Hebron is the first Hebrew settlement in history, established four millennia ago. It is where the patriarch Abraham purchased land and where there has been a more-or-less continuous Jewish presence until 1929 when an Arab massacre took the lives of 67 Jews, one third of whom were Yeshiva students. David Ben Gurion, who opposed an Israeli presence in the West Bank after the Six Days War, believed nonetheless that Hebron merited settlement. This is, after all, where the Jewish covenant began.
I've written about the Jews of Hebron proper, of whom there may be nearly 1,000, living in three neighborhoods next to the town center where still standing are synagogues and schools from the past, as well as the Tombs of the Matriarchs and Patriarchs of Israel. I did not much like these pious settler folk, nasty to the Israeli soldiers who were protecting them and also provocative to the 130,000 indigenous Arabs, themselves quite hostile to the Israelis. But there is an abutting town, Kiryat Arba, with a population of some 8,000, less hostile but insistent on their rights around Hebron.
There are no serious peace talks being carried on between Israel and the Palestinians. But the heads of two local Arab clans, one of whose relatives, then the mayor of Hebron, I visited with on a trip in 1970, met last Wednesday with representatives of Kiryat Arba and the Jewish neighborhoods in the city, including the one known as Avraham Avinu (Father Abraham). According to Ha'aretz, Sheikh Abu-Hader Ja'abri, the mayor's descendant, said to the Jews, "We don't see you as settlers but as residents ... Hebron is ours just as it is yours."
So what was the Palestinian reaction to the visit? Fatah's military wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, released a leaflet calling for Ja'abri's assassination.

Visioning Edges in Cities, and the Spaces Beyond
In an inspirational essay about the undeveloped boundaries of the public domain (such as street-ends), Chuck Wolfe urges innovation in city spaces where we "blend the familiar with the edge of the unknown."
April 9, 2015, 5am PDT | Charles R. Wolfe | @crwolfelaw
Jumping some 2000 years from the Roman finibus terrae—the edge of the known extent of the land in southeast Italy—to a hillside street-end in today's Seattle, Wolfe examines the way we think about "the end of the road." He argues that urban termini have always presented the humans with opportunities to shape ideas for change and transition.
A street-end, he, notes, may feature preservation of viewpoints, improvements such as public gardens, or enhanced safety measures (e.g., landscaping, lighting or fencing from danger). He describes city, neighbor and nonprofit efforts to improve shoreline street-ends and viewpoints where public rights-of-way come to rest.
He describes one example:
Old and new ideas meet here, along with examples of city life. Here we see safety enhancements -- signage and a railing -- complemented by graffiti, and a custom lost and found for a knit hat left behind. Today's urbanist may also see a future gondola station, a walkable destination, or the potential for sustaining natural pockets amid the built environment. But what compels such vision?
In response, Wolfe suggests that, as with the finibus terrae, "such edges, and views, will always inspire us to create tangible and useful meanings for the spaces beyond."

A dinner meeting was held on Wednesday, 6/26/2013 at Scottsdale Shea beginning at 6:30 PM. There were 16 in attendance representing the pulmonary, critical care, sleep, and radiology communities.
Rick Robbins, editor of the Southwest Journal of Pulmonary and Critical Care, announced that the journal had begun using digital object identifiers (DOI) through the CrossRef service. In addition, the content of the journal will be stored in the CLOCKSS Archive.
The Mayo Clinic in Rochester has asked to partner with the Southwest Journal of Pulmonary and Critical Care. The Arizona Thoracic Society endorsed this association.
Rick Robbins is stepping down as the Arizona representative to the Council of Chapter (CCR) Representatives. Dr. George Parides was unanimously elected CCR representative.
Dr. Lewis Wesselius presented the case of an 80 year old Asian man with a history of the recent onset of cough, weight loss, headache and an abnormal chest x-ray. He was a nonsmoker. Physical exam revealed a thin man but was otherwise unremarkable. Laboratory showed only an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. CBC was normal. Chest x-ray showed increased right perihilar densities and a small right pleural effusion. CT scan showed areas of dense consolidation in the right upper and middle lobes. Bronchoscopy was performed. No bronchial abnormality was noted. However, the cultures grew Crytococcus. Lumbar puncture showed elevated protein, slightly low glucose and slightly increased lymphocytes. A CD4 count was performed and was low at 150 cells/mm3. HIV was negative.
It was felt he had idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia which is a severe CD4 T-cell depletion resulting in a predisposition to opportunistic infections (1). The epidemiologic data do not suggest that the condition is caused by a transmissible agent. Unlike HIV infection, the decrease in the CD4 cell counts is often slow. The clinical spectrum ranges from an asymptomatic laboratory abnormality to life-threatening opportunistic infections. There cause is unknown and there is no proven treatment.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at about 8 PM. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 24, 6:30 PM in Tucson at the Kiewit Auditorium on the University of Arizona campus.

The April 2012 Arizona Thoracic Society meeting was held on 4/17/2012 at Scottsdale Shea beginning at 6:30 PM. There were 19 in attendance representing the pulmonary, critical care, sleep, infectious disease, radiology, and nursing communities.
Discussions were held regarding moving the meeting to another day of the week to allow the Mayo pathologists to attend. It was decided to try and move the meeting to the third Wednesday of every month, pending availability of a meeting room at Shea.
Because this is an election year and members of Congress made themselves available, it was thought it might be reasonable to invite members of Arizona's Congressional delegation to an Arizona Thoracic Society meeting in order to discuss issues important to the medical community.
Three cases were presented:
Dr. Timothy Kuberski, who has recently been named chief of infectious disease at Maricopa Medical Center, presented a case of a 52 year old Native American male who complained of cough. He was taking lisinopril for hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Chest x-ray showed multiple small pulmonary nodules. IgM was positive for coccidioidomycosis but IgG and urinary antigen for coccidioidomycosis were negative. HIV was negative. He complained of headache and CT scan revealed hydrocephalus. Because it was unclear if he had coccidioidomycosis or tuberculosis he was treated for both. Eventually he was shown to have tuberculous meningitis. He is now on 5 drugs for tuberculosis including INH, rifampin, PZA, streptomycin and Levaquin. A comment was made that miliary patterns in coccidioidomycosis appeared to only occur in immunocompromised hosts. No one could recall seeing one that was not.
Allen Thomas from the Phoenix VA presented a case of a 61 year old with increasing dyspnea, cough, occasional blood-streaked sputum, night sweats and 30 lb weight loss. He had a history of dipolar disease, diabetes and had recently been evaluated for an abdominal mass that was not identified. Dry crackles were noted on lung exam. Chest x-ray was remarkably similar to the previous presentation with multiple small nodules noted which were new compared to a chest x-ray 2 years previously. He had an elevated WBC with a left shift. Sputum cultures, coccidioidomycosis serology, and a tuberculosis skin test were all negative. Bronchoscopy with BAL and transbronchial biopsies was all nondiagnostic. For this reason a VATS was performed. Cultures and special stains for organisms were all negative. The biopsy slides were sent to the Mayo group and they diagnosed cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP). Dr. Thomas presented literature that a miliary pattern in COP had rarely been reported. The patient was improved on oral corticosteroids.
Rick Robbins, retired pulmonologist, presented a case of a 31 yo previously health woman who presented with nonproductive cough, dyspnea, fever and arthralgias over 3 weeks. She had been empirically treated with a course of Levaquin and a course of Biaxin without improvement. She presented to the ER with increasing dyspnea and was found to have a markedly elevated WBC of 49,000 and a platelet count of over 1 million. Her only medication was valproic acid for prevention of migraine headaches. Physical exam revealed a moderately dyspneic woman despite a non-rebreathing mask. Diffuse crackles were heard on auscultation of the lungs. Bronchoscopy with BAL and cultures was negative as were HIV, coccidioidomycosis, Legionella, and Mycoplasma titers. ANA, RF, histoplasma urinary antigen, and blood cultures were also negative. She was transferred to the ICU and required endotracheal intubation. Because her diagnosis was unclear, a VATS was performed which revealed acute inflammation with eosinophils. She was begun on steroids and rapidly improved. She eventually admitted to smoking crack cocaine just prior to her hospital admission. It was noted that the course and presentation of acute eosinophilic pneumonia was variable and has been associated with use of crack cocaine. It was mentioned that a case of acute eosinophilic pneumonia had appeared as the April 2012 Imaging Case of the Month.
There being no further cases, the meeting was adjourned at 8:00 PM. The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for May 15 but may be moved to a Wednesday.

