Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, he was a member of the Althing in 1914-1916 and 1920, and following Iceland's independence from Denmark in 1918 he acted as minister to Denmark in 1920-1924 and 1926-1940.

Alma Shealey Adams (born May 27, 1946) is an American politician who represents North Carolina's 12th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives.
Adams served as a member of the North Carolina General Assembly representing the state's 58th House district in Guilford County from her appointment in April 1994 until her election to Congress.
She was succeeded by Ralph C. Johnson.
A college administrator and art professor from Greensboro, Adams is known for the many distinctive hats that she wears (she claims to own 900).
Adams won the 2014 special election North Carolina's 12th congressional district to fill the vacancy created after Mel Watt resigned.
By winning, she became the 100th woman serving in the 113th Congress.
She won election to a full two-year term at the same time.
Adams was born on May 27, 1946 in High Point, North Carolina.
She graduated from West Side High School in Newark, New Jersey, in 1964.
Adams received her B.S. degree in 1969 and her M.S. degree in 1972, both from North Carolina A&T University and both in Art Education.
She continued her studies to receive her Ph.D. in Art Education/Multicultural Education from Ohio State University in 1981.
State legislature
She was appointed to the North Carolina House District 26 seat in 1994 to replace Herman Gist, who died in office.
The district is in Guilford County and includes most of southeastern Greensboro.
She had previously said she was going to challenge Gist for that seat in the Democratic primary that year.
After being appointed to the seat, Adams faced conservative businessman and retired engineer O. C. Stafford in the Democratic primary.
Adams won the primary election.
Adams then won a full term in the general election, beating Republican Roger G. Coffer.
She had a rematch with Stafford in the general elections of 1996 and 1998 (Stafford ran as a Republican).
Adams won both elections.
In 2000 Adams did not have an opponent in the Democratic primary; she defeated Republican real estate broker Jim Rumley in the general election.
In 2002, after redistricting, Adams' seat was changed from the 26th district to the 58th district.
Her only challenger that year was Libertarian lawyer David Williams, who withdrew from the race in October because he was moving to Colorado.
His name still appeared on the ballot, but Adams won with around 86% of the vote.
Adams has been challenged for her seat for many years by Republican legal assistant and party activist Olga Morgan Wright.
Wright has run for the seat held by Adams in nearly every election since 2004.
Adams defeated Wright and Libertarian challenger Walter Sperko with 66% of the vote in 2004.
In the next election Adams had no competition in the primary; she defeated Wright in the general election 66%–34%.
In 2008, the year that Barack Obama was elected president, Democratic voters had a high rate of participation, and Adams defeated Wright 71.35%–28.65%
She was vice-chair of the Government Committee in the state House.
Previously she was chair of the Appropriations Committee as well as vice-chair of the Commerce, Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee.
In 2010, Adams was challenged in the Democratic primary by Ralph C. Johnson.
She defeated Johnson with 76.56% of the vote.
Adams next faced Republican Darin H. Thomas in the general election, beating him 63.15%–36.85%.
In 2012, Adams did not have any primary opposition and defeated Olga Wright in the general election by a margin of 79.86%–20.14%.
In April 2013, Mel Watt, the only congressman to have served the 12th District since its creation in 1993, was appointed as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
Adams ran in the special election to replace him, and won.
She was sworn in on November 12, 2014, to complete the remaining seven weeks of Watt's term.
After swearing in, Adams became the 100th female member of the congressional class, beating the previous record of 99.
Adams formally filed paperwork to run in both the Democratic primary for a full two-year term in the 114th Congress and the special election for the balance of Watt's 11th term.
Adams won re-election in 2018.
Analysts thought that Adams was at a geographic disadvantage in the five-way primary for both the special and regular elections (held on the same day).
She is from Greensboro, but the bulk of the district's population is in Charlotte.
However, with three candidates from Charlotte in the race splitting that region's vote; Adams won both primaries with approximately 44 percent of the vote, a few thousand votes over the 40 percent threshold needed to avoid a runoff.
She faced Republican Vince Coakley, a former television and radio broadcaster from Matthews, in both the general and special elections, which were held on the same day in November.
The 12th was a heavily Democratic district with a majority-black voting population and a Cook Partisan Voting Index of D+26, and Adams was favored in both the special and general election.
She won both.
Adams is the second woman of color to represent North Carolina in the House.
The first was Eva Clayton, who represented much of eastern North Carolina from 1992 to 2002.
Committee on Agriculture (Vice Chair)
Subcommittee on Nutrition, Oversight, and Department Operations
Committee on Education and Labor
Subcommittee on Workforce Protections (Chair)
Subcommittee on Diversity and Inclusion
Adams has been a professor of art at Bennett College in Greensboro, as well as the director of the Steel Hall Art Gallery.
In 1990, Adams helped co-found, with Eva Hamlin Miller, the African American Atelier, an organization established to increase awareness and appreciation for visual arts and cultures of African Americans.
Adams is divorced and has two children.
She is noted for the many different hats that she wears.

