.9 million acres currently enrolled in CRP, 26.1 million acres are in the general program and 4.8 million acres are in the continuous program.
In September 2011, there will be 4.25 million acres expiring from the general enrollment with an additional 6.25 million acres expiring in September 2012. The acreage enrolled in general contracts expiring in 2013 will decline to 3 million acres and will then decrease 2 million acres per year from 2014-17.
Set aside programs, such as the CRP, are considered non trade distorting by the World Trade Organization since the purpose of the set-aside is for conservation, not supply control. However, early removal of land from CRP strictly to increase production would be considered trade distorting. Reductions in the number of overall acres eligible for the programs due to budget reductions (such as deficit reduction or reductions in farm bill allocations) would not be considered supply related for WTO purposes.
The impact of having land returned to production depends on where the land is located. Release of CRP acres in high production areas will have a greater impact than increasing acreage in less productive areas. Of the 4.25 million CRP general enrollment acres expiring in 2011, about 11 percent are located in the Midwest and 28 percent are located in the Upper Plains. Similarly, of the 6.25 million acres of CRP general enrollment acres expiring in 2012, 15 percent are located in the Midwest and 28 percent are located in the Upper Plains.
An analysis of the production potential of acreage, located in the Midwest, enrolled in CRP suggests that an additional 500 million to 700 million bushels of corn can be produced if that acreage were returned to corn production. Similarly, an analysis of the wheat production potential for acreage enrolled in CRP suggests that in excess of 100 million additional bushels of wheat can be produced if that acreage was returned to production.
Would a penalty-free release of non-sensitive CRP cropland encourage increased grain supply and benefit farm families?
Would this help meet demand for food and feed?
What are the ramifications to the public?
Farm Bureau Policy:
235 "" Conservation Reserve Program
Lines 1-6: We support the continuation of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and the continuous Conservation Reserve Program. Tenant farmers' rights must be protected. Reasonable limits on participation should be included to protect the economic stability on individual counties or regions. Highly erodible land producing all crops should be eligible for enrollment in CRP.
Lines 18-24: We support: (1) The current rule limiting CRP acres to 25 percent of the total county crop acres including Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program and all experimental pilot projects except for small acreage enrolled in continuous CRP. Any waivers in effect when expiring contracts were enrolled should remain in effect, as determined by the appropriate state Farm Service Agency committee;
Lines 45-47: (9) CRP contracts should be allowed to remain as written. There should be no additional restrictions put on the use of the land when it comes out of the long-range CRP.

Among the major projects that India and Sri Lanka agreed to work upon are- A regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) fired 500 MW capacity LNG Power Plant. An LNG Terminal /Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) in Colombo/Kerawalapitiya; A port, petroleum refinery and other industries in Trincomalee, for which a joint working group will be set up.
Besides that, an upper tank farm in Trincomalee would be jointly developed by India and Sri Lanka.
"We proposed to Sri Lanka to develop upper tank farm as a joint venture. This needs fresh investment. Sri Lanka also had special requirements. There will be discussions between the two sides on various aspects and details," it said.
A port, petroleum refinery and other industries in Trincomalee area will be built, for which a joint working group will be set up.
Special economic zones or industrial zones locations have been identified in Sri Lanka. Important road segments Mannar-Jaffna, Mannar-Trincomalee and Dambulla-Trincomale Expressway under Indian investments.
The MoU proposed to develop railway sector in Sri Lanka including new projects for track upgradations and purchase of rolling stock.
The agreement also proposed to develop a Container Terminal in Colombo Port as a Joint Venture and agricultural sector and livestock development in Sri Lanka.
"The MoU is, thus, in the nature of an agenda or a roadmap for the future. It identifies projects and areas of bilateral economic and investment cooperation," it said.

Toward the end of our visit to Hôpital Universitaire de Mirebalais, I was given the opportunity to interview various members of the amazing staff. It was during one of these interviews that I was struck by a profound and beautiful statement. While speaking with Marie, the surgical ward manager, I asked if she could tell me about what goes on inside the walls of the hospital.
Her response was simple and poignant:
"We make miracles."
Marie's answer is by no means an overstatement, but a resounding truth that could plainly be seen by any visitor of Partners In Health's 300-bed facility in rural Haiti. There are certainly miracles happening in this place: a place to which people travel hundreds of miles and sometimes wait days to be seen because they know the quality of care they will receive; a place that recently performed a miraculous, successful operation to separate conjoined twins.
With the assistance of Marc Julmisse, Mirebalais' Chief Nursing Officer, Health eVillages was able to launch a new program this past week and deploy 11 devices to this site. In a training session led by Kathryn Eaton, Health eVillages' Project Coordinator, 10 nurses were trained on the Omnio application and given access to French-language medical resources.
Being that the facility is a university hospital, education will play a particularly significant role in Mirebalais. During our discussion with Marc, she spoke with great enthusiasm about having a "captive audience" in the patients that are waiting to receive care and how this presents a great opportunity to provide education by utilizing the device's video content. "The possibilities are endless," Marc explains, "and we can now challenge our staff to think about the endless possibilities."
By providing technology that integrates into the nursing staff's workflow, it is our hope that Health eVillages may empower these nurses to continue to do what they do best: make miracles.

