...that's a global provider of risk management, acquired CC Technologies (CCT), a corrosion-engineering company with a strong research division, based in Dublin, Ohio. With 2006 revenues of $20.6 million--a $10 million increase over its 2003 sales--CCT had been courted by several suitors. DNV communications manager Svein Inge Leirgulen describes the deal as having "huge business potential." Neil Thompson--now CCT's chairman and chief officer, and a co-owner prior to the acquisition--suggests the allure was that CCT's onshore expertise would complement DNV's offshore business. Matcor's Schutt is also in the market...

Norwegians Svein Gusrud and Hans Christian Mengshoel's Balans Activ chair contraption (1979), made in Norway, is equally uncharming. It consists of a kneepad connected by steel tubes to a padded seat, all of which is supposed to relieve pressure on the spine. It is, instead, a pain in the eyes...
...stolid statesmen of Reykjavik, measured and dignified in all things, erected their new order with utmost constitutional correctness. Until a republic should be established, able, revered Svein Bjornsson, Icelandic envoy to Copenhagen, was named regent. There was no need to create a new diplomatic service: Iceland had already planted a set of stalwart Vikings in world capitals after the Nazis captured Denmark last year.
