The Truth About 'Just Be Yourself'
This is a guest post by Joe Elvin, a dating/relationships writer and author of 'The Thrill Of The Chase'
It's the most notorious dating advice of all time, but is it actually useful?
There are plenty of singletons who have spent years trying to 'just be themselves' with nothing to show for it. These people might argue it's terrible advice. The truth is it'd be the best tip to give someone before a first date – if it wasn't misinterpreted so often.
Here's What Just Be Yourself Doesn't Mean
Many singles hear 'just be yourself' and think it's OK to be shy and nervous. They see this phrase as an invitation to flood their date with desperate text messages or cringeworthy declarations of affection. After all, they're lonely and that's what they truly feel like doing.
Many Hollywood rom-coms reinforce this belief. Films like Hitch, Notting Hill, Superbad, There's Something About Mary all feature 'loveable losers' getting the girl without engaging in any notable self-improvement.
Ryan Williams, founder and head coach at Social Shortcuts, believes the feel-good message of these films are false. He explained: "The fairytale that there is 'someone for everyone' is a nice thought but the harsh reality is that there are millions of people who never end up finding anyone.
"That is the uncomfortable truth of dating. If you have flaws in your personality, it's better to address them than to wait for someone to come along who will accept them."
It's not just the needy nice guys who may be affected. Some people may see 'just be yourself' as a free pass to turn up to the date without paying attention to their appearance or hygiene. Others could interpret it as an excuse to be rude, selfish, tight etc. These are clearly all unattractive traits. Your crush will always favor someone who can 'just be themselves' without being needy, belligerent or thoughtless – and by showering before dates.
Sure, we all have moments where we're socially awkward. We've all been short with a staff member serving us, and experienced various other moments of shame where we're technically 'being ourselves'. But we've also had triumphs, moments where we've excelled, or at least occasions where we've behaved respectfully.
This is the version of 'yourself' people are referencing when they say just be yourself. The best version of yourself.
Stop Putting on a Front
When surrounded by friends, we're usually relaxed. We don't think too hard about what to say. We mostly blurt out whatever is on our minds.
We make dumb jokes without worrying who finds them funny. We speak freely about our passions without filters or fear of being judged. Our bar for what's 'good enough' to say is set incredibly low. We are 'just being ourselves'. In doing so, we attract friends who like us for who we really are. This all seems to go out the window when we're around someone we're sexually attracted to. Suddenly, we worry our true self isn't good enough for this gorgeous stranger, so we put on a front to try and impress them.
Men commonly adopt the 'perfect gentleman' persona. A type of James Bond character they've seen woo women in movies. Even worse, they'll put on this ultra-polite 'Hugh Grant' personality, who does nothing but supplicate, compliment and agree with everything she says.
We think these fake personalities will win the other person over. The truth is they're so see-through. There's no bigger turn-off. When our well-meaning friends utter 'just be yourself', they're really telling us to stop being so fake and try-hard. Even if it somehow works, it's exhausting, soul-destroying and you're eventually going to be found out.
What Type of Person Can Always 'Just Be Themselves?'
The type of person who can always 'just be themselves' during the early stages of dating is a rare specimen. It's common to crave our date's approval so deeply that we can't help but put on some sort of front.
Women are just as guilty of this as men. Ever been out with the 'mega-bitch' who refuses to show any sign she's having a good time – or the 'innocent princess' who has never giggled at a rude joke? Both are classic personas put on by women who are nervous to impress a potential suitor…
If you can act the same around your crush as you can among your closest friends, it communicates you feel worthy of taking up that person's time. You don't need to try too hard to impress them. You're already truly confident in your own awesomeness. If your crush doesn't like you, that's their loss. There's plenty of people who already do like you, so you're not desperate for this one person to be your partner.
This attitude is so attractive. When we meet people like this, we're naturally drawn to their personality. Act like this and women will often fight your approval, especially if they're used to men falling over their feet to impress them.
What if We Don't Feel Worthy?
" Just be yourself " is most commonly dished out to nervous daters. Ironically, it's these people who most likely feel that 'just being themselves' isn't enough to impress anyone. After all, feeling unworthy is the most common cause of first-date nerves.
So what can you do if you truly don't believe you're good enough for your date? Ryan Williams suggests not concentrating on impressing your date and instead focusing on having a fun time. He said: "Frame is it as a positive if you both had a good time. If you go on a date with some sort of agenda such as getting a kiss or seeing them again, that's going to make you more nervous."
"If you see it as a success that you both had fun, you can't really lose, if you're trying to be nice." This alternative agenda is similar to the 'mission' you set yourself when you're 'just being yourself' with your closest mates.
Try it on your next date. Treat them like you've been mates for years. Make dumb jokes, tell silly stories, laugh unashamedly, just like you would with your friends. Throw in some flirting and physicality. Then, when you see signs they're attracted, make a move. If they don't like it, laugh it off and try again later. If she's not into you, be confident your next date will be. With this attitude, you'll find it simple to be the best version of you and ultimately find that partner who loves you for who you really are.
Soon enough, you'll be the one telling your perpetually single friends to 'just be themselves'.

