With GMO Struggle In Mind, Food Industry Vying For Public Trust With CRISPR Discussion
By Kristofor Husted • Oct 14, 2017
Using CRISPR technology, researchers at the University of Missouri and Kansas State University developed pigs that are resistant to a deadly virus.

Originally published on October 23, 2017 12:28 pm
There's a genetic technology that scientists are eager to apply to food, touting its possibilities for things like mushrooms that don't brown and pigs that are resistant to deadly diseases.
And food industry groups, still reeling from widespread protests against genetically engineered corn and soybeans (aka GMOs) that have made it difficult to get genetically engineered food to grocery store shelves, are looking to influence public opinion.
The technology is called Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, or CRISPR. It's a technique that Alison Van Eenennaam, an animal genetics professor at University of California, Davis, says can de-activate a gene. Or, as she puts it: "It's editing. It's like going into a Word document and basically replacing one letter, maybe that instead of wind, you want it to say wine," she says.
Harvest Public Media's Kristofor Husted explains how major food-industry companies are looking to change the conversation around CRISPR technology.
Dozens of crops and livestock developed with CRISPR technology are years from the market, though the U.S. Department of Agriculture already said it won't regulate CRISPR-developed products like other genetically engineered food since no foreign genetic material is introduced in the process. The Food and Drug Administration will decide which new products are safe.
To get ahead of any criticism, a group of heavyweights in the food industry have joined forces to form the Coalition for Responsible Gene Editing in Agriculture, which is funded by members like the U.S. Pork Board, Monsanto, Syngenta and Bayer.
The board's CEO, Bill Even, says the food industry missed a chance to do this when the earlier wave of genetically engineered food made it to the market.
"There was never any conversation with consumers around what is this and what did it mean," he says. "Fast forward now today, there's a lot of debate around GMOs and food. The public rightly has … they're interested in knowing what's in their food."
People don't often trust big companies, says Charlie Arnot, who leads the coalition and is the CEO of the Center for Food Integrity. But when it comes CRISPR, there are three key strategies Arnot says will help get consumers on board.
First: CRISPR is not a secret.
"Those in technology have to be more transparent and be much more engaged in a public conversation and dialogue, in order to answer those questions, address the skepticism and ultimately result in earning consumer trust in what they're doing in gene editing," he says.
Second, the coalition wants to show that it shares the same values that shoppers do. So, its members are sponsoring and attending events like CRISPRcon to engage in public discussions about the technology and its potential animal welfare, societal and environmental benefits.
"If people trust you, science doesn't matter. If people don't trust you, science doesn't matter," Arnot says. "It only matters after you cross that trust threshold. So you really have to engage in that values based dialogue to build trust, and then you're give the permission to introduce the science."
And that's the third strategy: These companies want consumers to know that CRISPR isn't like other forms of genetic engineering. CRISPR changes the way genes are expressed, it doesn't add genetic material from another species.
"That's going to be the path that will ultimately lead to greater trust," Arnot says. "If we shortcut that path, we run the risk of potentially having this significantly beneficial technology not be accepted."
But persuading consumers to buy into CRISPR will be an uphill battle for Arnot and other industry groups. Food and environmental advocacy groups already are asking questions about CRISPR, as well as raising concerns over tracing genetically edited food in the system and the potential lack of regulatory oversight.

The Mexican government has raised the amount of ethanol allowed in a gallon of gasoline, in a move that could have a big effect on the oil and corn producers of the High Plains.
As The Houston Chronicle reports, Mexico has upped the allowable percentage of ethanol from 5.8 percent to 10 percent, which is also the level currently allowed in the U.S. Now, some of the world's biggest biofuels companies are jockeying for a position within what is the world's fourth largest gasoline market.

It's a blue-sky day as hired hand Mike Apfel sits in the cab of a combine, gliding through 12 rows at a time in big field near South Hutchinson.
If all goes well this last field of corn of the season might be done by nightfall - well before thunderstorms halt machinery this week.
Not that there isn't plenty to do in autumn on the farm.

Local Farmers Cash In On Corn Tortillas
By Angie Haflich • Sep 12, 2017
Many in the High Plains region regularly enjoy the tortilla chips – an item more local than what might think - that, along with a bowl of salsa, typically precede Mexican meals.
As The High Plains Journal reports, Leon and Nancy Winfrey of Plains, Kansas own Southwest Tortillas – made with food grade white corn grown on their farm. The family sells fresh corn tortillas to restaurants in Kansas and Oklahoma.
Kansas Corn Farmers Awarded Nearly $218M In Suit Over GMO Corn
By Dan Margolies • Jun 23, 2017
This story was updated at 3:12 p.m.
A federal jury in Kansas City, Kansas, awarded nearly $218 million to Kansas corn farmers after finding seed giant Syngenta AG was negligent when it introduced strains of genetically engineered corn seed into the marketplace that were not approved for import by the Chinese government.
The eight-member jury returned its $217,700,000 verdict after an 18-day-long trial, the first of eight certified class actions lawsuits against Syngenta brought in state court.

The book was co-edited by Anne Bahde, Oregon State University, Heather Smedberg of the University of California, San Diego, and Mattie Taormina, previously at Stanford University and now at the Sutro Library in San Francisco. This monograph, aimed at special collections librarians, archivists, faculty, and museum professionals, surveyed innovative methods to promote the successful use of primary sources in student research.


