Reagan Administration officials said today that their decision to hold naval exercises in waters claimed by Libya was intended to affirm the right of free passage in international waters and not continue to allow even the appearance of letting Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi set the rules.
The possibility of an air clash, such as the one that occurred yesterday with the reported downing of two Libyan fighters, was not regarded as inevitable, nor was it considered out of the question, several officials said. But they said that because President Carter refused to allow American planes to fly over the Gulf of Sidra during similar exercises last year, there was considerable pressure from the Navy not to allow a precedent to be set.
In 1973 Colonel Qaddafi, the Libyan leader, established a line across the mouth of the Gulf of Sidra as a ''base line,'' south of which Libya claimed as its internal waters. The American officials said that almost yearly since then, American planes and warships had crossed that line. But last year, because of the crisis over the American hostages in Iran, and because of a desire not to cause unnecessary agitation in the region, Mr. Carter did not permit American air or naval craft to go farther south than three miles north of the line.
Neither Mr. Carlucci nor any other official has said publicly that Mr. Carter had refused to permit passage into the Gulf of Sidra, where the dogfight occurred yesterday. Late yesterday, however, members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee were given a closed-door briefing in which the Carter decision was disclosed.
Officials confirmed Mr. Pressler's information. They said the Reagan Administration did not want to be accused of continuing to accept Colonel Qaddafi's rules. Last fall American reconnaissance planes flying in the Mediterranean were challenged twice by Libyan jets, officials said, and this raised the risk of an air clash during the exercise, which officials said had to be accepted as a possibility.
Officials said the matter was discussed by the members of the National Security Council, and the commander of the exercise, Rear Adm. James Service, was flown to Washington to go over the rules of engagement to insure that his pilots fired only in self-defense.
There has been a widespread view, encouraged by Mr. Haig's strong opposition to Colonel Qaddafi, whom he has accused of encouraging ''international terrorism,'' that the exercise was a deliberate effort somehow to undercut the Libyan leader.
Libyan Envoys Expelled From U.S.
There can be no question that the Reagan Administration has given priority to trying to isolate the Libyans internationally and to lend military, economic and political support to countries that feel threatened by Libya. Aid to Tunisia and the Sudan, for instance, has been increased substantially this year. One of the Administration's early actions was to expel all Libyan diplomats from this country.
But officials insisted that the naval exercises were not in themselves part of a plot against Colonel Qaddafi or designed to provoke a major confrontation. Rather, consistent with earlier actions, the exercises were designed to show the United States' strength to its friends in the region, notably Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Tunisia, Morocco and the Sudan, and to have Libya take note of the American presence.
One role of the Sixth Fleet, in addition to its primary role of protecting allies of the United States in the Mediterranean region, is to show the flag periodically as an expression of diplomatic firmness. Parts of the fleet occasionally sail into northern areas of the Black Sea, normally considered Soviet waters, to affirm rights of passage.
Some officials said that this basic approach for the exercise depended on its being conducted in a low-key fashion, without any major publicity. But the reported downing of the two Libyan planes produced more drama and attention than the Reagan Administration seemed to want or to be prepared for.
Mr. Haig said last night that he thought that the Libyan fighters were under orders to fire on the Americans and provoke an incident. Other officials are not so sure.
Administration officials said that privately the reaction of most nations has been supportive of the United States, although they said that the wide publicity given the incident may compel many Middle East and third-world nations to issue at least mild statements of rebuke.
The Soviet Union, which is Libya's principal arms supplier, has taken a wait-and-see attitude so far, limiting its comments to reporting the statements issued in Tripoli and Washington. But officials here expect Moscow to take advantage of the incident to conduct a propaganda campaign against the United States as an ''aggressive, @trigger-happy'' country, thereby building on Western European fears about a possible East-West war.
There were also circumstantial signs that senior officials had not sought or planned a crisis. Mr. Haig was relaxing in California when the incident occurred; Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger was only accidentally in Washington, between trips to California and London. Vice President Bush, who is in charge of ''crisis management,'' was in Maine on vacation. President Reagan was at his ranch in California.
He said that as far as he could tell the biggest White House ''snafu'' was in not awakening the President earlier and then acknowledging to the press that he was not told until six hours after the incident, two hours after the press had been briefed. ''I predict that from now on the President will be awakened any time there is even the semblance of a crisis, just to avoid the image of a President asleep at the switch,'' the former official said.