The Mayor's Ceasefire Sabbath, which is held each Spring, is an annual event to call upon Milwaukee's clergy and faith-based leaders to promote a common message of peace and non-violence during their weekend services.
Public safety is Mayor Barrett's top priority and his Ceasefire Sabbath is an important part of his efforts to galvanize the community to fight crime, reduce violence and make every neighborhood safer. City leaders cannot do this alone, which is why, each year, Mayor Barrett calls upon community members in the City's churches, synagogues, mosques and other houses of worship to send a clear message to the Milwaukee community that violence is not acceptable in any neighborhood throughout the city.
Mayor Barrett asks pastors, deacons, rabbis, imams and other religious leaders to demand change, and ask their parishioners take to the streets and talk about these important issues with their children, family members and friends.
Everyone who cares about decreasing crime in this City has a role to play. A full-on community effort, in cooperation with the police department, is essential to the success of our common goal to strengthen our community, reduce crime and promote peace throughout the entire City of Milwaukee.

Our love affair for Videoke or Karaoke goes back many generations. It's a love/hate, really. There is almost not a day that a contact will not rant about a neighbor's speaker blasting on their videoke session on Facebook. The love affair of Filipinos with music may have a lot to do with our being musically-inclined. It has become our way of life that whether or not we have trained voices, we feel that we have the liberty to just belt out as we wish. It's a free country, really. But we also need to be considerate.
But if you happen to be in the music profession, like I know a handful of Filipinos are. I am connected with at least two great music companies, Manila String Machine and El Acustico, then investing in quality instruments like Neumann U87 Ai Shockmount Set Z Microphones, (these are great quality!) are good investment.

