Imperialism and Human Rights
Colonial Discourses of Rights and Liberties in African History
Bonny Ibhawoh - Author
SUNY series in Human Rights
Release Date: November 2006
2007 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title
Looks at the language of rights used by diverse interest groups in British-colonized Nigeria.
In this seminal study, Bonny Ibhawoh investigates the links between European imperialism and human rights discourses in African history. Using British-colonized Nigeria as a case study, he examines how diverse interest groups within colonial society deployed the language of rights and liberties to serve varied socioeconomic and political ends. Ibhawoh challenges the linear progressivism that dominates human rights scholarship by arguing that, in the colonial African context, rights discourses were not simple monolithic or progressive narratives. They served both to insulate and legitimize power just as much as they facilitated transformative processes. Drawing extensively on archival material, this book shows how the language of rights, like that of "civilization" and "modernity," became an important part of the discourses deployed to rationalize and legitimize empire.
"…[a] well-researched and thoughtful book." — American Historical Review
"Ibhawoh's non-triumphalist but constructive account of a changing human rights discourse is refreshing." — Left History
"This carefully constructed and well-documented book opens a new chapter in the study of human rights and sets a high standard for others to emulate." — CHOICE
"It is generally assumed that the present-day human rights revolution began in 1948 with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. While not taking direct issue with the importance of the UDHR, Ibhawoh very effectively shows how the language of rights had already been used (and misused) in British colonial practices in Nigeria. Fascinating and thought-provoking, this book has a great deal of relevance to the major human rights debates that are going on right now." — Mark Gibney, author of Five Uneasy Pieces: American Ethics in a Globalized World
"In this very interesting volume, Bonny Ibhawoh shows the reader how Africans in colonial Nigeria used the British imperial discourse of rights, and merged it with their own traditional notions of rights and obligations, to negotiate their own interests against their colonial overlords. Using court documents from the time, Ibhawoh investigates property rights in land, civil and political rights, and rights in marriage and the family. Ibhawoh bridges the gap between theoretical analysis of human rights, and analysis of human rights as negotiated terrain, rooted in local struggles." — Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann, Canada Research Chair in International Human Rights, Wilfrid Laurier University
Bonny Ibhawoh is Assistant Professor of History at McMaster University, Canada.

since a few days I get fantom calls on my cell phone. It rings and as soon as I pickup the call is gone. Some times I manage to pickup after only one ring but still the caller is gone. No number is displayed so I guess it is not a call-me-back-scam. I'm on EPlus/BASE here in Germany. Any ideas?
two weeks ago I got the 6 cell battery that I ordered way over a month before. Now my netbook runs for about 4 hours while using WiFi, this is not great but good enough. Also with the two batteries I get a total of 6 hours. Note, this is Linux not Windows.
The only thing that still bugs me is the touchpad. The sentelic thing used by my Wind is no competition for the synapics touchpad in my 4 year old Thinkpad. Also I kind of got used to it by now.
Looking at the other netbooks that are currently available the MSI Wind still is one of the best. At least for my needs.
This post in the XDA-Developers forum shows that Windows Mobile 6 on HTC devices is vulnerable to malicious WAP Push SI (Service Indication) and SL (Service Load) messages. An attacker can send a message containing a URL to an executable, the executable will be automatically downloaded and executed WITHOUT any user interaction. The problem is that HTC disabled the security settings for these kinds of WAPPush messages, normally a device should only accept these kinds of messages from trusted originators (e.g. your service provider - don't know if I want this either).
The bug is kind of similar to one of the MMS-based bugs I discovered 2 years ago where the Windows Mobile devices would accept WAPPush messages over UDP (WiFi).
This WAPPush auto execute configuration bug is really bad since it would allow anybody to write a very simple worm that only needs to send WAPPush messages (SMSs) to spread. The victim device than downloads and executes the worm binary from the Internet.
They even made a demo video, also you don't see too much.
Is it really only HTC devices?
Is it only Windows Mobile 6?
Does this work via WiFi (like my notiflood tool)?
QR Codes are slowly being used here in Germany but on my recent trip to Japan (Tokyo actually) I found QR codes to be used everywhere, from Mc Donald's to beer brewers. I've took a few pictures of QR codes and put them into a small gallery over here. I really think QR codes are a funny piece of technology - so I'll keep collecting pictures of QR codes.
Here are my slides for my BlackHat Japan talk Exploiting Symbian. This work was done as part of my research at Fraunhofer SIT. If you have any questions please contact me through my website at Fraunhofer SIT.