Chris Marker's Little-Known TV Series on Ancient Greece
Marker's The Owl's Legacy presents a complex portrait of Ancient Greece in 13 episodes that revolve around single words.
by Tanner Tafelski October 24, 2018 October 24, 2018

A second decade into the 21st century and there are still works by major filmmakers that are finally seeing the light of day. This year alone saw the US premiere of Raúl Ruiz's "final" film, The Wandering Soap Opera (1990/2017), which Ruiz's wife and frequent collaborator Valerie Sarmiento (a director in her own right) assembled from Ruiz's accumulated footage. With the help of Peter Bogdanovich and Netflix, Orson Welles's 48-years-in-the-making The Other Side of the Wind is set to stream on the Netflix and open in select theaters on November 2. And, in the realm of auteur television, Chris Marker's The Owl's Legacy (1989) will enjoy a week-long run at Metrograph starting on November 9, before Icarus Films releases the series on home video.
Commissioned by the Onasiss Foundation and TV channel La Sept, Marker's 13-part series concentrates on ancient Greece and its enduring impact on contemporary society. At first glance, the series appears rather conventional and hardly distinguishable from the educational programs broadcasted on television. However, Marker creates a complicated portrait of ancient Greece, full of differing viewpoints that are finally funneled through his own vision. The series consists of talking head shots, featuring filmmakers (Elia Kazan, Theodoros Angelopoulos), composers (Iannis Xenakis), philosophers (Cornelius Castoriadis, Michel Serres), professors (Mark Griffith), and historians (Linos Benakis, Oswyn Murray, Jean-Pierre Vernant) that Marker cuts away from to archival footage, clips from films, and footage he himself recorded.

In every shot, there is an owl, whether seen taking up an entire wall in the background or manifesting as a sculpture inches away from the interview subject. Each person gets their own owl — the bird that accompanies Athena and the everlasting symbol of knowledge. Resembling banquets held in Ancient Greece, Marker stages a number of dialogues in which groups of people gather, chat, eat, and drink wine at tables in Berkeley, Paris, Tbilisi, and Athens. He returns to them intermittently throughout the series; in the midst of their conversations, the camera lingers and swerves around animated faces.
Marker devotes each 26-minute episode to a concept crystallized by a single word: symposium, myth, nostalgia, tragedy, music, olympics, and more. Episode six, "'Mathematics,' or the Empire Counts Back," begins with pre-Socratic logic and Pythagoras, to Plato, followed by interludes on artificial intelligence, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and computers. A testament to Marker's playfulness (besides crediting himself, "Chris. Marker," with the title of "Skipper," rather than "Director," in the end credits), he'll list and name the software, technology, and animals seen in The Owl's Legacy — each deserve as much billing as the people in the series.

In the second episode, "'Olympics,' or the Imaginary Greece," the ancient state as a myth and ideal leads to the rise of totalitarianism and the Nazi ideology in the 20th century. Later on, in "'Democracy,' or the City of Dreams," the Greek-American director Elia Kazan says that Greek democracy is a legend, going so far as to consider it not a democracy at all. "90 percent of the people in Athens were slaves, and [the] ten percent were supported by these slaves." Further in the episode, Yale classics scholar John Winkler sees "political bluff" and smear-mongering as the continuity between Western and Athenian culture. Marker presents footage of George H.W. Bush, François Mitterrand, and other political figures in the West, as Winkler notes their ability to elude, evade, and scheme in the name of democracy.
In a recent article, the writer Kodwo Eshun pointed out how the Onassis Foundation banned the series because of one particular comment: It had "taken offense at George Steiner's statement that ancient Greece [has] nothing to do with modern Greece; that modern Greece was a farce and a joke." It wasn't until 2007, when the Otolith Group collaborated with Marker in the first Athens Biennial, that the series played in Greece.
After The Owl's Legacy, ambitious in its scope but a bit tame in form, Marker would push further into different fields, such as more installation work (Zapping Zone, Silent Movie), CD-ROM (Immemory), and virtual reality (his Second Life museum, Ouvroir). Marker never remained in one medium for long, and The Owl's Legacy is one of the missing pieces in a varied and unpredictable career.
Chris Marker's The Owl's Legacy (1989) is screening at Metrograph (7 Ludlow St, Lower East Side, Manhattan) November 9–15 and will release on home video with Icarus Films.

