How One Savvy South African Businessman Turned Shoe Shining into a Million Dollar Business
in Best of Africa, Business & Opportunities, Richest

To some, shining shoes doesn't sound like an appealing or even lucrative career. But in South Africa, one entrepreneur has become a millionaire by keeping shoes glistening.
Lere Mgayiya, founder and owner of Lere's Shoe Shine, has 45 employees across three major South African airports.
"We're the biggest shoe-shine company in Africa," he told African Globe. "In Johannesburg we shine about 350 pairs of shoes a day, and about 120 pairs in Cape Town and another 120 in Durban."
Before succeeding in the shoe shining business, the motivated entrepreneur lost his footing several times. Mgayiya once worked for South African Airways, distributing boarding cards for five years, before being laid off. Afterwards, he began working with his family's livestock business, but was asked to leave by his uncle since he felt that Mgayiya was being too ambitious.
The resilient South African tried his hand at a new project— selling farmers' eggs to the kitchen of the South African parliament. This project was not a profitable one since Mgayiya only made six dollars a box.
"I fell behind with payments to farmers," he tells African Globe. "I didn't have money to start my car. You need big pockets to run a supply business."
According to Entrepreneur Magazine, Mgayiya decided to enter the Sandlam Money Game — a TV competition for entrepreneurs. He won the game and was awarded $3,100 in two days. Feeling lucky, Mgayiya took his winnings and invested the money into a tree-planting company. After six months, he lost all of his money.
"I needed a steady income, so I decided on a shoe-shining business at Cape Town airport. A hungry man can't think, and I was starving," he told African Globe.
Before he and his employee could begin working, Mgayiya pawned his refrigerator to purchase business equipment. On their first day, his sacrifice was met with utter disappointment as his supplier failed to deliver pedestals. Like any determined business owner, he worked it out by shining shoes on his lap. In addition to working 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week, Mgayiya vigorously read business and finance books.
"I taught myself about the Repo rate, financial markets, inflation, CPIX and followed the exchange rates," he told Entrepreneur Magazine. "It meant I was able to interact with my customers, and converse with them about things they were interested in."
After a year of success in Cape Town, Mgayiya got the opportunity to pitch to the person in charge of all South African airports. African Globe states that the idea was well received and the company grew to 60 employees in five airports. To date, Mgayiya scaled back and is at three major airports—Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.
In addition to maintaining success in major airports, Mgayiya has multiple revenue streams including providing the mobile shoe shine service at events, exhibitions, hotels, conferences and permanent stands at corporate buildings.
"I want to build other businesses that serve communities because I believe that my community, the African community, has so much potential of being a business on their own," he told SouthAfrica.info. "[We have] to stop depending on other people [and] stop being idle."

NIH Starts Clinical Trial with ONC206, a Next-Generation Imipridone
A first patient has been treated in a first-in-human clinical trial of the company's next-generation imipridone ONC206, being developed by Oncoceutics, at the National Institutes of Health. The investigational drug is the second investigational agent in Oncoceutics pipeline to enter clinical trials.
Mark Gilbert, M.D., Chief of the Neuro-Oncology Branch, Center for Cancer Research (CCR), National Cancer Institute (NCI). Photo courtesy: © 2015 – 2020 National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute. Used with permission.
The Phase I trial, for adults with recurrent primary central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms, is led by Mark Gilbert, MD, Chief of the Neuro-Oncology Branch, Center for Cancer Research (CCR), National Cancer Institute (NCI), and Brett Theeler, MD, Clinical Collaborator at the Neuro-Oncology Branch, CCR, NCI.
Imipridones
ONC206 is part of the family of small molecules drug candidates called imipridones, a novel class of compounds that selectively target G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) for oncology.
These complex receptors form the largest family of receptors that reside on the surface of human cells and mediate many important physiological functions by binding to extracellular ligands and differentially controlling many signaling pathways inside cells.
The imipridone family of inhibitors also target mitochondria through activation of mitochondrial caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) reducing the function of essential pathways. These molecules offer a new mechanism for developing clinical therapie in a number of cancers and hematological malignancies.[1]
ONC206 possess the same core chemical structure as the company's first-generation molecule ONC201, an orally active small molecule DRD2 antagonist and ClpP agonist in late-stage clinical development for H3 K27M-mutant glioma with additional indications under clinical investigation.
Gilbert's laboratory has previously demonstrated that ONC206 exerts therapeutic effects in preclinical models of CNS tumors, including brain tumors, that currently have no effective treatment. Various studies have shown that imipridones reduce the proliferation of patient-derived xenograft and stem-like glioblastoma cell cultures in vitro. [2] The novel agent has also proven effective in several biomarker-enriched tumor types outside of the CNS that have been studied extensively by other research groups.
Preclinical studies suggest that the invesigational drug is likely to be orally bioavailable, penetrate the blood-brain barrier, demonstrate a well-tolerated safety profile, and selectively antagonize dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2).
While DRD2 is also targeted by ONC201, ONC206 exhibits distinct biological effects and chemical properties that position its clinical development in indications beyond those of the parent compound.
"I am excited to see next-generation imipridone ONC206 enter the clinic," said Minesh Mehta, MD, Deputy Director and Chief of Radiation Oncology, Miami Cancer Institute and member of the board of directors of Oncoceutics.
"ONC206 has the potential to become an impactful new therapy for patients with untreatable CNS tumors and broadens the clinical utility of imipridones beyond its founding member, ONC201, which has already shown promise in helping patients," Mehta added.
"Our study will evaluate the safety and clinical activity of ONC206 in patients with CNS malignancies," Gilbert noted.
"This clinical trial was designed to incorporate biomarker information derived from our molecular studies of ONC206 in an effort to enable future patient selection," he concluded.

