...With 300 stores in the U.K and 100 international outlets (all of them franchises) in Asia, Europe and Latin America, Topshop is looking to expand its reach further overseas. "There's no lack of demand," Green says. Even after opening its biggest international store in Stockholm, he says, Scandinavia still holds tremendous potential. But to grow much larger, Topshop will have to make some radical changes. Today, no matter where its smock dresses or miniskirts are stitched together - or where they're destined - everything passes through the U.K. "The existing franchising model and supply chain would not work for significant...
Locomotor training was a long time in coming. In the 1970s, investigators at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm first discovered that paralyzed kittens could be trained to step by placing their back feet on a surface and manually walking them. In 1997, physiologist Reggie Edgerton, who had conducted the kitten studies and had since moved to UCLA, got Reeve onto a treadmill and put him through some therapeutic paces. Two years later, Reeve's foundation launched its NeuroRecovery Network, sponsoring locomotor work at seven hospitals and therapy centers across the country, including the Frazier Rehab Institute in Louisville, Ky., where...
Public discussion of global warming in the U.S. is years behind the rest of the world, and adaptation is no exception. "You can't adapt to a problem you don't admit exists," notes Richard Klein of the Stockholm Environment Institute, another IPCC co-author. The U.S. has only recently acknowledged global warming, while other countries are already taking concrete action to prepare for its impact. The Netherlands has some of the strongest flood defenses in the world and is making them stronger. Britain has doubled spending on flood and coastal-defense management, to about $1 billion a year. France...
...JOHANSSON MISSES THE dark chocolate he got at home in Sweden. But he knows that giving up the sweet treat is a small price to pay for moving from Popwire, a former Ericsson company in Stockholm, to MobiTV last September. As chief technology officer, Johansson, 37, has been making bets on changing the media-delivery game on mobile telephones (of which he owns three) since 2000. You might think of him as MobiTV's cartographer, the one who creates the technology road map and links strategy with scale to grow the start-up into a mature company. "I've made...
...Even in Stockholm, Iraqis often find their careers stalled while they spend months in Swedish-language classes. The government has made attendance in language classes a precondition for receiving asylum benefits. Then comes the slog of requalifying in their profession. While Iraqis in Stockholm praise the Swedes' welcome, they struggle to persuade locals to hire them for professional jobs. "We have a lot of highly educated people driving taxis," says Faried al-Suheil, who fled Baghdad for Stockholm in 1993, moved back in 2003, then returned to Stockholm last summer. He stood at the doorway of the Iraqi prayer hall...
