A global movement to make it fun & easy to break the ice between people to find true love, friendships, and social activities with an optimal mix of high-tech & high-touch organized as a Master Franchise. The top management team at Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA bought the idea in 2006 as a social benefit. Love & Friendship locally & globally - health & peace! Personal matchmaking, online dating, friendships, mingling! Improving relationship health! Looking for: mentor(s), companies to co-create (pilot project), team members, business partners, investors, etc. Storytelling frame (the truth): Svalbard: Here you can still risk meeting polar bears in the streets. Every semester the university (UNIS) has an icebreaker party! Since 2004 I have tested out different ideas and found them possible to succeed. For more information read this paper: ALYTUS COLLEGE, ISSN 2029-9311, October 30, 2013: 50 % of the world population lives in big cities worldwide - how will this affect our social relationships -- and how to improve these? 50 % of the world population lives in big cities worldwide --and this will increase (globalis.no) - how will this affect our social relationships, and how to improve these? Several statistics underline the challenges of the modern world: 50 % or more are single. 50 % are cheating. 50 % or more break up or divorce. 25 % on sick leave as a result of a relationship breakup. Low libido is now a public health problem. 48 % have only one friend, but not a reliable one in a crisis. 50 % of the population wants more friends. We become more sick from our private lives than our work lives (Modesta Olsen, 2007), and the modern family is the most common family structure (Almendingen, 2010). Which social structures can survive the strain of losing the qualities of faithfulness, honesty, and decency? Cynicism becomes our defense. Depression and feelings of emptiness are the prices we pay. Giving hugs, care, and trust to others not only bring greater happiness - it can also lead to better business. Icebreakercard.com is a new world movement to solve these social challenges. It fights for its vision: Love and friendship locally and globally! Our big goal is to improve your life quality. As social entrepreneurs, we are called the fourth sector which cooperates with the other three: private, public, and civic (Ellis, 2006) with an optimal mix of high tech & high touch! In this paper, I will present my research findings in the Western world (mainly Norway and USA) and my part of the solution as a social entrepreneur of Icebreakercard.com. A social entrepreneur has been described as our time's hero and heroines. We create solutions where none of the sectors have succeeded well enough. Bad relationships lead to health problems in the population across age and gender. Mental health conditions are now the key concern in all of the OECD countries. The employer and the community take the economic bill when the employee is on sick leave. The disease is a private matter, but absence is not.

Why Den Glade Mund (The Happy Mouth)? We have a great desire to make a difference so that many more people can avoid dental diseases. • Many people can easily brush their teeth much better if they know how. • Many people do not know much about why they actually get cavities, gingivitis and periodontal disease. • And even fewer know how to avoid dental diseases. • And when you have to buy toothbrushes etc. it can be very confusing and difficult to find out what you have to choose and whether they work well enough. The consequence is that far too many people get dental diseases, completely unnecessarily. So we would like to change that, also despite the fact that the dentists then have less to do. We do this by giving people the necessary knowledge. Because when you know how and why, it always is much easier. That is why our dentist started http://denglademund.dk. She is passionate about prevention, and for many years she has had a great desire to be able to make one even bigger difference. What can Den Glade Mund (The Happy Mouth) do for me? The concept of Den Glade Mund is "help for self-help". Because it is what you do between dental visits that can really make a difference. Dental visitors do actually a minor difference. Den Glade Mund (The Happy Mouth) offers training for care staff and holds lectures. In addition, we have our webshop with handpicked dental care products that make a difference. Our dentist is always ready to give good advice if you are in doubt about what to choose. Or if you have questions about oral care in general. So Den Glade Mund (The Happy Mouth) can help you get better dental health.

We're creating a world where it's easy for everyone, anywhere to buy better. SARTH is a one-stop-shop platform gathering the most responsible brands. We curate only the best products, help consumers navigate the sustainable fashion jungle and make ethical fashion accessible to all. Everyday, we buy products that impact people and the planet. But we rarely have the information we need to make positive choices about what to buy. When brands actually do make sustainability claims, it can be hard to tell what’s genuine and what’s greenwash. For those who actually want to purchase better and more consciously it is very difficult to know where to begin, where to look and what to look for. At SARTH, we help consumers drive change through their purchasing power via transparency and evidence from the supply chain and third party certifications and standards. We verify the third party certifications and evaluate the supply chain from tier 4 to tier 1, the brand itself and the design process with circularity in mind. We eliminate greenwashing. We make transparency, traceability and accountability information available for all products on SARTH, so everyone can make informed decisions on facets that impact the environment, social aspects and governance when shopping for clothes. We also inspire, influence and educate consumers in becoming more conscious and how to take better care of the clothes you buy and already own, so that it last longer. It is our opinion that we as retailer have as much responsibility as designers, brands and consumers to create a better tomorrow. Therefore it is our finest job to be the most responsible choice when shopping. Never has it been easier to make the right choices when shopping. At SARTH we don’t sacrifice style nor ethics.