I have to agree with these rabbis…and who am I to have an opinion anyway. We are not to criticize the righteous. We wait on The Lord as we look at our world. It truly is searching for righteous leadership. The One coming is known as, The Living Word. We will know it is Yeshua YHWH because he will do signs and wonders and His proof is that He won't tell us to follow after other gods. We will want to be like Him…loving The Father's instructions. He only said what The Father had told him to say…and now He will be our Teacher….and place love into our hearts!
He is coming as God in the flesh. He can not violate His own words. This excites me because Tu'B Shevat is for planting trees and feeding the songbirds as Miriam sang songs and danced after they crossed the Red Sea. Israel is full of songbirds and her trees (men) are straightening to stand tall as Cypress trees.
Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky is highly respected and at the time of Shevat 24 should be considered a 'horseman' that tells how to bring ADONAI'S peace to the earth. He says, Jews must unite…in peace…asking The Moschiach to come.
From Jerusalem they are saying……. "Blessed is He that comes in the name of The LORD. They truly desire His return. 5779 is a severing year. Zechariah 1, 2 is about removing man's peace from the earth to bring God's peace…and it comes through Jerusalem's Temple with The King reigning from there. He will split the mountains and living water will pour forth from which the nations will drink.
The process to the Messiach is all about us………….Please don't be too busy to read this….and then BELIEVE….

At Invicta FC 15, she made short work of VanHoose. After a couple minutes of embodying her nickname, Brown did get lost in the moment and got tripped to the ground by VanHoose, but she immediately locked on a guillotine choke to force the tap once they hit the floor. Wherever the fight goes, Brown's ability to generate solid offense everywhere has kept her undefeated in Invicta FC.
"We had been trying to focus on my hips and not getting reversed and tripped," she said. "But I knew I had it and I should have been more aware of that trip. I just work so hard at the gym all the time and I expect the fights to last the full 15 minutes or, now, 25 minutes, but it's way cooler to get the finish that quick. I'm always ready to go out there to put on a show and to put on a fight. I'm always going out there for war. I think that's what separates me from a lot of the other girls. I don't want to go in there and play a point game or just pitty-pat. I want to go in there and finish you and do damage. I think fans can expect entertainment and a good fight every time no matter what."
Up next, The Bully heads to Las Vegas for a championship collision with Hamasaki at Invicta FC 16. With a stellar 12-1 pro record, the former Jewels standout in her native Japan is the current Invicta FC atomweight champion after earning a split decision win over Brazilian grappling ace Herica Tiburcio last July. The fourth woman to wear the Invicta FC's 105-pound belt also happens to own a win over Emi Fujino, who is the lone fighter to defeat Brown.
"I think she's a great fighter," Brown said. "I have a ton of respect for her."
Getting Brown ready for her first title fight is the tough and tested talent of her hometown's Fit NHB gym, also known as the New Mexico WildBunch. Under the watchful eyes of coaches Tom Vaughn, Arlene Sanchez and Jon Judy, Brown is kept busy tangling with sparring partners like unbeaten amateur Austin Lewis, who has been tasked to mimic her Invicta FC opponents, which he's done successfully, as Brown's record suggests.
This Friday on UFC FIGHT PASS, Brown clashes with Hamasaki with the atomweight championship on the line. The Bully has her sights set on gold and will do whatever it takes to claim it.
"I go in there to do damage," Brown said. "I go in there and do whatever it takes to dominate in a devastating fashion. Honestly, I don't think she's fought anybody like me. I know she's going to be strong just from seeing her hold Herica down pretty much for five rounds, but I'm just a really bigger and stronger 105er. I really think I'll be stronger in all aspects. I'm going to go in there and I'm going to do damage. It's just going to be a really great fight, whether she gets finished in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth or it's a decision. It's going to be entertainment the whole time."

Bisping finally reaping rewards after years of sacrifice


Ever since I saw A Dangerous Method, I have been interested in the interpretation of dreams. Last night I had an extremely vivid dream that has haunted me.
I am walking through downtown Eugene. (My dreams rarely ever take place in Eugene.) I suddenly see an army advancing towards me, with demonstrators retreating in front of them. The soldiers are shooting. Some of the demonstrators turn and throw rocks, but this doesn't slow the soldiers. A bullet goes whizzing past my head. I turn and head back the way I came, but I see soldiers coming from that direction, also with demonstrators retreating in front of them. I turn towards the Willamette river, the only way I can go. I see some old friends of mine – people I knew before I moved to Eugene – crouching on a steep river bank, so I join them. We discuss what we should do. I suggest wading across the river to the other side, but they don't seem to like that idea. Suddenly we are all on a freight train heading out of Eugene.