Unpredictable times in pharma call for flexibility
Alan Kidd
Alan Kidd, a member of the CHASE Business Development team, looks how these unpredictable times in pharma call for flexibility, and how the industry must adapt to survive.
By the time this article is published, the result of the 2019 UK General Election will be known and irrespective of the outcome, the 'political football' that is the four Nation NHS will again be centre stage. The issue of Brexit has further pushed the travails of the NHS to the front of the political agenda.
We shouldn't really be surprised, because the NHS has been around for more than 70 years and is an integral part of British society. However, as the population gets larger and people live longer, and with treatments getting ever-more sophisticated and effective, it is no surprise that the money required to keep pace only increases. In fact, in 2019/20 the Department of Health and Social Care in England plan to spend £139.3 billion – of which 95% will go on salaries and medicines/devices. Add in what's spent in the other four nations and the sums are so significant that it inevitably has a knock-on effect on the industries that service the NHS.
"The need for high quality, motivated and commercial individuals won't change, but the demand for more flexibility may well"
The move towards merging NHS and social care budgets, with structural changes to match, will increase the need for industry to adapt if it is to survive, let alone thrive. Pharmaceutical and healthcare companies will again have to balance pleasing their shareholders with ensuring that the NHS gets value for money.
This is challenging, particularly for new products that offer incremental improvements on existing treatments. The argument being, why should the NHS spend more money on a new product that offers only a marginal improvement over products which may already be off-patent and therefore available in a cheaper generic form? This can mean that innovative new products coming to the UK market are delayed, which effectively reduces time between discovery and loss of patent protection.
To secure a licence, the product has to be proven to be safe to use, then clinical studies have historically focused on demonstrating significant improvements in efficacy compared to a placebo. However, with patent expired market-leading products that are both safe and effective, increasingly payors are demanding that clinical studies offer real world evidence, which demonstrates that the new product offers significant benefits over these current market leaders.
Even when the demands of NICE/SMC etc are met, and a licenced product is approved for use in the NHS, there is no guarantee that a new product will be adopted quickly and consistently. Gone are the days when a licence was granted and companies could rely on a UK-wide launch to grow market share. Increasingly, local decisions at Health Authority and Health Board level can result in a patchwork of uptake of new products. Local formulary decisions at CCG, hospital or even at GP practice level can add further highly significant delays.
Irrespective of the 2019 election result, what can the UK pharmaceutical and healthcare industry look forward to in 2020 and beyond? In a word, unpredictability!
This 'unpredictability' means that companies are having to look at numerous ways to effectively and efficiently launch and grow their new brands, whilst maintaining appropriate resources behind mature brands. Not only do they need to decide on the correct mix of roles, but they are also wisely asking if having all of their commercial field-based resource on permanent headcount is absolutely necessary, or indeed financially prudent.
In the current climate, having all commercial field-staff on permanent contracts is a high-risk strategy. Should a product launch flounder due to slow market access, then the possibility of having to downsize teams becomes a reality, with all of the significant costs of redundancies, as well as the impact on corporate reputation, company motivation and the ability to attract talent in the future.
Against such a challenging backdrop, how can pharmaceutical and healthcare companies ensure success and manage risk?
Clearly, one area to consider is the benefit that comes from having increased flexibility across commercial teams. The size of sales forces is reducing, but in contrast the proportion of contractors is increasing for the following reasons:
CSO services
In an NHS environment where unpredictability is a constant, the services offered by CSOs remain highly relevant – perhaps more so than ever. The leading providers of CSO services, including CHASE, continue to develop their offering to match the needs of clients – for example, meeting the demand to provide more specialist teams, deploying field resource in a more thoughtful way, and ensuring that top talent has a route into the industry. Therefore, one prediction for 2020 is that the need for high quality, motivated and commercial individuals won't change, but the demand for more flexibility may well.

Rep. Gimenez Says Americans Have Zero Confidence In The CDC
According to Congressman Carlos Gimenez, Americans have a whole lot less confidence in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention than they did a couple of years ago when the COVID pandemic first started, and there are now even questions being asked concerning what the real numbers are of infections in the U.S.
"Why the inconsistency?" the Florida Republican went on to say during a conversation on Newsmax's "National Report." "Why does the CDC continuously change its mind and give different guidance whey they're supposedly following the science? Science doesn't change that often, so obviously it seems to me like they're pulling things out of the air and making it up as they go along."
Gimenez's comments come as questions grow about the numbers of people who were hospitalized for COVID-19 infections versus people who are admitted to hospitals for other reasons and then test positive for virus.
"What's the real number, and what has been the real number in the United States as far as COVID is concerned, and how about the COVID deaths?" he asked. "What is the number of COVID deaths that are actually due to COVID, and not just people who happened to have COIVD? Those are some of the questions I would like to ask," he stated.
Meanwhile, Chicago is set to reopen its schools for in-class learning, and Gimenez said that's the right approach nationwide.
"The science has shown that children are much safer in school than otherwise," Gimenez went on to stated during the interview, pointing out that there are still a few loopholes that will enable Chicago officials to close the schools again.
"In Florida, in my county, schools are open," he continued. "They do wear masks, etc., but the schools are open. All the science has shown that the kids are much better off in school then being in remote learning or being out of school."
There is also federal funding that has been allocated to help schools deal with surges, including getting HEPA filters in place and to cover funding for masks, Gimenez commented.
The congressman is absolutely right on the money. Americans have indeed lost their faith and trust in the CDC. And they only have themselves to blame.
Perhaps they should have told the truth from the very beginning instead of playing politics? Then their credibility wouldn't be shot.