Webshop med Danmarks største udvalg af fertilitetstests som ægløsningstests, graviditetstests, tidlige graviditetstests, termometre, sædkvalitetstests og fertilitetstests. Jeg har selv arbejdet som sundhedsjournalist på Danmarks Radio i over 10 år, og derfor har jeg lagt over 60 artikler ind i webshoppen, som handler om vejen frem mod graviditet. I øjeblikket arbejder jeg også på at lave en podcast om brugernes rejser frem mod graviditet. Eksempelvis at blive solomor, at have gentagne ufrivillige aborter, at have PCOS, være i fertilitetsbehandling osv. Ifølge Rigshospitalet bliver cirka hvert 10. barn i dag undfanget ved hjælp af fertilitetsbehandling. Vi bliver også ældre og ældre, når vi får børn og derfor bruger mange af os måneder og år på at blive gravide.

Jumpsuits are one of the most popular fashion items in the world competing with dresses. The number one reason, mostly, women decide not to wear a jumpsuit is the lack of their functionality. Dressing, undressing, adding or removing one layer is impossible without removing all your clothing. If you've ever worn a jumpsuit, you know how challenging it is to use the restroom, or remove a layer when it's too hot; especially when you decide to wear a blazer or jacket on top. To solve this problem, we created the Zip-on jumpsuit. The top and bottom pieces of this garment are attached through a zipper that goes all around the waist. This improvement allows you to easily remove only one piece at a time. The pieces can be replaced with other styles, for example if you replace the pants with a skirt, the piece becomes a dress, the most popular choice there is. We bring practicality to fashion, without compromising on style. We focus on quality and circularity. An important aspect we focus on is fitting and sizing. Our sizing allows for sizes S-M and M-L to share the same measurement at the waist, for maximising the fitting range of women in the current time. Our jumpsuits are made out of qualitative organic fabrics, made by fairly treated workers. Our business is feasible and scalable. Our Zip-On jumpsuit is practical, comfortable and modular. It is One piece, but two.

Danish further down... My frustration is that I have a lack of an overview of used maritime boat equipment. Therefore, I spent some time wondering how it should be approached. I have created a web portal where I have worked on connecting users together. Users who all want to sell their used boat equipment, and users who want to buy used boat equipment. The idea is that the user (the sailor) can put the equipment up for sale that is just filling up the shelves and collecting dust. Other users can then search the website for exactly the equipment he/she is looking for. The buyer then contacts the seller themselves, and they then agree on the sale/transfer etc. When you have said buying and selling and marketplace, I also draw attention to Co2, recycling, pollution, recycling and much more. These are words we love to hear in today's world, and not least to do something about and improve. By recycling used maritime equipment, we reduce Co2 and contribute to a common future where equipment can be used more than once. Sellers can make money selling their used equipment and buyers can save a lot of money by buying used equipment.Min frustration er, at jeg, som sejler mangler et overblik over brugt maritimt bådudstyr. Derfor gik jeg en tid og spekulerede over hvordan det skulle gribes an. Jeg har lavet en webportal, hvor jeg har arbejdet med at koble brugere sammen. Brugere der alle ønsker at sælge deres brugte bådudstyr, og brugere der ønsker at købe brugt bådudstyr. Ideen er, at brugeren (sejleren) kan lægge det udstyr til salg, som blot ligger og fylder op på hylderne og samler støv. Andre brugere kan herefter søge på hjemmesiden efter lige præcis det udstyr han/ hun leder efter. Herefter kontakter køber selv sælger, og de aftaler herefter selv salg/ overdragelse mv. Når man har sagt køb og salg og markedsplads, så henviser jeg også opmærksomheden på Co2, genanvendelse, forurening, genbrug og meget mere. Dette er ord vi i den nuværende verden er vilde med at høre, og ikke mindst gøre noget ved og udbedre. Ved genbrug af brugt maritimt udstyr, mindsker vi Co2, og bidrager til en fælles fremtid hvor udstyr kan bruges mere end én gang. Sælgere kan tjene på at sælge deres brugte udstyr, og købere kan spare mange penge ved at købe brugt udstyr.
