The Chinese sustainable building company, Broad Group, has yet attempted another impossible feat, building a 30-story tall hotel in 360 hours, after building a 15-story building in a week earlier in 2011.

It can stand against 9 magnitude earthquake having 20 times purer air inside the building. And it is fully furnished.

The building was built over last Christmas time and finished before New Years Eve of 2012.

Chinese designers have come up with an innovative cost-effective public transport system: the tunnel bus.

The remarkable bus straddles two lanes of traffic, allowing cars to drive underneath while it carries up to 1,200 passengers.

Check out the 3d video demo of the Tunnel Bus.

RFID from wiki …

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the use of an object (typically referred to as an RFID tag) applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.

Below given animation video is RFID in plain English and explains how it is rapidly becoming a key technology.

Isn’t an interesting explanation?

Wiki defines Regular Expression as follows,

In computing, regular expressions provide a concise and flexible means for identifying strings of text of interest, such as particular characters, words, or patterns of characters. A regular expression (often shortened to regex or regexp) is written in a formal language that can be interpreted by a regular expression processor, a program that either serves as a parser generator or examines text and identifies parts that match the provided specification.

You would have come across the regular expressions patterns regardless of the programming language (Java, .Net, PHP, etc.,).
