God Has Spoken: Algorithm Reveals Secret Number for the Rubik’s Cube

By “God,” I mean Morley Davidson, John Dethridge, Herbert Kociemba, Tomas Rokicki and about 35 CPU-years. Ever since Erno Rubik conceived the Rubik’s Cube in 1974, math-minded cubers have been trying to find the most efficient number of moves required to solve the 3×3 Rubik’s Cube in any scenario, which they refer to as “God’s Algorithm”

Classic Cars: 1952 Bentley Continental R-Type

It’s extremely rare that you’ll ever hear the name Bentley unless it’s in the context of absolute luxury, and this is certainly no exception. Bentley is a lavish British automobile brand that personifies luxury, and the R-Type Bentley, the second series of postwar automobiles released by the company, was the quintessential picture of opulence and excess. For those who could afford the steep price of a Bentley, the R-Type was the must-have car of its day; and although the Continental R-Type was produced until 1955, any enthusiast will tell you that nothing beats the original – the 1952 Bentley Continental R-Type

Beauty Find: Reusable Revolution – Eco-Friendly Cosmetic Solutions

Recently we had relatives visiting with us for a week and that was not only fun but very educational! I learnt a lot about healthy vegetarian diet, meditation and what it really means to be eco-friendly… One of the new concepts I learnt is the “reusable” approach to things you use in your daily life. Not only can you apply it to your shopping bag but you can take one step further and start using

It’s an odd feeling to look at a picture of the Miu Miu Patent Ruffle Bag and get a strong sense that you’ve seen the bag (or one like it) somewhere before.

Lim, MD, FAAD, chairman of the department of dermatology at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.