"EPA and Law Enforcement Partners Announce Sentencing in Louisiana Explosive Waste Disposal Case"
"DALLAS – (Nov. 30, 2018) Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) joined law enforcement partners from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Louisiana, the Department of Defense, the U. S. Army, the Department of Transportation, the FBI, and the Louisiana State Police in announcing the sentencing of five defendants for their role in a case involving Explo Systems, Inc., a private company involved in the demilitarization of military munitions. Explo Systems' mismanagement of military munitions resulted in a large detonation at a storage facility in Camp Minden, Louisiana, on October 15, 2012. The explosion damaged buildings in a four-mile radius, derailed 11 rail cars, and was felt up to thirty-five miles away. In addition, an investigation revealed that Explo Systems had illegally disposed of hazardous waste resulting in over $38 million dollars of cleanup costs to tax payers.
Through the diligent work of EPA's Criminal Investigation Division and their state and federal law enforcement partners, including the Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS), the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command – Major Procurement Fraud Unit (USACID-MPFU), the U.S. Department of Transportation – Office of Inspector General, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality – Criminal Investigations Section, and Troopers from the Louisiana State Police Emergency Services Unit, the defendants were held accountable for their actions which endangered communities, defrauded tax payers, and resulted in multi-million dollar hazardous waste cleanup sites across Louisiana and Arkansas.


'Burn' is a hard act to follow - not only did it garner the band fans such as Gilles Peterson (who included the album in his Worldwide Awards shortlist) and stunning reviews, including The Arts Desk (who pronounced it Album Of The Year) and The Quietus, but they also scooped the MOBO Best Jazz Award. The bar has indeed been set high for the second album, but yet again Sons of Kemet have surpassed themselves, delivering an album stuffed to the rafters with the euphoric, danceable grooves and riffs that made 'Burn' such an unprecedented success and audiences go crazy.
The album's exceptionally resonant opening track reflects an unsettling modern reality; 'In Memory Of Samir Awad' was written to commemorate a Palestinian teen killed by Israeli forces as he fled their gunfire in 2013. Another pivotal track on 'Lest We Forget…' is the earthy and ceremonial 'Afrofuturism', which takes the band's explorations of Caribbean roots into new realms. The bass rhythm is based on a traditional Barbadian style called tuk, with a bass and snare drum; similar to fife music from New Orleans, but also West African roots, and Western military band music.
Rather than a complete departure, 'Lest We Forget What We Came Here To Do' is a vivid continuation of themes explored on the debut album. Hutchins describes the album as 'a meditation on the Caribbean Diaspora in Britain' and just as 'Burn' blazed through unpredictable atmospheres and effects, more far-reaching influences are incorporated on 'Lest We Forget…' These range from his relationship with classical concepts (Mo' Wiser), to literary inspirations on tracks such as 'In The Castle Of My Skin' (named after Barbadian author George Lamming's 1953 novel about post-colonial identity) and 'The Long Night Of Octavia Butler', in homage to the award-winning African-American sci-fi writer.
The album's overall restless and trancey energy is most definitely a collective achievement, and over the past year and a half Sons Of Kemet have seeped this latest material into their irrepressible live sets. 'Lest We Forget What We Came Here To Do' is proof that there's still nothing quite like the 'supergroup' sound of Sons Of Kemet: eloquent, fierce, explosively funky – and thrillingly out-there.
"Sons of Kemet deliver stealthy riffs, intriguing textures, and a whopping beat..."

Hollywood je americký televizní seriál, který uveřejnil 1. května 2020 televizní kanál Netflix. Seriál zachycuje příběh v poválečném Hollywoodu jako alternativní dějiny, jak by se filmový průmysl vyvíjel, pokud by byl odmítnut produkční kodex.

