Annie, I did not mean to emphasize the question if ancestors, but rather the justification/mitigation of violence against civilians. To rephrase it, In order to further your political aims: Does the motivation mitigate acts morally equivalent to rape? Can you mitigate/justify violence targeting civilians? Are acts ‘morally equivalent to rape’ more or less severe than actual acts of murder or violence? But I don’t see how you can condemn Goldstein and not condemn Mughrabi. Is the killing of Mohammed Khdeir worse than the killing of Einat Haran? There is no justification for targeting civilians.

BACKGROUND: Asthma education and self-management are key recommendations of asthma management guidelines because they improve health outcomes. There are several different modalities for the delivery of asthma self-management education. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated programmes that: 1) Optimised asthma control through inhaled corticosteroid use by regular medical review or optimised asthma control by individualised written action plans 2) Used written self-management plans based on peak expiratory flow self-monitoring compared with symptom self-monitoring 3) Compared different options for the delivery of optimal self-management programmes. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Airways Group trials register and reference lists of articles. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised trials of asthma self-management education interventions in adults over 16 years of age with asthma. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Fifteen trials met the inclusion criteria. Trial quality was assessed and data were extracted independently by two reviewers. Study authors were contacted for confirmation. MAIN RESULTS: 1) Six studies compared optimal self-management allowing self-adjustment of medications according to an individualised written action plan to adjustment of medications by a doctor. These two styles of asthma management gave equivalent effects for hospitalisation, ER visits, unscheduled doctor visits and nocturnal asthma. 2) Self-management using a written action plan based on PEF was found to be equivalent to self-management using a symptoms based written action plan in the six studies which compared these interventions. 3) Three studies compared self-management options. In one, that provided optimal therapy but tested the omission of regular review, the latter was associated with more health centre visits and sickness days. In another, comparing high and low intensity education, the latter was associated with more unscheduled doctor visits. In a third, no difference in health care utilisation or lung function was reported between verbal instruction and written action plans. REVIEWER’S CONCLUSIONS: Optimal self-management allowing for optimisation of asthma control by adjustment of medications may be conducted by either self-adjustment with the aid of a written action plan or by regular medical review. Individualised written action plans based on peak expiratory flow are equivalent to action plans based on symptoms. Reducing the intensity of self-management education or level of clinical review may reduce its effectiveness.

you crack me up nathan. you don’t want to discuss the topic, you want this to be about the author. divert divert divert…let’s talk about your intent. because it’s fairly clear it isn’t finding out hers. it’s cornering her, slandering her. come on, you can do it. spill the beans nathan.

CPK is present in variable tissues that rapidly consume and buffer adenosine triphosphate (ATP), predominantly in the heart [43], brain and skeletal muscle. High CPK level is associated with injury or stress to the heart [44] which causes the enzyme to leak into the circulation. Kim et. al study showed that antihypertensive treatments by Gynura procumbens cause reduction in CPK level by 48% [17]. Our study showed that the level of CPK was not affected by Kadukmy™ treatment and was within the normal clinical range for rats. This finding was in accordance to the human study that showed serum CPK level was not associated with the control of hypertension [45].

Although a major aim of the study was to examine societal costs of employing this test, the actual cost of the test to an individual patient is nowhere to be found.  It appears to be in the hundreds of dollars, and there is no sign that Medicare is covering it as of yet.  The release notes that a number of US-based insurance companies have contracted to use the test.

as for kuntar’s upbringing, frankly i don’t know much about it. his mission to take hostages in order to trade israel who hundreds held in their jails, i really have no idea. the year before israel had invaded southern lebanon, killed thousands, internally displaced hundreds of thousands. so i don’t know his personal story that lead to him leading that mission. but one should ask, who risks their life and the life of others to release people from the fortresses israel has set up to imprison, maintain and perpetuate the continued colonization of the levant?

Seems to me they iterate, over and over, all the reasons why a Jew think Jews are entitled to Zionism, and stress all the things Jews can gain from Zionism and occupation of Palestine.

To say that something is wrong is to define what a better situation would be like, ie one in which the wrongful elements were absent. But we should not confuse an idea of a better situation with a plan to bring that better situation about, which is another matter. My understanding of Avigail (some of whose views of colonialism I don’t fully share) is that she answers the question of ‘what is wrong with steady elimination of a culture?’ by saying ‘it’s just like continual rape’. The better situation therefore would be one where force and contempt were replaced with cooperation and respect, which does imply equal rights, which in turn implies the end of Palestinian disfranchisement. It is objected that the Palestinians will not consider this possible unless the Jewish population is massively reduced in numbers and cultural power with, as it were, the rapists raped. But we cannot for ever refrain from trying to help or rescue victims by the fear that they will turn into victimisers. Avigail comes from a therapeutic point of view, so she doesn’t despair of finding a positive way.