J.K. Rowling wrote the script and a song for "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," which stars Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander.
• J.K. Rowling wrote a song called "Blind Pig" for "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
• It mentions a lot of magical creatures.
• It was sung by a British singer named Emmie Joy Green.
• She had no idea what the song would be used for and was contacted out of the blue.
In the credits of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," J.K. Rowling's new "Harry Potter" spinoff movie, you might catch an unexpected name in the song credits.
That's because Rowling herself wrote a song called "Blind Pig."
What's "Blind Pig"? In the movie, it's the name of the pub Newt Scamander, the movie's protagonist, and his crew visit during their adventure. The film takes place in 1926 New York, during the prohibition era, so it's a speakeasy. When they enter, there's a female goblin singing a song. That's the one Rowling wrote.
The song's a jazz number about a broken romance, illustrated through magical creatures acting unusually.
It's sung by an obscure 29-year-old British-born singer named Emmie Joy Green, who goes by Emmi. The whole experience of recording the song was mysterious. She doesn't have a manager or a record label, according to the BBC, and was contacted "out of the blue" by director David Yates.
"I got this email from someone I didn't know saying, 'Do you mind singing this? Here are some lyrics, give it a try,'" she told BBC. She recorded the first draft in her childhood bedroom.
Tina and Queenie outside of the Blind Pig in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
The whole experience was very mysterious. She wasn't told who wrote the song or how it would be used.
"I knew the song was called 'Blind Pig' but I had no idea why, because there's no mention of a pig in it," Emmi told Pottermore. "I now know it's because that's the name of the speakeasy, but I found that fact out online like everybody else. I thought it was some codename to cover up what the song was about. It's been like a hilarious mystery."
Emmi noticed that the lyrics mentioned Hippogriffs and Billywigs, which sounded familiar.
"I started thinking, 'This sounds like something from Harry Potter,' so I Googled the words and confirmed that for myself," she told BBC. It was only then that she realized the song might be connected to "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." And only when she did a recording session in London and listened to parts of James Newton Howard's soundtrack did she realize the full scope of the movie she was working on.
Still, Emmi didn't know the song was written by Rowling herself until the film's IMDB page was updated a few weeks ago, she told BBC.
Now that Rowling has written a song for a movie, she's elegible for an original song Oscar. She also wrote and produced "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

Obama: 'Go Back At' Gun Control Fight
Updated Apr. 20, 2017 4:53PM ET / Published Sep. 22, 2013 7:59AM ET
Charles Dharapak/AP
President Obama on Saturday night said it's time to "go back at it" to find crack down on gun control after deadly shootings at the Washington Navy Yard and in Chicago. "We fought a good fight earlier this year, but we came up short, and that means we've got to get back up and go back at it," Obama told the Congressional Black Caucus, to applause. Obama had made gun control a priority after the Newtown shooting in December killed 20 children, but Congress had rejected his proposal to restrict certain types of guns and require more background checks. Since then, gun control has largely slipped out of the president's public agenda.

New poll shows Buttigieg in the lead in Iowa. Can he win it all?
Andrew Romano
West Coast Correspondent
Yahoo News• November 12, 2019
Welcome to 2020 Vision, the Yahoo News column covering the presidential race with one key takeaway every weekday and a wrap-up each weekend. Reminder: There are 85 days until the Iowa caucuses and 359 days until the 2020 election.
When Pete Buttigieg, the 37-year-old openly gay mayor of the fourth-largest city in Indiana, announced his presidential campaign in April, he was the longest of long shots to win the Democratic nomination.
But now Buttigieg is one of the few remaining Democrats with a path to victory, a path that is getting clearer day by day.
On Tuesday Monmouth University released a blockbuster new poll showing Buttigieg leading the field in Iowa for the first time. According to Monmouth, 22 percent of likely caucus-goers now list Buttigieg as their top choice, putting him 3 points ahead of former Vice President Joe Biden (19 percent), 4 points ahead of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (18 percent) and 9 points ahead of Sen. Bernie Sanders (13 percent).
Monmouth previously surveyed the Hawkeye State in August, after Buttigieg's initial bump but before his recent effort to rebrand himself as a kind of Goldilocks candidate for wavering Dems: less status quo than Biden, more pragmatic than Warren, and a safer bet than either of them to beat President Trump next November. The August poll found Buttigieg at 8 percent — meaning that he's gained 14 points in Iowa over the last three months.
"Buttigieg is emerging as a top pick for a wide variety of Iowa Democrats," said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute. "You really can't pigeonhole his support to one particular group. He is doing well with voters regardless of education or ideology."
Critics will be quick to dismiss Monmouth as just one poll among many. But there are two reasons they should take it seriously. First, Murray is widely considered one of the best pollsters in the business; according to Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight, Monmouth is one of only six "A+" rated polling outfits currently surveying American public opinion. Second, Monmouth isn't the only poll showing a Buttigieg surge where it matters most, in key early states.