Děj
Příběh se odehrává v roce 1947 a zachycuje osudy několika postav. Jack Castello přijel do Hollywoodu, aby se stal hercem. Raymond Ainsley je začínající režisér, který chce prorazit v jednom z filmových studiích, kde jeho přítelkyně  Camille Washington hraje malé role, jako Afroameričanka však dostává pouze role služek. Archie Coleman napsal scénář, který však nebyl realizován. Archie je navíc Afroameričan a gay. Claire Wood je sice dcerou Aceho Amberga, majitele významného filmového studia, ale snaží se prorazit na vlastní pěst, aniž by kdokoliv věděl, kdo je její otec. Jackovi se nedaří získat žádnou roli a přitom s manželkou čekají dítě. Ernie West, který provozuje čerpací stanici, jej najme jako automechanika. Zaměstnanci zde však zákazníkům tajně poskytují i sexuální služby. Pracovat zde začne i Archie. Jack se zde seznámí s Avis, která je manželkou Aceho Amberga. Archie zde potká začínajícího herce Rocka Hudsona a začnou spolu žít. Jack konečně získá malou roli ve filmu. Raymond chce natočit film podle Archieho scénáře. Námět o herečce, která spáchala sebevraždu, však nemůže prosadit u vedení studia. Situace se radikálně změní ve chvíli, kdy Ace Amberg nečekaně upadne do kómatu a podle právního ustanovení je vedením společnosti pověřena jeho žena Avis. Společnost se rozhodne natočit film podle Archieho scénáře a do hlavní role obsadit Camille jako vůbec první herečku tmavé pleti. Tím by ovšem porušila většinu dosavadních filmových konvencí.

Postavy a obsazení
 Hlavní role

 Vedlejší role

V epizodních rolích se objeví i další historické osobnosti jako Luise Rainerová, Dorothy Arzner, C. Aubrey Smith, Edmund Gwenn, Robert Montgomery, Guy Madison, Sidney Franklin, Donald Crisp, Hedda Hopper, Cole Porter, Joseph Breen, Rory Calhoun, Susan Haywardová, Fredric March nebo Loretta Youngová.

New contract to give NYC principals and assistant principals higher pay and parental leave
By Alejandra O'Connell-Domenech
Photo by Mark Hallum
Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza came to a tentative agreement on a contract with the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators (CSA) that includes increased pay and paid parental leave, the city announced today.
"Those who protect and educate the city's children deserve the time necessary to welcome their own children into the world," said CSA President Mark Cannizzaro.
The union, which represents over 6,400 public school principals, assistant principals and other education administrators, has been without a contract since April of last year. Under the new contract, union members will receive a retroactive salary increase of 2 percent and are set to get a 2.5 percent pay raise in July of this year and a 3 percent raise in September of 2021.
"Our school leaders put their students first each and every day, and this historic deal will deliver on key reforms," said Carranza in a statement. "With this agreement, we are ensuring our schools retain top talent and our employees get the fair wages and benefits they deserve," de Blasio said in the same statement.
Prior to the new contract, union members who became parents had to use their sick or vacation days in order to spend time with their new arrivals. Now, CSA members are allowed up to 25 workdays of paid leave in order to spend time with the newborns or newly adopted or foster child.
Also as part of the contract, middle school and elementary school principals will get a salary increase in order to close the pay gap with high school principals, who have traditionally been paid more than their middle school and elementary school counterparts.
A spokesperson for the union touted that under the new contract CSA principals have the right to hire an assistant principal tasked with assessing the school's climate and culture in order to increase safety. According to the spokesperson, there are 100 schools in the city with no assistant principal. In January, CSA sent a letter to the Department of Education asking that school administrators be given more freedom of discretion in handling school misconduct.
In the letter, CSA wrote that only 20 percent of principals were satisfied with the tools they had been given ensure school safety. The letter continues on to say that although administrators were supportive of the administration's restorative practices, recent changes to the school disciplinary code was detrimental to schools.
"Assistant principals are particularly necessary given that our system is deeply committed to using restorative approaches to student missteps, which understandably take time and care," said Cannizzaro in the letter.
CSA's new contract with the city will expire in 2023.

The present study focuses on the observation of learning processes as they emerge in the context of conversations among two students in three successive tasks designed to foster conceptual change in proportional reasoning. The three tasks were set according to a pre-test treatment post-test paradigm. In the pre-test and the post-test tasks, the two students solved individually several items in the presence of an experimenter. In the treatment task, the two students worked as a dyad to solve similar items; they (...) used a balance to check their conclusions and subsequently continued solving the items when the weighing did not match their expectations. We adopt a micro-genetic approach and develop new analytical tools to observe what happened in the conversation (both socially and cognitively). Throughout the three successive tasks, we observed the interplay between tools, peers, experimenter, and task demands and how they are managed through the rules of conversation. We identified four processes that involved the emergence of new high-order strategies from coordinated actions distributed among peers, the guidance of the experimenter in coordinating actions, and ways the participation in solving a previous task was actualized in a successive one.

