The same friend who would happily offer pointers on your homework, or even some last-minute tutoring before an imminent exam. For those who knew her, that would be Narudee -- or Poom -- Kristhanin, director of inspiration and managing partner at the Eureka International consultant's network.

» It's not easy learning art when you can't see. For many blind or visually-impaired students in a regular school curriculum, art class can become a tedious and limited affair.

» Say what you will of Avatar, James Cameron's 2009 sci-fi epic. Almost a decade since it was released, the film remains the highest-grossing in terms of worldwide box office revenue, with four upcoming sequels and even its own themed area in Disney World, alongside such titans as Star Wars and Marvel.

» Prior to 2014, most of us have probably never even heard of Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy series, let alone expect to see a high-budget film adaptation of it become universally praised. Filled with the humour, heart and the visual spectacles Marvel has always been so good at, director James Gunn captured lightning with the first film. Marvel seems to agree, which is why Vol 2 was produced, arriving in Thai theatres earlier this week.