The way he has overcome this handicap, and other more heartbreaking losses, is the inspiring theme of this book. For Colonel Mike has never failed to 'soldier on' in the face of adversities that would have broken lesser men. Whether catching salmon on the Torridge in Devon, creating the beautiful garden at his home near Bideford, planning a new show-jumping course with his specially designed magnetic board, attending St Dunstan's reunions or sitting in his study typing this book, to everything he does Colonel Mike bring his own unique brand of enthusiasm and professionalism - just as he did before the war, when, for example, he organised the famous Trick Ride for his regiment, the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards, and show-jumped for England. Chairman of the British Show-Jumping Association and of the British Horse Society for some twenty-five years and now President of the British Equestrian Federation, he has done more than any other single man to make Britain one of the leading equestrian nations in the world, and to stimulate the ever-growing interest in riding as a competitive and leisure sport."

Longmans, Green, London, 1968, first edition.
276 pp, 8vo (8 5/8" H), hard cover in dust jacket. Maps/battle plans, 2 portraits. "The War of the Spanish Succession (1701-13) holds a special place in the annals of several European armies. The protracted struggle produced a number of great cap tains - John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough, Prince Eugene of Savoy and the French Marshal Villars - and their respective martial achievements still exert a strong fascination. Two of their contemporaries who throw a considerable amoun t o f l i ght on the day-to-day conduct of Marlborough's most important campaigns, with their roll-call of famous successes - Blenheim, Raimillies, Oudenarde, Malplaquet, the lines of Ne Plus Ultra - are Capt. Robert Parker of the Royal Regiment o f F oo t o f Ir eland (whose 'Memoirs', though often briefly quoted, have not been republished since they first appeared some time after his death); and the Comte de Merode-Westerloo whose 'Memoires' are hardly known outside Belgium. In almost ever y re spe ct t he y p resent striking contrasts, in birth, rank and character, and their differences are reflected in their writing. Parker, an Irishman of obscure origins, reached the relatively humble rank of Captain of Grenadiers. His whole mil it ary lif e w as int imat ely bound up with his regimental family. His feelings for Marlborough at times amount to uncritical hero-worship. From first to last he reveals himself as a highly competent professional soldier of modest and unpretenti ous cha racte r. The Com te de Merode-Westerloo, a great magnate in Flanders with a redoubtable ancestry behind him, eventually became a Field-Marshal of the Holy Roman Empire - not that he had begun the war in the Emperor's service, but in that of h is en emies. B rave to t he poi nt of folly, irascible, touchy, overbearingly arrogant, he was continually in trouble. He bore lasting grudges against the men who, he thought, had conspired to ruin his career - Marlborough and Prince Eugene . As a com mander it i s dou btful whether he possessed sufficient cool judgment to merit his appointment to posts of the highest responsiblity. Expertly edited and annotated, the relevant passages from these two memoirs provide a narrative of t his gr eat war of ext raord inary immedi acy and fascination. It will also be invaluable to students of the period." Small soiling mark on bottom of text block, light wrinkling and tiny tear at bottom of spine.

The Winnipeg Grenadiers and the Royal Rifles of Canada, ill equipped and unblooded, fought side by side with four other British Commonwealth units to defend the Crown colony. For eighteen days, the heavily outnumbered soldiers surpassed all expectations, winning lasting honour on the battlefield before being marched off to spend four and a half years in Japanese prison camps. They had endured constant air strikes, artillery barrages, vicious assaults, and hand-to-hand combat. Their heroic sacrifice is made all the more tragic when one realizes that, from the start, they were considered expendable. Base on interviews with survivors of the battle and the POW cages, (this) is a powerful tale of human courage in the face of impossible odds." Light wrinkling at bottom of spine. Dust jacket is price-clipped, has light to moderate edge wear at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds, several small tears archivally taped, light water marks on lower inside of flap-folds, light fading to spine colour.

The Fusilier has not always been well-treated, and not always well-liked, but his achievements - and his failures - have helped to decide the course of the British nation. Over the years, in their many campaigns, the Fusiliers developed a certain way of doing things, a certain style. They formed a tradition. And this tradition, because it grew out of the fundamentals of British character and British life, still has value for the soldiers of today."