This book presents comparisons of recent accounts in the formalization of natural language with informal conceptions of interaction that have been developed in both psychology and epistemology. There are four parts which explore: historical and systematic studies; the formalization of context in epistemology; the formalization of reasoning in interactive contexts in psychology; the formalization of pathological conversations. Part one discusses the Erlangen School, which proposed a logical analysis of science as well as an operational reconstruction of psychological concepts. These first (...) chapters provide epistemological and psychological insights into a conceptual reassessment of rational reconstruction from a pragmatic point of view. The second focus is on formal epistemology, where there has recently been a vigorous contribution from experts in epistemic and doxatic logics and an attempt to account for a more realistic, cognitively plausible conception of knowledge. The third part of this book examines the meeting point between logic and the human and social sciences and the fourth part focuses on research at the intersection between linguistics and psychology. Internationally renowned scholars have contributed to this volume, building on the findings and themes relevant to an interdisciplinary scientific project called DiaRaFor which was hosted by the MSH Lorraine from 2007 to 2011.

Structures of natural reasoning within functional dialogues.Corinne Grusenmeyer & Alain Trognon - 1996 - Pragmatics and Cognition 4 (2):305-346.details
The aim of this paper is to describe and characterize some structural features of natural reasoning by analyzing a number of conversations held by operators during shift changeovers. During this work phase the operators have to cooperate in order to carry out the same process. This need to cooperate leads to dialogues and joint elaboration of information, especially when involving the reporting of a malfunction. Three dialogues observed at this work phase on two study sites are analyzed. These analyses show (...) that the step by step follow-up of the operators' collective reasoning is feasible. They highlight that these reasonings are complex experimental and hypothetico-deductive reasonings. They are reasonings for action, that are elaborated as the conversation unfolds, and for which the operators do not always have the means of testing their hypotheses. (shrink)