Rob Holloway says:
For a very different view of Greek democracy and the issue of slaves from Kazan, see Ellen Meiksins Wood's Peasant-Citizen and Slave (Verso, 1988). She would argue Kazan is merely repeating the anti-democratic propaganda 'legend' that first started with Plato himself, was given its final turbo-boost by C19th English historians and is still going strong today.
Roderick T. long says:
"90 percent of the people in Athens were slaves"
Closer to 60 percent, by most estimates.

Faculty Spotlight: Elizabeth Zulick, PhD, MPH
By Samantha McPhall
We sat down with Elizabeth Zulick, PhD, MPH, assistant teaching professor and faculty director for Northeastern University's healthcare and biotechnology programs, to learn more about her work and research interests.
Before coming to work in Northeastern's College of Professional Studies in 2016, Zulick was a post-doctoral fellow in the Center for Regenerative Medicine at Boston University. She also taught at Boston University's Metropolitan College and College of Arts and Sciences, as well as the University of Massachusetts.
Notably, Zulick has received an Environmental Protection Agency STAR Fellowship award to study the effects of environmental exposures on breast cancer. She has been published in a number of journals (Stem Cells, BMC Biology, Molecular Cancer Research, and Molecular Neurodegeneration) and regularly presents at the Society of Toxicology's annual meeting. When she's not working, Zulick loves to bake. She enjoys making wedding cakes, wedding shower cakes, baby shower cakes, etc. for friends and family.
Here are some of the highlights from our conversation:
Q: What is your specialty within your discipline?
A: I come from a traditional molecular biology background—my dissertation focused on cancer biology and my post-doc focused on induced pluripotent stem cells and hematopoiesis. Now, a lot of my research efforts are focused on STEM education and increasing under-represented minorities and women participation in STEM fields.
Q: What makes this work meaningful to you?
A: I believe that EVERY PERSON deserves access to education, and I am working hard to bring that statement to life! When I see a student come to Northeastern while working a job earning minimum wage, and then graduate and get a job making a living that can support their family, there is no better feeling.
Q: Tell me more about your career before coming to NU.
A: Before Northeastern, I was at Boston University's Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM), studying how the aryl hydrocarbon receptor affects hematopoiesis and the development of hematopoietic stem cells. At the same time, I was teaching a variety of courses at Boston University, in both their Metropolitan College and College of Arts and Sciences.
Q: What attracted you to Northeastern University and CPS?
A: I loved the mission of the College of Professional Studies, and its goal to create pathways for students throughout their whole lives. I believe education can truly change the trajectory of a person's life, and CPS make education accessible for a diverse range of students. I was also attracted to Northeastern's focus on experiential learning, and the model that students will actually have hands-on experience in a field before entering the workforce. It seems so simple, but Northeastern has dialed in this learning experience and is the leader in this space.
Q: What do you consider your biggest research/industry accomplishment(s) thus far?
A: This past year, we were awarded a $4.4 million grant to support students on their path from an associate degree to a Bachelor of Science to a Master of Science in Biotechnology. This grant was submitted in partnership with Middlesex Community College. We can give scholarship to students, pay for textbooks, laptops, transportation, and more. It is an amazing program! We have already offered scholarships to over 50 students and are hoping to double that [in 2019].
Q: What courses are you teaching in the coming year? Can you describe one or two in more depth?
A: I'll be teaching Cell Biology and a Biotechnology Senior Capstone. The capstone course is where students put all their learning into practice. All students partake in an XN project, and write a grant proposal aligned with that work, further exploring a novel line of research. Also, we bring in a variety of guest speakers from industry to expose students to different career paths. It is always a fun course!
Q: Are you involved in experiential learning opportunities for your students? Can you share more about them?
A: Students in both my Cell Biology and Capstone courses partake in XN projects that are curated to the biology/biotechnology/healthcare field. These are short term, virtual internships that align with a student's personal career goals. These can be done in teams or individually by students. This is a great, low-stakes way for a student to explore a new area of their discipline, and make new, professional contacts.
Q: What are you reading right now?
A: I am currently reading Becoming by Michelle Obama. Better late than never!
Q: What's one industry-related book or publication that has influenced you?
A: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks was a casual read which really made me think about the work that I am doing and the wide-reaching effects. In the field, staying up to date with the major journals (e.g., Cell, Nature) is a must, but also looking at what trends we are seeing within industry through publications such as the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA), International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE), Regulatory Affairs Professional Society (RAPS), and Mass Bio is always important.
Q: What advice would you offer to prospective graduate students interested in the biotechnology program?
A: When you think of the biotechnology field, there are countless different types of careers you could have within this space—it is not all research and development! It is important to expose yourself to other areas: biomanufacturing, quality, regulatory, marketing, operations, etc.

