As an outbreak of Ebola virus in West Africa continues to spread, health workers in Sierra Leone are risking their lives in the effort to contain the deadly disease.
KENEMA, Sierra Leone, 6 August 2014 – The Ebola Unit at Kenema District Hospital has become what could be described as the 'Ground Zero' of Sierra Leone's Ebola outbreak.
|© UNICEF Sierra Leone/2014/Dunlop
|Sister Nancy Yoko talks to a colleague in the isolation area in the Ebola Treatment Centre in Kenema, Sierra Leone.
There are 45 Ebola patients in the hospital, which is packed to capacity, and more beds are likely to be filled before they start emptying. As one health official commented, "We can't send anybody away – this is where you come if you have Ebola symptoms. If we have to, we will add more beds."
In the past week, there have been more than 10 deaths in the hospital, and about five new cases admitted daily.
Ebola spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids of infected people or indirect contact with contaminated environments. There is no known cure or preventive vaccine, but early diagnosis and medical attention can increase the chances of survival.
Fallen colleagues
Behind the ominous chicken-wire fence and white plastic sheeting that surround the centre are the unsung heroes of the response effort: the health workers who are risking their lives to do their jobs.

|Health workers take a break outside the Ebola Treatment Centre in Kenema.
Since the first cases emerged in Kenema District in March, the hospital has lost six health workers to the disease. A week ago, Sister Mbalu Fonnie, who was in charge of the nursing team at the treatment centre, passed away after contracting the virus two weeks earlier. Sister Fonnie was a mentor, a leader and a friend to many.
Sister Nancy Yoko wells up when she speaks of her colleague Sister Fonnie. "She is the reason I keep coming here every day. She motivated us. We all miss her so much," she says. "But I will keep coming for her and all the other colleagues who have fallen ill to Ebola."
"She taught me a lot, even when she was on her sick bed she told me how to do things, she never stopped helping us," says Nancy.
A few days ago, Dr. Sheik Umar Khan, the only Sierra Leonean virologist at the forefront of the fight against Ebola in Kenema, also passed away after testing positive for the virus.
Increased risk
Given the number of staff cases and the high dropout rate of nurses unwilling to risk exposure to the disease, there is an overwhelming shortage of health workers at the centre. "I have not had a day off since this problem started three months ago," says Sister Nancy, who, like most of her colleagues, has been on 12-hour shifts every day.
|© UNICEF NYHQ/2014/Davies
|Members of a UNICEF-supported social mobilization team walk on a street in Freetown, Sierra Leone, carrying posters with information on Ebola virus.
Under such conditions, those on the front line are in even greater danger of becoming infected. When used properly, protection suits worn by staff who come in contact with patients provide an effective shield against the virus. But the suits are uncomfortable, with two pairs of protective gloves, a mask and boots creating a furnace in Sierra Leone's tropical temperatures. When health care workers have been on the ward for long hours, they become tired and less vigilant. They make mistakes and increase the risk of contracting the virus.
Trained to sacrifice
Despite their brave efforts and unwavering commitment, these nurses are also subjected to the stigma and fear that have characterized the epidemic since it first arrived in the country. "We are known as the 'Ebola nurses'. No one wants to come close to us," Sister Nancy says. "The nurses in the general ward won't talk to us. Even our families are scared they will catch the virus from us."
Nonetheless, Sister Nancy continues to show up for work every day. "I don't feel afraid. I'm a nurse. I'm doing my job," she says. "We are trained to sacrifice."
Along with assisting in coordination efforts, UNICEF is collaborating with the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, World Health Organization and other partners to support the medical response and to strengthen social mobilization and messages around prevention to reduce the spread of this deadly disease.
To date, 214 people have been confirmed dead out of a total of 591 cases, while 161 have survived and have been discharged from treatment facilities.

In this article the problem of legal maintenance of modern sphere of social protection of population rises, contradictions which were formed at legislation formation in describing field are marked. The author notices that to the middle of 90th years in the Russian Federation the system of legislative regulation of economic and social situation of separate objects of social protection has been put. The given norms established system in the field of social services for citizens, and also realization of the state system of social guarantees. The norms directed on social protection of lower-income strata (pensioners, invalids have made, families with children) became the main part in formation of the new legislation.
It is noticed as lacks that laws have been constructed on the uniform sample, and needy citizens and families became addressees of the help. In a number of laws the circle of addressees of the social help is limited. Streamlining of the given process was promoted by modification of the social legislation of Russia.
However the given situation has bared also contradictions. In particular, in new laws there was no regulation of rendering of kinds of social protection of population, there were no instructions on the competence of each level of management of the social protection organizations. Many positions of the new legislation demanded the coordination as variety of directions of joint activity in social protection sphere has been carried to subjects of joint conducting between the federal center and regions, till the moment of change of laws. In the developed legal situation "conflicts" when old norms will conflict to the new legislation haven't been excluded.