I've been taking some free music production and sound design classes on Coursera (www.coursera.com) which I strongly recommend and have helped me tremendously! Have a long way to go in terms of learning better arranging, how to conceptualize a song from start to finish, sound design, mastering, etc.. This 'song' is just another experimental step on the road to becoming a better producer.
Thanks for listening and commenting! :) That's a tough thing for me. I am still learning how to conceptualize a song before trying to produce it... right now my newbie workflow is to just build things that sound alright to me as they come, but I'm finding that I end up with exactly what you described: sort of a hodgepodge of ideas that doesn't really tie together the way it should in a cohesive track. Definitely going to try to focus more on the concept and arrangement in the future to try and improve on that front. Any tips would be more than welcome if you've ever had any similar issues.
Thank you! Very much appreciate your time and feedback.
I agree with Vic on several points.
You surely know how to mix but the total scheme of the song could be improved. I'm an oldschool songwriter, and I think in terms of verse, chorus, bridge , etc. And let's not forget: melody. A lot of electronic music is too repetitive for me, I miss structure, or a change in key or a counterpoint.
Clean, soothing. Like putting your ear canal through a car wash. You also separate each musical idea nicely and give each voice its space.
I like how the mix is full but not overwhelming and the balance favors melody/chords over the beat, which works really well here. And given that this thankfully is no 'dance' track, I don't mind the pause in the middle, before you merge into a different version of the same track, even if the silence could be a little less pronounced. Enjoyed it!
the energy. You are doing great. Thanks.


You can find Patatas Bravas (where brave stands in for fiery) all over Spain, although we'd say the two main cities where they are traditional are Madrid and Barcelona. But they are different: whereas in Madrid they serve them with a red hot sauce, in Barcelona they usually accompany them with hot red sauce and mayonnaise. Personally we think mayonnaise has no place near patatas bravas, but then again it's a matter of custom and taste.
You can make the red sauce in two different ways: with or without tomato. Today's recipe is with tomato, but we'll post the pimentón-based sauce too.
What should be common to all bravas is the way the potatoes are cooked. They aren't just fried, they have an extra crispy and airy consistency which is usually achieved by double-frying them. First they're fried in a medium-hot olive oil and then they're fried again in hot oil. This way we get a soft interior and an extra crispy outside layer.
The original bravas at A Maceta (Santiago) – fantastic!
In Santiago we used to love A Maceta's bravas, although we find the sauce is different every time and the potatoes are often a bit hard on the inside. Galicia wouldn't be the best place to get some decent bravas – be aware, usually what you'll get is some fried potatoes with a hot ketchup. I'd rather ask for something else!
In a saucepan heat up the olive oil and sautée the garlic. Add the chile and let sizzle a few seconds. Add the crushed tomatoes together with the bay leaf, thyme and oregano, and let bubble away for about 20 minutes, until the sauce isn't watery anymore. Put aside.
In a medium frying pan sautée the chopped onion 20 minutes, or until tender and caramelized. Add the wine, bring to the boil and add the tomato sauce. Add the sugar and the pimentón, and adjust the salt and the pepper. Cook 5 minutes more, adding a little water if it gets too thick.
You can leave it a little chunky or make it smooth with a sieve or a blender.
For the potatoes: cook the potatoes in abundant hot olive oil (as in a potato tortilla, except the potatoes are cut in a different way) until tender. Set aside.
Raise the heat of the olive oil and fry the potatoes until golden and crunchy.
Serve the potatoes with the sauce on top or on the side.
Bravas with a white sauce: we highly disagree.
Bravas with red AND white sauce: why?
truth be told the use of mayo is spreading across Madrid as well. They can be found in every other place named as 'braviolis'. Sigh, that kind of name compound of 'bravas' and 'all i oli'.


I absolutely adore Kani Salad! This juicy Japanese salad is prepared with only a few vegetables & delicious crab meat. It tastes great and it's super easy to prepare Kani salad from scratch at home.
Now take the crab claws and using a sharp knife crack the shell and remove all of the crab meat from the claws using a crab pick. Make sure that any thin pieces of bone concealed within the meat are removed. Continue by removing the white crab meat from the crab legs using the same process.