In Iowa, Buttigieg has long been outperforming his national polling average, which is currently hovering around 8 percent. In late September he leapt into double digits; in mid-October he passed Sanders and moved into third place.
But in the last two weeks he has picked up momentum in the state. Three high-quality Iowa polls have come out this month: Monmouth, Quinnipiac and New York Times/Siena College. All three show Buttigieg in either first or a statistical tie for second place, and together they have established a clear trend line in the overall Iowa polling average. Since the last Democratic debate, on Oct. 15 — the one where Buttigieg reintroduced himself as a scrappier, more passionate proponent of Midwestern center-left pragmatism, to rave reviews — Warren has fallen by about 2 points overall; Biden has fallen by about 4 points; and Buttigieg has risen by about 6 points. The Hoosier is now within 0.4 points, on average, of overtaking Warren.
And Iowa isn't the only place where Buttigieg is gaining ground. The lone New Hampshire poll released so far this month, by Quinnipiac, shows him at 15 percent in a three-way statistical tie with Warren and Sanders for second place.
The likeliest explanation for Buttigieg's ascent is that he's benefiting from widespread anxiety among rank-and-file Democrats about the general election prospects of Warren (too far left) and Biden (not sharp enough) — an anxiety that is more pronounced in places like Iowa and New Hampshire, where voters are currently paying much closer attention than their counterparts elsewhere. That may be why Monmouth's new Iowa poll found that Buttigieg boasts the best favorability rating in the field (73 percent favorable versus 10 percent unfavorable), whereas net favorability ratings (favorability minus unfavorability) for Biden and Warren have declined since August by 13 points and 16 points, respectively.

Meanwhile, Buttigieg is alone among the alternatives to Warren, Biden and Sanders in having the money and organization to actually compete going forward. After two stellar fundraising quarters, the South Bend mayor entered the homestretch with more cash on hand ($23.4 million) than anyone except Warren ($25.7 million) and Sanders ($33.7 million). For comparison, Biden had only $9 million in the bank at the end of Q3. Buttigieg also boasts more field offices in Iowa than anyone else (and the same is true in New Hampshire).
Given all this, it's increasingly possible to see how Buttigieg could win the nomination. A flush, resurgent Sanders, fresh off securing the endorsement of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and rallying 25,000 supporters in Queens, continues to split the left-wing vote with Warren. Warren continues to take incoming fire. Biden's poll numbers continue to sag, especially in the early states. And Buttigieg peaks at just the right moment, surprising everyone on caucus day with a first- or second-place finish. Biden and Sanders limp into New Hampshire, where Buttigieg repeats the feat. And suddenly, after another poor showing from Biden in South Carolina, his firewall state, it's a two-person race: Warren the progressive champion versus Buttigieg the Rust Belt pragmatist. Perhaps Sanders sticks around, siphoning votes from Warren. And state by state, Buttigieg eventually prevails.
Earlier this month Buttigieg made waves with a suggestion — which he later partially retracted to avoid sounding presumptuous — that the 2020 Democratic primary contest was "getting to be a two-way" race between him and Warren.
"It's early to say," he told Showtime's "The Circus." But "a world where we're getting somewhere is a world where it's coming down to the two of us."
This has long been Buttigieg's plan. It won't necessarily come to fruition; he's yet to absorb the kind of frontrunner attacks that have tarnished Biden and Warren. But for now, at least, the plan seems to be working.

