News Article | April 21, 2017

In January–March 2017, the result of the Group amounted to EUR 7.8 million (EUR 4.1 million in the same period previous year). Earnings per share was EUR 0.51 (0.27). Investment income was EUR 10.2 million (5.4). Net Asset Value (dividend-adjusted) increased during the period by 6.3% (2.4%). No dividend was distributed for 2016 (EUR 4.14 per share for 2015). In January CapMan Plc submitted an application to the Redemption Committee of the Finnish Central Chamber of Commerce to commence arbitration proceedings for the redemption of Norvestia's minority shares. CapMan holds 92.5% of Norvestia's shares. CapMan announced that it will offer in this compulsory redemption proceeding EUR 7.14 per share in cash to Norvestia's minority shareholders. The final redemption price will be determined by the Arbitral Tribunal designated by the Redemption Committee of the Finnish Central Chamber of Commerce. The decision of the Arbitral Tribunal is expected in the fall at the latest. The Helsinki District Court has appointed Olli Rautiainen (MSc (Econ.), LL.M.) to act as a special representative to look after the interests of Norvestia's minority shareholders. 12 April 2017 the Board of Directors resolved to apply for the delisting of Norvestia's shares. 2017 began positively on the capital markets. Almost all of the world's core stock markets rose during the first quarter of the year. The OMX Helsinki CAP Yield Index, which measures the development of the Helsinki stock exchange, rose by 4.4% and the S&P 500 Index, which describes the development of the US stock exchange, by 5.5%. The positive tone on the stock market has now continued since the November 2016 presidential elections in the US. The value of the OMX Helsinki CAP Yield Index, for example, has risen by over 12% since the elections and the S&P 500 Index by slightly more. Last months' increase in share prices came as a surprise to many investors, as share prices had already risen to historical highs. Countering these record highs is the low interest rate level which has prevailed for many years, and which, together with the support purchases of the European Central Bank (ECB), funnels assets into the stock markets. In addition to positive company result expectations there are many other factors behind the rise of the stock market, one of the most important being the lack of reasonable low-risk investment alternatives. The promises of the US president Donald Trump to reduce taxation, increase industrial support and make America great again have also pleased investors. However, the new president has come to realize that making changes in a political system such as the US is not easy. This was demonstrated when his health reform bill failed to pass the senate. An interesting question is how long the positive tone of the stock market will continue if Donald Trump's government does not succeed in making its promised reforms in taxation and in other matters. Growth forecasts for the Finnish economy have been revised upwards in recent weeks. According to the latest predictions, the Finnish economy will grow by 1.3% this year and by 1.5% next year. This revised forecast is based mainly on the long-awaited recovery in global trade. The global economy is forecast to grow by 3.7% this year, which would be the fastest growth since 2011. Index yields on various exchanges for the first three months of 2017 were as follows: Norvestia's twofold investment strategy consists of market investments and Growth Equity. Market investments are made primarily in Nordic listed shares, funds and bonds. Growth Equity investments are made in unlisted companies, growth-oriented listed companies and private equity funds. Norvestia's investments excluding cash and other liquid assets were 91% (94%) of total assets at the end of March. The fair value breakdown of the investments was as follows: 85.0% of the Group's assets were in euros, 8.7% in Swedish krona, 6.1% in US dollars and 0.2% in other currencies. During the first quarter of the year Norvestia was a net seller. Shares with strong dividend yields in particular were added to the portfolio in March. The company hedged its investments