Unai Emery's side lost the first two games of the post-Arsene Wenger era against Manchester City and Chelsea.
Arsenal won for the first time under new manager Unai Emery as they came from behind to clinch a 3-1 victory against West Ham on Saturday. Emery's side had lost the first two games of the post-Arsene Wenger era against Manchester City and Chelsea in the club's worst start to a Premier League campaign since 1992. They were on the verge of more unwanted history after Marko Arnautovic gave West Ham a surprise lead at the Emirates Stadium. A defeat would have made this the first Arsenal side to lose their opening three fixtures for 54 years. But, while Emery's team were dismal in defence, they possessed just enough attacking quality to stage a much-needed fightback.
Nacho Monreal equalised before half-time and West Ham defender Issa Diop deflected influential substitute Alexandre Lacazette's shot after the interval. Danny Welbeck came off the bench to wrap up the points in stoppage-time.
Emery was relieved to see Arsenal finally get points on the board, but their inconsistent performance suggests the former Paris Saint Germain boss still has much to work on as he aims to restore his new club to the top four after last season's sixth place finish.
Pellegrini's side sit bottom of the table and have only themselves to blame after wasting several chances to seize control.
Arsenal were without Mesut Ozil, who was reported to be suffering from the flu after missing training on Friday, but the German midfielder's absence couldn't be blamed for his team's erratic efforts at the back.
Pellegrini's men snatched the lead with a 25th minute goal that showed Emery hasn't curled the defensive woes that ailed Arsenal in last years of the Wenger era.
Hector Bellerin's dashes forward from right-back were causing West Ham defender Arthur Masuaku all kinds of problems and the Spaniard was the catalyst for Arsenal's equaliser an the climax of a fine 17-pass move.
Breaking onto Henrikh Mkhitaryan's pass down the right flank, Bellerin whipped over a cross that ran through to Monreal at the far post, where the left-back lashed home from close-range.
Crucially, Arnautovic squandered two chances to restore West Ham's lead with sloppy finishes early in the second half.
Lacazette's introduction had revitalised Arsenal and he drew a good stop from Lukasz Fabianski with a stinging strike.
Arsenal's pressure was rewarded in the 70th minute when Lacazette controlled well on his chest and swivelled for a shot that cannoned off Diop and into his own net.
Arsenal finished well on top and Welbeck tapped in from Bellerin's pass with the Hammers defence in tatters.
Arsenal lost their opening two games of the 2018 season.
West Ham lost their third successive game.
Arsenal were without Mesut Ozil, who was reportedly suffering from flu.