European countries and institutions are making renewed efforts to reunite cultural property looted by the Nazis with its rightful owners. Geraldine Kendall Adams investigates
"More than 70 years after the end of world war two and 20 years after the Washington Principles were promulgated, this may be our last opportunity to right, in some imperfect way, one part of the most ghastly crime in human history, before all of its 400,000 Holocaust survivors breathe their last breath."
These were the words of Stuart Eizenstat, the US diplomat and author of the 1998 Washington Principles for the restitution of Nazi-looted art, speaking at a conference in Berlin last November, which was organised by the German Lost Art Foundation to mark the 20th anniversary of the landmark principles. Eizenstat's speech echoed a widespread view that efforts to address Holocaust-era spoliation are entering a new phase as those who survived Nazi persecution dwindle in number.
In his speech, Eizenstat said he believed the "glass is slightly more than half full" regarding the success of the Washington Principles, which, though not legally binding, were agreed by 44 countries and 13 non-governmental organisations, museums and auction houses. The 11 principles call on nations to be proactive and transparent in identifying looted property, and to find "fair and just solutions" to restitution claims.
It is estimated that 600,000 paintings were stolen by the Nazis – of which 100,000 remain missing – along with millions of everyday items such as furniture, china, books and decorative art objects. After the war, objects recovered by the Allies were sent back to their country of origin, where they often ended up in public collections rather than with their rightful owners.
Eizenstat reflected on some of the principles' successes in his speech. Attitudes to provenance have transformed: art dealers now check for gaps and red flags in provenance, there is a range of digital resources to help survivors and their heirs locate looted property, and many public institutions have appointed dedicated provenance researchers (see box).
Since 2000, five countries, including the UK, have established independent panels to resolve claims without the need for litigation. And in Germany, the definition of looted property has been broadened to include forced sale, expropriation (seizure of property by a public agency) and "flight assets" – items sold as a result of economic hardship and persecution. Austria has become a model of good practice, with around 30,000 objects restituted.
But Eizenstat acknowledged that these achievements alone were "not satisfactory", saying it was "time for one last push to correct the flaws in implementing the principles". Privately, others are blunter in their assessment. "Seventy years on, there's very little restitution going on," says an expert who prefers not to be named. "There are quite a lot of countries that actively refuse to restitute."
Many of the European signatories to the principles, including Spain, Portugal and Poland, have conducted or published little to no provenance research. Italy rejects claims even as it seeks to recover works looted from its own collections, attracting headlines recently for restitution claims against the Getty Museum in New York and a private owner in Germany.
Inconsistent approach
Elsewhere, progress has ebbed and flowed. The Netherlands recently published extensive provenance research on its public collections, but it has also introduced a controversial "balance of interest" test to restitution claims, which weighs the interests of the current possessor against those of the claimant – an approach Eizenstat criticised for contravening the Washington Principles, according to one person who attended the conference.
Although Germany might be expected to lead in this area, restitution in the country is far from straightforward. In 2015, the government set up the German Lost Art Foundation to offer grants for provenance research. While its aims are laudable, the foundation has been criticised for failing to provide details of grant recipients or the outcomes of its research projects. A spokeswoman said it is planning to create a central database for this purpose, as well as a helpdesk to provide potential claimants with a first point of contact.
But further difficulties remain: as a federal republic, Germany has no standardised, written procedure for making a claim, an approach that has been described as a "recipe for chaos and inconsistency". Until recently, the claimant and the possessor both had to agree to appear before the country's spoliation commission – some museums simply refused. But as of November 2018, any museum that receives federal funding is obliged to appear before the commission.
Language can also be a barrier – even when provenance research is published, some countries do not provide translations for survivors and descendants who no longer speak their language of origin.
The obstacles that claimants face send a subtle message, says one source. "All these tests are just a way of saying, 'We don't want to return it'. So why not just say that? Don't put people through the motions."
As the last of the Holocaust survivors reach advanced old age, there is also a macabre feeling that some institutions are "waiting it out" in the knowledge that descendants may be less able to prove ownership. The Czech Republic, which holds thousands of looted objects in its collections, only hears claims by direct descendants, for example.
Even where museums have been proactive about informing people about looted art, there is a lack of clarity on what happens next. In some cases, having stirred up painful memories, a museum might leave families with no information on what they should do to recover their property.
There has been some praise for the UK's approach to the issue. The independent Spoliation Advisory Panel, which was set up in 2000 and restructured a decade ago, has published reports on 22 cases involving museums – the last in 2016. "It's a good process, transparent and clear about the way in which it decides things," says Anne Webber, co-chair of the Commission for Looted Art, which helps people with claims.
In the years after the Washington Principles were agreed, UK museums published details of objects with gaps in their provenance on a central database, which is administered by the Collections Trust.
A landmark piece of legislation was also introduced in 2009 to enable national museums to return Nazi-spoliated objects. But some feel the UK's early leadership in this area has lapsed. "There is a sense in the UK that it's drifting and that not enough is being done," says Webber.
It has been 15 years or more since many museums assessed their collections, during which time new technological tools and international research has emerged that could provide more insight into problematic objects.
The number of claims heard by the panel has been smaller than expected, says Mark Caldon, the senior policy adviser at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. This is partly because the UK holds fewer looted objects than countries that were occupied by the Nazis, but also because of the painstaking nature of the work. "It's a case of chipping away slowly and persuading people," says Caldon.
One sign of how things have slowed in the UK is the struggle in getting a private member's bill through parliament that seeks to remove a sunset clause on the 2009 legislation, which is due to expire in November this year. Despite government assurances that the legislation would be renewed, it has twice failed to pass a second reading. The bill – which is supported by the UK's national museums – was due to be debated for a third time last month but there is no certainty that it will be passed in time.
If the 2009 legislation expires, museums will no longer be able to return Nazi-looted objects, though the government would be liable to pay compensation to claimants.
A recent controversy at the National Gallery, London, highlighted the fact that some institutions are failing to abide by the spirit of the principles. The gallery's much-vaunted £3.6m acquisition of a self-portrait by the female baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi in 2018 was marred when internal reports emerged that the institution had quietly added it to a list of objects suspected of having been looted by the Nazis.
Although the gallery said it was "fully satisfied" with the provenance of the work, some senior figures in the sector have been privately critical about its approach.
Fresh impetus
There are indications that museums – in the UK and elsewhere – are changing how they approach provenance research. This is reflected in the growing public discourse on colonial-era objects; increasingly, visitors are asking questions about how certain items have ended up in public collections.
Where it was once seen as a case of merely adding information to a database, there is now increasing awareness of how provenance research can be used as a powerful tool for public engagement, helping to raise consciousness about troubling aspects of history. The Victoria and Albert Museum, London, recently appointed a provenance and spoliation researcher, who is tasked not just with researching the provenance of the museum's Gilbert Collection but also with engaging visitors in his work (see box).
"One of our challenges will be to ensure that the historical responsibility is carried into the following generations," says Freya Paschen, the spokeswoman for the German Lost Art Foundation. "The responsibility needs to be handed on, even if the last surviving victims of the Holocaust are no longer among us. Provenance research and its results can be a useful tool in carrying on this responsibility when integrated into museum education programmes."
Although much work remains to be done, momentum has picked up in recent months. A new network was launched last month to increase cooperation on returning Nazi-looted art.
The Network of European Restitution Committees brings together five advisory groups, including the UK's Spoliation Advisory Committee, to enable greater sharing of information and produce a guide for claimants, and intends to hold an international conference at the end of 2019.
It is impossible to overstate the emotional impact that restitution can have on survivors and their families, says Webber.
"One woman got her parents' books back. She found her mother's name written inside the front cover of one – she had never seen her mother's hand-writing before. That's what this is all about."
Gentileschi portrait
The National Gallery's 2018 acquisition of Artemisia Gentileschi's Self Portrait as Saint Catherine of Alexandria caused controversy after internal documents showed that the museum had quietly added it to a list of objects that could have been looted during the Nazi era.
Feldmann drawings
In 2006, the British Museum paid an undisclosed sum to the heirs of Arthur Feldmann for four old master drawings seized by the Gestapo in 1939, after a ruling by the Spoliation Advisory Committee. Young couple in a landscape, c.1535-45, was one.
Meissen figures
The Victoria and Albert Museum, London, returned three porcelain figurines to the heirs of the Jewish entrepreneur Emma Budge – whose estate was forcibly sold off by the Nazis in 1937 – after a ruling by the Spoliation Advisory Panel in 2014.
Gurlitt trove
The Gurlitt trove, one of the most significant discoveries of Nazi-looted art in recent years, was found in a Munich apartment in 2012. The collection of 1,401 artworks, which was assembled by the war profiteer and art historian Hildebrand Gurlitt, contains paintings by Monet, Renoir, Matisse and old masters. It is now at the Museum of Fine Arts in Bern, Switzerland, while claims of ownership are established.
Proving provenance
Last year, Jacques Schuhmacher was appointed as the provenance and spoliation researcher at the Victoria and Albert Museum's Gilbert Collection, one of the most important decorative art collections in the world. The objects were collected by London entrepreneurs Arthur and Rosalinde Gilbert from the 1960s onwards.
"When you look at what was collected, you can really see how much attitudes have changed to provenance," says Schuhmacher. "In the 1960s, nobody really thought much about it unless the object came from royalty."
As descendants of Jewish emigrants, the Gilberts would not have intentionally bought Nazi-looted items, he says, but gaps remain in the provenance of many of the items they acquired. Schuhmacher's work is painstaking and intensive – "it requires a specific skill set" – including knowledge of how Nazi looting operations worked, familiarity with the Third Reich's bureaucratic institutions and the ability to read dense documents from the 1930s in German.
"It's extraordinarily difficult and potentially intimidating for claimants," says Schuhmacher. "I look for red flags, such as the name of a Jewish collector, Jewish objects or auction houses known to have sold Jewish property."
Schuhmacher has yet to find a looted object, but did come close when researching the origins of a gold snuff box. He discovered that it had once been held in the private collection of Maximilian von Goldschmidt-Rothschild, a Jewish art collector whose property was forcibly sold to the city of Frankfurt after Kristallnacht (the night of 9 November 1938 when Nazis destroyed 267 synagogues, 7,000 Jewish businesses were either destroyed or damaged, and more than 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and taken to concentration camps).
After a trip to the city's archives, Schuhmacher discovered that the snuff box had been restituted to the family after the war and was a legitimate acquisition.
Schuhmacher conducts regular tours and says visitors are "extremely interested" in provenance research. "In a lot of cases, the history of what happened and who collected it is almost as interesting as the object itself," he says. Hearing that an object has a troubling or moving history has a big impact on visitors, he adds.
To tap into this growing public interest, Schuhmacher is planning to create a provenance trail and a series of seminars to promote provenance research in the museum sector, the first of which will be held on 27 March.
"It's not just about returning property, it's about giving recognition to suffering and the fact that museums don't want to be beneficiaries of the Nazis," he says.