Sudan extradites ex-president al-Bashir to International Criminal Court
Ex-president al-Bashir
Sudan will transfer several former leaders, including ousted ex-president Omar al-Bashir, to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. Al-Bashir is suspected of crimes against humanity, genocide and war crimes during the conflict in Darfur.
"The Council of Ministers has decided to transfer the wanted persons to the International Criminal Court," Foreign Minister Mariam al-Mahdi said during a meeting with the court's new chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, who was visiting the Sudanese capital. Khartoum.
War Crimes and Genocide
Al-Bashir, now 77, staged a military coup in 1989 and remained in power for decades as an authoritarian leader. He waged bloody ethnic wars in much of the country and has been wanted for years by the ICC for atrocities committed in the northwestern region of Darfur. According to the United Nations, about 300,000 people were killed, and 2.5 million inhabitants were expelled during that conflict.
Rebels vs Government
The war in Darfur broke out in 2003 when non-Arab rebels took up arms in charges of "systematic discrimination" by Bashir's Arab-dominated government. The government responded with the creation of the 'Janjaweed militia', an army comprising, among others, the country's nomadic peoples.
A peace deal was signed between the government and the rebels in October of last year, but violence remains ubiquitous in the region.
Al-Bashir was overthrown in 2019 after mass protests. The ICC issued an arrest warrant for the then-president in 2009. Sudan would try him itself but has decided not to do so now.

The 600 Open is a versatile and dynamic boat, fast and safe, great for fishing with comfort. It is the ideal boat for a great family fishing day. This is a 6m long model with 2.5m beam, open with center console, pilot seat, benches at the bow and aft with cushions. Its space and inner volume, boosts the number of people on board in relation to the model 550 Open. This space is even more necessary if there are multiple people in the fishing activity (this boat can accommodate up to 6 people in total). This model takes advantage of the hull of the 600 Farilhão. On the inside the 600 Open is not intended to be an elaborated boat. However, in relation to the models of the range Pescador, this is a boat with some features that allow more comfort on board. The center console has a cushioned bench built into the structure. At the bow there is a seat that can be converted into a large cushioned sundeck (optional). At the aft there are two individual seats, one on each side of the bracket, with lockers below. The border is quite high, with approximately 62cm of height, which makes it a very safe boat to be working on the edge. The circulation is very fluid, with no obstacles of any kind. High center console (optional) is available.

The Last Convention
The quadrennial gatherings have shaped the nation's history. What happens if they disappear?
Diane Macdonald / Getty
So many simple pleasures are gone, casualties of the pandemic. Baseball games. Live concerts. Summertime parades. One civic ritual that's neither simple nor necessarily pleasurable is also withering under the virus's spread: the presidential nominating convention as we know it. Starting next week, the parties will hold stripped-down versions of the quadrennial gatherings to formalize the Donald Trump–Joe Biden matchup, creating, perhaps, a template for the future. It's been evident for years the conventions have outlived their original purpose; there's never any real mystery as to who will come away with the nomination. Yet they've also produced surprising speeches and unexpected dramas that have upended the nation's politics. Those sorts of moments could be lost forever if the conventions don't return in more than minimalist form.
In some ways, the choreographed conventions of old won't be missed. "They're completely obsolete—they never matter anymore," Susan Estrich, who ran the Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis's 1988 campaign and has helped manage several conventions, told me. Brian Ballard, a Trump fundraiser, is every bit as blunt. "Conventions are going away, and this may be the beginning of the end of them," he told me.

For safety, the parties are pushing much of the proceedings online. Biden won't travel to Milwaukee, the Democratic convention's host city, for his speech accepting the nomination. Trump still hasn't revealed exactly where he'll be for his own address during the Republican convention, but he's been loath to let the virus trample his moment. His campaign anticipates a mix of videos and live events, culminating in an acceptance speech whose location has ping-ponged up and down the East Coast as his variable moods dictate.
This week, he teased that he'll give the speech at either the White House or the old Civil War battlefield in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, both settings that raise ethical questions about the use of public resources for a partisan purpose. (I was interviewing Walter Shaub, a former director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics and a Trump critic, at the moment the president tweeted that he might give the speech at Gettysburg. "Holy crap! Oh my God," Shaub said when I read him the tweet. "Gettysburg is a national park! Basically, a political party is seizing control of a public park if that happens." Shaub's old office issued an opinion earlier this week that Trump is legally permitted to give the speech from the White House should he choose to.)