Is there any way we can skip loading of j2ee.jar at startup of WebSphere?

A: Your question is incorrect, probably what you really want is to replace JAX-RS engine provided with WAS with some third part. And you should never pack j2ee.jar with your application as all required classes are already loaded by the server.

Q: How to update the value from the updated Array? I have an array by default with all the checkbox status as true.
let initialarray = [{name: 'Approved', isChecked: true},
                    {name: 'Rejected', isChecked: true},
                    {name: 'Pending', isChecked: true},
                    {name: 'Cancelled', isChecked: true}]

All the checkboxes are selected, As I set checked to true
When I try to uncheck the approved status I can able to update the respective Object
checked status to false.
My OnChange Function looks like Below
const onChange = (e) => {
 const updatedStatus = initialarray.map((item) =>
  item.name === e.target.name
    ? { ...item, isChecked: e.target.checked }
    : item
 );
};

 updatedstatus= [{name: 'Approved', isChecked: false},
                {name: 'Rejected', isChecked: true},
                {name: 'Pending', isChecked: true},
                {name: 'Cancelled', isChecked: true}]

When I try to uncheck the Rejected name, I am able to update on the rejected status object but the Approved name status again changing to true.
 updatedstatus= [{name: 'Approved', isChecked: true},
                {name: 'Rejected', isChecked: false},
                {name: 'Pending', isChecked: true},
                {name: 'Cancelled', isChecked: true}]

Latest Updated status only I can able to change. other status it was resetting to true
Expected:
expected= [{name: 'Approved', isChecked: false},
                {name: 'Rejected', isChecked: false},
                {name: 'Pending', isChecked: true},
                {name: 'Cancelled', isChecked: true}]

A: You also need to replace the initialStatus with the updated status.
You are again and again looping on the initialArray and never updating it.
const onChange = (e) => {
 const updatedStatus = initialarray.map((item) =>
  item.name === e.target.name
    ? { ...item, isChecked: e.target.checked }
    : item
 );
initialarray = updatedStatus;
};

A: Store that array as a state since states will persist between component updates.
When setting the state in the onChange, use a call back that takes prevState.

const { useState } = React

function App() {
  const [checkboxes, setCheckboxes] = useState(
    [
      {name: 'Approved', isChecked: false},
      {name: 'Rejected', isChecked: true},
      {name: 'Pending', isChecked: true},
      {name: 'Cancelled', isChecked: true}
    ]
  )

  const onChange = (e) => {
    setCheckboxes(prevState =>  prevState.map((item) =>
    item.name === e.target.name
      ? { ...item, isChecked: e.target.checked }
      : item
    ))
  };

  console.log(checkboxes)

  return (

      {checkboxes.map((box, i) =>
        <input
          type="checkbox"
          checked={box.isChecked}
          onChange={onChange}
          name={box.name}
          key={i} />
      )}

  )

}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, window.root)

A: The issue is that you are using initialarray to update the state.
const updatedStatus = initialarray.map(...