As preparatory work for the upcoming INSPIRE Conference in Antwerp is reaching a frenzy, I've taken a short step back to provide a short overview of the sessions relevant towards observational data and reporting that I've identified (together with some other bits I just can't not mention! ;) ).
We'll be starting the week of bright and early on Tuesday at 9 with a new round of our Workshop on practical INSPIRE Implementation; while this goes beyond observational data, it is sure to provide a good grounding in the issues being faced in the INSPIRE implementation process. Thursday at 9 we'll be doing a similar Workshop on the joys and pitfalls of coverage data and WCS - for those of you who feel safe on the SOS front, well, there's new stuff to learn, and new opportunities involved! Thursday at 14 we'll then proceed to our by now traditional O&M&EF Workshop, whereby we have some new cool technologies, some already aligned with INSPIRE to show! And don't miss the session on INSPIRE Thematic clusters – building common INSPIRE implementation & use knowledge on Wednesday at 14; we'll be having our EF&O&M Cluster meeting directly after this session at 15:30.
09:00 Room: Nightingale: Practicing INSPIRE coverages - Enhancing your data cube implementation assets!
16:30 Room: Okapi 2: OGC SensorThings API – A New Approach for Meteorological Data.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov arrived in Cairo on Sunday to discuss bilateral relations with Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry and other top Egyptian officials, state news agency MENA reported.
Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoygu is expected to join the talks in Cairo on Monday, which will be attended by the foreign and defence ministers of both countries.
The meetings are set to see discussions on boosting mutual cooperation, joint counterterrorism efforts as well as the developments in Syria, Libya, Yemen and Iraq.
Egypt has been engaged in talks with Russia for over a year to discuss the resumption of Russian flights to Egypt.
Russia suspended flights to Egypt in 2015 after a Russian airliner crashed shortly after taking off from Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport, killing all 224 people on board.
Tourists from Russia have traditionally been a key contributor to Egypt's tourism industry, a key source of hard currency for the country.


Updated blood pressure guidelines from the American Heart Association mean that many more Americans, notably older people, are now diagnosed with high blood pressure, or hypertension.
This may sound like bad news, but the new guidelines highlight some important lessons we cardiologists and heart health researchers have learned from the latest blood pressure studies.
As president of the AHA and a cardiologist, I completely support the latest guidelines.
I know they will save lives, especially when blood pressure is accurately checked and when people make therapeutic lifestyle choices to lower their blood pressure.
High blood pressure, which occurs when the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls is too high, is similar to turning up the water in a garden hose – pressure in the hose increases as more water is blasted through it.
The added pressure causes the heart to work too hard and blood vessels to function less effectively.
Over time, the stress damages the tissues within blood vessels, which can further damage the heart and circulatory system.
High blood pressure, previously defined as 140/90 mm Hg or higher, is now defined as 130/80 mm Hg or higher.
This change reflects the latest research that shows health problems can occur at those lower levels.
Risk for heart attack, stroke and other consequences begins anywhere above 120 mm Hg (for systolic blood pressure, the top number in a reading), and risk doubles at 130 mm Hg compared to levels below 120.
Blood pressure in adults will be categorized as normal, elevated, stage 1 hypertension or stage 2 hypertension.
The category "prehypertension" is no longer used; it previously referred to blood pressures with a top number (systolic) between 120-139 mm Hg or a bottom number (diastolic) between 80-89 mm Hg.
People with those readings are now categorized as having either Elevated or Stage I hypertension.
Determination of eligibility for blood pressure-lowering medication treatment is no longer based solely on blood pressure level.
It now also considers a patient's risk of heart disease or stroke over the next 10 years, based on a risk calculator.
For people with blood pressure higher than 140/90 mm Hg, medication is recommended regardless of risk level.
Hypertension is known as the "silent killer" because often there are no obvious symptoms.
The only way to know whether you have it is by having your blood pressure measured. Accurate blood pressure measurement is critical to a correct diagnosis.
The guidelines emphasize use of proper technique to measure blood pressure, whether taken by a health care professional in the clinic or by the patient using a home blood pressure monitoring device.
Blood pressure levels should be based on an average of two to three readings on at least two different occasions.
hese include having a full bladder, slouching with unsupported back or feet, sitting with crossed legs, or talking while being measured; using a cuff that is too small or wrapping the cuff over clothing; and not supporting the arm being measured on a chair or counter to keep it level with the heart.
Even with the new threshold, the percentage of U.S. adults for whom medication is recommended (along with lifestyle management) will increase only slightly.
Most of the people who are newly diagnosed with high blood pressure will be advised to make lifestyle changes to shift their blood pressure into a healthy zone.
Damage to blood vessels begins soon after blood pressure is elevated. Early intervention can help prevent problems, slow damage that has already started and lower the risk for a heart disease or stroke.
Lifestyle changes should be on the front lines of efforts to tackle the high blood pressure epidemic.
Public health practices and policies leading to changes in systems and environments support individuals' efforts to make healthy lifestyle choices.
For example, well-maintained sidewalks, bike lanes and parks support physically active lifestyles, and healthier food options in corner stores, vending machines and other public places promotes better eating habits.
Community-based efforts can shift social norms and help transform the environments where behaviors occur to make healthier choices easier – more accessible, affordable, and attractive – for everyone.


