Insights offered by a actor- growing up as a child in London of parents from Ghana and Sierra Leone- on the younger years of Nelson Mandela. Idris Alba is interviewed by Barbara Chai of the WSJ on his role in the movie "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom." To understand his role Idris spent one night at the prison on Robben Island where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years of his life. Idris says he focussed on bringing the younger Mandela to life, not on his lines but everpresent the idea of a man setting a revolution in motion. In doing this he was bringing to life a man with all his character and flaws, a man unknown to young S. Africans, who only know the older Mandela.

Intel chairman Andy Bryant tells analysts in Nov. 2013 that he was personally embarrassed by the missteps in not investing enough in tablets and mobile devices and that Intel was paying the price for this. Intel executives say they realize the other aspects of Moore's law that says intelligence and computing will migrate to ever smaller devices such as tablets and mobile devices, and still smaller devices, as they confront a PC centric past.

Changes to dividend policies for state owned companies made at the Third Plenum in Beijing in November 2013. Plans were approved for state owned companies in China to increase dividends for the government to get 30% of after tax profit by 2020, up from about 15%. Frangos says it would be difficult for the companies to implement the 30% target without having listed subsidiaries make dividends available to all investors.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