Lesson from a Dozen Angry Men
In June 2016, I got the opportunity to attend Prof. Sanjay Bakshi's workshop in Flame University. Prof. Bakshi's style of teaching is remarkably unconventional. He uses a lot of images, videos and stories to explore ideas. Such method serves three purposes.
First, unlike traditional classroom lectures, Prof. Bakshi's classes, from start to finish, are very interesting.
Second, a human mind is better at remembering information when it comes via multiple sensory inputs. Understanding of the concepts is much deeper when different sections of the neural machinery are engaged through visual information.
Third, stories make the information stick better. A message packaged in the form of a story has a longer shelf life.
One such video that Prof. Bakshi shared during his workshop was an old Hollywood movie called '12 Angry Men.' It came out in 1957. The story is based on a drama written by Reginald Rose.
The jury system is designed to be a wonderful system for decision making. So, the movie has important lessons on decision making, thinking, and human psychological biases. Interestingly, there's also a Bollywood version of the same movie titled Ek Ruka Hua Faisla. However, I suggest you watch the original 1957 version first. I guarantee that the 90 minutes you'd spend on the movie will be worth every second of it.
The story is about a 12-member jury team debating on a court case. The case concerns the trial of a teenage boy who allegedly stabbed his father to death. The judge has provided all the facts and the closing argument to the jury and instructed the 12 men to decide whether the boy is guilty or not.
Since, there's a death sentence for the crime, the boy's fate hinges on the jury's ability to make the right decision based on a rigorous rational analysis. Like any other real-life situation, most jury members arrive in the room with their personal biases and preconceived notions.
To take stock of the initial standing, the jurors do voting among themselves and it's immediately clear that the decision is already made in everyone's mind except one person. When 11 of 12 people vote 'guilty' in the first voting, it looks everyone is in a hurry to get over with the discussion.
At the beginning of the movie, juror no. 7 excitedly announces that he has tickets to a baseball game in the evening and he intends to get over with the discussion as soon as possible. The problem was that no one in the jury would've been affected negatively if the boy didn't get justice because of the jury's hurried deliberation.
The movie subtitle captures this situation brilliantly – Life is in their hands, death is on their minds.
Now, imagine that the judge gave a condition – if it's later found that the boy was sentenced to death unfairly because of sloppy decision making by jury, every juror's son/daughter would be sent to the electric chair. With that mandate, wrapping up the meeting quickly would've been the last thing on every juror's mind. It may sound like an extreme example but that's how king Hammurabi ensured justice 4000 years ago – by guaranteeing Skin In The Game.
Lesson number one: Making right decisions demands skin in the game.
Having skin in the game shouldn't be confused with having the incentives aligned with the positive outcome (as most CEOs have when they get stock options). Having skin in the game means being exposed (equally as other stakeholders) to both positive and negative consequences of an outcome which was made possible by your decisions/actions/approval.
How many so-called independent directors and CEOs today have their skin in the game?
When Satyam Computer's massive accounting fraud was being orchestrated, these were Satyam's independent directors –
Vinod Dham (Famously known as 'father of Pentium,' an ex-employee of Intel, and now executive managing director of NEA Indo-US Ventures in Santa Clara, California)
M Rammohan Rao (The dean of Indian School of Business, Hyderabad)
U S Raju (Former director of IIT Delhi)
TR Prasad (Former union cabinet secretary),
Mangalam Srinivasan (A management consultant and advisor to Harvard's Kennedy School of Government)
Krishna Palepu (Professor at the Harvard Business School)
(Source: Business Standard)
Each of them received a sitting fee of Rs. 13 lacs, so their incentives weren't directly connected to company's profit. But that takes care of only one part of the equation, i.e., they didn't benefit directly by making biased decisions in company's favour. But what about skin in the game? Where's the risk of losing hard-earned social stature and personal reputation?
When the Satyam scandal came out with Ramalinga Raju delivering his infamous "riding on the back of a tiger" speech, how many of these independent directors were publicly scrutinized? Were they fined for being ignorant?
When there's is no reputational and/or monetary risk involved for being on the board, the most common behaviour exhibited by any human would be of carelessness. In the absence of skin in the game, most boardroom-decisions would be mediocre at best.
How about Kingfisher airlines? Who all were on its board when the "King of Good Times" fleet was grounded? Find it out. Treat it as your homework 🙂
So that argument was from the perspective of independent directors making decisions. But how can an individual investor use this insight to improve his/her decisions?
When you own 50 stocks and one goes to zero, your portfolio isn't going to move down by more than 2 percent (assuming you had equal allocation for each stock). Which means you're not really bothered about a couple of bad decisions for it's not going to create meaningful damage to your net worth. However, when you run a relatively concentrated portfolio of 10 stocks, you'd be more careful about choosing those stocks. Won't you?
In other words, over-diversification leads to no-skin-in-the-game. Without skin in the game, most people, like the juror no. 7, will usually be concerned more about the upcoming baseball game rather than the possibility of betting money on the wrong business.
Superficially, the concept of Skin In the Game may look like a case for morality in human transactions but if you go deeper, you will find that it's a wonderful trick for improving our own decisions.
Anyways, let's move on with our angry men drama.
In the preliminary voting, juror no. 8 (played by famous actor Henry Fonda) votes 'not guilty' which annoys everyone because the court wanted a unanimous verdict and this one dissenter was holding up everyone.
Juror no. 8 argues that the evidence presented in the case were circumstantial. He reasons that he cannot, in good conscience, vote 'guilty' when he feels there is reasonable doubt of the boy's guilt. That's a very robust way to analyse anything. Throughout the movie, juror 8 keeps planting the seeds of reasonable doubt in every other jury member's mind, not to convince them but to force them to think harder.
