  Doyle Clan - The Vikings in Ireland
The traditional perception of the Vikings as marauders and plunderers of Irish monasteries is incomplete: it concentrates on the early years of Viking activity, ignoring that the Vikings eventually settled peacefully, integrating into Irish society and making a positive contribution as traders and town-dwellers.
It was a battle of Munstermen against Leinstermen with Vikings participating on both sides, the Scandinavians of Limerick and Waterford fighting on behalf of Brian Bóruma and the Scandinavian king of Dublin fighting on behalf of the king of Leinster, to whom he was related by marriage.
The traditional perception of the Vikings as merely robbers and plunderers, as negative and destructive irritants of Irish society, was derived largely from the monastic annalists.

 History of Latvia: A brief synopsis
In the 9th century the Balts came under the overlordship of the Varangians, or Vikings, but a more lasting dominance was established over them by their German-speaking neighbours to the west, who Christianized Latvia in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Latvia declared its independence on November 18, 1918, and, after a confused period of fighting, the new nation was recognized by Soviet Russia and Germany in 1920.
This feudalistic organization was not a happy one, its three components--the Teutonic Order, the archbishopric of Riga, and the free city of Riga--being in constant dispute with one another.

 Scout.com: Vikings to Pick Seventh
It could have been much worse for the Vikings in the final weekend of the season as far as where their first draft slot would be.
While the first-round order won't be officially announced until after tonight's game between the 49ers and Rams, VU has determined that the Vikings will pick seventh regardless of the outcome of that game.
Hopefully this time around, the Vikings won't have a long holdout with their first pick, since they can't use the excuse that his "draft slot" from the previous year was out of line -- it's their slot again.

 Collapse - Jared Diamond - Penguin Group (USA)
Moving from the Polynesian cultures on Easter Island to the flourishing American civilizations of the Anasazi and the Maya and finally to the doomed Viking colony on Greenland, Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe.
Norse Greenland is just one of many past societies that collapsed or vanished, leaving behind monumental ruins such as those that Shelley imagined in his poem “Ozymandias.” By collapse, I mean a drastic decrease in human population size and/or political/economic/social complexity, over a considerable area, for an extended time.
Another comparative experiment was possible in the North Atlantic, where medieval Vikings from Norway colonized six islands or land masses differing in suitability for agriculture, ease of trade contact with Norway, and other input variables, and also differing in outcome (from quick abandonment, to everybody dead after 500 years, to still thriving after 1,200 years).

Mail order houses, summer camps, and early motor car garages (later adapted as houses) all became means of establishing new footholds in the area.
Mail order houses proved to be unusually popular in Burlington, primarily because the town in the early 20th century lacked sawmills and ready access to large stands of timber because most of the land was farmed, converted to fields and meadows, and had been sawmilled in previous centuries.
The belief that the house was a Sears mail order house is further supported by the fact that it sits upon a foundation of "stone-faced concrete block" similar to that which was made by concrete block making machines also sold by the Sears, Roebuck and Company mail order house at this time.