Predictors are signs that can be read to anticipate the future. They are ambiguous signs that require to be read considering the conditions of the restricted and wide contexts.
Predictors are observable events that make the fundamentals of specific aspects of reality observable.
The fundamentals of a specific reality are able to define a concept if there is a catalyst or a gravitational force that is influencing it.
Everyone uses predictors to interpret actions. For example a smile is a predictor of what can be expected.
Non-verbal communication necessarily includes the observation of "predicting signs" in order to act or react.
The rational use of predictors requires being aware of thee structure of fundamentals that rule a given reality and the external forces of the restricted and wide contexts that influence it.
It is necessary to use predictors to deal with complex adaptive aspects of reality. The unicist algorithms and the unicist ontogenetic maps provide the structure of predictors to be observed and measured to anticipate the future in order to react or exert influence to make things happen.


One of the main jobs of a leader is to motivate others. And that is no easy task, because motivation is mysterious.
You can't make anyone be motivated. All people have some kind of internal drive that pushes them to do work when things get hard. That drive is very different based upon their life experience. We all know people who have great jobs and that are highly unmotivated. We also know people who do jobs you wouldn't dream of doing and they really like what they do. So again you can't force somebody to be motivated.
You can do some basic things to set the right environment where your teams internal drive takes root in fertile soil. Conversely, you can really sour that internal drive if you set the wrong environment.
There are two forms of psychological motivators at the core of human behavior. And these triggers are hard-wired into humanity. The go back to evolutionary behaviors we developed when our ancestors were crawling around, scratching up twigs and berries to eat and living in caves trying not to get eaten. They are approach and avoidance.
Approach means that people will go after the good stuff. They want desirable rewards. This creates anticipation, excitement and joy. It is like watching your favorite cake baking in the oven. So for our purposes, we call approach "Cakes". As a leader, cakes are the best way to get the constructive, long-term result. People will work longer and harder for the positive response. Everybody has some kind of reward that they like whether it is money, a plaque, time off a nice thank you letter. Some leaders only try to motivate with cakes. But that has some real pitfalls. Cakes take the form of formal incentive programs that go very wrong. Some people interpret a cakes only leader as weak and they get motivated to behave in any way they see fit. I will come back to cakes on the next episode so we can cover it in more detail.
Avoidance means that people avoid pain. We want to get away from things that cause use fear, anxiety and harm. So for our purposes, we will call that "snakes". If you are walking through a field and we see a rattlesnake, we will be very motivated to get away from it. Fear is a motivator and we should all have a little healthy fear. People that have no fear get bit by snakes. But if leaders try to motivate with fear, they will only get short-term returns. People will work together to get through a fearful situation, but it is going to be only for the short-term. They will be in the "heck with the cheese, get me out of the trap mentality" and they will go for the short-term answer. So if a leader said "dont make any mistakes or it will cost you" people only do the things that keep them out of trouble instead of doing the things that get the most return.
We also know that there are some people who have a very low internal drive that only respond to fear. If you have those people in your organization get them out. They are sucking the life out of your team.
Bad leaders see fear as their only tool. It is a tempting partner. Because people are stubborn and they don't listen and it is hard to get them get on board. So it is easier to go to the "dark side" and use fear to get what you want out of people. I get it.
But I am an optimist so I am going to say that most people don't like to manage by fear. So even if you are a leader that is very conscious of the downside of managing by fear, you can inadvertently push people into fear and not even know it.
Status- Our importance in relation to others. You know that reorganization or title change that might happen. That is a direct threat to status. What about if someone moves from one office to another? Can not order the pens they always order? Can not longer order business cards because they are deemed not high enough in the organization? All those things are very fragile, but if people even detect their status is threatened it feels like a snake.
