I haven’t read the book this review refers to, Politics of Language in the Ex-Soviet Muslim States, but based on the review, I disagree with it. I think the book underestimates the degree of Russification and Sovietization that has taken place in Central Asia.

pump•mate™ advocate program Pump mate is a system whereby breast milk is pumped right into sterile bags that can be used in baby bottles. Seems like a good idea, but it’s not, for a variety of reasons. For one thing, sucking on a bottle and suckling at a breast are two very different mouth movements. A baby who gets both is likely to get tired of the breast. So pumping breast milk to be fed by a bottle is not likely to achieve the desired result of improving breast milk intake. (supplements to breast milk should be given in a cup.) For another thing, there is the mildly unsavory advocate program.

Thinking about DOTS some more…I realized that it doesn’t have to be better than current gold standard tuberculosis treatments, it merely has to be as good, which is what the Cochrane review said. The systems that DOTS is replacing in the developing world are nowhere near gold standard, so DOTS is clearly an improvement.