The Brummett twins, Decatur MacArthur
How do you pick between the two dynamic players? Last year, Armon (18.6) and Amir (17.5) combined for 36 points per game as MacArthur went 17-12 (11-7 CS8). And if they are able to take a fraction of the leap they made from last season to this season on the football field, the Generals will be primed to contend for a conference title. The two also combined for 10.6 rebounds per contest and 104 3s.
Anthony Fairlee, Southeast
As coach Lawrence Thomas often refers, Southeast is usually a team full of guards. So it's no wonder that this junior forward has always seemed much larger than his 6-foot-4 frame. He had his coming-out party as a freshman in the 2016 City Tournament as the Spartans went 3-0 and he helped Southeast get to the Class 3A Springfield Supersectional. Last year, he averaged 10.9 points and 6.6 rebounds, but will need to improve both.
Cardell McGee, Lanphier
This is undeniably his team now. There has been no question of McGee's talent in previous seasons leading the Lions, but with the graduation of several important pieces from last season's Class 3A state tournament appearance squad, McGee will now take on a much larger leadership role. Coach Blake Turner will lean heavily on the senior to improve upon his 13.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game averages from 2016-17. There isn't much McGee can't do.
Jaden Snodgrass, Sacred Heart-Griffin
Not many freshmen were called upon last season through the Central State Eight Conference, but Snodgrass was from the start. Now that he's learned the rigors of a varsity season in a physical conference, he bulked up, adding 10-15 pounds in the offseason, which will only benefit him and, in turn, the Cyclones. He is SHG's leading returning scorer with 7.0 points per game. And he showed good poise under duress of intense defensive pressure.
Karl Wright, Lanphier
Can the 6-6 junior player with unlimited bounce in his step springboard to another level for the Lions? Sure, McGee will be the face of the team and carry much of the expectations, but if Wright reaches even near the potential that has excited coach Blake Turner for three seasons now, he will give the Lions an incredible 1-2 punch with McGee. Several CS8 coaches look for Wright to improve on his 3.0 ppg/3.7 rpg averages.

Should I stop Reddy Fox?
Posted: Thu Sep 25, 2008 1:49 pm
Hi! I'm using LHFHG for a Kindergartener (age 5 1/2) and two 1st graders (ages 6 and 7). We are REALLY enjoying the entire thing and they love doing school. But they are never able to answer the questions from me reading Reddy Fox. They are listening well, it seems. But they just don't seem to get it at all. My 3rd and 4th graders love to listen in (they are doing BHFHG) to the story as well. And, of course, they totally get it. But the younger ones can't answer a single question without me practially re-reading then explaining it to them in much more simple and direct language. Does this mean they are not ready? They do look forward to the readings, and will listen well. Is this something that they will get better at in time? I know for a fact my 7 year old daughter has expressive and receptive language delays, so that may be her problem - that she literally does not comprehend. Any advice for me? Should I just keep plodding along and directing their answers, or stop for now? They are fitting in perfectly in every other aspect of LHFHG.

Happy Thursday from RDFA. For those of you in Cincinnati and areas north, stay warm today. For those reading this from much farther south, be thankful that you aren't here. With wind chill approaching 20 below zero this morning, the word freezing will be on the tip of the tongue for many of us.
You likely heard about the major security breach at Anthem which occurred in late January. Cyber attackers gained access to Anthem's IT system and obtained personal information - names, birth dates, addresses, Social Security numbers, and more - and the estimated number of people affected could be as high as 80 million.
One of the suggestions that Anthem has posted is the utilization of a credit monitoring service. We have long suggested to clients that they periodically run their credit report at https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action so they can review what is showing up. This site allows you to download your credit report from the three credit rating services: Experian, TransUnion and Equifax.
There is another option that I have personally put in place. Rather than just reviewing your credit for potential problems, you can also consider putting a credit "freeze" in place. This makes it where additional credit cannot be opened under a persons Social Security number. It costs $5 per service, per Social Security number, but it gives the piece of mind that additional credit cannot be obtained fraudulently.
Please note that if you later want to establish a new credit based account (credit card, car loan, home purchase) you will need to re-open the frozen credit at all three agencies. Again, you will be hit with the $5 fee at each location and for each Social Security number. It's crucial that you maintain the pass code which is assigned so you can contact the agencies to unfreeze the credit.
Should this be something of interest to you, here are the websites for freezing credit at each credit report agency. Please note that you'll have to input your Social Security number and other data to be able to make the "freeze" request, or you can utilize their phone system to do the same.
Should you have any questions about this, or anything else, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Take care,

New York, NY Nuveen Real Estate has hired two portfolio managers for its office and industrial sector strategies. The new hires – Chad Phillips and Brian Tilton – report to Rahul Idnani, Nuveen Real Estate's global COO and U.S. head of portfolio management.
"These new hires round out a year-long build-out of a talented portfolio management team to oversee the platform's series of open-end sector funds," said Idnani. "Phillips and Tilton will partner with the office and industrial investment teams, respectively, to deliver a highly curated sector strategy."
The hires follow that of Nikita Rao in August 2018 to help lead the firm's multifamily housing sector strategy. Nuveen Real Estate then launched its U.S. Cities Multifamily Fund in February 2019 with an $850 million seed portfolio.
With the new hires in place, Nuveen Real Estate plans to launch two complementary Funds within its Global Resilient Series later this year – The U.S. Cities Office Fund and the U.S. Cities Industrial Fund. The U.S. Series provides investors the opportunity to customize their allocations to the four main property types – multifamily, retail, office and industrial – through sector-focused vehicles.
Nuveen Real Estate's Global Resilient Series offers core investment funds which aim to capitalize on long-term, structural real estate themes and demographic megatrends by investing in dynamic and resilient cities. The series is designed for diversification, income and long-term capital growth, leveraging the firm's global reach and local execution. In addition to the four U.S. sector funds, the series includes the European Cities Fund and the Asia-Pacific Cities Fund, allowing investors to optimize their global real estate exposure.
Phillips has over 18 years of investment experience in real estate and joins from Guggenheim Real Estate where he oversaw the firm's investment strategies, acquisitions, financings and dispositions as a portfolio manager. Phillips holds a B.A. from Davidson College and a Master's of Real Estate from Georgetown University. Phillips is based in the firm's Charlotte office.
Tilton has over 16 years of investment experience and joins from Canada Pension Plan Investment Board where he led its U.S. industrial team and was responsible for investment strategy, sourcing, underwriting and structuring programmatic joint ventures and equity investments. Tilton holds a B.B.A from the University of Wisconsin and an MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Tilton is based in the firm's New York office.
Nuveen Real Estate invests in the office sector on a global basis on behalf of a range of clients and mandates. The firm has specialist office experts across all the key gateway markets with over 323 assets and $36 billon in office assets worldwide. The firm's U.S. office holdings total approximately $25 billion across both equity and debt investments in the sector.
The firm has been investing in the industrial sector since 1953 and currently manages approximately $11.2 billion of industrial properties globally. The firm's U.S. industrial holdings total approximately $9 billion across both equity and debt investments in the sector.