Instead of you need to use the prevoState object in the setState callback.

const initialarray = [
  { name: "Approved", isChecked: true },
  { name: "Rejected", isChecked: true },
  { name: "Pending", isChecked: true },
  { name: "Cancelled", isChecked: true }
];

function App() {
  const [state, setState] = React.useState(initialarray);

  const onChange = (name) => {
    setState((prevState) =>
      prevState.map((item) =>
        item.name === name ? { ...item, isChecked: !item.isChecked } : item
      )
    );
  };

  return (

      {state.map(({ name, isChecked }) => (
        <React.Fragment key={name}>
          <input
            type="checkbox"
            id={name}
            checked={isChecked}
            onChange={() => onChange(name)}
          />
           {name}

        </React.Fragment>
      ))}

  );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.querySelector('.react'));

La chape, du latin cappa qui signifie capuchon, cape, est un vêtement employé dans la liturgie catholique.

Il s'agit d'une grande cape de cérémonie, appelée par les rubriques pluvial, de forme semi-circulaire, agrafée par-devant et portée par le prêtre et l'évêque principalement lors des bénédictions solennelles, telles que les vêpres, les laudes solennelles ainsi que lors des processions. Sa couleur dépend du temps liturgique.

Jusqu'à la promulgation du missel romain de 1969, elle était également portée pour l'aspersion de l'eau bénite avant la grand-messe du dimanche. Elle peut également être portée par de simples clercs ou par les chantres dont elle est avec le surplis et le bâton, signe de fonction, le vêtement de chœur. D'usage immémorial en France, elle est le vêtement de cérémonie des grands - clercs - chapiers, confirmés par indult papal dans les diocèses lors du passage au rite Romain (par exemple pour Paris l' Instruction de Mgr Joseph Hippolyte Guibert, archevêque de Paris - Paris 1874)

Le chapier est le meuble immense dévolu à la conservation des chapes qui y sont déployées à plat du fait de leur préciosité (la place restante est réservée à d'autres habits religieux tels que chasuble, dalmatique de diacre, voile huméral, couverture de dais pour la procession du Saint Sacrement, etc...)

Chape chorale

La chape chorale est, à l'origine, employée par la plupart des communautés séculières vouées au chant de l'office, pour se protéger du froid et couvrir les vêtements ordinaires. Dès le Moyen Âge, elle est adoptée par les chanoines réguliers comme habit de chœur. Comme telle, elle leur est empruntée par certains ordres mendiants, tels que les dominicains, carmes, trinitaires, mercédaires ou encore les servites.

Elle se compose d'un manteau et d'un chaperon à capuchon. Le manteau, sans manches, est fendu par devant. Fermé par une ou deux agrafes, il descend jusqu'aux pieds. Presque toujours noir, il est aujourd'hui sans fourrure. Au Moyen Âge, en hiver, il était doublé d'une pelisse et porté par-dessus le vêtement de chœur principal, la coule ou la cuculle. Durant l'époque médiévale, durant une partie du temps pascal, certaines communautés monastiques et canoniales revêtaient des chapes blanches. Il en était ainsi de l'abbaye de Saint-Germain-des-Prés de Paris et des chanoines de Saint-Victor.
Le chaperon a parfois été double, composé de deux troncs coniques joints par leur base, le second cône finissant en capuchon. Les novices chartreux et les chanoines réguliers de l'Immaculée-Conception le portent toujours ainsi. Pour les autres il a évolué en un chaperon simple, toujours fermé par devant, finissant en pointe au milieu du dos, avec un capuchon derrière le cou, qui n'est plus guère porté au chœur.

Chape curiale

La chape curiale est un vêtement réservé à la cour pontificale pour certaines fonctions, comme jadis les chapelles papales, les consistoires, les processions, les cavalcades et les réunions des collèges dont elle était un privilège. Elle est le signe distinctif de certains fonctionnaires de la curie romaine en présence du pape. En dehors de ces cas précis, ces clercs portent le manteau de chœur (mantellone) ou l'habit de chœur qui leur est propre. Elle se porte directement sur la soutane, sans l'intermédiaire de surplis ou de rochet.