by selling Euro Stoxx Index futures. In February Norvestia sold its ownership in the rapidly growing Idean Enterprises Oy to the global IT services Group Capgemini. The exit had a significant positive effect on Norvestia's cash flow in the first quarter. Norvestia invested in Idean in 2014 and owned 24.8% of the company. Investments in unlisted companies belong to Norvestia's Growth Equity portfolio, which is administered by Norvestia's subsidiary Norvestia Industries Oy. The aim of Norvestia's Growth Equity activities is to find interesting companies with strong growth potential, the long-term and active development of which can yield significant increases in value and thereby return to Norvestia's shareholders. In accordance with its investment strategy, Norvestia aims to find target companies that operate in sufficiently large markets and have the opportunity to take advantage of their service and solution innovations both in Finland and internationally. Norvestia invests in minority shares or can be in the majority together with another investor. At the end of March 2017, the Growth Equity portfolio consisted of six unlisted companies: Aste Holding which offers media production and consulting, Coronaria which offers health care and wellbeing services, Fluido which offers cloud services consulting, Digital Workforce Services which offers robotic process automation services, Polystar Instruments which develops telecommunications business intelligence software solutions and Touhula Varhaiskasvatus which offers early childhood and preschool education. The total fair value of the interests in these companies amounted to EUR 25.1 million. Growth Equity also includes investments in private equity funds. Norvestia has committed itself to investing EUR 2.0 million in the Amanda V East private equity fund, of which EUR 1.5 million is now invested; approximately EUR 5.0 million (USD 5.5 million) in Hamilton Lane PE Fund IX, of which EUR 1.2 million is now invested; EUR 2.0 million in Lifeline Ventures Fund I, of which EUR 1.7 million is now invested; EUR 5.0 million in Lifeline Ventures Fund III, of which EUR 0.6 million is now invested and EUR 3.0 million in Open Ocean Fund 2015, of which EUR 0.5 million is now invested. In addition, Norvestia has invested EUR 0.1 million in Lifeline Ventures Fund III AB. The total fair value of these fund investments amounted to EUR 6.8 million. The situation on the capital markets is difficult to assess. The surest forecast is that the interest level in those euro countries considered risk free will remain low during 2017. The larger unknowns, the significance of which is difficult to forecast, will be the various elections in the Eurozone. The Eurozone survived its first test of the year in March. In the Dutch parliamentary elections, the populist party which had been considered strong, fared much worse than expected. The next test will be on 23 April when the first round of the French presidential elections will be held. This election will indicate whether the strong anti-EU sentiment among European voters, recently demonstrated in the Brexit voting, continues, or whether the Dutch election result indicates an increase in support for the EU. Parliamentary elections will be held later this year in both Germany and Italy. The results of these elections will be significant for the future of the entire EU. Norvestia's near-future prospects will be guided by the ongoing CapMan Plc's redemption proceedings of Norvestia shares. With respect to CapMan's redemption proceedings Norvestia's Board of Directors has applied for the removal of Norvestia's share from the Helsinki stock exchange. It is likely that Norvestia's stock exchange listing will end during the second quarter of the year. After this, Norvestia shares will no longer be tradable on the Helsinki stock exchange, and Norvestia's journey as a stock exchange listed company will end. This stock exchange release is a summary of Norvestia's January-March 2017 Interim Report. The full Interim Report including tables is attached to this release and available on Norvestia's website at www.norvestia.fi/reports. The interim financial information is unaudited.

