Recognition of the need for more ethically responsible business practices has the emergence of a strong global movement to embrace and promote the concept of social responsibility (SR). In the debate about the reach and relevance of SR there have been faltering attempts to arrive at agreed definitions and ways to expand its spread. However, the ISO has taken a major step forward in the wider adoption of SR by opening the way for the publication of ISO 26000, which gives guidance on social responsibility as an International Standard by the end of 2010. ISO 26000 is intended for use by organizations of all types, in both the public and the private sectors, in developed and developing countries, as well as economies in transition. It will encourage socially responsible operations in the ma...

Ole Bull, the great virtuoso violinist, known as the "Paganini of the North," had just established the first Norwegian theater in Bergen, and, seeing what a promising young man [Henrik Ibsen] was, engaged him as a "scene instructor," with the condition that he write one play every year. The engagement lasted six years - crucial years in Ibsen's life, during which he learned about the theater from the ground up and was given opportunities to travel to Denmark and Germany to study stagecraft.
Ibsen's last residence is now a museum, offering special tours of the inner sanctum of his and [Suzannah]'s home. Visiting, I was struck by its rich, plush, Victorian-style furniture. Their home, according to the guide, had also been a wonder in terms of modern conveniences, ahead of the Royal Palace...

How do you work? Well, I am a stonemason, so it's very physical. It's dirty and hard. A bit like war and peace actually! With my work in stone, it's all about taking away material, about reducing and freeing something that's inside the stone. So I used to always have pre-conceived concepts about what I wanted to do, I am beginning to change this, though. With my painting and when I work in clay, I let it just grow. Because that's not there yet, the way something in stone is. It's more about looking for something that doesn't exist.
If you weren't an artist then what would you be? There was never another option, really. Most kids draw when they're little, I just never stopped. I started at age 2. Then my parents weren't very supportive and they kept saying "You can't do this." And so it ...

Based in Copenhagen, Louise Campbell is a designer who moves in many different directions at once as she designs furniture, lighting and tableware. Campbell describes her work as "furniture for all occasions, from dignity to indecency," producing superlative sweeps like the 'Sushi' chair and the intricate, laser-cut 'Between Two Chairs' pair that she designed for Denmark's crown prince. Campbell's three-year consultancy with Louis Poulsen Lighting culminated in her Louis Poulsen Project - a collection of fourteen lamps developed to showcase new approaches to lighting design. As a result, her 'Campbell' pendant lamp was introduced in 2004, with a second lamp released the following year.

Hush is a Danish singer-songwriter duo with strong country and western elements, writing all of their songs together using instruments such as the banjo and violin. Hush was formed in 1997 by singer Dorthe Gerlach and guitarist Michael Hartmann. "We met in Michael's hometown of Randers across the water from Copenhagen. I was a street musician, and Michael, who was looking for a singer, saw me singing on the street. Michael had played in different heavy metal bands for many years. He had just left the popular singer Marie Frank's band and was now into folk music and pop country artists like Sheryl Crow," recalls Gerlach. The couple began recording the album "A Lifetime" in the summer of 2000, and later that year was released in both Canada and England. The album was a great success in De...

[Brian Andersson]'s parents were of the generation that wasn't too interested in the old country. After all, their parents had left all that behind to come to the New World to become good American citizens. Those were not the days of taking pride in one's heritage; the main thing was to fit into the new society. However, all but one of Andersson's grandparents were Irish, so the one who wasn't - his father's father Henry J. Anderson - suddenly piqued his interest. Being an historically inclined and inquisitive young man, Andersson began what he now refers to as his "detective work.