Lesson no 2: When you start with an investment hypothesis, the job is not to find confirming evidence but to ensure that there's no reasonable doubt left in your mind before you pull the trigger. Ignoring a reasonable doubt is being dishonest to a rational assessment. Twelve angry men is a great metaphor for various psychological biases that inhabit our mind. And our mind is that closed jury room where most voices in the head just want to get over with the task at hand whereas one lone voice of rationality (juror 8) is the one who shouldn't be ignored when the stakes are high.
The final lesson that I took away from the movie was about the power of empathy. Right from the beginning , Henry Fonda's character attempts to put himself in the shoes of the accused boy. The boy was a slum dweller and grew up being frequently abused. Fonda urged the jury members to imagine what it must have been like to live in a slum and grow up in a violent environment. How did the things look from the boy's perspective?
Empathy is very different from sympathy. Empathy opens the door to different vantage points and reveals things which might have been hidden earlier. For an investor, it means looking at the business from the point of views of the customers, vendors, debtors, management, promoters and the society.
Stepping into others' shoes will allow you to feel how a decision is likely to affect others and how it may impact things in the long-run. Empathizing makes you see the bigger picture more clearly.
Twelve angry men is a masterpiece. If you don't want to watch it for its lessons, do watch it for the cinematic excellence that Sidney Lumet, its director, showcased by capturing the human drama created by opposing forces of rationality and irrationality.
Girija says
This is the third or forth interpretation of Taleb's perspectives in his new book that I have read. And while we all love Taleb for his innovative thinking and style, I disagree with the gross generalization you all are making. And here is just two examples to make my points –
Hitler had 100% skin in the game and yet he ignored sane advises of his generals time and again before and during the war. Whether it was invasion of Poland or operation Barbarossa.
Donald Trump has huge stake in NOT screwing US economy for his reelection and yet…
Skin in the game is certainly important but human decision making had multiple other moving parts.. Particularly the way biases work in our lives. Remember, we are not Econs!
I'm sorry – message should be directed to Anshul.
Rajarshi Mitra says
Saw the movie Ek Ruka Hua Faisla way back in the late 80's. I was in high school at that time but the movie had left an inedible mark on my mind. It was not the usual sort of movies that i would watch, growing up watching movies like Guns of Navarone, Where Eagles Dare, Indiana Jones etc. But still that drama had somehow captivated me. Fast forward to 2009, when searching on IMDB, i came across a list of Indian movies that ere inspired by hollywood and lo and behold…i see Ek Ruka Hua faisla. I somehow managed to get a copy of the movie and atchd it. I have to say that Ek Ruka Hua Faisla is one of the few bollywood movies which have done fair justice to the original hollywood verison. I may even dare say that for the level of performance, drama and the inherent palpable tension that the movie is able to create, it may even give the original version a run for it's money.
Today after reading this article, that movie has given me another perspective to think about. Thanks to Safal Niveshak for this unique lateral thinking.
Philip says
Brilliant movie and great analogy
S G Arun says
Its been a while since Safal Niveshak has talked anything remotely connected to investing. Yes, the mental models and other articles like this one are somehow tied into investing. I mean, any mental model, or any other life lesson can be tied to investing if one tries! But the point is, SN has been consciously shying away from discussing hard core investing topics and instead dance around relatively "soft" topics which are non controversial, which need no disagreement, which are easy to manufacture and sell. Sorry, but the value of SN has gone down over the years because of refusal to talk shop. A brand of "thinking man's investor" has evolved over time to just "thinking man" and investor be damned.
N. Menon says
Great article. One needs to be careful on incentives however. In the story above, if the judge had indeed put that condition in place – "if it's later found that the boy was sentenced to death unfairly because of sloppy decision making by jury, every juror's son/daughter would be sent to the electric chair" then the incentive is not necessarily forcing the jury to make a fair decision. The incentive is to actually free the person regardless of guilt or innocence, since that would ensure no risk to their children.
Anshul Khare says
You're right. In that case, the judge could have added one more condition that if the accused is released and later commits another crime and it's proved that he was indeed guilty of the first crime also, then also the juror will have to face the Hammurabi's code kind of consequences. 🙂
Dr Soundararajan PP says
One can also think about current PNB fraud case.
I was recently in award committee and faced scenario was similar to the one described in the post. As stated, one of the guy want to finish fast and go for his favorite base ball game.
In our committee too, members were going through perceptions but not looking at evidences or documents and least bothered about real investigation or any logic analysis. Some one was always in hurry to go to some meeting or some urgent errand.
I had to spend special hours and went through docs painstakingly alone for several hours. I could influence one award out of two. I didn't get anything except nasty comments and am not sure whether I would be continued in next year committee.
Manian says
Fantastic perspective based on the move analogy,
There is also similar research on Israel I think where bails are guaranteed soecifically certain parts of the time as the judges rushing to get onto next thing such as lunch etc. Hence your movie analogy offers reminder to everyone before jump into decision put yourselves into other selves and analyse again …
Mastram says
The situation is not applicable to India. It takes on an average 25 years for a murder case to come to conclusion in India. And by that time murderer is also old (and sometimes dead). So this intellectual gymnastic narrated in article is useless in India.
Hint – Even the 2 decade old illegal poaching by Salman khan is being heard today. Its trending on MSN right now. So you can imagine how long a murder case can take.
gajan says
Statistics drives inverter analysis, investors analysis drives market. How investor analyze the statistics is the mental model. New investor finally end up understanding the investor's mental model as experience grows. So investing becomes physiology.
Statistics drives the market , knowledge about the industry, sufficient to make money in the market.
Physiology is the skill, all can not make money in the stock market.