Mary Trump, the president's niece and the author of a new book about him, Too Much and Never Enough, told me that holding the event at a taxpayer-owned site might have to suffice for a president deprived of the thrill that comes with gazing out at a rapt audience. "He acts like a toddler," she said. "It may not be as fun or gratifying for him, because he won't get the energy from the crowds. But it will mean that he's pulling rank … And that will be fun for him."
Faulting Trump for his insistence on a camera-friendly show at the expense of long-standing norms and, possibly, federal ethics laws is easy enough. But while the scale and audacity of Trump's plans surpass that of his predecessors, the political world has long used the conventions to maximum advantage.
Starting with their birth in the 1830s, the conventions were primarily tools for party bosses to pick the nominees. The delegates at the 1924 Democratic convention in New York City took more than 100 ballots to settle on a candidate. Reforms passed after the 1968 conventions forced delegates to vote according to their state's primary results, democratizing the method of determining the winners. From that point on, a delegate's main role has been to ratify a preordained nominee.
"People talk as if 'Jeez, maybe Bernie Sanders will get the nomination after all,' or 'What do we do if the convention is gridlocked?' Come on!" says Byron E. Shafer, a University of Wisconsin political-science professor who wrote about conventions in his book Bifurcated Politics. "The same people might as well believe that Ulysses S. Grant is about to return and be president."
Over the years, the conventions have become over-the-top vehicles to reintroduce the ticket and showcase rising political talent. Hollywood inspiration and corporate money have combined to keep the audience enthralled while delivering the nominees a polling bounce. The producer of the Super Bowl halftime show has helped stage Democratic conventions for years. Movie executives have produced the polished films "introducing" the candidates. Most Americans probably didn't realize that when Bill Clinton called himself the "comeback kid" on the night of his nomination in 1992, the line had been suggested for him by an old friend, Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, who'd gained fame by creating the hit TV shows Evening Shade and Designing Women.
All the extravagance isn't cheap. Over the years, the parties have enlisted big businesses and lobbyists to help underwrite the show, injecting whiffs of influence pedaling. On the sidelines, banks, retailers, and other well-heeled groups host parties during the conventions to forge closer ties to people in power.
COVID-19 could permanently put an end to the four-day spectacles if this year's experiments work out. A virtual convention is, at some level, political operatives' dream, because so much more is under their tight control. Logistics aren't as messy, travel costs not nearly as high. Elaine Kamarck, a Democratic delegate from Massachusetts, told me she's already voted virtually for the party's platform and rules, and cast her ballot for Biden to be the party's nominee. "A lot depends on how these two conventions look and how many viewers they attract," said Kamarck, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and the author of Primary Politics. "If the conventions are really well produced, then the traditional in-the-hall cheering may not come back." On Wednesday, the third night of the Democratic convention, many Massachusetts delegates will be watching the action not in Milwaukee, but on a big-screen TV at the old Suffolk Downs horse-race track in East Boston.
Fewer people in attendance means less can go wrong. A running drama before the 2016 Democratic convention was whether Sanders supporters would try to embarrass the nominee, Hillary Clinton. And indeed, they did. When the Vermont senator implored his supporters to elect Clinton during a speech, they booed.

Nothing like that should unfold when Democrats meet next week. Only a couple hundred people are expected in Milwaukee, down from the tens of thousands that the party had anticipated before the coronavirus took hold. No state delegations will be coming. Wisconsin officials will call the convention to order and deliver speeches live from the Wisconsin Center. Production crews will package feeds and send them out to TV audiences. For the nominee, the upside is "you don't have to listen to dissident delegates—they're all at home," says Shafer, who has attended every convention since 1980. "They can't mount a counter-demonstration—they're not there. They can't walk out—because they can't walk in."
Gone too, though, is the raucous interplay between the party speakers and the crowd. While Trump may well get his grand backdrop, he won't be able to re-create the thrill of an arena audience chanting "Four more years!" before the balloons drop. Tamer live-stream events could also drive away the TV audience he craves. Whatever pitch he makes to undecided voters—if he even makes one—won't matter if no one is watching.
"Do you really think the people in the middle are going to turn off Hulu and Netflix and YouTube and say, 'I want to hear another Trump speech from the White House castigating Biden'? No," Estrich told me. "And Biden? Let's face it. He has many strengths as a leader; a memorable speaker is not one of them. He's given two acceptance speeches at conventions. Can you remember a single line?"
Should the conventions permanently fade, would-be stars could miss their chance to launch. A fair argument can be made that Barack Obama wouldn't have become president had he not delivered his memorable keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic convention. ("There's not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America—there's the United States of America.") And the nation's shared political lore will inevitably suffer. Hard as the organizers work to stave off unwanted drama, reality always intrudes, revealing some important truths about the fraught state of our politics.
When Senator Ted Cruz of Texas spoke at the 2016 GOP convention, he was booed for not endorsing Trump—an episode that drove home the bitter divide that Trump's GOP takeover had spawned. (Cruz and Trump would later set aside differences and become allies.) When Bill Clinton gave a 35-minute speech at the 1988 convention, cheers rose up when he announced he was nearly done. The cold rebuke may have made an impression: Four years later, he won the presidency partly on the strength of speeches that appealed to voters struggling through a recession. In a blow to party unity, a defeated Ted Kennedy refused at the 1980 Democratic convention to give President Jimmy Carter what he wanted: a photo of the two standing together onstage, hands clasped and raised high.
"I would hate to lose the theater of politics, which is so important to keeping people captivated," Mike McCurry, Clinton's former White House press secretary, told me. A virtual convention may be safer. It may be cheaper. It may be the future. But it will be inescapably more bland. And we'll be poorer for it.