Paris, April 26, 2017 - Capgemini Group achieved consolidated revenues of €3,171 million in the first quarter of 2017, up 2.8% year-on-year at constant exchange rates*. For Paul Hermelin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Capgemini Group: "We start the year on a solid footing. Our revenue growth of 2.8% in Q1 is driven by a strong momentum in Continental Europe and an improved performance in North America. Financial Services and Manufacturing - which together account for nearly half of the Group's revenues - show growth rates close to 10%. This reflects our ability to support key market players in their digital transformation. In addition, a strong level of bookings confirms the good start to the year. Digital and Cloud grew 24% year-on-year and now account for 32% of our revenues. We completed three focused acquisitions this quarter, aimed at further expanding our portfolio in these areas and bringing innovative and end-to-end digital solutions to our clients: Idean, a digital design firm based in Palo Alto, Atlanta-based TCube Solutions, specialized in Duck Creek Technologies insurance software and Itelios, an omni-channel e-commerce expert. We are also investing in our automation platforms and our global production centers to accompany our clients in their drive to improve competitiveness. By continuing to implement our strategic priorities, we demonstrate our ability to achieve all our objectives for 2017, the year of Capgemini's 50th anniversary." Q1 revenues totaled €3,171 million, up 2.6% year-on-year on a reported basis. At constant exchange rates*, revenue grew 2.8% after adjusting for the Brazilian equipment resale business which is being discontinued. Consulting Services (4% of Group revenues), driven by growth in Continental Europe and fueled by digital transformation demand, reported year-on-year revenue growth of 10.6% at constant exchange rates. Technology & Engineering Services (16% of Group revenues) grew 5.0% at constant exchange rates, progressing across all Group regions, with a return to growth in France amplified by the positive impact of the number of working days this quarter. Application Services (61% of Group revenues) benefitted from a strong market demand for digital and cloud-based application offerings and continue to drive Group momentum, with revenue growth of 5.3%. Other Managed Services (19% of Group revenues) reported revenues down by 7.6%. This is entirely attributable to Infrastructure Services which continue to be impacted by the anticipated decline in the UK public sector. Business Services (Business Process Outsourcing and platforms) are stable in Q1. In Q1, as planned, North America began to restore its growth momentum, with revenues almost stable year-on-year, at -0.2% at constant exchange rates, a marked improvement on the -3.1% reported in Q4 2016. In this region, the Energy & Utilities sector confirmed its path to recovery, with a third quarter of sequential revenue stability, while the Financial Services sector enjoyed good momentum and the Manufacturing sector strengthened. The United Kingdom and Ireland reported a revenue decline of 7.6% at constant exchange rates, reflecting the anticipated decline in the public sector while private sector remains healthy. France grew 5.2%, with almost 10% increase in Financial Services and Manufacturing, as well as in the consumer sectors (Commerce, Distribution, Telecom, etc.). The Rest of Europe enjoyed revenue growth of 7.8%, with around 10% increase in Germany, Scandinavia and Italy and positive growth in Benelux. Finally, the Asia-Pacific and Latin America region grew 13.6%, with activity slightly down in Latin America (excluding the Brazilian equipment resale business) and strong growth in Asia-Pacific. At March 31, 2017, the Group's total headcount stood at 195,800, up 7% year-on-year, with 111,300 employees in offshore centers (57% of the total headcount). Bookings totaled €3,001 million in Q1 2017, down 3.2% at constant exchange rates on Q1 2016 which benefited from the renewal of a major multi-year contract in the UK public sector. For 2017, the Group forecasts revenue growth at constant exchange rates of 3.0%, an operating margin of 11.7% to 11.9% and organic free cash flow generation in excess of €950 million. Paul Hermelin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Aiman Ezzat, Chief Financial Officer, will present this press release during a conference call in English to be held today at 8 a.m. Paris time (CET).

Learn more about us at www.capgemini.com. Organic growth, or like-for-like growth, in revenues is the growth rate calculated at constant Group scope and exchange rates. The Group scope and exchange rates used are those for the published fiscal year. Exchange rates for the published fiscal year are also used to calculate growth at constant exchange rates. As announced on the publication of the outlook for 2017, to ensure that the discontinuation of equipment resale activities in Brazil does not disrupt the analysis of quarterly trends, organic growth and growth at constant exchange rates will be presented after removing this activity from 2016 and 2017 revenues. The impact from currencies is primarily due to the appreciation of the Brazilian real, the US dollar and the Canadian dollar and the depreciation of the pound sterling. The impact of discontinued activities is linked to evolution of the equipment resale business in Brazil, which in the first quarter of 2016 represented 18 million euros at the reported rate. * The terms and non-GAAP measures marked with an (*) are defined and/or reconciled in the appendix to this press release.

How can a reverse mortgage benefit me? Find out how the HUD program works. This is the coolest of the FHA home mortgages for homeowners that are 62 and older who want to use the equity in their home.
