FDR

The book presents a framework for defining the natural evolution of economic systems based on the application of the value system framework. Borrowing from the extensive works of Dr. Clare W. Graves and the theory of Spiral Dynamics, the author builds upon his in-depth knowledge of macroeconomics, financial and real estate markets, and his decade-long experience with Graves’ successor, Dr. Don E. Beck (who wrote the forward for the book), to devise a comprehensive macro-memetic-economic model through which he reframes the United States economy through historical, present and future value systems cycles.

This course, a not for credit course offered summer of 2018 through the University of Chicago Graham School, is an open enrollment class for those who wish to engage the subject matter  without the pressure of writing papers or receiving a grade.  The participants are typically eager, experienced, and intelligent readers.  This course will look at the Great Depression, New Deal and onslaught of World War II.  At home we will read works of Richard Wright and Steinbeck's famous Grapes of Wrath.  We will also read from Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Great Speeches), and from the writings of Eleanor Roosevelt.

a proposal for county wide worker program that makes basic needs accessible to people regardless of social standing, income, ability or skill-set.

Our basic human needs have been commoditized so that we can conveniently obtain them if we have enough money. In the rush to create infrastructure for monetary gains, we have made access to modern conveniences secondary for many members of society. We have neglected to offer them access to that same infrastructure or the means to create their own if they so choose. These problems manifest themselves in different ways:
• We create more food than people have time to buy.
• We build more houses than people have access to live in.
• We have less time to create healthy social interactions because we overwork the population that has jobs.
• We have less people making the decisions on how to use common water and other environmental elements.
• We have college educated people with sufficient job skills, but not enough careers in their field in which to use them.
• The non-consensual and negatively symptomatic constructs of oppression and isolation create shorter life spans and harsh living experiences.

The solutions we are looking for live in the same space as the problems we are struggling with. My proposal for an alternative to the current social service model is so simple that it only takes a few paragraphs to explain. It takes a great deal more explanation to prove that this change for one group of people does not inherently mean harm to another group. Historically in this country progress for one group of people has always meant harm to a different group of people, often in the form of exploitative labor. As that has been the societal norm, it's reasonable for people to be wary of progress. The culture of harm is deeply ingrained in our society but very many of the systems that incite harm can be changed in our lifetime without violence or the vilification of others for their past involvement in those systems. The model I am introducing, The Correct Priority Society Model, (CPS-Model) takes into account the diversity of work ethics in this county to create work that is consensual and sustainable.

Investigation of the retina proteome during hypoxia-induced retinal neovascularization is valuable for understanding pathogenesis of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Here we employed a reproducible ion current-based MS1 quantification approach (ICB) to explore the retinal proteomic changes in early stage of ROP in a rat model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR). Retina proteins (n=4/group), which are rich in membrane proteins, were efficiently extracted by a detergent-cocktail and subjected to precipitation/on-pellet-digestion, followed by nano-LC/MS analysis on a 75-cm column with a 7-h gradient. The high reproducibility of sample preparation and chromatography separation enabled excellent peak alignment, and contributed to the superior performance of ICB over parallel label-free approaches. In this study sum-of-intensity with rejection was incorporated to determine the protein ratios. In total, 1,325 unique protein groups were quantified from rat retinas with at least 2 distinct ...

A new approach for multiplicity control (Optimal Subset) is presented. It is based on the selection of the best subset of partial (univariate) hypotheses which, when combined, produce the minimal p-value. The second step consists in multiplicity adjustment. In this work we show how to perform this new procedure in the permutation framework, choosing adequate combining functions and permutation strategies. The optimal subset approach can be very useful in exploratory studies because it performs a weak control for multiplicity which can be a valid alternative to the classic False Discovery Rate (FDR). A comparative simulation study and application to neuroimaging real data shows it is particularly useful in exploratory studies and when there is a high number of hypotheses. We also show how stepwise regression may be a special case of Optimal Subset procedures and how to adjust the p-value of the selected model taking into account the multiplicity arising from the various possible mode...

Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s first inaugural address is one of the most significant speeches in American history. It served to reassure and invigorate a population that had been drained from over two years of severe economic turmoil. It also outlined the country’s current social and economic crises of the time. Finally, it foreshadowed an upcoming revival in politics - the institution of a series of new progressive programs and socialist ideas.

In contrast with other Arctic nations, the United States has long had an ambivalent relationship with the Polar Regions. The increasing awareness of the effects of climate change, continuing public debates over the viability of Arctic resource extraction, and growing concerns over American security interests in both the Arctic and Antarctic, however, have led to a resurgence of American interest in the Polar Regions. Although these are often presented in the media as new challenges, this paper argues that this is not the case. It demonstrates when and why the American government became interested in the Polar Regions in the early 20th Century and will discuss the ways in which President Franklin Roosevelt extended American political, economic, and military influence into both poles, as well as the lasting impacts of his actions on the governance of these geopolitically significant regions.