Throughout his 30-year career with Nike, Michael Bergmann '83 recalled how again and again he would be thrown into a situation where he had to think on his feet to solve a problem.
In one scenario in 2004, a product development team brought him in to update its tennis shoes for high-performance players such as Andre Agassi, Roger Federer and Serena Williams. On the courts, the tennis pros' shoes would take a beating and the soles would quickly wear through.
"When you play tennis, your shoes are basically rubber going across sandpaper at high temperatures," explained Bergmann, who earned his bachelor's in international relations at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
In particular, Bergmann studied the shoes of tennis pro Rafael Nadal.
Nadal, who grew up in Spain, honed his skills on clay courts, gliding from side to side on the court by using one of his feet as a rudder to keep steady. Oftentimes, he had to change his shoes multiple times in a match, especially when he played on hard court surfaces in the United States or Australia.
"He was burning through the bottoms and tops of his shoes," Bergmann said.
So with a critical eye, Bergmann began to reverse engineer the problem. He concluded that the soles of Nike's tennis shoes needed to be as sturdy as the rubber on Formula One race cars, which could withstand turning tight corners at top speeds.
Working with a chemist and an engineer, Bergmann developed and jointly holds the patent on the exceedingly durable rubber compound XDR, which is still used in Nike shoes today.
Bergmann credits his ingenuity to his time at USC Dornsife.
I always wanted to put myself in a situation where I could learn something new.
Bergmann, who started working for Nike selling shoes in a retail store while in high school, used his time in the USC School of International Relations to learn how to excel at the company.
For one assignment, Bergmann wrote a paper about multinational corporations and world politics. Bergmann, who continued working for Nike throughout college, reached out to the company's top executives in conducting some of the research.
"I continued to pursue those connections post-college and that parlayed itself into a long, successful career for me at Nike," Bergmann said.
Following his senior year, Bergmann participated in one of USC's early overseas programs in China, where he spent the summer learning the country's language.
A few years later, his experience was recognized by Nike, which was venturing into the Chinese market. The company asked him to move to China to oversee factories as a footwear production manager at age 26.
Following three years in China, Bergmann spent another three years in Indonesia as a production manager and then in product development before returning to Nike headquarters in Oregon.
"I worked in almost every area of Nike in footwear product creation with the exception of the running category," he said.
Bergmann is himself a track and field athlete who wanted to push himself in unfamiliar areas. He ran competitively in middle school through his early college years — as a high school senior he was among the top 20 1500-meter runners in the country. Now, in addition to working on two new business ventures, he directs the track and field program at Central Catholic High School in Portland, where he lives.
Bergmann recently returned to USC Dornsife to share his insights with students, taking them through his career with Nike and introducing them to two new businesses on which he is working. The presentation was hosted by Lamy, professor of international relations and vice dean for academic programs.
One business, Red Truck, of which Bergmann is CEO, is an online marketplace where sports enthusiasts can buy and sell high-end gear. The other is Bergmann's brainchild, IncubatorU, a recently launched mobile innovation lab.
The company creates an environment where someone can bring a project or product to fruition with the input and support of experts from various backgrounds — business, engineering, marketing or any area pertinent to their concept.
We're prototyping things without a huge amount of capital investment.
"We bring intersectional thinking to a project, map out what the resources are and then put together a plan with small executable steps, so we're prototyping things without a huge amount of capital investment," Bergmann explained.
Bergmann hopes to launch a version of IncubatorU at USC where students can make use of the multidisciplinary expertise of faculty and staff across campus.