Customers interested in front seats have to pay $40 per person.
Kindly Book your flight to depart from Boston after 1:00 PM or New York (JFK,LGA) after 7:00 PM or (EWR) after 8:30 PM.
The tour overall was good. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves although there were many hours spent travelling. However, the person who picked us up from the airport was a bit pushy with the optional tours that we did not want to do.
I suggest this tour. I took my little girl for her birthday and we had a ton of fun we intend to go for the late spring visit. Our guide was so useful and kept us engaged with her insight and incredible humor. Likewise she has heaps of anecdotes about the adventure and history of certain urban areas. On the off chance that we return to visit New York, I will come back to Niagara Fall with this Tour. The visit was very much arranged and timetables were met well. I will book again when I come back to see New York in the summer!
It was a very wise decision of my husband to book this tour for us. Everything goes as mentioned and certainly these people are very professional. The tour operators that GoldenBus is working with, i must say they are very comfortable people to travel with. All the attractions are a highlight for every age group. Even if you are not experiencing all this for the first time you won't get bored of it. The Tour Guide, Hotels, Bus, Food everything lives up to the expectations. It was our anniversary time away from the home and we spent it very reasonably in a great price. I fully recommend this tour and agency to everyone.
The best thing i loved about that tour was Niagara Jet boat ride, it was really magical, This was our first time to take that Jet boat ride. nothing was more fun than that, the hotel was really clean and it was just few minutes away from Niagara Falls. Our tour guide was really helpful and professional. We saw Old Fort Niagara, Boston, Niagara Falls, Harvard University, Corning Glass Museum, Quincy Market, Boston Harbor.
This was our first time to visit Niagara Falls.it was really an amazing place, a really world wonder! The next best thing was our tour guide, he was really an amazing and professional one. Our hotels were really comfortable and nice enough. We really loved it all. Whirlpool State Park, Old Fort Niagara, Boston, Niagara Falls, Harvard University, Corning Glass Museum, Quincy Market, Boston Harbor.
nothing is more fun than spending time with your family in such an amazing place like Niagara Falls. we had a great time, our accommodation was great, the hotels we stayed at were very clean and comfortable. it was my first tour with Golden Bus Tours and i really intend to do it again.
we had a great time during these 3 days, our tour guide was a very helpful guy, he was also really funny and very professional, i really wish all tour guides are like that. Our bus was clean and the hotels were really comfortable. We really enjoyed that great service, and the best thing was Jet Boat Ride in Niagara Falls. Also Niagara In-depth Tour was really an amazing experience. We really had a great time.
That tour was really perfect. Everything was in its right place, the The tour was really very well organized, we moved exactly on time, there was no delay and even during the tour we were right on schedule, it was a great effort from the tour guide who was a great guy . We really enjoyed Whirlpool State Park, Old Fort Niagara, Boston, Niagara Falls, Harvard University, Corning Glass Museum.
The bus windows need to be cleaned so that photos could be taken as we drive for the many hours on the bus. Also, some of the seats should be repaired. We got stuck behind a chair that was in a reclining position. And sitting many hours in a full coach made it uncomfortable.
We had a transfer guide. It was a lady guide and she was not at all clear with her instructions, confusing and pretty rude. The coach was comfortable, but needs to have some up keeping done. Accommodation was excellent. Thanks GoldenBusTours.
On the upside, Our tour guide was excellent. He spoke clearly and was easy to understand. Will - our guide was good but he could improve on his pronunciation. But no complaints otherwise. They both were always friendly and helpful.
In actual fact, Many people in the group opted out of this tour. He should not have been so pushy to make a commission from us. I think it should be made clear that it was optional and it is our decision to opt in or not for it. It was not a first good impression we had for the travel agent.
As we had already spent a few days in New York beforehand. I do not think that it was right of tour guide to tell us that we should get our friends/relatives come take us out during the 5 hours we are on our own, as he seemed to imply we would be stuck in some hotel with nothing to do.
This was a memorable tour and I will firmly suggest your name to other people. Visit guide was professional and accommodating to all. Time given at different spots was sufficient. Hotel arrangements were great. I will recommend this visit to all. All the best from us to the guide and particularly the travel agency who ensured we are open to amid our adventure and even while booking the visit.