The Future of Social Security Policy: Women, Work and A Citizens Basic Income (Hardback)
Ailsa McKay
Current debates concerning the future of social security provision in advanced capitalist states have raised the issue of a citizen's basic income (CBI) as a possible reform package: a proposal based on the principles of individuality, universality and unconditionality which would ensure a minimum income guaranteed for all members of society. Implementing a CBI, would consequently entail radical reform of existing patterns of welfare delivery and would bring into question the institutionalized relationship between work and welfare.
Ailsa McKay's book makes a unique and positive contribution to the CBI literature by examining the proposal from a feminist economics perspective. Gender concerns are central to any debate on the future of social security policy, in that state intervention in the field of income redistribution has differential impacts on men and women. By drawing attention to the potential a CBI has in promoting equal rights of freedom for men and women this book serves to open up the debate to incorporate a more realistic and inclusive vision of the nature of modern socio-economic relationships.

The Royal Family celebrates Commonwealth Day 2019
Members of the Royal Family – led by her Majesty The Queen - helped reflect on the remarkable institution of Commonwealth during events across London
The Queen's Commonwealth Day Message
Ahead of Commonwealth Day The Queen released a message in which Her Majesty talked about how "many millions of people around the world are drawn together because of the collective values shared by the Commonwealth."
We are able to look to the future with greater confidence and optimism as a result of the links that we share, and thanks to the networks of cooperation and mutual support to which we contribute, and on which we draw."
The Countess of Wessex sends a letter to the people of Malawi
The day began with the release of a letter written by The Countess of Wessex to the people of Malawi congratulating them on their work to help prevent avoidable blindness - a particular area of focus for her work. The letter cites Malawi as having set an important example for other Commonwealth nations to follow.
The work has the support of The Queen's Commonwealth Trust, of which Her Royal Highness is Vice Patron. The Countess remarked that when she visited Malawi in 2014, eight million people were at risk of losing their sight through trachoma, and now there are none.
Canada House Reception
Meanwhile, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended an event at Canada House to mark Commonwealth Day.
The event celebrated the diverse community of Canadians working around the UK and their contributions to British society.
Commonwealth Day Service
The highlight of the day's events - the annual Commonwealth Day Service in Westminster Abbey - was attended by The Queen as Head of the Commonwealth, as well as The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The Duke of York and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Organised by The Royal Commonwealth Society, the Commonwealth Service is the largest annual inter-faith gathering in the UK.
There were performances by artists including Clean Bandit and Alfie Boe. A reflection about safeguarding the environment for future generations was given by Lewis Pugh, an endurance swimmer, ocean advocate and the UN Patron of the Oceans.
Commonwealth Day has a special significance this year, as 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the modern Commonwealth. The Commonwealth represents a global network of 53 countries and almost 2.4 billion people, a third of the world's population, of whom 60 percent are under 30 years old.
Each year the Commonwealth adopts a theme upon which the Service is based. This year's theme 'A Connected Commonwealth' refers to the cooperation between the family of nations, who work together in friendship and goodwill.
The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall also attended a Commonwealth Day reception at Marlborough House where he met performers from the Westminster Abbey Service and members of the Commonwealth Community.
On Commonwealth Day The Countess of Wessex attended a #CommonwealthDay Reception in New York and gave a speech speaking of having "huge pride in being a part of this incredible family of nations."
As you all know, the Commonwealth is something that is close to the hearts of all members of the Royal Family. We take huge pride in being a part of this incredible family of nations headed by Her Majesty The Queen, who has been stalwart in her leadership, taking a close personal interest for many years and instilling the whole family with the same respect and interest she has shown throughout her reign.

Boredom does not exist in South Tyrol.
There is always something going on; throughout the whole year there are several highlights in the fields of sports, culture and traditions in Kastelruth. The village is also the home of the famous local band Kastelruther Spatzen and the ski racer Denise Karbon.
People were used to get married in winter - due to the high amount of work people did not have time to get married in summer. This is why a real farmer's wedding always includes sleighs.
The farmer's wedding was not only a feast for the invitees - it was a celebration for the whole inhabitants of the village. It was a real farmers' celebration.

"While Surprise officials are pleased the construction crews have returned to the city, they are glad to see other kinds of businesses have become part of the mix.
Some of the revenue gains were due to the city's new focus on creating a diversified economic base that does not depend as much on construction, said Surprise spokesman Ken Lynch.
'We've created 1,000 new jobs,' Lynch said, referring to the new industries that have located in Surprise. 'People have told us they want more shopping and more jobs. Both of these are coming.'"
One of the major contributors to "more shopping and more jobs" has been the Barnaby Street Shoppes, a collection of small retailers at the Bell Mar Plaza. The Shoppes opened in late 2010, and have flourished ever since. The plaza is now home to 13 small businesses, including Local First Member Gifts to Go.
Speaking of the West Valley and the Barnaby Street Shoppes--Local First Arizona director Kimber Lanning will be at the Shoppes on September 13 discussing the benefits of joining the local movement and the work that Local First Arizona has accomplished this year.