Elle se compose de deux parties, un manteau et un chaperon. Le manteau, de laine, agrafé au cou, est entièrement ouvert en avant et muni de deux manches courtes et larges, à revers, qui ne dépassent pas l'avant bras. Les parements sont de soie. Le chaperon est très différent de celui de la cappa magna. Il est en forme à fond de cuve, tel que le portaient les maîtres de l'université au Moyen Âge. Il comprenait autrefois deux chaperons superposés, celui de dessous un peu plus long que celui de dessus, qui actuellement est double par derrière et se termine en capuchon boutonné derrière le cou. L'été, le chaperon est entièrement en soie. L'hiver, il était recouvert d'hermine. Les prélats de mantellone portaient une chape écarlate avec des agréments de couleur ponceau (rouge très vif).

Les avocats consistoriaux avaient droit à la chape violette, avec agréments de soie cramoisie et un chaperon ouvert à l'avant. Les procureurs du collège avaient une chape entièrement noire, avec les agréments de soie noire et un chaperon sans fourrure. Les caudataires des cardinaux avaient une sorte de chape de laine violette, avec revers de soie violette et un chaperon de soie mis de travers, ce qui lui a valu le nom italien de crocia (croisière).

La chape est parfois concédée par indult à certains chapitres.

Chape prélatice

La chape prélatice, aussi appelée cappa magna, est un grand manteau de chœur, descendant aux pieds et fermé par devant, comportant une queue de longueur variable selon la dignité, recouvert sur les épaules et la poitrine d'un chaperon, double par derrière et qui finit en capuchon boutonné derrière le cou, avec une fente sous le chaperon pour y passer les mains. La chape prélatice est portée au chœur, sur le rochet, par les cardinaux et les évêques résidentiels dans leur diocèse pour les fêtes les plus solennelles. Dans la pratique, elle est très rarement revêtue, en France, depuis le milieu des années 1960.

La cappa des cardinaux est en soie moirée de couleur rouge, celle des évêques de laine violette. Le chaperon, de moire rouge ou de soie cramoisie, selon le rang, était, en hiver, doublé sur l'extérieur et à l'intérieur du capuchon, d'une fourrure blanche. Cette fourrure a été supprimée par l'Instruction Ut sive sollicite du .

Lorsque celui qui la porte est debout, la partie antérieure du manteau est retroussée sur les bras et quand il est au chœur, assis ou à genoux, il la laisse retomber au sol. Quand la queue de la chape prélatice est portée déployée, elle est un signe de juridiction. Elle est portée par un caudataire.

Certains chapitres de chanoines ont le privilège de la chape prélatice violette, au chaperon de soie cramoisie, avec jadis, la fourrure blanche pendant l'hiver. En ce cas, la queue de la cappa n'est pas déployée et se ramène alors sur le bras gauche auquel elle est suspendue par un ruban de soie. Les bénéficiers de ces chapitres la portent également, mais le chaperon est doublé à l'extérieur de soie grise, et en hiver de fourrure grise. Ils la portent sur un rochet sans manches.

L'Histoire relate l'existence de chapes fort lourdes, brodées de pierres et métaux précieux, offertes par des souverains pour s'attirer la bienveillance posthume et les prières renouvelées du clergé, notamment d'ordres religieux, et principalement des moines.