An interview with Gunther Hauk, originally published in the Fall 2017 issue of Biodynamics. (Become a member now and receive immediate online access.)
By Karen Davis-Brown
In 1996, Gunther Hauk read the New York Times article called "Hush of the Hives." The varroa mite was rampant in honeybee colonies, and the solutions to the crisis were being left to chemical companies. Knowing that the mites were only part of the problems facing the honeybees, he gave his first "Organic Beekeeping" workshop at Hawthorne Valley Farm one month later. To him, it was clear that agricultural practices with their monocultures and reliance on poisons were severely weakening the bees, leaving them vulnerable to a host of parasites, viruses, and bacteria. But he also knew, through his many years of experience with sustainable beekeeping methods, that the conventional methods developed in the last hundred fifty years were also responsible for the plight of the honeybee. Their single, openly stated purpose was to make beekeeping into a profitable business. Unfortunately, most hobby beekeepers adopted these methods without questioning their effect on the bees themselves.
Gunther observed that, at that time, "no one was talking about changing beekeeping practices as a way to address this crisis—the recycled and plastic comb foundations, artificially raising queens out of worker larvae, feeding sugar and corn syrup, trucking colonies all over the country…. He started writing the book Toward Saving the Honeybee, published in 2002, which was the first call in this country to start shifting the discussion... and a grassroots movement began."
This grassroots movement has grown in numbers, understanding, and connection over the last fifteen years, and Gunther's leadership continues to be foundational to its progress. He sees the issues manifested in the bee crisis as reflecting those in the larger society. He stated that "it's all about attitude and relationship, among all the kingdoms of nature. The dominant paradigm is that it is ok to exploit other beings, instead of asking, as Parsifal did, 'What do you need to be healthy?' It is clear that a change of mind and heart is needed." Speaking specifically of agriculture, he noted that, "when the industrial paradigm was imposed on agricultural practices, farmers began to work against, instead of with, nature. The specialization, independence of location, and economic efficiencies, such as getting as big as possible, all work for factories but do not create healthy soil, plants, and animals. Nature's laws––diversity, limit to size and dependence on location––are diametrically opposed to the laws governing industry."
In his teaching over the years, Gunther has touched the lives of many people, to help them see, in working with honeybees, what is available and possible beyond the current paradigm. In addition to the language and images he offers in his writings and workshops, he found that "the beauty, care, and order" of working with bees helped people move beyond the question, "What can I get?" to "How can I be a steward and caretaker?"
Since 2006, Gunther and his wife Vivian have worked together to establish Spikenard Honeybee Sanctuary. Founded in biodynamic practice, and dedicated to training and research, Spikenard has been a sanctuary for nature and human beings as well as the honeybee. Located in Floyd, Virginia, Spikenard offers a variety of educational opportunities in beekeeping and biodynamics for all ages, and draws students from all parts of the world and all walks of life. Gunther's research in recent years—assisted by Vivian and Program Director/Farm Manager Alex Tuchman––has focused on "warmth and scent" and the relationship of bees to the larger landscape. Along with beautiful color photos and a thoroughly updated discussion of the current state of the honeybee crisis, this research is presented in the newly expanded and revised edition of Toward Saving the Honeybee, published this spring by the Biodynamic Association and available through SteinerBooks.
When asked what role the biodynamic community could play in supporting this paradigm shift and the health of the honeybee, Gunther insisted that, first and foremost, "every farm, orchard, and garden should have its own colonies of the precious honeybee." He also indicated that the furthering of training and research is imperative for the growing need and demand that began with the grassroots movement over the last fifteen years.
In closing, Gunther reflected that, "A crisis, medically speaking, is a turning point—the change in direction of an illness. To achieve a turning point, we always need to make critical decisions: do we continue in the same direction and head toward even bigger crises, or can we change? This crisis, like all others, is a blessing in disguise, an opportunity. But, as Einstein said, it can't be solved in the same mindset that created it. Our task is to challenge the still dominant mindset and work to shift the industrial paradigm in agriculture to one that supports life."
Gunther Hauk has been a teacher, lecturer, biodynamic gardener, and beekeeper for more than forty years. He co-founded the Pfeiffer Center in Chestnut Ridge, New York in 1996, and, together with his wife Vivian, began Spikenard Farm, Inc. in 2006, a non-profit honeybee sanctuary. What is now the Spikenard Honeybee Sanctuary is located in Floyd, Virginia. Over these decades, Gunther has given many workshops on the successful use of biodynamic principles in gardening and naturally harmonious beekeeping methods throughout the US and Canada. The revised and expanded edition of Toward Saving the Honeybee can be purchased from SteinerBooks.