The option is one of the prime examples
of how conscientious governments ensure that the country's older
nationals are well taken care of. Below I will explain how this HUD program works.
If you are a senior citizen then you would be eligible for this type of mortgage. It is likely that you have seen advertisements on the television or in the newspapers of how you can get money from your home without actually selling it off.
If you are planning to go for this mortgage program, then here are some details that you must consider.
This FHA mortgage program is a form of home loan that is designed to help you get money by converting the equity you hold in your own home. In different words, with the help of a reverse mortgage you would be able to convert the equity you hold in your home into cash.
can also view this cash as the equivalent of the equity that you have
gradually built in your home through mortgage payments. One of the most
important aspects of a this program, however, is that you would not have
to repay it till you actually stop living in your home. It is also
important for you to know that FHA also refers to this program as the
Home Equity Conversion Mortgage.
There are three separate criterion with regard to the eligibility of people for this program. These are the following:
There are four separate aspects that determine the amount of money you can get through this program. These include the age of the borrower, the current interest rate, the lower end of the appraised value of the home and the type of initial mortgage insurance premium chosen by you.
In effect, you would be able to borrow more if the appraised value of your home is high, your age is more and the interest rate is low.

Plane slides off runway at Scottsdale Airport, coucilman injured
A small airplane slid off the runway at Scottsdale Municipal Airport this morning and Scottsdale City Councilman Bob Littlefield was one of two passengers aboard.
The city of Scottsdale released a statement saying the two people on board suffered minor injuries and were transported to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn hospital.
Shortly thereafter John Washington, who is running for Scottsdale mayor, sent out an email blast updating the community on Littlefield's condition. The pair was conducting practice landings "when the engine quit while advancing the throttle during a go-around," Washington said in the email. Washington is also the former vice chair of the Scottsdale Airport Advisory Committee.
"Bob is OK, but at SHC Osborn for observation after impacting the control yoke with his chest," Washington wrote. "We talked for a few minutes and he sounds fine, but said he'll probably be taking it easy for a couple of days."
The airport said in a statement that the accident occurred at 9:30 a.m. during a touch and go maneuver, which is when someone learning to fly will land an aircraft but not come to a full stop and then take off again and circle around for more practice landings.
The airport's runway has since been reopened after it was initially closed this morning for investigators to probe the minor accident.

Breathe! (Reggae song lyrics)
Miscellaneous by: Wastland Shadows
Status: Finished
Genre: Romance
Hey, so here we are,
beneath the moon the rising sun and stars,
it's a brand new day, it's a brand new start,
to greet the world it's me and my guitar,
when you feel alone, when you feel afraid,
don't hesitate to call my name,
cause i'll be there, be there for you,
cause, i'll be there when your feeling blue,
breathe and take it in,
breathe, take it in,
from the hillside to the seas,
from the mountains to the trees,
there this place I long to be,
and if I asked you, would you come with me?
well I don't care what they say,
I'd leave it all behind and move away,
won't you help me make my dreams come true,
won't you love me like I love you,
breathe and take it in,
breathe, take it in,
it's so easy lovin' you,
why do you make it so hard to do?
it's so easy lovin' you
why do you make it so hard to do?
so hard to do,
can yo hear me, can you feel me?
it's alright, well if you only knew,
won't you hold me, won't you love me,
oh I'm still loving you, oh why?