Spurring Energy Sector Transformation in Ethiopia
Ethiopia has committed to transforming its entire energy sector to provide access to adequate and reliable electricity to all.
ESMAP has spurred this transition through sector reviews, an investment prospectus and a geospatial plan that helped lay the groundwork for World Bank financing.
In parallel, ESMAP's Global Wind Atlas is helping to open the door to private sector companies to scale up renewable energy projects.
Ethiopia is on its way to transition to a middle-income country. Access to adequate and reliable electricity will play a crucial role in its journey.
While Ethiopia's main grid covers 80% of its population, only 30% of households have access to electricity, making Ethiopia the second highest access deficit country in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The government is committed to reaching universal energy access by 2025. Yet, the approach so far focused mostly on infrastructure development rather than service delivery. New investments are needed to support comprehensive strategies encompassing grid and off-grid solutions, private sector participation, and a push for using the country's vast renewable energy resources.
With support from the World Bank and ESMAP, the government of Ethiopia has launched a major reform of its energy sector to implement its vision of universal electrification.
In 2015, ESMAP funded the "Ethiopia Energy Sector Review and Strategy", a three-year study to provide solid sector diagnostics and identify actions for reform. Based on the study, the government developed the National Electrification Program (NEP), which was launched by Ethiopia's Prime Minister in November 2017.
The NEP sets forth a plan to scale up connections at a rate that has rarely been attempted in the region before. It includes a fast-paced grid connection program to increase connectivity nearly five-fold from today, to over 14 million households (or 65% of the population) by 2025. An off-grid access program – whose rollout is currently being developed with ESMAP's help – will target the remaining 5.7 million households in remote communities with individual home solar systems and mini grids to ensure that no one is left behind. Another priority will be to provide access to reliable electricity services for education and health facilities. As part of the NEP, ESMAP also supported an investment prospectus to guide investments in the sector.
The rollout of new connections will be based on the latest GIS (geographic information system) platform supported by ESMAP, that uses geospatial data to identify which technology would be best suited, based on location.
As the plan is rolled out equitably across the country, it will enhance quality of life of rural households and support economic growth. But providing modern energy services for over 10 million households within 8 years will not be an easy task. Financing requirements for the first five years of the NEP's implementation alone, is estimated at around US $1.5 billion.
The NEP underpinned the programmatic approach developed under the new World Bank project – the Ethiopia Electrification Program (ELEAP). With this project, the World Bank is leveraging nearly $700 million towards the NEP's targets, of which $375 million will be provided through IDA credits. This will directly finance electrification for over one million households.
Ethiopia is one of the few countries in the world whose grid is powered 100% by renewable energy-based generation, mostly from hydropower. To diversify supply, the government plans to promote alternative sources of renewable energy, such as solar and wind, by engaging the private sector. Opening the door to private sector participation in renewable energy projects will help bring in commercial capital and sustainable financing structures, increase technical know-how, and improve sector performance, while freeing up public resources.
To facilitate private sector engagement, the government utilized ESMAP's Global Wind Atlas to identify areas with high potential for resource development across the country. In collaboration with the government of Denmark, ESMAP is now financing wind measurements in 17 priority sites. The resulting high-quality wind resource assessments is expected to pave the way for the preparation of bankable wind energy projects, which will be supported under the second phase of the upcoming Renewable Energy Guarantees Project.
Finally, the government is putting in place institutional reforms focusing on gender equity and citizen engagement to strengthen the capacity of utilities to manage the massive scale-up of connections. In this context, ESMAP supported a gender analysis for the sector, which informed the design of the "Closing Gender Gaps Across the Ethiopia Energy Sector" initiative", a transformational approach promoted across a US$1.5 billion portfolio of World Bank energy projects in Ethiopia.
The World Bank and ESMAP support to Ethiopia follows the same long-term, comprehensive engagement in Kenya. You can read more about Kenya's experience here.

Q: Detect dirty rectangles in WPF/Direct3D surfaces? I am experimenting with a remote screen mechanism, where I am pushing updated screen caps to clients (browsers). I have successfully implemented Win32 hooks that posts updated rectangles to a manager (sniffing WM_PAINT and related messages).
However, WPF applicatons uses Direct3D surfaces, so listening for windows messages does not help much.
Is there a way to intercept these surfaces, and get dirty rectangles/regions (eg. when a control or other component is redrawn) ?

A: There seems to be no way of achieving this.
My solution in this case is to do frequent BitBlt(), and analyze the differences between current and previous pixel buffers. I then divide the screen into cells with fixed widths/heights, and keep track of changes for each cell.