He used to be a professional football player.
Since 2019, he is the U.S. Representative for .
That district covers the northeastern corner of Dallas.
It also has many of its northeastern suburbs such as Garland, Richardson, the Park Cities and Rowlett.
When he was a football player, he was a linebacker who played for the Tennessee Titans in the National Football League (NFL).
Allred stopped playing football to go back to school to get a law degree.
He received his law degree from the University of California, Berkeley.
He then worked in the Obama administration and the U.S. Attorney's office.
Allred went to Hillcrest High School in Dallas, and then to Baylor University.
He played college football at Baylor; he was a linebacker.
In December 2005, Allred graduated from Baylor with a B.A. degree in history.
After his football career, Allred went to law school.
He graduated from UC Berkeley School of Law in 2014.
Then, Allred was a special assistant in the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of General Counsel.
After that, Allred worked as a lawyer at the Perkins Coie law firm, where he worked on voting rights cases.
He also served as the lawyer for different political candidates and advocacy groups.
Politico, a political news source, described him as a "civil rights attorney."
On April 21, 2017, Allred said he would challenge the current Representative from his district, Republican Pete Sessions, in the 2018 election.
Allred one the most votes in the Democratic primary, but did not get more than 50 percent; he won by 20 points.
Two of the other candidates also used to work in the Obama administration.
In the May 22 runoff election, Allred beat Lewisville businesswoman Lillian Salerno, receiving 69.5% of the vote.
Allred then competed with Sessions for the 32nd District seat.
As of the November 2016 election, the seat was considered a "swing district" because Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton received marginally more votes than Donald Trump even as Sessions, a Republican, was reelected with no major-party opposition.
Allred has described himself as a moderate Democrat.
On November 6, 2018, Allred was elected to the United States House of Representatives for the 32nd district of Texas.
Allred's victory was considered an upset because Sessions has been in Congress since 1997 and has represented the 32nd District since 2003.
Allred became the second person to represent this district since it was created in 2003, and the first Democrat.
Sessions used to represent the nearby 5th District, but had switched after the district maps were changed.
In February 2019, Allred endorsed Julian Castro in the 2020 presidential race.
Castro, like Allred, is from Texas.
Castro used to be the Housing and Urban Development Secretary.
Allred was elected in November 2018 as co-president of the 116th Congressional Freshman Class.
The other president was Representative Haley Stevens of Michigan.

They are in the Midwestern United States, mostly in north-central Kansas and a small part of south-central Nebraska.
The Republican River, Saline River, Solomon River, and Smoky Hill River all go east through the Smoky Hills.
This is because they start in the High Plains.
Starting in the 1940s, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation dammed these rivers at points in the Smoky Hills for flood control and irrigation reasons.
This created many reservoirs.
These include Cedar Bluff Reservoir, Kanopolis Lake, Kirwin Reservoir, Waconda Lake, Webster Reservoir, and Wilson Lake.
Land in the Smoky Hills is mostly used for farming.
The region doesn't have very many people.
There are cities that are small, but there are no big cities.
The two biggest cities in the Smoky Hills region are Salina, Kansas and Hays, Kansas.