Leadership Thought #12
The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.
— Ray Kroc
One Response to "Leadership Thought #12"
Ray Kroc's comment closely resembles a philosophy I "grill and drill" my children on all the time …
I repeatedly let them know that they are a direct reflection of who they hang out with. People will judge their standards by the standards of their friends and others they align themselves with.
I have a strong conviction about the Laws of Association and hopefully my children will adopt that conviction.

If you search the Internet using this phrase computer identity theft statistics I believe youll be greatly surprised and even a degree of fear. The reason identity theft is hailed because the fastest growing crime in America. Brought on by government banks as well as some corporate marketplace which have lost critical buyer private information — account information and bank card numbers. Lately a laptop pc was stolen from the Veterans Administration holding 26.five million names along with private private facts records — this is now an nearly everyday news story. Even currently the VA has now supplied these persons free credit monitoring for any year. But will this genuinely assist
So as a single can see from researching computer identity theft statistics identity theft is no little unimportant crime that impacts everyday persons. It has been mentioned you will find about 13 instances of identity theft occurring just about every minute of the day and this equates to close to seven million-plus people today impacted annually. Income insurance statistics A lot of people are claiming that the figure could reach around ten million. It has also been said that the average person will expertise identity theft close to seven times in some type or a different through hisher life time.
Seemingly the greatest dilemma should be to get persons to take identity theft seriously. It looks that we as a individuals are in a mode of just going about our own small business and being somewhat apathetic about events taking spot. We pay extra attention to the value of gas as well as our social life than what exactly is taking location around us especially in relation to identity theft. I need to admit I too initially had not taken the subject of identity theft very critical but fortunately for me anything happened that triggered me to transform my interest and to discovered the truth about this scourge.
There is certainly an write-up inside the June 2006 situation of Readers Digest that says this- When it comes to high-tech fraud a single on the most typical scams is phishing. The undesirable guys who do this send out bogus e-mails in hopes of scaring enticing or just tricking the nave into giving up private information and facts at fake sites that resemble those of genuine monetary institutions as well as other commercial outfits. Then it goes on to say in a different section- Another ripe target for identity thieves use is- the wireless networks that an increasing number of pc users are establishing at house. The write-up has a great deal more to say around the subject of identity theft. I very advise you obtain a copy and read it.
The subsequent query we have to face is do we carry on to ignore the laptop or computer identity theft statistics and go about our everyday small business or do we search for approaches to prevent identity theft thats if one particular might be located Or do we acquire identity theft insurance and just hope for the best But then we need to face another query will insurance alone supply us with the required protection The answer must be no Not surprisingly one could often go hire an lawyer at about 200-400 per hour thats if 1 has that kind of capital to expend. If insurance can not guard us and we are able to not afford a higher priced lawyer then is there any real identity theft protection offered a single that the typical person can afford And also the answer for this question is yes theres

Hello everyone, and welcome back to this week's report! A lot of fun happening down here in Islamorada and the Upper Keys, as the fishing this week has been really good! Early in the week the tuna bite was on fire on the Marathon hump. All the blackfin tunas you wanted on the live bait, jigs, and troll. Some really nice fish on the live bait up to 30 pounds with around a 20 pound average all around. Some Mahi have been showing up pretty good as well, so I'd say its just about time to start targeting these guys. The terns are showing up in better numbers, and the sargasso weed is lining up pretty good, so its about to go off! The swordfish grounds were a little slow, as we fished for them for a few hours one day and lost one little guy next to the boat. A few boats that did go had some other bites and caught one or two combined, but no great shakes. I'm going tomorrow, so I will let you know next week how we did. The wreck fishing is picking up with the muttons starting to bite really good. The Groupers are chewing as well, so let's hope they keep biting after May 1st. The reef bite is absolutely insane right now, as the JUMBO yellowtails are swarming! Some of the biggest fish I have ever caught here in the Keys, and I actually caught my personal best at 6 pounds! We caught around 25 fish this week in the 4.5 to 5 pound mark, and it is just an incredible fishery right now. I would definitely recommend giving this a shot for sure. The Permit are thick on the wrecks offshore, so this is another option if you like these guys. Beautiful fish and what a fight they put up on the light tackle! The weather man says that the weekend is going to be windy with south to southeast winds 20-25 knots, so plan on it being a bit rough offshore. Well, that is it for this week! Have a great weekend everyone, and be safe out there!
Tight Lines,
Capt. James Chappell