Three seniors in the University of Maryland's College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences have been named 2017 Merrill Presidential Scholars. The Merrill Presidential Scholars Program honors the university's most successful seniors, who each recognize a UMD faculty member and high school teacher for contributing to their education.
Christopher Bambic, a physics and astronomy dual-degree student, honored Robert Ward of Saint Ignatius High School in Cleveland, Ohio, and Christopher Reynolds, professor of astronomy. "Professor Christopher Reynolds has been mentoring me in theoretical astrophysics research since the beginning of my sophomore year," Bambic said. "Through his mentorship, I've been given the tools to approach the most fascinating problems in astrophysics that first inspired me to study the subject."
William O'Connor, a biological sciences major (general biology specialization), honored Lindsay Mossa of Severna Park High School in Severna Park, Maryland, and Reid Compton, principal lecturer of biology and director of the College Park Scholars Life Sciences program. "[Dr. Compton] understands the challenges and excitement that college students feel, and he strives to promote the ideal learning environment for me and my classmates," O'Connor said. "[Dr. Compton's] guidance and support make him stand out among my other professors at Maryland, and I know I can always turn to him for advice now and in the future."
The Merrill Presidential Scholars Program honors the University of Maryland's most successful seniors and their designated faculty and K-12 teachers for their mentorship. The legacy of academic excellence, teaching and mentoring continues as scholarships are awarded in the K-12 teacher's name to a new first-year student from that teacher's high school or school district.
UMD President Wallace D. Loh welcomed Merrill Scholars, faculty members and teachers at a luncheon celebration on November 17, 2017, at University House.

It seems like there is a very personal level to what Agile Software Development means, as far as I can tell there is no consistent common understanding of what agility means. Some see it as a framework, others as a mindset.
For me it means two things.
We have agility in our planning. We expect and encourage our plan to change as we better understand what we are delivering.
We have agility in our operations. We expect and encourage our tools processes and methods to change as we discover better ways of doing things.
Agility in planning means making a plan: 'failure to plan' as they say is 'planning to fail', and that failure is probably more certain than than it was when we had an inflexible plan. There is a great deal of value in planning, we learn a lot and by setting a sense of direction we create focus.
The trick is that if we understand what we are planning and why we are planning, we can do it in the most efficient and effective way. We don't need a lot of planning or a lot of detail, planning doesn't need to be a massive overhead.
If we limit the granularity of our plan in relation to how far ahead we are planning then we allow for that plan to adapt as we get more information. We can get all the benefit of having a plan without the overhead and without being restricted if and when the plan needs to change.
I believe process is vital to success in business, whether we are building software or hiring or in a factory, even sales has a process. But a process must be flexible, we must be able to adapt when things change and we must be able to react to exceptions.
We mustn't ever get to a point where we declare this is the 'best' way of doing something or 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' As soon as we stop looking we prove ourselves right, if we only know one way to do something it is definitely the best that we know of. Our ignorance ensures that we are right. But if getting better is more important than being blissfully ignorant then we must look for ways to improve, we need to observe and we need to experiment. We should never let entropy set in, we should always be seeking to improve.
The very best processes build in opportunities for reflection and improvement, ensuring a mindset that there is always a better way, is far healthier than one of complacency.
One of my favourite 'processes' comes from the Theory of Constraints, it starts with the assumption that something can be improved and the first step is to identify the one area that would most benefit from improvement, it ends with a refusal to accept inertia.
For many Agile is about the framework, or the tools, for others it is the people and their ability to self-organise. I don't want to devalue those aspects but I see those as a means to achieve the agility in planning and process.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, what does Agile mean to you?
Next Post Isn't it obvious?