Panel recommends Alton buy former lumberyard
ALTON - With two members absent Monday, an aldermanic committee unanimously recommended that officials proceed with the purchase of a former lumberyard and adjacent property.
The negotiated price of the 5.18-acre, former Great Central Lumber Co., 81 Henry St., owned by Millman Lumber Co., and 1.88-acre site held by Cornerstone Bank and Trust is $1.3 million.
Phil Roggio, Alton director of development and housing, said the city did not have the sites appraised, but noted that nearby commercial land across Landmarks Boulevard is listed at a much higher price.
"Across the street, Hoods (site) is more than $10 a square foot, this works out to $4.25," he said. "We are comfortable that this price is more than fair."
The city is working with a developer in hopes of bringing a hotel to the site. Officials still want to buy the properties, regardless of whether the hotel materializes, because of its proximity to Riverfront Park, busy Landmarks and the Clark Bridge.
The city will use tax increment financing district money and possibly federal stimulus facility bonds and New Market Tax Credits to buy the land.
Also related to Riverfront Park, the committee unanimously recommended the City Council OK a resolution, which may be amended, to prohibit tractor-trailers weighing more than 10,000 pounds to park on its lots.
"We have observed truckers using Riverfront Park for overnight parking or extended stays," Roggio said. "I saw three on one given evening."
Brad Cunningham, executive director of the Alton Park and Recreation Department, said he saw a truck taking up eight or nine parking spaces during an event recently.
Roggio said he is talking with representatives of Argosy Casino to ensure the restriction would not interfere with their deliveries, and aldermen may have to amend the resolution.
The committee also recommended the city use Community Development Block Grant money to buy 223 McClure Ave., from a bank at a cost not to exceed $8,000. The home would be demolished.
Sixth Ward Alderman Gary Fleming once again asked if the city has any plans for the property, still unhappy that another demolition site on East Broadway, at Dorris Street, needs cleaning and other work.
"The dilapidated building looked better than it does now," he said.
Roggio said an asbestos contractor needs to return to clean off the floor pad before the city can do more work. Bill Kerr, public works director, said he would take a crew to the McClure site to decide what the city will do with the land before the home is torn down.
The other resolutions, which will come before the City Council on Wednesday, authorize Alton Marketplace to sell alcohol at its Big Gig concert July 24, and at its Earthtones Festival on Sept. 18 in Riverfront Park.
Alderman Jim Ryan, 1st Ward, and Alderwoman Alice Martin, 4th Ward, were absent.

Hall Of Fire Chats For March 16th & 17th
For years, the topic of Balrog wings has been hotly debated by Tolkien experts and geeks alike. Due to the ambiguity of his writing, the debate over whether a Balrog has physical, touch-with-your-hand wings or not depends, as with quite a lot of Tolkien's Middle-Earth, on the mental image of every single individual.

I am currently reading my way through a long list of science fiction and fantasy titles. (http://www.npr.org/2011/08/07/138938145/science-fiction-and-fantasy-finalists if you are interested in the list).
A hero with an incredible talent...for breaking things. A life-or-death mission...to rescue a bag of sand. A fearsome threat from a powerful secret network...the evil Librarians.
Alcatraz Smedry doesn't seem destined for anything but disaster. On his 13th birthday he receives a bag of sand, which is quickly stolen by the cult of evil Librarians plotting to take over the world. The sand will give the Librarians the edge they need to achieve world domination. Alcatraz must stop them!...by infiltrating the local library, armed with nothing but eyeglasses and a talent for klutziness.
***Wanda's Summer Carnival of Children's Literature***
Cute, funny, and smart. Add in a coterie of Evil Librarians, plus magical skills acquired through the wearing of lenses (i.e. glasses). Also very meta, in that the author talks directly to the reader. A lot.
Of course, working in libraries, I was predisposed to love this. (Although I shouldn't—I should be suppressing this work, like a good Evil Librarian).
I would recommend it for children who are dismayed about needing glasses. I think it would be an encouraging book for them and make their glasses seem more like the useful tools that they actually are.

June 2017 Orange County Lawyer Article Explores Structuring of Attorney's Fees Recovery.
Patrick C. Farber (a structured settlements broker), in a June 2017 Orange County Lawyer article entitled "Financial Management Strategy: Structuring Attorney's Fees," discusses strategies and tax implications for plaintiff's attorneys due to receive recovery of a substantial fee recovery. It suggests that an annuity structure, much like that used for plaintiffs recovering a large fee recovery under a settlement, might make sense depending on the attorney's future needs.
Litigation Cost Insurance Covers Plaintiff's Expenses Up To $250,000.
In the June 2017 edition of the ABA Journal, the magazine discusses that Level Insurance offers litigation cost protection insurance to plaintiffs or plaintiffs' counsel subject to certain adverse litigation expenses. The insurance is available to attorneys taking cases on a contingency basis as well as plaintiffs, with the insurer providing coverage starting at $3,500 and up to $250,000. The insurance can be purchased up to 90 days after a case initially is filed, subject to other conditions but covering a broad range of costs. The premiums are 7 percent of the coverage amount, exclusive of taxes and fees, regardless of the type of case. If plaintiffs themselves purchase coverage, the insurance will not reimburse fees but will cover routine expenses.
