  In his book, Rasmus Rasmussen provides a full account of the Viking's [1893] journey from Norway to Chicago from a crew-member's point of view. The trip was not without peril and hardship. Their accommodations were crude. The weather, at times, threatened their very lives. Most cities rolled out the red carpet to meet them, but one rolled out the paddy wagon. All together, an informative journal and a delightful read, and one that compels reflection and awe of the exploits of our Viking ancestors. - Paul A. Anderson, Honorary Norwegian Consul General 
  Rasmussen's diary recounts the historic journey made by twelve courageous seamen aboard Viking and includes his personal experiences during and after the Fair [1893 Chicago World's Fair]. Viking is the first Viking ship to sail in nearly 1,000 years, showing the world that Leif Erikson could have reached the New World almost 500 years before Columbus. 
  The Addendum continues the story of Viking and brings the reader up to date on the most recent preservation accomplishments. - Friends of the Viking Ship, NFP

  After a couple of years, I’ve finally finished this book. It contains a sixth and concluding part of the story. To think I only intended to write a single part, mainly because I was big on writing short stories back then. Anyway, I do hope you enjoy this sci-fi story as much as I enjoyed writing it. 
   
  This book is intended for adults only. All characters depicted are 18 or older.

  Threats - Intimidating Someone...

  Threats are an inherent part of human interaction and can manifest in various forms. At their core, threats are attempts to instill fear or assert power by creating the perception of potential harm, whether physical, emotional, or psychological. The nature of threats is complex because they exist on a spectrum, ranging from subtle and covert forms of intimidation to overt and aggressive expressions of force. Understanding the nature of threats is essential, as it allows individuals and communities to recognize and respond to them effectively. 
  A threat can be defined as any statement, action, or behavior that creates a sense of fear or danger in another person. It involves the intention to coerce, control, or manipulate someone by presenting the possibility of harm. Threats do not necessarily have to be acted upon for them to have a significant impact; the mere perception of harm can be enough to evoke a response. For instance, the threat of violence—whether verbal, physical, or implied—can lead to significant emotional distress, anxiety, and a shift in one’s behavior, even in the absence of any actual harm being done. This highlights the psychological aspect of threats: the fear and tension they generate are often more powerful than the harm that might actually occur. 
  Threats can be both explicit and implicit. Explicit threats are direct and clear in their intent, such as saying “If you do this, I will hurt you” or “You will pay for this.” These types of threats leave little room for misinterpretation and often provoke an immediate response. Implicit threats, on the other hand, are more subtle and may not directly articulate the intended harm. They may involve hints, body language, or situations that suggest harm without overtly stating it. An example of an implicit threat might be a comment like, “You wouldn’t want something bad to happen, would you?” which leaves the recipient uncertain but still fearful of what may follow.

  FROM THE FOUNDER OF THE GLOBAL 1000 HOURS OUTSIDE MOVEMENT 
   
  The average American now spends just four to seven minutes outside each day, while we spend four to seven hours using devices with screens. Our physical, mental, emotional, and relational health has suffered--and so has that of our children.  
   
  But there is a solution: get outside!  
   
  A homeschooling mother of five and the founder of the global 1000 Hours Outside movement, Ginny Yurich explains how we got to this point--and how to get back to a healthier, more engaging relationship with the world outside.  
   
  With a mom's heart and an educator's eye, Ginny shows you 
  ● the importance of unstructured play for children 
  ● what boredom actually contributes to our brains 
  ● the value of sunlight and social play 
  ● the role of play in lifelong learning 
  ● how to make time outside more attractive than screen time 
   
  If you want your kids to grow up curious, resilient, and with a sense of adventure and community, it's essential to make outside play a priority. This book shows you why and how.