"Doubt is the key to knowledge" (Persian Proverb). To what extent is this true in two areas of knowledge?
piše alchymia | 25/04/2019 .
In the history of mankind, doubt inspired many great discoveries. Christopher Columbus, for example, had doubted contemporary beliefs that the Earth was flat and has therefore proved otherwise. Similarly, Nicolaus Copernicus had doubted geocentrism, and he formulated a heliocentric model, which was later proved to be correct by Galileo Galilei (although the calculations weren't completely correct). Both Columbus and Galilei were, in their pursuit of truth, led by doubt.
These examples illustrate that doubt truly is a powerful tool and an important factor which heavily influenced the advancement of humanity. It has frequently acted as the first step towards new discoveries, and it can also function as some sort of a trigger which stimulates people to act accordingly, depending on the nature of a thing which they are reconsidering. But what does exactly mean "to doubt?"
One of the definitions is: "To question or hold questionable"1. For instance, Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity began to develop after he had started to doubt, i.e. question Newtonian's Mechanics. He recognized the flaws in Newtonian's Mechanics, proposed its own theory, and then confirmed it experimentally. This is actually a typical example of Experimental Method2. If he hadn't doubt in Newtonian's Mechanics, it would be harder and less probable for him to analyze it further and find its weaknesses.
Likewise, numerous scientists in different branches of science e.g. Chemistry, Psychics, Biology, had used Experimental Method to test their hypothesis. Those may be different disciplines, but one of the things they have in common is that their theories are being proposed from the previous, already existing ones, usually by expanding them, rather than creating the new ones. In order for this to happen, one had to doubt a certain existing theory and propose a new, better one.
The natural sciences are, as already mentioned, built of theories which are experimentally proved to be correct, i.e. they fit into our perception of our surroundings and relationships between its elements. However, there are some theories which are more limited than the others and which do not work in all cases. That's why scientists always try to come up with the most general theory, which would work for the largest number of situations. That is another way, besides doubting, of the advancement of the natural sciences. An example of that would be The String Theory in Physics which tries to bring together two "limited" and mutually incompatible theories - quantum mechanics and the theory of general relativity.
Because of this, the so-called "expansion" of the natural sciences' theories, doubt is an essential feature in its progression. And in this case, expanding the contemporary scientific theories could be described as knowledge possession and implementation. Furthermore, taking into account that "Doubt is the key to knowledge" is a Persian proverb, it can be concluded that even ancient civilizations were aware of the importance of doubt in the quest for knowledge.
Hence, as for the natural sciences, this proverb is definitely accurate and doubt truly is a key to knowledge, because, without it, scientists would have neither motivation, nor reasons to further expand their area of knowledge, and there wouldn't be potential for the development of the natural sciences.
However, there is another Area of Knowledge which holds doubt in a complete opposition comparing to the natural sciences. That is religion. In contrast to the natural sciences, where doubt is regarded as a constructive and desirable figure, in religion, it is discarded and unwanted. In fact, Galileo Galilei mentioned at the very beginning, paid a high price for doubting in religious beliefs about geocentrism. It was only in 1992 when the Roman Catholic Church officially rehabilitated him3 and de facto admitted that they were wrong.
Instead of theories, which are present in The Natural sciences, religions have "dogmas". The definition of dogma is: "A formally stated and authoritatively settled doctrine; a definite, established, and authoritative tenet."4
Clergy asks for undisputed and undoubted acceptations of those dogmas as they are considered to be core values of religion and therefore they cannot be questioned.
Unlike the previous examples from The Natural sciences, Religion is founded around dogmas. Its system could be compared to the axioms from Euclidean geometry. Axioms, or "an established rule or principle or a self-evident truth"5 serve as a foundation for building large theories, such as Euclidean geometry, or even a religion. Just like Euclidean geometry is derived from the five axioms given by Euclid, religion is constructed around dogmas. In Christianity, for example, those dogmas are called "doctrine" and they are usually Bible quotes, such as "There is only one God" or "God is a Trinity"6. If axioms and dogmas are being considered, and their definitions are being compared, a large number of obvious similarities can be detected. Both are "established", and accepted as true, for example.
But there is one large difference. Axioms are logical and intuitively obvious, and we are able to recognize them with our own senses and use them in modeling our reality. Religious dogmas, on the other hand, can only be guessed upon because we are not able to reason them out. They are neither provable nor disprovable and that's why it could be said that Reason, as a Way of Knowing, is the subject of the biggest difference between the natural sciences and religion.
Therefore, for religion, the proverb "doubt is the key to knowledge" does not really stand because, as it is already mentioned, there is no doubt allowed. Moreover, if everything is constructed around dogmas, can we even talk about some type of knowledge?
Sometimes, when being criticized for an inability to prove some dogmas or other aspects of their religion, the worshippers give a counter-argument that those dogmas also cannot be proven wrong. This only leads to a conclusion - if something is not provable and at the same time it cannot be disprovable, what usage does it have?
Well, Certainly not a minor one. Religion has been responsible for both great and terrible things in history. It created powerful civilizations, connected people in the way in which no country or constitution could, but it also elicited a lot of wars with countless victims. The usage of religion is a tough thing to define since it has been exploited in a lot of ways. Nevertheless, one thing is certain. Doubt is definitely not a key to knowledge in it.
All things considered, Persian proverb "Doubt is the key to knowledge" is truthful in only one of two Areas of Knowledge discussed here. While it is indispensable for the existence and development of the natural sciences, it is also undesirable in religion, which prefers believing without a doubt.
The following quote from Alfred Korzybski suits excellent into this topic as it sums up both presented Areas of Knowledge: "There are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking."7
It is important, but also hardest, to find a balance between doubting and believing. In that way, a person should be able to draw the most from the information which he or she encounters. If a person slides extremely onto one side, he or she becomes narrow-minded and ignorant.

