1. Christian Louboutin shoes,Cheap Designer Handbags,Replica Handbags
February 03, 2012
Undoubtedly, everyone might jump on that phenomenal stat from Chanel's Couture Cheap Replica Handbags show today. How come blue? Karl Lagerfeld is too much of a polymath to nail anyone reason for anything he does, but he's a wicked player of phrase association games. Elvis' "Blue Celestial satellite, " Miles' Kind involving Blue, blue-sky optimism�"Anything but the blues, " he claimed post-show. "I don't have the blues. "Hardly. The vision presented through the Chanel show was streamlined, hopeful, and forward-looking, quite the contrast while using the decadent-Raj, drowned-world, and sc... (read more)

2. Not Only Businessman
December 07, 2011
Recently Eric Schmidt, Google's chairman, was in the UK speaking at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh international TV festival and what he said may have rankled a few in the audience. He delivered a very interesting address, without pomp or pretention, on the debilitating division between the arts and sciences - one that has crippled Britain for decades. It seems for the nation that invented television, photography and computers, the notion of postmodern juxtaposition or the Victorian idea of the polymath is distinctly absent from the educational system and the business landscape; keep them separat...

3. Made in the Philippines
April 14, 2011
A genius and a polymath, Jose Rizal is known for being a scientist. Back in the days when computer and internet were not a thing yet, the national hero of the Philippines was able to exhibit his creativity through science. Through the years, several Filipino scientists continued the legacy shown by Rizal. Various inventions were added to the scientific world. In 1995, for example, Edgardo Vazquez won a gold medal in the prestigious World Intellectual Property Organization. Vasquez developed a modular housing system called Vazbuilt, which can quickly construct a house within weeks with prefabri... (read more)

4. The Talented Jose Rizal
April 03, 2011
He was known for being able to read and write at the age of 2. He eventually grew up fluently speaking 22 languages. No pun intended but that was just a bit of the long list of the many reasons why Jose Rizal is touted not only as the national hero of the Philippines but as one of the most intelligent men in history. Being a polymath, Rizal was extraordinary both in the arena of math and sciences. On the other hand, little is being mentioned about Rizal as a musician. He was known for being prolific writer of novels and poems.
But did you know that Jose Rizal was an excellent musician as ... (read more)

5. Not Sitting Still: A New Breed of Business Leader
November 30, 2010
The direct translation of the word, polymath, is ‘having learned much.’ That idea eventually found its full expression in Renaissance Italy, with the lofty notion best expressed by 15th century humanist, Leon Alberti, ‘man can do all things if he will.’ Most of us work, pay the mortgage, stock the fridge and perhaps occasionally indulge in the purchase of a lottery ticket - harboring the dim hope that all of the numbers will add up, thus allowing us to proceed down a mythical marbled corridor to Valhalla, forever eating the fruits of fortune. That isn’t an expression of curiosity or a passion ... (read more)

6. The Different Look of Purses and Wallets Based on Age
October 07, 2010
"He that displays too often his wife and his wallet is in danger of having both of them borrowed." - Benjamin Franklin. He was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author and printer, satirist, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat.
There was a time when only adults used to carry wallets. Kids of the house were never given the opportunity to carry wallets or purses. The only way to store money and coins was a piggy bank. Collectors know a piggy bank as a "still bank" as... (read more)

7. Smart materials
June 30, 2010
As a gung-ho polymath in an era of debilitating specialization, de Gennes saw no bounds to the integrative role of materials science.
As he remarked in 1995, 'I've battled for a long time to have three cultures in my little school: physics, chemistry and biology.
Even at a time when there are not many openings for bioengineers in industry, this triple culture is already very important for physical and chemical engineers.'
When a group on these lines started work at the Institut Curie in Paris, one of its first efforts was to try out an idea for artificial muscles proposed by de ... (read more)
