My academic conference presentations list is about 50 including a banquet in my honor in March 2013, a Presentation Excellence Award in May 2013, and an amazing crowd reaction to my global warming theory at the World Future Society in July 2013.

This year two people nominated me for the Nobel Peace Prize by the February 1, 2016 deadline. They are actively vetting me. The choice is finalized and announced on Friday, October 7, 2016 at 11am Norway time.

NINE AREAS OF MASTERY: (without which Peace Economics and Global Warming theories would have been impossible)

9) Natural Global Warming my ninth. Used Oakridge Tennessee Trends Ninety book on warming statistics and other sources to develop Natural Global Warming paper May 7, 1991. Pinatuba volcanic eruption my first proof, June 16, 1991. Currently the only explanation for 15 year climate warming pause. Used Maxwell Taylors work to connect warming to slow economy. Klyashtorins work and my chart of 56 events prove the 54 year cycle in temperature, weather, economics, and war. 20 exact year events with 1.5 year average error for all 56 events.

8) Peace Economics my eighth, discovered Ruth Sivards work while working three State of Oregon legislative sessions as an intern and lobbyist. Became monthly columnist for Oregon Peaceworker, asked to write a statement by Congressman DeFazio, later president of Progressive Caucus. One ex-congressman in Eugene audience called Paul Samuelson to ask about my ideas. Wrote books Peace Economics in 1986, Strength Through Peace in 1989 and Real Economy in 1999. 69,000 views of 134 press releases on Expertclick.com from October 2013 to July 2016. Reached top 3% on academia.edu in 2014 and 2016, 3000 views in last thirty months. About fifty major presentations in my career, half since 2006, about 80% academic. Of 13 key correlations, 8 over .99.

7) Politics my seventh, five years Congressional District Chair and on the Executive Committee of the Democratic Party of Oregon, national convention delegate in 1984 and Electoral College nominee in 1984. I Escorted Gary Hart and Gerry Ferraro through crowd in 1984, on stage with Jesse Jackson in 1987 and Clinton in 1992, invited to Clinton Inauguration in 1993. Thirteen years Central Committee of the Democratic Party of Oregon, 1980-1993.

3) Science my third, I won the Rennselaer Polytechnic Award as best in my class in Science and Math in the leading Catholic College Prep High School in Madison, Wisconsin: Edgewood.

2) War Gaming my second, I was the highest ranking wargamer twice as far above the average as the second highest score in the International Federation of Wargaming. I met and defeated Gary Gygax, the inventor of Dungeons and Dragons. We both wrote articles for wargaming magazines, Gary more than me. For ten years I averaged 15 hours a day wargaming, started and quadrupled the Madison Wargaming Convention in four years.

1) Math is my first mastery and love, four way tie for the highest MAA high school contest in State of Wisconsin. I developed the Pythagorean formula, the Trapezoidal rule, and the Binomial expansion formula, before being taught those things, usually the prior summer.