Hello all! This week we are chatting to Jack Whitby and Alex Wedlock whom together, come under several umbrellas, the duo Acoustic Toothbrush; the five piece band Happy Accident, the punk/grunge group Sister Sadie, but also as perfectly competent solo artists.
They are perfect examples of the modern musician; freelancer; experimentalist who is not a slave to a record label or other third parties.
The pair make quite the pear, (though I don't think they will be recruiting me as a joke writer) and have today released their EP titled The Toothbrush Sessions. It's a heart-warming diary of projects they have worked on together.
Whitby & Wedlock aren't interested in sacrificing what they enjoy in the interest of pleasing an investor. Their image is many images, and their sound is many sounds.
When it comes to their personalities you can hear in each song that these guys are two sides of the same coin, each perspective different but at the same time; indispensable to the other.
The songs have a Jack Johnson-type bounce and groove but the lyrics and old school conversation in between tracks are totally different.
It's like American surfers and British journalists decided to have a gathering. Coca Cola and Custard Creams (WARNING: only suggested for figurative purposes, don't try that at home).
The idea of this collection is to create firstly (and interestingly), an almost interactive album.
You feel as though you are in the room with them, watching them enjoy their own performance experience. It is friendly and immersive.
They are emotive and have perfect 'mistakes' if you can even call them that. They are the cracks in the voice that we try to refrain from, but when they slip out at the right moment create something far more beautiful than perfect pitch.
But the other side of the story of this collection is a time capsule. You see as young musicians, and with burgeoning careers, the gift of the future has yet to be unwrapped.
In the words of Whitby: "At the moment we are young and we have a lot of resources to use and abuse to our heart's content – but this album is a snapshot of this time. If we were to become seriously famous in years to come, we thought this relic would be a funny thing to find; in some dark forgotten corner of the internet – but always a treasured memory for us."
They locked themselves in a studio for a weekend to create this, and played together in the live room until they recorded takes that they were happy with, and banter they felt appropriate for those of us not in on the inside jokes.
It's cheerful and more than anything it is honest. It has been put together with innovation and creativity. What is special about this album is hundreds of people have already heard these songs live, and because of the style of these musicians, each gig is quite different and the two often change the pace of a song or add different harmonies.
As Alex added: "We've taken songs off each other, written together, taken something old and added something new. We've borrowed the best and hopefully made it better."
This album is like a screenshot of a constantly moving image that is not stored or saved anywhere. These songs will never be played the same way again but for a mere £3 you can have these toothbrush sessions play at your own leisure.
I recommend it for summer barbeques, for wine nights, for morning tea.
It's like a little black dress, it can cheer you up, and it can make bigger things look…smaller.
Their optimistic, playful way of describing some painful subjects forces you to acknowledge the light at the end of the tunnel.
Whitby and Wedlock are a cup of tea that is always half full, and they come with your choice of biscuit. An umbrella in the rain, and the sarcasm required to get through your Friday shift.
This is where you can purchase the album. Be inspired. Be British. Be Whitby and Wedlock.
See y'all soon!

Merriam-Webster describes epitaphs as 'an inscription on a tomb or a grave in memory of the one buried there'. I think epitaphs go beyond that. Sometimes it even describes the love-hate relationship that is prevalent in the contemporary life of the family of the person described in the epitaph.
Given a pen to write one last (one lasting) sentence about a person who has left me, what will those scribblings be? Proposing epitaphs has put me in difficult situations. How about you? If not in ink and paper, we all might have thought of an epitaph deep in our heart for the many that has walked away from our life: our friends, our neighbours and the many faces that have left us for eternity.
Whenever I visit a cemetery, I always like to discover unique wordings that fully embody the life of the dead and the feelings of the living. Today, with a huge limitation in space for the dead (!), beautiful epitaphs are hard to discover. So, the ancient epitaphs holds good.
One of the most beautiful epitaphs that always come to my heart is that of the much-admired Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. It speaks every breath of his life: Free, Free... I am Free at last!
Take a good look at all these epitaphs on the head-stones of the dead. When a friend of mine forwarded me these epitaphs last week, I understand that the art of scribbling the dead isn't really dead!