Carnegie Library
The old library was getting too many books, so they needed to build a bigger library.
They had 6,000 volumes.
$1 per year was not enough money to build a new library.
One resident, Peter Emery, asked philanthropist Andrew Carnegie to give money for a new library.
Carnegie said yes, and he gave $27,500 for a new library.
He said he would only give this money if Lawrence made the new library free to use, and if they spent $2,750 per year to maintain it.
It was put to a vote, and the city voted yes by a lot.

Matthew Wade Stairs (born February 27, 1968) is a Canadian former professional baseball outfielder, first baseman, and designated hitter, who holds the record for most pinch-hit home runs in Major League Baseball (MLB) history  with 23.
His pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning of Game 4 in the 2008 National League Championship Series off the Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Jonathan Broxton was called one of the most memorable home runs in Phillies history.
He was the second Canadian-born player ever to hit more than thirty-five home runs in a season, and only the second to hit more than 25 home runs and drive in more than 100 runs in back-to-back seasons.
He ranks either first or second in power hitting categories for Canadian major leaguers.
Stairs also holds the all-time MLB record of home runs hit as a pinch-hitter with 23.
His ability to pinch hit made him a valuable asset to several teams and earned him the nickname "Matt Stairs – Professional Hitter".
Stairs, Larry Walker, Justin Morneau, Jason Bay, and Joey Votto are the only Canadian MLB players to hit at least 200 career home runs.
On February 4, 2015, Stairs was elected to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
Aaron Ryan Rowand (born August 29, 1977) is an American former professional baseball center fielder in Major League Baseball.
Philadelphia Phillies (2006–2007)
On May 11, 2006, in the first inning of a game versus the New York Mets, Rowand made a spectacular play by smashing into the center field fence of Citizens Bank Park face first at full speed in order to run down a deep fly ball off the bat of Xavier Nady with the bases loaded, that would otherwise have scored three runs.
Rowand suffered a broken nose and severe lacerations to his face.
The Phillies won the game, 2-0, in a rain-shortened 5-inning game.
He underwent seven hours of surgery to repair the nose, and was placed on the 15-day disabled list.
He returned to the starting lineup on May 27, 2006.
On August 21, 2006, in a game against the Chicago Cubs, Rowand collided with second baseman Chase Utley and broke his ankle.
He was on the disabled list for the remainder of the regular season.
In 2007, a contract year, proved to be Rowand's breakthrough, both statistically and in recognition around baseball.
He finished with a batting average of .309, 27 home runs, 89 runs batted in, and 6 stolen bases.
On July 10, 2007, Rowand was selected to the 2007 MLB All-Star Game in San Francisco, for his first All-Star appearance.
In the bottom of the 9th, with the bases loaded, two outs, and the AL leading 5-4, Rowand flew out to Alex Ríos in right field to end the game helping give the American League home field advantage in the 2007 World Series.
He earned his first Gold Glove Award for his outfield play that year, including 11 outfield assists and only 2 errors all season.

After securing a long-term spot as a member of the Phillies starting rotation in his rookie season, he made large strides in the 2007 Major League Baseball season and won the Phillies' top major league pitcher award.

After the 2008 season, Hamels signed a three-year contract with the Phillies.
His statistics declined over the next two seasons, struggling through a tumultuous 2009 campaign and somewhat bouncing back in 2010, however still not approaching his 2008 numbers.
Over the next few seasons, Hamels was joined by fellow All-Star pitchers including Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, and Roy Oswalt and flourished with them, putting up some of his top career seasons before suffering from poor run support in 2013.
With the decline of his aging teammates, the team missed the postseason for the next few years, but Hamels remained one of the Phillies' consistent stars.
Hamels was traded to the Texas Rangers in 2015, and he subsequently sparked their run to the AL West title that season.
He spent parts of four seasons with the Rangers, including an All-Star season in 2016, before being traded to the Cubs in 2018.