Kansuke Yamato (大和 敢助 ,Yamato Kansuke?) is a police inspector from Nagano Prefecture. His direct subordinate is Detective Yui Uehara. Yamato lost his left eye in a snow avalanche and now has an X-shaped scar in its place. This same avalanche caused severe and permanent damage to his left leg, forcing him to use a forearm crutch to walk around.
Yamato grew up in a small Nagano village with Yui Uehara. Like most people from the village, he greatly admired police officer and town hero Kuroto Kai, who inspired him and Uehara to join the police. One year before the Furinkazan Case, Yamato chased a parole jumper he believed to be involved with Kai's mysterious death into a mountain, where he got caught in the avalanche that took his left eye and leg. He was missing and believed dead for several days until school friend Taka'aki "Komei" Morofushi, also a police inspector, went against orders to track down the criminal and find Yamato. After recovering, he returned to the force and resumed working on solving Kai's death. With the aid of Conan Edogawa and Heiji Hattori the case was finally resolved, and soon afterwards Uehara rejoined the police force as his partner.
In contrast to other police inspectors like Megure, Sango Yokomizo, and Yamamura, Yamato is shown to be very serious and hard-boiled. He is often short-tempered and has been known to yell at and intimidate suspects. This aspect of his personality causes him to become quite visibly annoyed with Kogoro's ignorance and Yamamura's goofiness. Still, he does have softer spots, though he does not show them often, and there are hints that he is both aware and accepting of Uehara's affection towards him.
Yamato does have a petty rivalry with fellow police detective Koumei, often competing with him to see who can solve a case first. Despite this, they remain very close friends, and Yamato was even willing to run into a burning mansion to save him at one point. Yamato is also aware of Conan's intelligence and is one of few characters who treats him like an adult and equal.
Kansuke Yamato cares very deeply for his subordinate and childhood friend Yui Uehara. He was upset over her leaving the force and tried to distance himself from her, but had no problem allowing her back on the force. Uehara in return cares for him and even seems to have feeling for him, affectionatley referring to him as Kan-chan, which he always scolds her for doing.
The two are childhood friends who went to the same primary and high school as each other. Both have also become inspectors of a police headquarters. In the past, when Yamato was thought to be dead, Morofushi went against his boss' orders and went to look for him. Afterwards, Yamato was found and in the hospital while Morofushi himself got put down into the local police headquarters. This is to show even if Morofushi loses his position in the main headquarters, he will definite be willing to go and save his friend. Even now, they still remain as best friends and even compete with each other to see who can solve cases first. Yamato also on the other hand will go and help his friend out. This is shown by how he would go into a burning mansion to save him. Their friendship and rivalry can be considered similar to that of Heiji and Shinichi's, with Heiji being hot-tempered impatient Yamato and Shinichi being well-mannered calm Morofushi.
Yamato's name comes from Yamamoto Kansuke (山本勘助 ?), the strategist of Takeda Shingen, the famous daimyo who used "Fūrinkazan" as his battle slogan. This is even pointed out by Conan during the Red Wall Case.
Still in the Police Academy, with his eye unharmed (episode 756).

The NFL returned last night to primetime, and Tom Brady attracted the masses. The defending Super Bowl champion Patriots, led by their star quarterback, defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 28-21 in the NFL season opener. The telecast attracted 27.4 million total viewers and a 10.3 rating in the all-important 18-49 demographic.
The 2014 season opener, featuring Seattle and Green Bay, pulled the same 18-49 rating (10.3), but fewer total viewers (27.1 million).
Elsewhere in the broadcast universe - Big Brother was the night's top-rated entertainment program, grabbing a 2.0 P18-49 rating that's steady with the previous Thursday night installment.
The series finale of Under The Dome hauled in 4.2 million total Live+SD viewers, up a half million in total viewers from the series' penultimate episode.
The primetime Spanish language telenovelas exceeded a 1 rating in the demo, as they seemingly always do!
MTV's Teen Mom (1.0) was the highest-rated cable program of the night among the 18-49 set, and the return of Lifetime's Project Runway was the #1 cable program of the night among viewers 25-54 (.9).
The O'Reilly Factor was primetime cable's most-watched program yet again, averaging a steady 3.1 million viewers in total.

Research communities share experiences at FIM4R's 13th Workshop
February 26, 2019 March 19, 2019 Laura Durnford
Research communities participating in AARC pilots presented their work to the FIM4R (Federated Identity Management for Research) community at a workshop on 11 February. FIM4R and AARC have a close relationship, with many participants in common.
AARC has proved a useful forum for research communities and e-infrastructures to make contact and address the increasing need for federated access to their online services and resources. They could also 'safely' try out specific authentication and authorisation infrastructure (AAI) solutions for their infrastructures.
All of the solutions that have been tried in AARC use the AARC blueprint architecture (BPA) and could provide useful shortcuts to future research communities. The first half of the FIM4R meeting was taken up with presentations of AARC pilots, as many of the meeting participants had not taken part in AARC.
"These communities can also benefit from the AARC results, so it was a great opportunity for research communities to learn from others what an actual implementation trajectory of the AARC BPA would look like, how to approach this and what which possible hurdles one would encounter." Arnout Terpstra of SURFnet, leader of the AARC pilots work.
Diverse communities and solutions
Representatives from the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid, LIGO, LifeWatch, DARIAH and EGI, and EISCAT 3D showed their initial challenges, how authentication and authorisation infrastructure (AAI) could benefit them, how AARC helped them and the solutions they piloted, based on the AARC blueprint architecture and AARC policy guidelines.
As an example of the challenges, David Hübner of DAASI International describes his AARC work on behalf of DARIAH:
"We basically invented our own infrastructure, which worked for us but then we faced some scaling issues. There were more and more services in the DARIAH community that all needed to connect to the various Identity Providers in the federations and we had no possibility to centrally manage policy issues, for example. With the AARC blueprint architecture you have a central component, the proxy, which makes it very easy for the service operators in the community to connect to the AAI, so that's one of the things we wanted to achieve. The second point was interoperability with other communities and infrastructures." David Hübner, DAASI International
At FIM4R, David presented the solution that allows interoperability between DARIAH and EGI, so their researchers can access a wider range of resources, tools and data.
AARC is documenting the pilots work in case studies detailing the initial requirements, relevant policies and training materials as well as the technical solutions. These will be found on the 'AARC in action' webpage alongside other useful materials.
The second half of the FIM4R workshop covered developments in the REFEDS (Research and Education Federations) Assurance Framework as well as in its Sirtfi working group, and in WISE (Wise Information Security for Collaborating e-Infrastructures) which is now taking forward the AARC policy development, especially a new baseline AUP (Acceptable Use Policy).
Discussion arose about Keycloak, which one of the communities participating at the FIM4R event is using as its proxy and role-management system. It was reported that Keycloak appears not to work well with eduGAIN as it cannot handle dynamic metadata, but a script has been devised to circumvent this issue. Another challenge could be the need to pay for a support contract if running Keycloak in high-availability mode. Further investigation of this topic may prove a useful addition to future meeting agendas.
The workshop participants also heard about three important activities in the USA, namely updates on: InCommon's Baseline Expectations program; Trusted CI's approach to supporting security for open science projects; and on work in 2018 by the Internet2 CACTI (Community Architecture Committee for Trust and Identity) on a gap analysis following the publication of the FIM4R version 2.0 white paper.
FIM4R for communities
The workshop ended with a discussion of possible steps in 2019-20 to track the solutions and improvements aimed at addressing the 9 recommendations and 40 requirements that were expressed in the FIM4R version 2.0 white paper. These discussions were continued later in the week in a session during the TIIME 2019 conference, where it was agreed that the FIM4R community should initiate a survey of the stakeholders to whom the 9 recommendations were aimed. This should be launched soon after REFEDS meets at the TNC19 conference on Sunday 16 June, and the answers will be analysed in the form of a short status report (a version 2.1 paper) early in 2020.
With AARC coming to the end of its life at the end of April, FIM4R will continue to be a key place for research communities to go to for information and expert support, says Hannah Short of CERN and the WLCG AARC pilot.
"Even after AARC has stopped, it's somewhere where the same people will be able to keep sharing best practices." Hannah Short, CERN
Around 40 people participated in the 13th meeting of FIM4R, which was held in Vienna in conjunction with TIIME (Trust and Internet Identity Meeting in Europe). The FIM4R agenda and slides are available and the FIM4R website has more information about the group and its activities. You can also view the FIM4R White paper.