On Leftism and Rightism, Part 2
On Leftism and Rightism, Part 2
CJay Engel
On the libertarian factions and why they are so heated. Their differences lay in their social outlooks, more than their definition of libertarianism.
In the first part of this article, I sought to investigate the essence of what might be called the mood or demeanor of rightism and leftism, not as a rationalistic ideology, but as a tendency and guiding spirit. These moods precede politics and rationalistic investigation and therefore can help to explain the obviously stark difference between major libertarian factions. Thus, a significant section of this application portion of the essay will focus on teasing out some of these tendencies.
But beyond application to libertarianism as a "movement," it is important as well that rightism and leftism be applied to the current overall mood of the modern intellectuals, media commentators, interest groups, politicians, and so on. It is vital that the reader understand that I am, in my distinguishing between left and right, not distinguishing between democrats and republicans; or even liberals and conservatives in their typical meaning. In this sense, to state my eventual conclusion, I believe that the entire political atmosphere and interpretive demeanor of the modern intellectual establishment is less divided than so often portrayed.
Libertarianism and Worldview
Several years ago, there was lively discussion in libertarian circles over whether libertarianism was "thick" or "thin." This was a result of a continued refining and clarification of what it meant to be a libertarian; or stated differently, what the boundaries were of libertarianism as a discipline. Those who considered libertarianism to be a "thin" doctrine were concerned that there was a growing tendency to unite under the banner of libertarianism, certain socially leftist "commitments." The thinnists argued that –by the strict demands of logic– one could be a social leftist and a libertarian, but the latter does not necessitate the former, therefore the definition of the latter did not include the former.
When certain thinnists began to morph their interests and themes of writing and blogging onto cultural and social issues, there was a pushback by socially progressive libertarians about hypocrisy: did not the thinnists argue that libertarianism was thin and therefore irrelevant to social and cultural interests? What the socially-left libertarians missed was that social and cultural issues are important, but that they fall outside the bounds of libertarianism as a legal theory. If one wants to call his social theory, his theory of virtue and the individual, "libertarianism," it should at least be crystal clear that libertarianism as a legal theory is a different subject matter than libertarianism as a social commentary.
In the self-described libertarian world, much of this is confused and many (not all) of those who hold to a rigorous, strict, and precise formulation of libertarianism as a legal theory (a theory of the proper allocation of property rights and the subsequent meaning of legality and criminality) have happened to have socially rightist demeanor, as defined in the previous article. These folks are met with uproar and confusion: their rightism makes no sense to those who have a looser understanding of the "spirit of libertarianism." This confusion exposes the fact that libertarianism as an umbrella term to describe so many in the United States who oppose statism hides two completely different mindsets ingrained within the broader "libertarian community." That is to say, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the only thing we all have in common is a label and a claim that the state is an aggressor against private property rights– though even an elaboration of this latter point betrays the assumption of unity.
The Libertarian Split
Those who pay particular attention to the factions and divisions within the libertarian world will notice that there is a general tendency to either veer toward what we might call Mises-style libertarianism or Reason-style libertarianism. Contrary to other interpretations of this divide, I do not think that the definition of libertarianism alone accounts for this division. At the heart of the most intense disputes and factions within the libertarian world lies the fact that our extra-libertarian demeanors and commitments are more important to us than our libertarianism. It is true that there are many differences over the "libertarian" stance on things like abortion or gay marriage or open borders between the Reasonite circles and the Mises Institute circles, but at its core, these are often symptomatic of more fundamental outlooks on the world.
While not an exhaustive list and aware that there is carryover between the two groups, those who might lean toward Reasonite libertarianism might include Gary Johnson, Nick Sarwark, David Boaz, Nick Gillespe, Roderick Long, Anthony Gregory, and so on.
And those who might lean toward Mises-style libertarianism (with reference to the Mises Institute) include Tom Woods, Bob Murphy, Hans Hoppe, Ron Paul, Bionic Mosquito, Lew Rockwell, etc.
Many (myself included, long ago) have tried to explain this in terms of the anarchism-minarchism split, or perhaps the utilitarian-vs-natural law debate. But this does not explain why David Friedman tends toward Reasonite circles and Ron Paul toward Mises circles. And it certainly doesn't explain why the Mises Institute is close with paleo-conservatives like Paul Gottfried and even, before his death, Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn. This, while the Reasonites would despise someone like Paul Gottfried and Hans Hoppe. What explains the primary and largest libertarian factions, therefore, is an underlying tendency toward or away from leftism and rightism.
Right and Left Demeanors
Thus, in taking the five points from the previous article one can see a tendency in each of the factions to interpret things differently
7. Equality
- Whether racial, gender, or creedal disparities are themselves a social problem that should be addressed as a goal in and of itself. Whether it is socially important that all groupings and classes in society have a socio-political voice and whether historical experiences of group-oppression are of considerable social importance.
- Reasonites might affirm all these while Mises-style libertarians might say these things are overstated, ill-defined, propagandistic, or unworthy of considerable social attention. Of course, one of the key debates on this issue are things like reparations and whether there can possibly be a case for them; even outside the libertarian concerns such "how the state will pay for them," there exists the broader question of whether it is even helpful or useful to address these things.
6. Historical Progress
- Whether the development of history from the social structures of old to the social emphasis on all without social rank-referenced distinction (including democracy and the undermining of church, educational, vocational, and familial hierarchy) constitutes progress. Moreover, whether our intellectual discourse, art, scientific accomplishments, philosophy, worldview, and social harmonies are getting better (or rather, have gotten better) as we develop into the future of mankind. Is meta-decline possible or is progress the natural way of man?
- This one is a more difficult view to deal with because the historical problems of the idea of progress in philosophical terms are rarely even considered but I would suggest that, if paid attention to, Reasonites would lean toward affirmation of Progress whereas Mises-style libertarians might take more of a Hoppean, nuanced view. To be clear, the divisions on this area are less defined than the others, especially in Rothbard and his often optimistic grand narrative. For those who have not studied the problem, I would suggest Hoppe's new speech here (transcription), as well as the traditionalist conservative Robert Nisbet's book.
5. Universalism
- Whether libertarianism itself is something that can bind society together and whether the libertarian strategy should be focused on local, decentralized improvements, or whether "libertarianism for the world" is the proper mood. Whether libertarians (or anyone else) should spend time "trying to change the world" or "make the world a better place" or whether one's community and locality are a better and more natural field for our social efforts. Moreover, whether it is preferable to view the world as one great universal society or whether more traditional roots and familial/cultural heritages still matter to people.
- One can see a very clear distinction in the mood of Reasonite types and Mises-style libertarians in Jeff Deist's criticism of the Reasonite approach to libertarianism in his example of the French and gun-rights. Tom Woods summarizes Jeff Deist's point, and tacks onto it another analogy of passing around US Constitutions in Iraq in this episode starting at the timestamp 23:35. And beyond this, one can begin to understand why there is a difference in those libertarians who think we should let states/localities make their own gay marriage or abortion laws and those who believe in "liberty from the top down" such that, since the Federal government is involved in marriage anyway, we should at least recognize gay marriage nationally.
- An excellent example on this universalist issue is debate over the fourteenth amendment. Some (Kevin Gutzman, Tom Woods, decentralists of that ilk) believe that this nationalization of "equal protection" was a huge mistake and transgressed more local (state-level) rights. Consider, alternatively, this Cato Institute blog quote: "In sum, those who argue that federal courts have no business policing state marriage laws are forgetting that the Civil War Amendments, particularly the 14th, fundamentally changed—perfected—our federalism. Since 1868, when states violate individual rights, they have to answer to federal courts." This is known as the "Incorporation Doctrine." See Kevin Gutzman here for the decentralist view.