Certainly– The ability to predict the future. Our brain is designed to try to predict what dangers lay ahead. Our prehistoric ancestors had to think ahead about where to sleep so the bear could not eat them. So being able to know what might happen next is a big deal. That pending reorganization causes a change in certainty. The performance of the company can cause this feeling. A new boss can cause this feeling. Anything that threatens what you thing was going to happen next is a trigger here.
Autonomy- A sense of control over events. What do we do when people are convinced of breaking the law? We put them in prison and take away their autonomy. Not being able to have a say in your work feels threatening. Micromanager out there hear this. When you stand over someones shoulder and tell them every little thing to do, people hate it. If feels good to you because you have control, but they really despise working for you. You have removed their autonomy so they are just a means to an end rather than a valued part of something bigger than they are.
Relatedness- A sense of safety with others. This one is hard to hear for leaders because it requires a lot of work. Has it been a while since you talked one on one with your team member? That distance is a threat to relatedness. Do they feel a lack of trust with each other or with you. That is a threat. Do the feel "cut out of the loop" and hear things late if ever? That feels like a threat. Do you have a team member that has no friends as work. They lack relatedness.
Fairness- This is the perception of fair exchanges. Leaders. Do you feel like it is just business? It is not to your team. If you are playing favorites? Unfair. Is there injustice or inconsistency in the way you are rewarding or disciplining team members? Unfair. Do you have a general lack of empathy and say "they will get over it". Unfair.
Don't hear me say that you can't ever do anything or say anything that puts people in the SCARF Zone. Your job is to deliver the mail, even if the news is good or if it is bad you still have to deliver the message. But it does matter how you deliver the message. Show a bit of empathy and be aware of the SCARF models as a driver in human behavior.
In summary, if you are trying to motivate by fear, you are doing it wrong. Don't get me wrong. People need consequences. They need to perform and contribute and make things happen. A little fear is Ok. We need to watch out for snakes. But if fear is the environment you intentionally set as a leader you are getting the worst out of people. You are getting the minimum out of your team and they are trying to get a new boss…I guarantee it. In that environment, the good people go first because they can and the low performers stick around because they can't. Then the leader just feels like they have to rule by fear even more. Don't go down the tempting road of using fear. You will not get people to achieve their best.

Burbank's Rose Float Entry 'Adventure Awaits' Win's This Years Queens Award in the 134th Rose Parade

Burbank's Rose Float "Adventure Awaits"(Photo by © Ross A Benson)
With thousands (estimated over 35,000) of colorful flowers, several hundred pounds of seed and spice materials, pinecones, and thousands of hours of manpower, Burbank's entry Adventures Awaits was awarded the Queen's Award, which is the award for "Most Outstanding Presentation of Roses."
This is the 90th year Burbank has entered a float into the parade all those years, the float has been built by Volunteers.

The float was designed by Robin Hanna and Richard Burrow and built, assembled tested by hundreds of volunteers for several months.
The float made its way down 5 miles of Colorado Blvd. to oohs, and ahs as over 50 million people viewed it on televisions and other media.
The float showcases older people and all the adventures that await them. From the front of the float is a world traveler followed by a mountain biker, a rock climber with a mountain goat that is not very helpful, a kayaker, an artist, a hiker, a fisherman, and a hang glider pilot. On the off-camera side of the float, there is an inner tubing, bird watcher, and hiker. In the street are two marathon runners, a backpacker, a roller skater, and two Razor scooter riders.
The music that was played from the float was an original composition by Ben Knorr.
The float will return to Burbank late Tuesday night, and when it arrives, it will be in the City Parking Lot at Olive & Glenoaks till next Monday. Members of the Burbank Tournament of Roses will run animation as weather permits. They will also be selling souvenir merchandise.
Here are some sights, imaginary smells, and sounds from this year's Rose Parade.

