Hi All, first and foremost: a happy new year to all of you!
And what better way to start the year than with an enjoyable fold? :) In that spirit, I'm happy to announce quite a bunch of videos. 1. Instructional videos A great first fold - or perhaps four folds - are the digits 2 0 1 5. Luckily, to count down towards new year's, I published videos for the digits 0 up to 9 designed by Andrey Lukyanov. Photo of all digits - including links to diagrams: http://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-lukyanov-ciphers Playlist of all videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzWZXuW4WQWBIk6yovYGX8PvCjaQyJboX Videos on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/videos?designer=490&model=622 And to give you a head start for Valentine's Day, January's instructional video presents a beautiful heart within a heart: the model "You are always in my heart" designed by Andrey Lukyanov.

Paper review for Biotope Ilan Garibi, Gadi Vishne and Ynon Toledano reviewed another promising paper: Biotope As a sneak peek, here's their bottom line: "Highly versatile!" - and I can also reveal that all three pretty much fell in love with the paper.