text: 000 FXUS66 KHNX 202107 AFDHNX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Joaquin Valley - Hanford CA 207 PM PDT Sat May 20 2017 .SYNOPSIS...A ridge of high pressure along the coast will bring dry weather and Summerlike afternoon temperatures to the district through Tuesday. Isolated afternoon thunderstorms are possible each day near the Sierra crest. An onshore flow during mid to late week will cool temperatures to near normal. && .DISCUSSION...A profound warming trend is taking place across the central California interior this afternoon, and it`s only a preview of what`s to come during the next few days. High temperatures will be well into the 90s in the San Joaquin Valley, lower foothills and the Kern county desert Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. In the hottest locations, thermometer readings will top the century mark early next week. If Fresno makes it to 100 degrees in this toasty spell, it will be the first time since September 19th. Our Summerlike warmth can be blamed on a strong upper level ridge of High pressure currently centered over the Eastern Pacific. The ridge axis will shift westward a bit during the next 24 hours and allow a weak short wave trough to slip southward from Idaho into the Great Basin. Although there isn`t much moisture associated with this feature, it will provide enough lift for the development of isolated thunderstorms near the Sierra crest tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow evening. Once this short wave feature moves into northern Arizona tomorrow night, the EPAC ridge will build in behind it and settle over the Golden State early next week. Atmospheric subsidence associated with this upper level ridge will probably suppress afternoon convection over the Sierra, but there might still be enough moisture available from melting snow for cumulus buildups over the crest Monday and Tuesday. The models forecast just enough CAPE and 700 mb to 500 mb moisture along the Sierra crest both afternoons to keep a slight chance of thunderstorms in the forecast. All in all, dry weather will prevail under this high pressure ridge. Additionally, rapidly melting snow over the high Sierra during the next few days will bring an increase in water levels and flows on many rivers over the higher terrain. The Merced river that runs through Yosemite National Park is forecast to crest just above flood stage late Monday night and again the following two nights. Folks that might think rivers would be a cool and inviting escape from Summerlike heat will put themselves in potential danger as the snow-fed waters will be icy cold and swift. The models forecast a collapse of the upper level ridge by the middle of next week as a closed low develops over the Pacific Northwest. An onshore flow will become established across central California Wednesday and will strengthen somewhat during the latter part of next week as the upper level trough settles southward into Northern California. Westerly winds will probably become gusty again through and below the mountain passes of Kern county and along the west side of the San Joaquin Valley Thursday through Friday. Otherwise, Wednesday through Friday will be dry with a refreshing change to seasonably cooler weather.

Question about JVC KD-S71R CD Player
Can i play an external component through this player ?
Is there a port at the back that will take a Line input adaptor ?
I have a jvc system in another vehicle, i got an adaptor (KS-U57) which connected to the back of the jvc player, i then got the relevant cables which had a headphone jack on the other end which fits into my ipod, which i can now play through the system, will the above JVC system to the same ?
If so will i need the same or a different adaptor ?

SOURCE: Using an external mp3 player on my JVC KD-LX111
You could try using an FM transmitter which plugs into the earphone jack on your Mp3 player, then all you have to do is tune the radio to pick up the transmitters frequency.

'I love carbs but denial is good training': Jason Momoa opens up about his intense fitness regime as he covers Men's Health
In 2011 he made people pay attention when he took on the role which made Arnold Schwarzenegger a household name.
And making his mark on the industry, Jason Momoa has opened up about the methods he uses to ensure he stays in the best shape as the demand for him in the industry increases.
Covering the March issue of Men's Health, the 33-year-old actor, and model, surprisingly revealed that he's not a big fan of doing weights or sticking to diets.
'I love carbs': Jason Momoa tells all about his fitness regime as his covers the March edition of Men's Health
Speaking about the dietary requirements for his built physique, Jason admitted that he's not keen on eating food which weigh him down and has a thing for 'cigars and booze'.
The Hawaii-born star professed: 'You
need to eat big and lift big. But I prefer to eat as much lean meat and
green veg as possible and save the calories for Guinness. It keeps you
'I love carbs but denial is good
training for the mind. After finishing a one-month cleanse, I had a
giant bowl of pasta and I swear to Christ it was like I was on heroin.'
Revealing his guilty pleasures, Jason added: 'I love cigars and booze. If you're going to pound the beers you've got to suck it up. It [the treadmill] gets you going, man. Then you can have that beer.'