I'm expecting bongs with psychedelic swirls, the heavy scent of incense, and Spicoli types in hoodies. But when I walk into MedMen, New York City's new, highly anticipated cannabis store—the first I've ever set foot in—its sleek lighting fixtures, high ceilings, and clean lines surprise me. (The even-newer-but-just-as-highly-anticipated outpost is in Venice, California, but don't rush me. More on that in a minute.) It looks more like a wealthy artist's downtown loft than a head shop. Two men sharply done up in suits greet me at the door; their pleasant vibe makes me think of a concierge at, say, a Four Seasons.
I'm nervous. Many moons ago, I wolfed down nearly an entire batch of weed-infused brownies, putting myself off all things marijuana forever. Or that was the plan. Recently, though, I've gotten interested in creams infused with cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabinoid compounds extracted from the cannabis plant. THC is what gives marijuana its psychoactive abilities—and what makes you high. CBD is not the part of the plant that makes you high (though it can be so deeply relaxing that it might almost seem to), and studies indicate a range of possible therapeutic benefits, from easing anxiety, inflammation, and chronic pain to assuaging migraines and seizures.
"May we see some ID?" the other man asks.
I hand it over. I won't be buying anything today (without a medical marijuana card issued by the New York State Department of Health for a qualifying condition diagnosed by a practitioner registered with the State's Medical Marijuana Program, I can't make purchases), but I'd love a tour, which any New York state resident over the age of 18 is welcome to come in for.
MedMen has been called the "Apple Store of dispensaries," and there is a striking resemblance: A series of long, wide wood tables are the room's centerpieces. There are currently thirteen boutiques across three states—New York, California, and Nevada. Each location oozes the same glossy minimalism, and depending on the state and its legislation, sells either cannabis and/or cannabis-derived products. New York State prohibits "smokable" cannabis, so the store sells only cannabis products: Cannabis suspended in oil and packaged in either vape pens, capsules, or drops.
The bestsellers in both stores are the pens, says Will Nixon, my guide to all things MedMen. iPads are scattered on the tables, digitally displaying the store's selection. We cue up the options on the screen.
Slender and sophisticated, the pens look like an accessory one might pull out of a purse at a polo match. They contain doses of either CBD or a blend of CBD and THC.
The pens in New York come in five different varieties, each with different ratios of THC to CBD. Wellness, for instance, is pure CBD. Even though it's solely CBD, "some people still feel a little something because it can make you super, super relaxed," he adds. Harmony, equal parts CBD and THC, is said to promote well-being. Awake has a 20:1 THC to CBD ratio for an uplifting and reportedly euphoric impact. Calm is said to soothe ragged nerves with even more THC to CBD (50:1), and Sleep, billed as a powerful antidote for finicky sleepers, has the highest concentration of THC at 100:1.
"These pens sound pretty powerful," I say.
The same caution applies to the THC/CBD capsules, as well as the drops, which all come in the same varieties as the pens. The capsules are meant to be swallowed with water, while the drops you place under your tongue, where there's a salivary gland and through-line to the bloodstream. The preference is personal, though the pens are the most concentrated dose and the fastest to take effect. Since you have to digest the capsules before the cannabinoids can enter the bloodstream, they take the longest.
At the back of the store, another customer, whose crisp blazer and polished bearing loosely suggest a job in finance, stands at a taller wood pharmacy table. "That's where you present your medical marijuana card and pick up what you're buying," Lucci explains, excusing himself to go help the man.
I walk out onto the street and the contrast with the airiness of MedMen is jarring for a second. I don't have a contact high, exactly, but I'm decidedly more mellow than when I walked in. The future of weed is here, and it's sleek, spacious, luxurious, and, above all, calm—not a terrifying brownie in sight.