Bose asserts that it makes the best audio equipment at a price that is affordable to the masses, but its SIE2 and SIE2i are among the most expensive pairs in the sports headphones market. Sweat-resistant versions of the IE2, they are consistently in numerous lists of recommended sporty earphones. With much cheaper rivals in the running, can the Bose SIE2i justify its above $100 price tag?
The Bose SIE2i is not graced with the usual silicone or foam buds, but rather employ circular disks with acoustic ports. Rival earphones with the traditional buds can be cleaned under running water, but the same can't be said for the SIE2i. Nonetheless, their ports are covered with hydrophobic cloth and don't really come into contact with your skin, so in a way they are sweat-resistant. They also won't slide out with sweat like traditional ear buds are apt to do.
The funny wing-like tips you see attached to the ear pieces are Bose's proprietary StayHear tips. Three sizes are provided with the set; choose the most comfortable one to slot into the ridge of your ears. The result is a loose fit that is quite a liberating sensation, but still secure enough not to be dislodged during a run. You also don't have to fiddle with them to correct their position – it's almost as if they're not there.
There are more colors available for the SIE2i than its brethren, all bright and distinct. They are lime green, orange, blue and purple and they correspond to their complementary armbands. Also included is an extension cable (60 cm) in addition to the 53.3 cm one. The extra length can be secured to your shirt using the accompanying clothing clip. The extension cable ends just at your waist, which is perfect if you're not using the armband.
Rather than having to always put on pants with pockets, it's much easier to strap your music-playing device onto your arm. The high level of practicality introduced by the Reebok armband makes for a persuasive case for the SIE2i. It has several entry points for cables, ensuring a proper fit for an assortment of devices. There's also space for an ID and key pouch on the armband. Because the SIE2i was in the market before the release of the iPhone 5, it will unfortunately only fit the earlier iPhone and iPod Touch models, as well as other devices of that size.
Being the 'i' version of the SIE2, the earphones come furnished with an inline remote and microphone for your handsfree needs. The piece sits at the Y-junction of the cable, which hangs at a comfortable height when worn. On an iPhone, the music pauses when there's a call, and resumes when the call is finished. It's so disappointing that this feature won't work as well for Android phones, but it is an Apple-dominated world after all.
Workout tunes carry a lot of bass more often than not, and this is the range where sport headphones simply must shine. You can expect a decent low frequency response from the SIE2i – especially for sounds below 50 Hz. Each thump feels weighty and powerful, but is overshadowed by the more graceful Sennheiser CX 680. The latter, which costs about $20 less, reproduces the bass more accurately, instead of muddying up the lower mid-range.
In contrast to the original IE2, the highs of the SIE2i are inadequately defined. The sound produced is almost veiled, which can be theoretically attributed to the shape of the ear pieces. Whilst the SIE2i's are circular disks, the IE2's are more cone-shaped – which arguably allows a better channeling of music. The mid-range is not the stuff of poetry, but quite sufficient if you can elect not to look at the price.
The earphones are not meant to be noise-isolating, and isolate they don't. They let in a fair amount of street noise – primarily because of their loose fit – but you can still hear your music even if the volume is not at the maximum level. City runners may appreciate the exterior awareness provided rather than seal off auditory warnings from other road users completely. In regards to the microphone, your callers will be able to hear you loudly and clearly with no cable noise. Definitely an advantage it has over the Sennheiser CX 680.
The Bose SIE2i inspires a lot of confidence build-wise. Its secure and comfortable fit is not to be taken lightly, and the stylish Reebok armband is a pleasing bonus. Cognoscenti of headphones, though, will more likely than not turn this $149 pair down for cheaper ones with better audio. Its sound quality is simply not for the audiophiles. But if decent sound is good enough for you and a great fit the priority, then look no further than the SIE2i.
