"When Andres saw the new kid in the neighborhood solve a Rubik's cube super fast, he wondered if he could learn to solve one too. He tried twisting and turning the multicolored cube but it seemed impossible. With a little encouragement from his mom, Andres began to practice every day. And when he discovered a Rubik's cube competition to qualify for the biggest championship, he knew he had to try! Andres and His Rubik's Cube Madness is based on the true story of Andres "€" a boy who cleverly practiced hard and learned hundreds of algorithms to solve the Rubik's cube in lightning speed. He was dedicated and persistent, but most importantly, he never gave up."

"Bosco Sodi creates relief-like three-dimensional surfaces of profound organic beauty. His works are based on a variety of materials and strongly colored paints which he distributes across the canvas. The selection of brilliant colors and the colored pigments, for which he searches throughout the world, allow viewers to experience the artist's work with more than just their sense of sight. They transpose him to another place. Sodi 'composes' his pictures using vertical layers on the canvas and uses a mixture of pure pigment, sawdust, cellulose, natural fibers, water, and glue. He makes use of a very elaborate process to create a surface structure that is remarkably lively. He determines the outer frame, decides on the color of the pigments, and lays down the format of the picture carrier and the amount of material which he then forms on the canvas directly with his hands. But everything that happens after that is an independent process which the artist cannot influence. Although he always works with the same materials, what results are strongly colored monochrome virgin landscapes permeated by a profound beauty. The accompanying video shows Sodi 'constructing' the work ORGANIC BLUE - created in Berlin. Bosco Sodi (b. 1970 in Mexico City) lives and works in Mexico City, Barcelona, Berlin, and New York. With essays by: Agustin Arteaga, Marc Gisbourne, Bernado Pinto de Almeida, Lilly Wei, an interview with Robert Peterson "

In this volume very simplified models are introduced to understand the random sequential packing models mathematically. The 1-dimensional model is sometimes called the Parking Problem, which is known by the pioneering works by Flory (1939), Renyi (1958), Dvoretzky and Robbins (1962). To obtain a 1-dimensional packing density, distribution of the minimum of gaps, etc., the classical analysis has to be studied. The packing density of the general multi-dimensional random sequential packing of cubes (hypercubes) makes a well-known unsolved problem. The experimental analysis is usually applied to the problem. This book introduces simplified multi-dimensional models of cubes and torus, which keep the character of the original general model, and introduces a combinatorial analysis for combinatorial modelings.