'Catastrophic': Girl, 6, shot by brother
by Peter Michael
28th May 2019 8:47 AM
A SIX-YEAR-OLD girl shot by her brother with a loaded 9mm Glock pistol was the victim of a "catastrophic" and "tragic" reminder of the danger of unsecured weapons, police say.
The nine-year-old boy picked up the semiautomatic pistol and shot his little sister after it was allegedly left unattended in a bedroom of their Cairns home last Friday.
On Monday, Police charged their 47-year-old father of Earlville, who had a proper licence and had been cleaning the weapon, with grievous bodily harm and weapons-related offences.
"He had to attend to other matters and the firearm was left unsecured and in reach of the young children," Detective Acting Inspector Kev Goan said.

The girl was shot in the shoulder and is undergoing treatment in a stable condition in Cairns Hospital.
She was lucky not to have been more seriously wounded, Inspector Goan said.
The Glock semiautomatic 9mm pistol is a standard issue side-arm for Queensland Police and other Australian law enforcement agencies.
Acting Inspector Goan said the weapon was unrelated to the father's profession.
"How he got the weapon is not of concern," he said.
"What is of concern is he has a responsibility under the Weapons Act for safe storage and carriage of the weapon at all times.''
He said the man was also charged over the unlawful possession of a telescopic baton and a category R weapon, which includes Tasers.
A Glock 9mm similar to the one involved in the shooting incident.
"They are an otherwise law-abiding family,'' Inspector Goan told ABC.
"The young girl is very fortunate to have avoided the catastrophe that you would expect with this.
"Her prognosis for recovery is reasonable, although we suspect there is going to be ongoing damage caused to her from the firearm.
"It could have been quite catastrophic. Then that sibling would grow up knowing he had taken the life of a younger sibling.
"The impacts of what has actually occurred is devastating as it is.
"If you've got a gun, lock it up."
The father was charged with grievous bodily harm, failure to keep a weapon unloaded, failure to keep a weapon secure and other weapons-related offences.
He is due to appear in Cairns Magistrates Court on June 13.

Is Medication the Answer for Neuropathy?
Medication can be very helpful for a number of things. The problem is that medication is not generally designed to correct the cause of the problem. Common sense will tell you that if your treatment is not designed to correct the true problem, you're likely to have disappointing results. In some cases medication can actually cause new problems to develop in the body because of the many side effects. We know so much about the human body today. It's time to move beyond treatments that mask your symptoms.
Is Neuropathy Stealing Your Happiness?
If you have neuropathy you understand how it can make you feel. Simple things like driving your car or taking a walk with a loved one can become painful and difficult tasks. When you start to lose the simple things in your life it can truly steal your happiness away. Many of the patients we meet are in a state of slight depression, because they are not able to do the things they love. If you're in this position take action. This is a problem that you can begin to change today.
Our new Peripheral Neuropathy treatments succeed because we attack the problem at its source. Our combination of breakthrough technology along with advanced treatments provides your body with everything it needs to heal the damaged nerves. The majority of patients notice an improvement in their symptoms within their first few treatments. Our combination of treatments helps to restore, stabilize, and rebuild the nerves in your extremities. In many cases the results also go beyond neuropathy and have been helpful for conditions such as chronic pain, arthritis, and MS.
When you're deciding where you are going to go for treatment, it's important to think about one thing. Is the treatment you're receiving going to correct the cause of the problem, or is it designed to cover your symptoms? You see, a treatment that is designed to mask your symptoms will generally leave you disappointed in the end.
In general if you have pain in your hands, feet, or legs you may be a candidate for treatment. Each patient is evaluated by our team, on a one on one basis, to see if treatment is right for them. It's important to note that our treatments are non-surgical, and require no prescription drugs. There is finally an answer that can produce long lasting results.