Kaiser Health News/Washington Post Examines How Language Barriers Affect Quality of Care for Immigrants
Kaiser Health News/Washington Post on Tuesday examined how language and cultural barriers can discourage immigrants from seeking care and might lead to "calamitous errors" in diagnoses and treatments. Some hospitals have adapted to communication challenges by installing phones to connect patients and staff to interpreters, hiring interpreters or training employees to learn languages, and recruiting bilingual staff.
However, some hospitals and physicians "are wary of the cost of interpretation services," which can be as much as $190 per hour, and say the government should provide funding for interpreters. A 45-year-old federal civil rights law requires hospitals and physicians who accept federal funds to provide language services. The federal government provides some interpreter funding to states through Medicaid and CHIP, but states must use their own funds to draw down federal matching funds for the programs. George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates CEO Stephen Badger said his organization has no full-time staff interpreters. He said, "The cost of interpreters is expensive and usually is greater than the payment we receive (from Medicaid) for the health care actually provided."
Sonia Mora, manager of the Latino Health Initiative at the Montgomery County, Md., Department of Health and Human Services, said that she has seen language services improve over the last five years. Mora said, "Now we're starting to see that it's going to save us money, because people are going to be healthier." However, she said that the need for translation services remains and that providers who have the ability to offer such services carry a large burden (Barclay, Kaiser Health News/Washington Post , 4/21).

Government axes support for Green Deal!
The Government has announced that it will offer no further financial support to the Green Deal Finance Company (GDFC), citing lack of interest and concerns over industry standards as reasons for the decision.
The Government's withdrawal of funds will have no impact on existing Green Deal Finance Plans or existing Green Deal Home Improvement Fund applications and vouchers.
The 'Green Deal' rolled out in 2013 as an initiative designed to help business and home owners employ more green technologies in and on their properties. Applicants were granted loans that would be paid back through energy bills over a period of time. The scheme also offered cash-backs and incentives on things such as double-glazing, insulation and boilers.
For both home owners and businesses, the building would effectively be responsible for the costs of all the improvements and these costs would be repaid through the energy bill related to the property. Upon the sale of the property in question, the new owner would take over the energy bills pertaining to the previous owner's Green Deal loan.
There were no upfront costs for the applicant to incur at the outset. The only cost would have been the assessment, which might be waived or enveloped by the provider depending on the deal struck between the provider and the business (or home owner) applying.
The golden rule of the Green Deal was that the expected financial savings must be equal to or greater than the costs attached to the energy bill. And yet the plug failed to engage.
If you missed out on the Green Deal and are thanking your lucky stars but inadvertently lamenting the loss of the opportunity to eco-up your business and save money in the long term, perhaps this was just a learning curve and the best policy is yet to come. Here's hoping.