Q: mp4 play on Google TV emulator, but won't play on Google TV device I use the following code to play mp4 video:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(url, "video/mp4");
ctx.startActivity(i);

It works fine on phones & tablets, as well as Google TV emulator, but throws ActivityNotFoundException on Google TV device.
Any thoughts?

A: When I tried to play an MP4 video using the above code snippet ,I am getting "No application can handle this action" message. Looks like there is no default application which can play the video. ActivityNotFoundException occur normally when you give the wrong media type.

Q: How do I create a link to a footnote in HTML? For example:

This is main body of my content. I have a
  footnote link for this line [1]. Then, I have some more
  content. Some of it is interesting and it
  has some footnotes as well [2].
[1] Here is my first footnote.
[2] Another footnote.

So, if I click on the "[1]" link it directs the web page to the first footnote reference and so on. How exactly do I accomplish this in HTML?

A: Give a container an id, then use # to refer to that Id.
e.g.

This is main body of my content. I have a footnote link for this line [1]. Then, I have some more content. Some of it is interesting and it has some footnotes as well [2].

[1] Here is my first footnote.

[2] Another footnote.

A: First you go in and put an anchor tag with a name attribute in front of each footnote.
 Footnote 1

blah blah about stuff

This anchor tag will not be a link.  It will just be a named section of the page.  Then you make the footnote marker a tag that refers to that named section.  To refer to a named section of a page you use the # sign.

So you can see that the candidate lied
 [1]
 in his opening address

If you want to link into that section from another page, you can do that too.  Just link the page and tack the section name onto it.

For more on that, see
 footnote 1 from my paper
 , and you will be amazed.

A: It's good practice to provide a link back from the footnote to where it is referenced (assuming there's a 1:1 relationship). This is useful because the back button will take the user back to scroll position they were at previously, leaving the reader to find their place in the text. Clicking on a link back to where the footnote was referenced in the text puts that text at the top of the window, making it very easy for the reader to pick up where they left off .
Quirksmode has a page on footnotes on the web (although it suggests you use sidenotes instead of footnotes I think that footnotes are more accessible, with a link to the footnote and the footnote followed by a link back to the text I suspect they would be easier to follow with a screen reader).
One of the links from the quirksmode page suggests having an arrow, ↩, after the text of the footnote linking back, and to use entity ↩ for this.
e.g.:
This is main body of my content.
I have a footnote link for this line
[1].
Then, I have some more content.
Some of it is interesting and it has some footnotes as well
[2].

   1. Here is my first footnote. ↩

   2. Another footnote. ↩

I'm not sure how screen readers would handle the entity though. Linked to from the comments of Grubber's post is Bob Eastern's post on the accessibility of footnotes which suggests it isn't read, although that was a number of years ago and I'd hope screen readers would have improved by now. For accessibility it might be worth using a text anchor such as "return to text" or perhaps putting it in the title attribute of the link. It may also be worth putting one on the original footnote although I don't know how screen readers would handle that.
This is main body of my content.
I have a footnote link for this line
[1].
Then, I have some more content.
Some of it is interesting and it has some footnotes as well
[2].

   1. Here is my first footnote.
      ↩

   2. Another footnote.
      ↩

(I'm only guessing on the accessibility issues here, but since it wasn't raised in any of the articles I mentioned I thought it was worth bringing up. If anyone can speak with more authority on the issue I'd be interested to hear.)

A: You will need to setup anchor tags for all of your footnotes. Prefixing them with something like this should do it:
    [ 1 ]
Then in the body of your page, link to the footnote like this:
    [ 1 ]
(note the use of the name vs the href attributes)
Essentially, any time you set a name of an A tag, you can then access it by linking to #NAME-USED-IN-TAG.

http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_links.asp has more information.

A: For your case, you're probably best off doing this with a-href tags and a-name tags in your links and footers, respectively.
In the general case of scrolling to a DOM element, there is a jQuery plugin. But if performance is an issue, I would suggest doing it manually. This involves two steps:

*

*Finding the position of the element you are scrolling to.

*Scrolling to that position.

quirksmode gives a good explanation of the mechanism behind the former. Here's my preferred solution:
function absoluteOffset(elem) {
    return elem.offsetParent && elem.offsetTop + absoluteOffset(elem.offsetParent);
}

It uses casting from null to 0, which isn't proper etiquette in some circles, but I like it :) The second part uses window.scroll. So the rest of the solution is:
function scrollToElement(elem) {
    window.scroll(absoluteOffset(elem));
}

Voila!

A: The answer of Peter Boughton is good, but it could be better if instead of declaring the footnote as "p" (paragraph), you declared as "li" (list-item) inside a "ol" (ordered-list):
This is main body of my content. I have a footnote link for this line [1]. Then, I have some more content. Some of it is interesting and it has some footnotes as well [2].

References

Here is my first footnote.

Another footnote.

This way, it's not needed to write the number on top, and below... as long as the references are listed on the right order below.

A: anchor tags using named anchors
http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_links.asp

A: Use bookmarks in anchor tags...
    This is main body of my content. I have a footnote link for this
line [1]. Then, I have some more content.
Some of it is interesting and it has some footnotes as well
[2].

[1] Here is my first footnote.

[2] Another footnote.

A: This is main body of my content. I have a footnote link for this line [1]. Then, I have some more content. Some of it is interesting and it has some footnotes as well [2].
[1] Here is my first footnote.
[2] Another footnote.

Do  text
and then at the footnote:  text
All without spaces.  Reference: http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_links.asp

A: Footnote
bla bla
go to footnote.

Matt Hicks is the new CEO of Red Hat, Pail Cormier led the open source company for just two years.
With Matt Hicks, the Red Hat headed by a new CEO and President. He replaces Paul Cormier, who has headed the IBM subsidiary since 2020. However, the latter remains with the open source provider as CEO. Red Hat does not give a reason for the remarkably rapid change in its top managers.
Hicks has been with Red Hat since 2006 and most recently held the position of vice president for products and technologies. Before joining the company's management team, he started his career as a developer. He is jointly responsible for OpenShift and later the provider's hybrid cloud strategy, as the announcement of the change underlines.
In his first message as CEO to the more than 20,000 employees, Hicks emphasizes two aspects of his future management in particular : Open Source is best suited to solve the problems in IT and the world in general. And employees should be able to discuss ideas openly and with respect – even if everyone doesn't always agree.
Red Hat's longtime CEO Jim Whitehurst joined Big Blue's management team after it was acquired by IBM. The open source company has belonged to IBM since mid-2019, which cost the group $34 billion. With Lennart Poettering, Red Hat also lost a key Linux figure this year, he switched to Microsoft.