Unequal treaty
Unequal treaty is the name given by the Chinese to a series of treaties signed with Western powers during the 19th and early 20th centuries by Qing dynasty China after military attacks or military threats by foreign powers.

Starting with the rise of Chinese nationalism and anti-imperialism in the 1920s, the Kuomintang and Communist Party used these concepts to characterize the Chinese experience in losses of sovereignty between roughly 1839 to 1949. The term "unequal treaty" became associated with the concept of China's "century of humiliation", especially the concessions to foreign powers and loss of tariff autonomy through the treaty ports.
ChinaEdit

In China, the term "unequal treaty" first came into use in the early 1920s.[1] Dong Wang, a professor of contemporary and modern Chinese history, noted that "while the phrase has long been widely used, it nevertheless lacks a clear and unambiguous meaning" and that there is "no agreement about the actual number of treaties signed between China and foreign countries that should be counted as 'unequal'."[1] Historian Immanuel Hsu explained that the Chinese viewed the treaties they signed with Western powers as unequal "because they were not negotiated by nations treating each other as equals but were imposed on China after a war, and because they encroached upon China's sovereign rights ... which reduced her to semicolonial status".[2] In response, historian Elizabeth Cobbs wrote, "Ironically, however, the treaties also resulted partly from China's initial reluctance to consider any treaties whatsoever, since it viewed all other nations as inferior. It did not wish to be equal."[3]
In many cases, China was effectively forced to pay large amounts of financial reparations, open up ports for trade, cede or lease territories (such as Outer Manchuria, the Kwantung Leased Territory and Zhetysu to the Russian Empire, Hong Kong and Weihaiwei to Great Britain, Guangzhouwan to France, Taiwan to Japan, the Jiaozhou Bay concession to the German Empire and concession territory in Tientsin, Shamian, Hankou, Shanghai etc.), and make various other concessions of sovereignty to foreign "spheres of influence", following military threats. The earliest treaty later referred to as "unequal" was the 1841 Convention of Chuenpi negotiations during the First Opium War. The first treaty between China and Great Britain termed "unequal" was the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842. Following Qing China's defeat, treaties with Britain opened up five ports to foreign trade, while also allowing foreign missionaries, at least in theory, to reside within China. In addition, foreign residents in the port cities were afforded trials by their own consular authorities rather than the Chinese legal system, a concept termed extraterritoriality.[4] Under the treaties, the UK and the US established the British Supreme Court for China and Japan and United States Court for China in Shanghai.
Chinese resentmentEdit
After World War I, patriotic consciousness in China focused on the treaties, which now became widely known as "unequal treaties". The Nationalist Party and the Communist Party competed to convince the public that their approach would be more effective.[5] Germany was forced to terminate its rights, the Soviet Union surrendered them, and the United States organized the Washington Conference to negotiate them. After Chiang Kai-shek declared a new national government in 1927, the western powers quickly offered diplomatic recognition, arousing anxiety in Japan.[6] The new government declared to the Great Powers that China had been exploited for decades under unequal treaties, and that the time for such treaties was over, demanding they renegotiate all of them on equal terms.[7] In the face of Japanese expansion in China, however, ending the system was postponed.[citation needed]
Most of the treaties China considers unequal were abrogated during the Second Sino-Japanese War, which started in 1937 and merged into the larger context of World War II. The United States Congress ended American extraterritoriality in December 1943. Significant examples did outlast World War II: treaties regarding Hong Kong remained in place until Hong Kong's 1997 handover, and in 1969, to improve Sino-Russian relations, China reconfirmed the 1858 Treaty of Aigun.[citation needed]
Japan and KoreaEdit
When the American Commodore Matthew Perry reached Japan in 1854, it signed the Convention of Kanagawa. Its importance was limited. Much more important was the Harris Treaty of 1858 negotiated by U.S. envoy Townsend Harris.[8]
Korea's first unequal treaty was not with the West but instead with Japan. Taking a page from Western tactics, in 1875 Japan sent Captain Inoue Yoshika and the warship Un'yō to display military might over Korea in the Ganghwa Island incident. This forced Korea to open its doors to Japan by signing the Japan–Korea Treaty of 1876.[9]
The unequal treaties ended at various times for the countries involved. Japan's victories in the 1894–95 First Sino-Japanese War convinced many in the West that unequal treaties could no longer be enforced on Japan. Korea's unequal treaties with European states became largely null and void in 1910, when it was annexed by Japan.[10]
