5] Iceland faced a financial crisis in 2008-09 when the top three banks in the country collapsed because of their failure to refinance their short-term debt and the run on deposits by their customers. The crisis involved a fall in the Iceland's currency value, and stock markets losing over 90% of their market capitalization. Iceland's stock index OMX Iceland All-Share Index GI (OMXIGI) with a base value of 1000 as on base date of December 31, 1997, touched a peak of 3502.48 on July 18, 2007, and fell to a low of 165.95 on April 01, 2009. Several rating agencies downgraded Iceland's sovereign debt to below investment grade.

6] WK Kellogg Foundation partnered with IDEO to engage several stakeholders like parents, teachers, and schools that could impact children's elementary education in the US. The partnership between IDEO and WK Kellogg Foundation resulted in reports including Tangible Steps Toward Tomorrow; New Designs for Early Education, Ages 0-8; which helped the foundation in improving the elementary education and children development initiatives.
