POPS10 ancient Greek writers you should know Archimedes was a mathematician, engineer, inventor, physicist and astronomer. He is known for the invention of The Archimedes’ Screw, a mechanism for moving water that is still in use today. He also calculated the value of pi very precisely. Archimedes discovered how to define the volume of irregular objects by submerging them in water. According to legend, this discovery made him run out on the street naked (he was so excited that he forgot to get dressed) and cry “Eureka!” – I have found it.

POPSThe Importance of Having Friends Who Disagree Many people make the mistake of surrounding themselves with people who think exactly like them and reinforce every idea or prejudice they have. This is a bad mistake and will often end up distorting the reality you see. One may end up with a "fan club" that just reinforces your prejudices. So do a quick test right now. Make a list of your closest friends/acquintances/advisors. Then make a separate list of those who think totally differently from you, but are worth listening to anyway. Look at the intersection of these lists. You may be surprised.

POPSPencil Art Masterpieces In art, drawing is the foundation. Pencil drawing provides a more direct and intimate link to an artists’ creative process than does painting. Many artists refer to pencil drawing as ‘knitting’: this is the process where both dreams and ideas are drawn out of the unconscious mind and knitted together into a cohesive unit that is generally referred to as art. Drawing is born out of a desire to grasp the mysterious forces of nature, life and the soul. For more information on pencil drawings, go to: http://www.artacademy.com/Art%20of%20Drawing.html