'You need to eat big and lift big': Despite Jason's impeccable form he admitted he's not a fan of doing weights
'I love cigars and booze': The 33-year-old also revealed that alcohol and cigarettes top his list of favourite things
In the shots taken for the popular men's magazine, Jason puts his muscular frame on display in a fitted grey T-shirt and a pair of dark jeans.
Showcasing his freshly chopped brown hair, as the handsomely rugged actor threw punches at the camera he lived up to his tough guy image.
Despite the simple and no nonsense style of the hard-hitting stills, as Momoa held up his fist he managed to continue to carry forward his heartthrob status.
'I wanted to be strong but agile': Momoa said role his role in the 2011
film Conan The Barbarian that he didn't just want to be beefy and took on the characteristics of a wild cat
Handsomely rugged: Jason also played the role of Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones
Going back to the way he envisioned
how he wanted to look for his portrayal of the vengeful warrior in Conan
the Barbarian, Jason explained he didn't just want to be bulky.
Instead Momoa said he took on the
qualities that felines exhibit to build his character for the action
packed Marcus Nispel film.
Ripped: Jason's full interview can be found in the March issue of Men's Health out February 1
He recalled: 'I wanted Conan to be like a big cat. I wanted to be strong but agile. They hunt and they eat. That's why they're big.
'I'm not a big fan of just doing weights. Anything more physical is infinitely better.'
The father-of-two, who is married to Lisa Bonet, continued: 'Whether that's working on my house or hitting at the holes in my driveway with a pick.'
For his latest role, Jason stars alongside Sylvester Stallone and Christian Slater in the Walter Hill directed film Bullet to the Head.
Momoa plays a character called Keegan, in the motion picture that sees Stallone play a New Orleans hitman who joins forces with a New York City cop to take on the killers of their professional partners.
Reliving what it was like to go up against the legend that is Stallone, Jason confessed he was a little apprehensive when they filmed their final fight scene.
He said: 'At the end of Bullet to the Head I had to swing this wooden axe at top speed right at Stallone and you don't really want to clip him. He's got these slabs of meat for fists.'
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Sarah Shahi and Sung Kang also have lead parts in the blockbuster.
Read Jason Momoa interview in the Men's Health March issue on sale Friday 1 February.
A punch to the head: Momoa and Sylvester Stallone showcased their fighting skills as they attended the premiere of their film Bullet To The Head in New York on Monday
Group shot: Other stars of the Walter Hill film in tow included Sarah Shahi and Sung Kang
'He's got these slabs of meat for fists': Jason also told Men's Health that he was a little apprehensive about going up against Stallone in their new film

Researchers mistakenly administer three-fold higher dose of anesthesia
Researchers have retracted a 2016 paper after discovering that they accidentally administered three times the reported dose of anesthesia to rats.
In the Experimental Physiology paper, the authors set out to mathematically map how rats' blood pressure changes under different conditions, which required the rats to be anesthetized. But their findings were called into question when they found the rats had received a much higher concentration of anesthesia than intended. According to the notice, this higher dose compromised the "objectives of the experiment."
The corresponding author Karol Ondrias, from the Institute of Molecular Physiology and Genetics at the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava, told us how the dosing error occurred: Read the rest of this entry »
Harvard teaching hospital to pay $10 million to settle research misconduct allegations
Brigham and Women's Hospital and its parent healthcare network have agreed to pay $10 million to the U.S. government to resolve allegations it fraudulently obtained federal funding.
The case, which involves three former Harvard stem cell researchers, dates back several years. In 2014, Circulation retracted a paper by Piero Anversa, Annarosa Leri, and Jan Kajstura, among others, amidst a university investigation into misconduct allegations. Anversa and Leri — whose lab was described as filled with "fear" by one former research fellow — later sued the hospital for notifying journals of that investigation. They lost.