Q&A: MD Student Sahar Soleimanifard Looks Back At The Fellowship
FFThe Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans provides two years of funding for outstanding graduate students who are immigrants and children of immigrants. After two years the Fellows join a lifelong community of past Fellows. We asked Sahar Soleimanifard, a 2015 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow, to look back at the first two years of the Fellowship and what they have meant to her.
Sahar was born in Iran amidst the Persian Gulf War and in the aftermath of a revolution that left the country in a decades-long battle between all sociopolitical groups. Growing up in a society with rigid gender roles, Sahar developed a steely determination to live a purposeful life and make a lasting impact. She graduated from Sharif University, the top engineering school in Iran, where she became interested in biomedical imaging. At the age of twenty-three, she moved to the United States to start her PhD at Johns Hopkins University, which she has since completed. The Fellowship supported her studies towards an MD at Johns Hopkins University.
Why did you apply to The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans?
I learned about PD Soros Fellowship in an email from the financial aid office at my school. I immediately googled PD Soros and started reading about former fellows. I was amazed by their immigration stories, backgrounds, achievements, and future goals. I was hooked! I thought to myself, wow, it would be a dream come true to meet and learn from such a talented group of people. I believe the deadline was coming up in two weeks, so I made an appointment with my adviser the same day and started working on my application right away.
You're now finishing up the second year of the program. Has the Fellowship been what you expected?
The fellowship has gone way above and beyond my expectations. I feel that I am part of a large family, spread across the country, who have been going to New York for the past two years to visit their parents! I feel exceptionally close to my Paul & Daisy Soros 2015 Fellows in great part because of the time we spent together during the Fall Conferences. I think I know more about them in some ways than some of their family and friends. I am certain the feeling is mutual.
I must add, the Fellowship office is always available, returning emails and calls within minutes, and ready to answer questions and help in any way they can, even in situations unrelated to the Fellowship.
What have the primary benefits of The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship been for you?
I received the PD Soros Fellowship during my second and third year of medical school. In addition to the financial support, the fellowship provided me with plenty of opportunities to meet and connect with a large group of talented and inspiring individuals in medicine, science, technology, business, and beyond, which will certainly be an invaluable asset, as I move along in my professional career.
Do you have any favorite memories from your Fellowship experience?
My favorite memories are from the "what's not on your resume" session at the first Fall Conference when the Fellows share very personal stories, happy and sad, about their upbringings and how immigration shaped their lives or those of their parents.
What advice would you give to someone who is thinking of applying?
My advice to future applicants would be to be honest with yourself and the committee, to have clear personal and professional goals, to be ready to talk about your past, and to have fun during the interview process.
Where are you with your graduate program now? What's next?
I am finishing my third year of medical school this summer, and will be applying for radiology residency in September.
How do you plan to stay active with the Fellowship community in the years to come?
I plan to attend as many PD Soros events as possible and will be honored to connect with or mentor future Fellows. I am always available to talk via email, phone, Facebook, etc. If you happen to be in Baltimore and want to hang out, let me know!

Not a whole lot to write about this week.
I am working on three separate projects that are still too early along to talk about, but they really are taking up most of y time. Oe thing I can say is that I will be photographing three great bands in a single afternoon.
I will be in Washington to photograph the Doobie Brother, The Allman Brothers and the Dead in may. It will be a quick trip in and out of washington but I am really looking forward to a night of shooting at the Gorge.

The need for small and medium scale enterprises to utilize information and communication technology (ICT) applications to boost their business necessitated this study which bordered on assessing the extent of utilization of e-marketing applications by small and medium enterprises in South Eastern States of Nigeria. Two research questions guided the study. Two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study consisted of 1,846 SMEs (owners/managers) in the area. Stratified random sampling technique was used for the study. A sample of 1,473 SMEs managers were randomly selected using stratified random sampling. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. Z-test was used to test the null hypotheses. Finding of the study indicated that SMES in South Eastern Nigeria utilize e-commerce and e-invoicing marketing applications in their operations to a low extent. The results also showed that there was a significant difference in the mean ratings of SMEs managers on the extent they utilize e-commerce and e-invoicing marketing applications in their business operations based on years of experience. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that SMEs owners/managers should be trained by business schools and business consultancy firms on how to use e-marketing applications. The importance of e-marketing should be clearly spelt out for them so that they can acquire the skills to fully integrate into their business operations.

an image of The Time is now! with a work by Giacomo Balla and a painting by Silvia Idili.
Glenda Cinquegrana Art Consulting is pleased to announce Time is now! a group show putting in dialogue artists from the past to contemporaries. The show is triggered by a deep reflection on the meaning of time: this concept, creating a multiple layer's interpretations of the single artworks, helps us into a deeper understanding of historical and contemporary movements.
The exhibition presents some historical and valuable editions by artists such as Alberto Biasi, Giacomo Balla, Gianfranco Baruchello, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Gastone Novelli, Ugo La Pietra, Mimmo Rotella, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Luigi Veronesi put in dialogue with some contemporaries such as Francesco De Molfetta, Leonardo Gambini, Debora Hirsch, Silvia Idili and Claudia Marini. The crossed-interpretation makes every work essential to the understanding of the other.
Finding its origin in the Sixties pop culture, the use of ready-made can be found in a work by Francesco De Molfetta such as in a dècollage by Mimmo Rotella. Atmospheres from the Twenties of the last century are echoing in the paintings by Silvia Idili and also in those by Giacomo Balla: although the geometric elements in his works have a different origin, the similarities between the two are clear. Minimalism based on optical effects of light produced by contemporary and evanescent materials in works by Leonardo Gambini is simpler to understand if put alongside with an edition by Luigi Veronesi, the pioneer of optical-kinetic experimentation.