4. Social Continuity
- Whether revolutionary social upheavals are beneficial in the long run or whether social change should be slow, evolutionary, and with respect to social norms and habits. This does not per se relate to all intellectual radicalism (defined as the consistent application of logic to a given position), but it does relate to one's demeanor and mood in dealing with the way things are, compared to how they ought to be.
- A good example of this is how various libertarians react to pushes to, say, change the currency image to Tubman or tear down confederate statues or outlaw display of confederate flags or halt the reading of Little House on the Prairie. Whereas the Reasonite tends to disregard concern over whether there is social ties to the past and focuses solely on whether the symbol communicates or reminds one of racism and oppression of the past, those libertarians with a rightist bent might have concern over roughshod elimination of history. Ben Lewis, taking more of a rightist approach, recently observed: "Untethering people from the past creates not empty vessels, waiting to be filled with virtue, but rootless individuals, filled with the the innate frailties of man." For examples of Reasonite thinking here, consider this, this, and this.
5. Freedom from Institutions
- Whether progress is being made and society is made better off when later generations challenge the social status quo by "tearing down social taboos" and undermining traditional norms and conventions. Whether progress is occurring as the world becomes desensitized to trans movements, gay movements, efforts to challenge parental restrictions, sexual boundaries, drug and alcohol use, religion, etc. Older ways of thinking about behavior, such as in terms of propriety, chivalry, honor, religious virtue, respect toward elders and those of higher social ranks (bosses, parents, teachers, judges) are archaic, and backward.
- Reasonite libertarians love tendencies toward "free expression" and libertinism as they see these things as the flowering expression of a truly free individual. Mises-style libertarians are either outright fed up with libertinism, concerned that it is emptying the world of civilized behavior and norms, or at least think of the loud and obscene declarations of "freedom from traditional norms" as obnoxious and narcissistic and nauseating.
Tucker vs. the Left-Libertarian Model
Of special note on this final area of freedom, one gets a glimpse at the general blurred lines on the topic by looking at David Boaz (an archtype Reasonite-Cato libertarian) and his primer on libertarianism. Whereas libertarianism is strictly a legal theory based on property rights and the logical implications of property ownership, those who have a broad definition of freedom so as to extend it to freedom from historical social norms often have a distorted understanding of libertarianism.
Back when Jeffrey Tucker traveled in Mises circles (Tucker 1.0) he reviewed this book and on the basis of Boaz's "freedom from social restraints," Tucker characterized Boaz as being a quintessential left-libertarian. Tucker (whom we wish would have stayed true to this version of himself!) wrote:
Some libertarian writers—let's call them left-libertarians—prefer to concentrate on the personal liberties associated with this political doctrine, while submerging property-centered social theory and a radical critique of the State, especially of the imperial state, within a larger laundry list of other aspects of libertarian policy.
David Boaz's primer may not be the prime example of applied left-libertarianism… but it nonetheless fits comfortably in that category. The reader is left with no doubt about where Boaz stands on lifestyle issues (drugs, sex, speech, etc.) and the policy concerns of the punditry class (how this or that program can be improved), but is left to speculate on precisely how strict Boaz's utopia would be with regard to the protection of property rights, or how or on what level of society those rights would be enforced.
In fact, what is so interesting about this review, is that it touches on several of the above five points. I just referred to point number five.
But per point two, Tucker writes the following– and it's astounding that what seemed like a random point about progress that I sensed, ended up being a key issue for Tucker's analysis of left libertarianism:
Indeed, it may be true that a future of liberty awaits, and certainly there's no harm done by an optimistic outlook. But true optimism must always be provisional. It believes something can be accomplished if people will it to be so and take the necessary steps to bring it about. Boaz's forecast of a libertarian future is not optimism but pop-determinism of the megatrends variety, and his forecast still implicitly allows for the possibility that the "inevitable" libertarian future is not necessarily desirable or workable.
Yet, the deterministic mode of argument does accomplish several tasks in this work, each of which appears to be a high priority to the author. It allows the author to bypass any examples of past political and economic arrangements that might have something better to offer than present ones, a stance which is anathema to all self-proclaimed progressives, among which Boaz includes himself.
For Boaz, the glory of libertarianism is not rooted in either theory or history, but rather is largely eschatological, the inevitable end of history to which all present events are tending.
Also consider the following observation with reference to point three:
Another very serious oversight in his narrative is the issue of what level of government should be responsible for the enforcement of libertarian rights. He often cites the U.S. Constitution, but neither condemns nor upholds federalism and states' rights (in fact, his only discussion of decentralization is in the context of Europe). But in the course of American history, most defenders of property and liberty have been states' rights advocates in the first instance, from the misnamed anti-federalists, to the Southern Republicans and secessionists, to the opponents of civil rights laws in the 1960s, to the gun rights advocates today.
Though he never mentions these resistance movements, it's clear where Boaz's sympathies lie: in his brief discussion of the War Between the States, he celebrates Northern abolitionism while failing to even mention the invasion of the South by the North that made the present consolidated state possible. Even today, the essential battleground over the role of the central government revolves around questions of states' rights. The reason is obvious: in American history, the structure of the Constitution, and American political theory, states' rights and American liberty, as Lord Acton noted, are inseparable. But if your priority is the abstract right to engage in morally deviant behaviors, as versus the real rights of property holders and settled communities to make decisions without the interference of the central government, states' rights and political decentralization just do not figure into the equation.
And finally, the following with reference to point one:
Sometimes, Boaz's progressivism runs headlong into libertarian doctrine itself. He argues that the "progressive extension of dignity" to "women, to people of different religions and different races" is "one of the great libertarian triumphs of the Western world" (p. 16), and he quotes proto-socialist Martin Luther King on civil rights (p. 229). Yet, as anyone who has tangled with the enforcement arm of the government's anti-discrimination police knows, this "dignity" has come at the expense of two fundamental rights: that of private property and that of association, the very two rights Michael Oakshott said are the most basic to freedom.
Far from being a victory for liberty, the extension of civil rights (that is, the right to trespass) has been a complete disaster and a major source of tyranny of our times. Aside from a vague criticism of quotas, the right of property owners to discriminate doesn't figure into Boaz's libertarian calculus. Moreover, since when has the purpose of libertarianism—a political theory delineating the boundaries of property rights—been to progressively extend "dignity" to whole groups? This is indeed an innovation in libertarian theorizing.
Why Does All This Matter?
Libertarianism itself is strictly a legal theory. It has relevance and application to the state, therefore it also speaks to political theory. From here, some libertarians argue that libertarianism is "neither right nor left." It's possible this is true, though a more extensive analysis of right and left might add more nuance. But what is not true is that libertarianism alone can service as a social theory; society is not built on propositional agreement alone. The proof of this is so very obvious: do not socially left-oriented libertarians get along with general left-oriented people better than socially right-oriented libertarians? Doesn't Tom Woods (affirms he is a libertarian) get along with Paul Gottfried (declines the label libertarian) more than Nick Sarwark (affirms he is a libertarian)? This is not merely a technical disagreement as to the right definition of libertarianism by Sarwark and Woods. This is a matter of the way different people approach the world.
Libertarians are not socially united by their libertarianism alone (though they may be somewhat in coalition on political matters– though even this is breaking down). And in the coming years, as the cultural revolution continues to develop, libertarians are going to find themselves even more at odds with each other. It's important to recognize where our friends are and not let the politicization of society guide your friendships and social activities. We are not bound by political theory, but by interests, commitments, personalities, religious convictions, and so much more. We must not betray the natural ties with those around us for the artificial ties that only exist as an illusion in our politicized world.