In the agreement announced today by the Department of Justice (DOJ), Partners Healthcare and Brigham and Women's Hospital have agreed to pay the government $10 million to settle allegations that the researchers fraudulently obtained funding from the National Institutes of Health:
Three figures in blood pressure paper were manipulated, says journal
A pharmacology journal has retracted a 2011 paper after concluding images in three figures had been manipulated.
According to the British Journal of Pharmacology, four of the five authors claim they played no role in the manipulation. There is no comment from the remaining author, first author Ian Morecroft, a research associate at the University of Glasgow.
Here's more from the notice, which says an investigation at the University of Glasgow is ongoing:
Busted: Researcher used fake contact info for co-authors
In February, Lusine Abrahamyan, an assistant professor at the University of Toronto, was contacted by ResearchGate. Her name was listed on a 2016 paper in a heart journal, the site told her — was Abrahamyan indeed a co-author?
Um, no, she was not. In fact, before that moment, she didn't know such a paper existed.
It turns out, Abrahamyan had supervised the thesis of the first author — who, she soon learned, had also published an identical paper in another heart journal. Both have since been retracted.
How did this happen?
International Cardiovascular Forum Journal editor Andrew Coats told us more about the actions of first author Joshua Chadwick Jayaraj: Read the rest of this entry »
When you have 94 retractions, what's two more?
Attention Joachim Boldt: The 1990s are calling, and they want their papers back.
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery has retracted two papers from the early 1990s on which Boldt was the first author – bringing the retraction tally for the disgraced German anesthesiologist to 96, by our count. Both articles were found to contain manipulated data.
The first paper, from 1990, was titled "Acute Preoperative Plasmapheresis and Established Blood Conservation Techniques," and was written when Boldt was on the faculty at Justus-Liebig University, in Giessen.
According to the notice:
Researcher issues massive changes to papers amidst plagiarism investigation
A researcher in Greece has issued extensive — what we sometimes call "mega" — corrections to two 2016 papers published in a medical journal in Romania.
The first author — Alexandra Kalogeraki, a pathology researcher at the University of Crete in Greece — retracted two reviews from the same journal last year for plagiarism. The newest notices remove authors and correct, add, or remove text, often without providing an explicit reason for the change.
The journal told us Kalogeraki initially asked to retract the newly corrected papers, but the editors didn't believe that the papers warranted the harsher measure, as they'd run a plagiarism scan and conducted peer review of the two papers and did not find any issues. However, the University of Crete is currently investigating allegations of plagiarism in two of Kalogeraki's other papers, which have already been retracted by the same journal.
For the latest mega-corrections, both are so lengthy we're only including a small portion of the notice for the case study, "Recurrent Cerebellar Desmoplastic/ Nodular Medulloblastoma in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) in the elderly. A Cytologic Diagnosis," which deals with authorship: Read the rest of this entry »
Columbia University probe prompts retraction of cardiovascular paper
A journal has retracted a 2011 study at the request of Columbia University.
According to Jeanine D'Armiento, the study's last author, the newly retracted paper in Clinical Science contained a figure from a Journal of Hypertension paper published by the same authors earlier that year.
First and corresponding author Joseph George told Retraction Watch the error was unintentional. A Columbia spokesperson sent us this statement: Read the rest of this entry »
Authors retract two statin papers, one with problems "too extensive to revise"
Researchers in China have retracted two 2016 papers about the possible use of a cholesterol-lowering agent to treat bleeding on the brain.
One of the retracted papers in the Journal of Neurosurgery (JNS) had multiple problems that were "too extensive to revise," according to the lengthy retraction notice, relating to issues with authorship, data analyses, and patient enrollment. The notice is signed by first author Hua Liu of the Nanjing Medical University in China.
Liu is also the first author of another recently retracted paper in Frontiers in Neuroscience, pulled for incorrectly categorizing patients.
The JNS retraction notice begins: Read the rest of this entry »
Authors use same images in two studies — one is retracted, the other flagged by journal
After researchers in China included the same images in two papers published online one month apart, one paper has been retracted, and the other flagged with an expression of concern.