Bartisch, George (1535-1606).
Opthalmodouleia, das ist Augendienst. Newer and wolgegrundter Bericht von Ursachen und Erkentnus aller Gebrechen, Schaden und Mangel der Augen und des Gesichtes.
Dresden, M. Stockel, 1583.
Although Bartisch gave his text on eye care a Greek title, he published the balance in German, thereby providing one of the earliest surgical works printed in the vernacular. Bartisch limited his practice to eye surgery and hernia repair, and Ophthalmoduleia is the first extensively illustrated account of any surgical specialty. Bartisch, who served as court oculist to Duke August I of Saxony, was known for his skilful operations on cataracts using a clean needle to depress the lens through the sclera. He was the first eye-doctor to recommend removal of the eye in cases of cancer.
The striking woodcut illustrations, made after Bartisch's own drawings from life, provide a comprehensive pictorial record of Renaissance eye surgery. The innovative and effective use of movable flaps to show sectional views of the brain and eye on pages A5r and B2v appears here for the first time.
Bartisch, known as the "Father of Modern Opthalmology," a simple genius, was a peripatetic practitioner who became the court oculist in Dresden. The illustrations in this work form a complete picture book of Renaissance eye surgery. The general anatomical woodcuts are made after Vesalius, while the woodcuts representing the anatomy of the eye, the instruments, and the operations, are made by Bartisch. He is said to have been the first to describe excision of the eye in living man, and it is of interest that he devoted chapters to the care of the mouth, teeth, skin, and so forth, as related to eyes. He was, in fact, a great opthalmic operator. He was, however, grossly biased against the use of spectacles, " he could not concieve how an eye that does not already see well could see better with something in front of it." Chapters are devoted to white and black magic as well as to sorcery.

As a recruiter, sometimes I wish I could bottle and sell a specific formula for how to get a job. Obviously, that's impossible, as companies and expectations vary and relevant experience is almost always a necessity. However, there are a few tips that almost always apply for a great interview. Even if you don't end up getting the job, you will at least leave a good impression and impress your interviewer.
1. Demonstrate your professionalism by arriving early, dressing appropriately and having all of your materials (such as your resume and letters of recommendation) ready to hand the interviewer as soon as the meeting begins. It sounds too simple, but it really does go a long way! You won't believe how many people dress in t-shirts and jeans, forget their resume and arrive late with the excuse of "bad traffic." These excuses are NEVER acceptable- even if you live in Los Angeles!
2. Express your interest in the company and your eagerness to start the job. Brush up on industry terminology and the history of the company so you'll be able to contribute to the conversation. Mention any changes you're willing to make such as relocating to another state or working long hours. Not only is it flattering to the interviewer to see you've done your research, it shows initiative which is a BIG turn on for employers. Try to also translate your past experience to the job you are applying for and connect the dots of how one can transition and add value to the other.
3. Steer clear of any signs that might indicate that you're not serious about getting the job. Try not to check your watch or glance around the room, for example. Eliminate distractions (leave your cell phone in the car, for example) so you'll be able to concentrate fully on the interview. Don't get nervous and exercise your ego. Don't brag or give the interviewer any reason to be uncomfortable. Try your best not to be nervous. If you speak to fast or come across too aggressive because of nerves, you may even frighten your potential employer!
4. Display your sense of humor when appropriate, but stay away from highly sarcastic, off-color or potentially offensive jokes even if your interviewer seems like the type to appreciate them. You never know what the true climate of the office is and they may be recording your interview for other bosses to review. Actually, don't even attempt a joke until you get a sense for the interviewer's sense of humor, especially not when you're nervous. You could miss the punchline, mix the joke up, or just make an awkward situation altogether that neither of you is prepared to deal with.
5. Appear confident and in control at all times. Practice answering questions with family members or try a virtual interview online. Have explanations ready if you recently lost or left a job. Prepare a list of questions for the interviewer ahead of time so you won't prolong the interview unnecessarily. As mentioned earlier, you do not want to come across as nervous- this signals that you are under-confident which is a weakness and totally unattractive to any employer.

What is Interoception?
Interoception is our capacity to witness and feel the environment inside ourselves, from muscular tension to the beat of our heart , from the rhythm of the breath to the relative fullness of our stomach; from the soft, calm of relaxation and laughter, to the tense rigidity of fear and anxiety. Since inner sensations can often not be separated from emotion, interoception is a key concept in holistic mind-body practices and is an important indicator of self-awareness and well-being.
Interoception is often considered alongside proprioception, which is the sense of one's body position in space, it is the awareness of your body in relation to the things around you.Interoception builds on proprioception by focusing on the internal experience. Proprioception is the awareness that might help you to avoid bumping into things, while interoception is the experience of pain in your body when you stub your toe. Interoception is also key to helping the individual regulate bodily needs, such as hunger, cold, and exhaustion. In other words, it is the experience of the embodied self.
The range of interoception varies widely among human beings, as the experiences of one's life will shape the tone and texture of one's inner world. Trauma, disease, diet, socio-economic factors and dynamics of oppression can all intersect to inform and impact the character of interoception for an individual. For example, on the one hand, one can suffer from PTSD and experience reduced access to interoceptive awareness – often described as feeling nothing. On the other hand, one may suffer from acute anxiety disorder and experience a hypersensitivity to interoception and in turn have more inner feelings than one can handle. These examples imply that interoception is a continuum and extremes in either direction can throw us from our center.
Contemplative practice and somatic forms of therapy in part aim to expand the orbit and balance the field of interoception as an aid to liberating individuals from unnecessary suffering. By developing a new relationship with our inner world, we can begin to taste the fruits of a more fully embodied life.

David Gilo does not impose restrictions despite Adelson ownership of Israel Hayom.
Antitrust Commissioner David Gilo on Wednesday approved the sale of the Makor Rishon daily to Jewish-American casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who also own the free daily Israel Hayom. Gilo also approved the sale of Maariv to Jerusalem Post owner Eli Azur. The court is expected to sanction the deals on Thursday.
Contrary to recent reports, the Antitrust Commission did not impose any restrictions on the sale of Makor Rishon. Leading up to Gilo's approval of the sale, sources in the antitrust field said Gilo would possibly bar any joint involvement between Makor Rishon and Israel Hayom, either with respect to content or on a business level.
Makor Rishon pressured Gilo in recent days to approve the deal. The paper's employees, who on Wednesday held a protest outside Gilo's house, argued that rejecting the sale to Adelson would result in the closure of the daily.
Shlomo Ben-Zvim, who owned Makor Rishon along with the Maariv daily, is now being forced to sell both publications along with Maariv's news website, NRG, in the face of a mountain of debt.
Adelson was also the highest bidder for the NRG site. The Jerusalem District Court approved the sale of Makor Rishon and NRG to Adelson for 17 million shekels ($4.9 million), but conditioned the transaction on the approval of the antitrust commissioner.
The court approved a 4 million shekel bid for the sale of Maariv to Jerusalem Post owner Eli Azur, but also conditioned that transaction upon approval by Gilo.
Adelson's mass circulation free newspaper Israel Hayom is seen as supportive of the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Makor Rishon has a right-of-center Zionist orientation.