Most important investment incentive
Now that President Aquino has thumbed down proposals to change the economic provisions of our Constitution, our officials should turn to other ways of attracting long-term foreign direct investments (FDIs). These are the kind of investments that spur inclusive growth, alleviate poverty and create jobs. Unfortunately, FDIs have, in the past, come in trickles although they have been poured massively on our neighboring countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia.
Trustworthiness. Why? Because, I believe, the most important incentive to bring them in—the trustworthiness of our government—has been neglected. Past regimes are not famous for honoring their word. In contrast, can the present administration be trusted? Is it sensitive and responsive to investors' cry for fairness, honesty and transparency?
Testing the P-Noy administration's trustworthiness is a recent letter of the Joint Foreign Chambers (JFC) lamenting the failure of the government to fulfill its commitments. This lament cannot be ignored because the JFC represents the largest existing FDIs in the Philippines.
For the uninitiated, let me explain that large foreign investors have wide options on where to invest their billions. Their choices naturally depend on how safe their money would be, how easy or how difficult it is to do business in the country, and how much they would earn for the risks they take.
To lure large FDIs, countries compete by showing their advantages as desirable business venues with reasonable rates of return. They offer various incentives, which always include tax- and duty-free importation of capital equipment that investors need to bring into the country.
To understand this competition, let us look at a parallel in the consumer trade. People choose and buy cars of a specific brand because they trust its engineering, beauty, after-sale service and used-car prices. In the same manner, investors choose countries that offer real and believable value for their money.
Pained letter. To attract FDIs to solve the power outages in the 1990s, our government promised many fiscal incentives and benefits, including VAT-free importation of capital equipment. Naturally, in making business plans, investors included these fiscal incentives in computing their risks and possible earnings, and compared them with those offered by other countries.
In its pained letter to Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima, the JFC wrote that after its members sank in hundreds of millions of dollars in building huge power plants, the government reneged on its promise to exempt them from the VAT (value-added taxes).
Procedurally, investors were first required to pay the VAT, and then to apply for refund from the Bureau of Internal Revenue. According to the JFC, "here is where the system fails: getting the VAT refunded is complicated and overly bureaucratic, with the BIR forcing applicants to go to court, then causing delays in procedures in the Court of Tax Appeals and up to the Supreme Court… How can investors be encouraged to risk their money if they cannot rely on the solemn word of government?"
As an example of how our government has over the past many years reneged on its commitments, the JFC cited the case of San Roque Power Corp., which—after over a decade of grueling litigation—was denied its promised VAT refund of about P500 million because of alleged midstream change of rules that were retroactively applied. I will write on the details of this case at another time.
My point now is this: The government must honor its commitments promptly. For too long, past regimes have resorted to legalistic contortions to avoid honoring commitments. Now is the time to right this wrong. To attract long-term FDIs that spur inclusive growth, alleviate poverty, and create jobs, the present administration must show investors that it will honor commitments made by our country, and will refrain from using technicalities to avoid them. Let us stop the insidious practice of being centavo-wise and peso-foolish.
Proclamations by projection. In response to my column last Sunday, Commission on Elections Chair Sixto Brillantes Jr. said that the poll body used projections from so-called "grouped canvass reports" in proclaiming the top senatorial winners.
I do not wish to embarrass Brillantes further by stressing that our election law requires the use only of official certificates of canvass (COC), not any other documents or inventions, to proclaim winners, and that the Comelec has absolutely no power to amend, much less to supersede, this law by passing a self-serving resolution authorizing itself to use mere projections from "guesstimates" extrapolated from these grouped canvass reports.
However, these baseless proclamations by projection must be corrected and banished from our election lingo, preferably by the Comelec itself, by withdrawing them and reproclaiming the senatorial winners with the use of the completed COCs. The poll body should not wait for the Supreme Court or Congress to reverse and censure it.
Yes, these wayward proclamations should not stay a minute longer in our legal firmament, lest they be used as mischievous precedents to proclaim the alleged winners in the 2016 presidential election. The Comelec would be well advised to correct this mischief now.
Otherwise, instead of being hailed for what it trumpets as a generally successful automated election, the present Comelec will be damned in history for inventing these bizarre proclamations by projection.

This quasi-concept album (the only of its kind) from these Vermonters finally showcased their ability to convey a message with a studio album, whereas previously they only succeeded in doing so live.
Apple's 16GB iPhone 3GS costs the company US$178.96 per unit, according to a new teardown analysis conducted by iSuppli, Inc. This compares to a cost of $174.33 for the previous generation's entry-level 8GB iPhone 3G when that device was introduced in June of 2008. Apple retails the device for $599, with carrier subsidies bringing the cost down to qualifying customers down to $199.
The chart below offers a breakdown of costs for the major components in the iPhone 3GS, though iSuppli points out that these costs don't include the cost of software development, shipping and distribution, packaging, royalty fees and miscellaneous accessories included with each phone.
Wall Street analysts pay close attention to the cost of the iPhone due to its impact on Apple's gross margins and profits. This is especially so for a company like Apple, which guards this kind of information as closely as is possible.
iSuppli's teardown analysis is based on literally tearing a unit down, examining the components therein, and then using in-quantity costs analysis, along with associated labor costs estimates to provide a total estimated cost for each device.

I would love to see them tear down the cost of R&D and include that with the price of components.
Good analysis! Really good information. Does Apple mark only $20 above the cost?
R&D cost of manufacturing per unit expotentially lowers the more units you sell, where as physical componets stay comparably stable regardless the amount of units that are sold.
Let's play a game, let's say Apple spent $1,000,000,000 to develop the iPhone and iPod Touch (Apple didn't spend that much I know, Apple's yearly R&D budget isn't even that much).
Let's say Apple onlu sold 200,000 iPhones and iPod touches, the unit cost for R&D would be $5,000. Now let's say that Apple sells 1,000,000 iPhone and iPod touches, the unit cost would be $1,000. That's a change of $4,000 per unit sold, the physical componets' price most likely did not change, it's still going to add up to $179, but the R&D price lowered radically. Trying to put a unit cost to R&D is next to impossible withou knowing how many units will be sold and the total amount of money devoted to that single product's R&D.
Apple places a value of $10 on their yearly major software updates for the iPhone and iPod touch. Assuming that this value is in place to recoup solely the costs of software development (part of R&D) then Apple spends about $200,000,000 a year on development for the device.