According to the retraction notice in the International Journal of Molecular Medicine (IJMM), the authors intended that the two different papers offered "different research perspectives."
Meanwhile, the Chinese Medical Journal — which published the same images one month later — has issued an expression of concern (EOC), noting it "should not be considered as a statement regarding the validity of the work." Both papers describe how cells regulate blood flow to the retina.
Normally, journals choose to retract the most recent paper containing duplicated images, but in this case, the IJMM paper was published online in February 2016, and the Chinese Medical Journal in March.
Here's the retraction notice: Read the rest of this entry »
Prominent heart researcher dismissed by Ontario university; colleagues appeal

very good!
Hello Dan. I just received your email regarding the upcoming exhibition and saw this piece on the side. First reactions: scrunching up to the computer screen to see it better. Second: clicking onto the image to see it on FAA and up close. Third: "I just love it." popped out of my mouth. A gorgeous piece!!! Would love to see the show and do the Art Walk but it's a bit far from Toledo. :-( Enjoy and I wish both you and Diane Simon all the best.

"On night's like tonight, the individual aspect goes to the background. I think you could see that we were a team this evening.
"The fans were fantastic and it was a stupendous evening. We played a perfect game.
"We did well as we didn't get impatient and I believe Milan deserved the win. But we know it will be tough in the second leg."

Vitamin D influences more than 200 genes, including some that play a role in serious autoimmune conditions and cancer, a study has shown.
The research highlights the extent to which vitamin D protects against a wide range of diseases.
Scientists mapped 2776 points where the vitamin interacts with elements of DNA, including those that make up genes.
The sites were unusually concentrated near genes associated with autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS), Crohn's disease, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.
They were also found close to genes for cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and bowel cancer.
The researchers showed that vitamin D had a significant impact on the activity of 229 specific genes, including ones previously associated with MS, Crohn's disease and type 1 diabetes - another autoimmune condition.
"Our study shows quite dramatically the wide-ranging influence that vitamin D exerts over our health," said Dr Andreas Heger, from the Medical Research Council Functional Genomics Unit at Oxford University.
Working in the laboratory, the scientists isolated fragments of DNA in cells to study the effects of exposure to calcitriol, the "active" form of vitamin D.
Their findings are published in the journal Genome Research.
Vitamin D influences DNA through a "go-between" protein called the vitamin D receptor (VDR).
The protein is activated by the vitamin and attaches itself to DNA at the binding sites the researchers identified.
VDR binding was enriched in disease-associated regions of the genetic code and also areas linked to traits such as tanning, height and hair colour.
Study leader Dr Sreeram Ramagopalan, from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, at Oxford University, said: "There is now evidence supporting a role for vitamin D in susceptibility to a host of diseases. Vitamin D supplements during pregnancy and the early years could have a beneficial effect on a child's health in later life.
"Some countries, such as France, have instituted this as a routine public health measure."
Vitamin D is chiefly made in the body as a result of the skin's exposure to sunlight. A small number of foods also contain the vitamin, including oily fish and eggs, but 90% comes from being in the sun.
In many northern countries, a lack of sun can lead to vitamin D deficiency. Over-zealous use of sunscreen can also prevent vitamin D production.
It is estimated that more than half the UK population do not get enough vitamin D, and worldwide a billion people may be deficient in the vitamin.
Lack of vitamin D affects bone growth and development, leading to rickets in children and bone fractures in adults.
The study supports the theory that lighter, more sun-sensitive skins evolved as people migrated north out of Africa to maximise vitamin D production in the body.
A significant number of the VDR binding sites were in DNA regions where genetic changes are commonly found in people of European and Asian descent.
"Vitamin D status is potentially one of the most powerful selective pressures on the genome in relatively recent times," said co-author Professor George Ebers, also from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics.
"Our study appears to support this interpretation and it may be we have not had enough time to make all the adaptations we have needed to cope with our northern circumstances."