Attention UK political parties: we know you are pretty busy right now, what with Prime Minister Theresa May calling a snap general election in a few weeks. So, we wrote an election manifesto on development for you. Feel free to plagiarize it; in fact, we've written it so you can just copy/paste parts of it if you want. To M Macron and Mme Le Pen, your manifestos are written (and here's what we think), but you will find some good ideas here too. Needless to say, not all our CGD colleagues will agree with all our ideas, nor will many readers. So please let us know what we have missed or got wrong, in the comments below.
This piece was written with significant input from Owen Barder, Hauke Hillebrandt, Anita Kappeli, Joanna Macrae, Maya Forstater, Lee Crawfurd, and Caitlin McKee, our colleagues at CGD Europe, based in London.
We will ensure that everyone in the UK can be proud of our role in the world, taking steps that will benefit UK citizens for generations to come.
Britain is a small country with global influence. We are the sixth largest economy in the world. We are among the world's leaders on the environment, international development, and ending modern slavery. We are the only advanced country which meets both the international commitment to spend 2 percent of national income on defence and 0.7 percent of national income on development, and our armed forces and development programmes are admired the world over.
We are leaving the European Union because we want to control our own future, not because we want to retreat from the rest of the world. Britain is at its best when we trade freely, cooperate voluntarily with others to solve international problems. We will continue to lead the world in finding fair solutions to issues like extreme poverty, financial stability, international taxation, human rights, human trafficking and modern slavery, the environment, migration and refugees, drug resistance and pandemic disease. These actions will benefit UK citizens today, and for generations to come, by helping to shape a safer, fairer, more prosperous and sustainable world.
Britain's international development policies are aimed at meeting the Global Goals for Sustainable Development agreed in 2015. As well as our effective aid programme, we will implement policies across all of government to help achieve these goals.
In every year of the next parliament we will spend at least 0.7 percent of gross national income (GNI) on overseas development assistance (ODA), according to the internationally-recognised definition agreed by the OECD; and we will spend 2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) on defence.
We will maintain our aid spending because the UK lives up to it promises, but more importantly because foreign aid saves lives and helps the world's poorest people.
This aid must be spent in the most effective way. We owe that to the people who need the aid as well as to the British people who pay for it.
We will take risks, and some aid programmes will fail. That is the price of trying to succeed, and the good that is done by successful projects far outweighs the costs of failures. But we will ensure that we learn lessons from every aid programme, whether it succeeds or fails, so that we can do better the next time. We will continue to have zero tolerance of corruption and waste.
The primary goal of British aid is to put itself out of business: we all want a world in which foreign aid is no longer needed. This requires investments in education, jobs and growth, reducing conflict, and promoting the rights of women and girls and good government. In the shorter term, aid provides a vital lifeline to the poorest and most disadvantaged people, providing health care, food, water, sanitation, and other vital services.
We will take a new approach to aid spending, fit for the 21st century—first, transforming the system and second, refocusing aid for maximum impact.
We will be guided by what works. We will establish a National Institute for Development Effectiveness (NIDE), modelled on Britain's world-leading National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), which will issue public guidance about which interventions have been proven cost-effective in rigorous, transparent, impact evaluations such as randomised controlled trials, supported by open data. Additionally, NIDE will provide a summary of the effects on women and girls of each programme that it analyses. NIDE will also assess all aid programmes against the benchmark of direct cash transfers. From 2019 onwards, we will not invest more than £10m of bilateral aid in any programme that has not been assessed by NIDE, and we will only invest in programmes that have been demonstrated to benefit women and girls at least as much as men and boys.
To enable it to provide independent advice to parliament on the results being achieved by UK ODA, we will double the resources of the Independent Commission on Aid Impact, and to ensure its independence we will transfer responsibility for budget and appointments to Parliament's International Development Committee.
The Department for International Development (DFID) will remain a separate government department, headed by a Secretary of State for International Development. They will chair a new Cabinet Committee, supported by the secretariat of the National Security Council, to coordinate aid spending and other policies across government, and will be accountable to the Prime Minister and to Parliament for overall value for money, transparency and coherence of Britain's aid spending and policies affecting international development. The Committee will develop, publish and oversee the implementation of whole-of-government strategies for each priority developing country, replacing country strategies developed separately by individual government departments.
Britain will continue to champion a rules-based, legitimate, efficient multilateral system. But some of the world's most important institutions are not fit for purpose and we will be uncompromising in driving reform, working with others. Multilateral institutions will benefit from earned autonomy: we will give more money and freedom to organisations that have earned the trust and resources of British taxpayers. Where agencies are completely transparent, so that money can be followed from top to bottom, and their programmes are demonstrated to be good value for money by independent, transparent, rigorous impact evaluations, we will provide more core funding. For organisations that have not yet demonstrated their impact and value for money, we will enter into tightly-specified results agreements as a condition of core UK funding, with a substantial part of the funding provided only when results have been demonstrated. For the least effective institutions, British contributions will be earmarked, not core, and closely linked to an agreed programme of organisational improvements and results. Organisations in this last group that do not improve within three years will cease to receive money from the UK government. We aim to increase multilateral aid, i.e. core funding to demonstrably effective multilateral institutions to at least 50 percent of ODA (from 42 percent now), as and when their performance merits it, while reducing the proliferation of so-called "multi-bi" earmarked programmes such as trust funds to less than 5 percent of ODA (from 20 percent now). This will be a significant improvement in the effectiveness of British aid, 64 percent of which is currently provided as bilateral aid, much of which is going to multilateral institutions anyway, leading to unnecessary bureaucracy, duplication and burdens on developing countries.
We will make aid more transparent, using new technology to enable citizens to "follow the money" to see where their aid has been spent and what impact it has had. By 2019 all government departments administering UK ODA will be required to meet the good or very good standard the independent Aid Transparency Index. By 2020, the public will be able to "follow the money" for at least 90 percent of bilateral UK aid whether it is spent through NGOs, international organisations or private contractors. This will be achieved through a programme of geo-coding, traceability and standardised quantitative results. By 2020 we will move all grants and contracts to transparent reporting of expenditure and results through the open data standard of the International Aid Transparency Initiative, which implementing partners may choose to use instead of separate reporting to the government, so reducing the bureaucratic burden on implementers while increasing transparency.
If taxpayers want to choose for themselves where their aid goes, they will be able to take the decision into their own hands using our new AidChoice initiative. Income tax payers will each be able to allocate up to £100 a year each UK ODA to UK-registered charities working in the field of international development.
We will distribute at least a quarter of our bilateral aid as cash transfers, directly to the very poorest people and those affected by humanitarian emergencies. We will use technology to minimise waste and corruption so ensuring our aid goes into the hands of those that need it to be used for what they most need. We will not invest in other aid programmes exceeding £10m unless they have been assessed by NIDE and shown to be more cost-effective than direct cash transfers.
We will work with the other donors to reform humanitarian aid to help end the duplication, lack of planning, overlap and ineffectiveness that characterizes the international response to crises, as agreed at the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016. We will bridge the humanitarian and development divide; work with countries hosting refugees to create more jobs, for example by providing access to our markets; give cash transfers rather than aid-in-kind by default; help countries to take out new concessional insurance policies that incentivise risk reduction and pay out in case of disasters like drought or hurricanes; and use innovative finance to increase refugee resettlement. We will open humanitarian aid to innovation and new technologies by working with the private sector and other new actors.