Love Golf Beat Cancer
Team Member: Gianna Clemente

Young Golfer Isn't Playing a 'Round' When It Comes to Raising Money for Charity
Nine-year-old golfer Avery Zweig is kicking off her efforts to Win "Green" for Cason, a Louisiana boy recovering from cancer. It all starts at this year's Drive, Chip and Putt competition at The Masters, where Avery will be shooting for the championship for girls ages 7 through 9 years old. After that, she'll be earning pledges and donating the proceeds of this years "Win Green" campaign to help two-year-old Cason Crow.
Cason is from Monroe, LA, and was diagnosed with neuroblastoma last August after doctors found a tumor on his neck. Cason got treatment at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis and his doctors say the tumor is no longer active. However, the illness depleted his family's finances. His mother Caitlin resigned her job as a nurse to care for him, and the bills continue to grow as Cason returns for check-ups regularly. Per the Crow Family's request, a majority of the proceeds will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as they have been instrumental in Cason's fight! The balance will help the Crow family directly.
Last year through a partnership with the 2 Seam Dream Foundation and Rick Greene, Avery managed to raise almost $10,000 for the Brentfield Elementary School Custodian (Mr. Jeff Ballard AKA "Superman") to aid in his fight against lung cancer. This year she is looking to raise $25,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, little Cason and the Crow Family. Due to last years overwhelming success, the "Win Green for Cason" campaign will now have 3 girls playing for this one little guy. New additions to the team are Gianna Clemente and Madison "Mad Dog" Moman. Gianna is the current 7 and under US Kids Golf World Champion will be playing out of the Ohio Area for Cason. Madison "Mad Dog" Moman who is a top ranked US Kids Golf star and "soon to be 9 year old" will be playing for Cason out of the Florida / Southeast region. It is Avery Zweig's short term goal to grow the "Win Green" campaign so that it has nationwide coverage with elite players attempting to "Win Green for those in need" each and every year.
Avery Zweig is currently ranked #1 in her class of 2025 in the Junior Golf Scoreboard. In 2015, she won 31 of the 56 events she entered in 2015 and last October shot her personal best score from the Women's Tees (while age 8) of 74 at Sherrill Park #2 to win the NTPGA event by one shot. She has been profiled in USA Today, the New York Daily News, WFAA in Dallas and others. You can learn more about Avery at www.averyzweig.com.