We will use aid to support private investment, jobs and growth in the developing world. This is essential to provide countries with a path to graduate from aid and to meet the Global Goals. We will implement a planned programme of sustained expansion of CDC group (the UK's development finance institution), increasing the British government's investment to £6 billion over the next 15 years, to scale up investment and development impact of the company. Though our contributions to CDC count as ODA, they do not add to the government deficit or public spending so they will be additional to the 0.7 percent target for ODA. As part of its new strategy CDC will be increase its transparency, including full compliance with the International Aid Transparency Initiative.
Our bilateral aid will concentrate on programmes that are innovative, which draw on specialist British expertise, are neglected by others, or which help to promote our values such as human rights and the rule of law. We will increase our support to the Global Innovation Fund, research and development, think-tanks in the UK and internationally which generate knowledge and policy ideas [self serving suggestion klaxon!], and civil society groups around the world which promote rights and accountability. We will link payment to results wherever possible. This ensures that everyone is focused on what our aid achieves, rather than on spending the money, enables flexibility for risk-taking and adaptive programming, and draws in a wider range of delivery organisations.
We will continue to increase the proportion of aid targeted to the most fragile and conflict-affected states, where people are most vulnerable and security threats most significant. In line with the Global Goals, Britain will ensure it leaves "no one behind" by reversing recent trends of decreased aid spending to sub-Saharan Africa, where the majority of fragile states are located. We will review the way in which we use aid in these contexts to ensure that DFID has the right policy frameworks, partnerships, human resources and finance to deliver development outcomes in these most difficult contexts, and to improve coordination between the Ministry of Defence, Foreign Office, Department of International Trade, Department of Health, Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and DFID.
We will establish a £1 billion outcomes fund for Development Impact Bonds, to enable social impact investment in key services in developing countries. We will expand the successful model of Trade Mark East Africa to support economic growth across the continent.
Our international role extends well beyond the 0.7 percent of national income we spend on aid and the 2 percent we spend on defence as part of NATO.
We will make a British Trade Promise that our post-Brexit trade policies will be better for developing countries than they are within the EU. We will use the control given to us by Brexit to strike deep and comprehensive trade deals with the EU and the US that show the benefits of free and open trade. We will take the Four Steps that would achieve lower prices for rich and poor UK consumers alike, driving up business productivity, and establish the UK as a leader on trade for development.
We will further develop the The City of London as a world-leading hub for enabling capital to be invested efficiently, responsibly, with integrity and in alignment with the opportunities for green economic growth globally. We will implement the Financial Stability Board's Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure and collaborating to develop financial instruments such as green bonds and catastrophe insurance.
The UK will promote leading standards in tax and transparency. We will convene the UK's leading businesses, tax professionals, NGOs and think tanks to establish common principles for how they can work together to scrutinise and improve the UK's impact on tax revenues in developing countries.
British courts will not uphold future contracts or agreements entered into by companies whose beneficial owners are not publicly known. Any company or organisation wishing to take advantage of the fair and efficient British legal system must be publicly transparent about the true identities of its beneficial owners.
We will support an effective UN body working on international tax systems. We will continue with our commitment to double annual aid for tax systems to £40 million annually by 2020, including seconding UK tax inspectors to work with revenue authorities in developing countries. We remain a leading member of the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative and the Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) and will work with our Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies to ensure that they offer well-regulated financial services and demonstrate the highest standards of integrity.
Within the UK we will introduce a carbon tax, on a revenue neutral basis, recycling the revenues to households in the UK. This will increase incentives to invest in clean energy, and reduce demand for the most polluting forms of energy, production and consumption.
We will work with a coalition of willing countries to establish a global cap-and-trade system of tradable emission rights, building on the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, converging on equal per capita emission rights. This is the fairest, most efficient and environmentally sustainable way to reduce global carbon emissions.
Climate change and energy scarcity hits developing countries the hardest. To address both issues we will increase spending on energy innovation research and development. Focusing on energy innovation policy is a global public good that is vital to create the next generation of affordable, carbon-free energy creation and storage capabilities. Investment in this research will not only benefit the world, but also our economy in particular. We will stay committed to the Mission Innovation initiative and our pledge to double energy innovation spending by 2021 to over £400m per year.
By 2025, we will cease wasting £3bn of EU subsidy which damages development, achieves nothing for food security, and almost all of which ultimately benefits wealthy landowners. We will use a larger slice than now - £500m - to incentivise and reward farmers, businesses and people to lead concrete plans which enhance the environment much more than our current system which ignores outcomes and incentivises pollution. Part of the freed up resources will be used for research and implementation of global food security.
Britain will remain at the cutting edge of innovation, research and development. We will simplify our intellectual property rights to support rather than stifle innovation, tackle patent thickets and trolls, and spread British ideas through technology transfer. We will invest at least £1 billion a year of ODA in research and development for challenges that affect the world's poorest people, including neglected diseases, clean energy and new forms of agriculture.
A major driver of conflict is the exploitation and sale of natural resources. Under international law, these resources are owned by the citizens of the country where they occur, and they may not be appropriated or sold without the consent of those citizens. The UK will in future not recognise or enforce transactions involving oil, minerals or other natural resources sold or licensed by governments that did not demonstrably have legitimate ownership of them at the time of extraction. The standard used will be based on ratings for civil liberties and political rights from Freedom House. Anyone trading in resources from such countries will be regarded as dealing in stolen property, for which the usual sanctions will apply.
Britain will no longer grant arms export licences for exports to low income countries, nor to countries that have not been designated electoral democracies by Freedom House. Instead we will invite democratically elected governments in low income countries to apply ex ante for a Security Guarantee - a time-limited insurance contract guaranteeing that British - and potentially other - armed forces will step in to defend that government from any attempt at the violent seizure of power, from either internal or external armed groups.
The government will instruct British courts that it is not consistent with public policy to recognise or enforce contracts or agreements entered into after 1 July 2017 by any individual or entity on the consolidated list of targets of financial sanctions.
Once we have taken back full control of migration after Brexit, our approach will be to ensure that migration is managed, fair, and benefits the country. Migrants make a huge contribution to our public services and our economy, and we will continue to welcome people who want to come here to flee persecution, to join family members, to make a better life for themselves and their family, or to participate in our vibrant economy.
Overall migration will be paced to be below 1 migrant for every 200 British citizens per year. Migrants will be welcomed from all parts of the world, rather than just high-skilled or already-wealthy migrants. As well as being good for the British economy, migration from developing countries can provide life-changing opportunities for the people who move, increases remittances and investment in developing countries, and accelerates the spread of ideas and values which underpin development. We will introduce the equivalent of the US Green Card lottery system for developing partner countries with sound security.
We will introduce Global Skills Partnerships which will enable talented people from developing countries to be trained and accredited to fill key roles in the British economy without contributing to a brain drain from the poorest countries in the world, so benefiting Britain, the migrant, and their country of origin.
