[Origami] trisection video--attribution
On Dec 13 2014, Kevin Lee On December 12th the 'Numberphile' channel on YouTube (math focused, 1 > million plus subscribers) posted a video, 'How to Trisect an Angle with > Origami', which list members might find of interest - though I'm sure the > material is very familiar to them. The link, should anyone be interested, is: > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL2lYcggGpc The video is lovely, but I can't help being annoyed that the first discoverer of a method to use origami to solve this problem--Hisashe Abe of Hokkaido University--is nowhere in the video (body or credits) mentioned by name. It is as if origami is this general pool of knowledge and there are no pioneers worth crediting for their efforts or discoveries. (Meanwhile in this presenter's companion video on "Euclid's Big Problem", Galois and Wantzel--mathematicians--ARE mentioned by name.) This keeps happening. A few months ago Sharon Laubach ) posted a link on this list to some neat work by some robot scientists: http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/robotics-hardware/robots-get-flexible-and-torqued-up-with-deformable-origami-wheels The article takes its cue from what is said in the video by the Korean group, and states: "...One of the groups was from Seoul National University's BioRobotics Laboratory, led by Professor Kyu-Jin Cho. Researchers there have designed a clever robotic wheel based on one of the most famous origami patterns, the magic ball pattern. " The "magic ball pattern" may or may not be one of the most famous in origami, but it most certainly was invented by SOMEONE---so far as I know it is Yuri Shumakov. Would it have cost the authors anything to mention the name of the person whose idea they built upon? Somewheres? We need to start insisting on more respect for our field. Saadya

We need to start insisting on more respect for our field. Saadya In many ways I do believe it is we who may need to give credit, attributing Origami as an artistic expression, building upon the principles geometry.
[Origami] Pictures of the recent CDO Convention
Hello, once again Gerwin and I had a great time at the CDO Convention in Italy. Special guests have been Ekaterina Lukasheva, Ilan Garibi and Quentin Trollip. Apart from the workshops and folding competition (Subject Christmas) there was also an Origami fashion show with the subject "Prominent Couples", featuring some pretty funny costumes. As always the shop was mesmerizing, the food was good the people have been lovely and we are looking forward to meet them all again next year. Some of the things I folded: Fox, Rabbit, Squirrel, Butterfly, Dragonfly, Modular Thing Gerwin also took a whole lot of pictures. You can find them either here https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/+OrigamiAT/albums/6091585333468294753 or here http://www.origami.at/en/cdo2014.php Nice Greetings Anna from Vienna / Austria

Saadya Thanks for mentioning that, Saadya. We just contacted Professor Kyu-Jin Cho of that Korean group about giving appropriate credits to the origami designer.

[Origami] Origami Book Fold
Hey All, I was at a local "Book Arts" show the other day and the program that they were handing out was so cleaver and simple, with a few folds and one strategic cut you can create a multi-page book out of a single sheet of legal-sized paper which when unfolded shows the map of the show on the other side. Does anyone know the source of this design? I've created some (preliminary) diagrams that I want to share but want to make sure I give the proper attribution if the creator is known. I posted the rough version of the diagrams at http://creatingorigami.com/diagrams/bookfold.html -- JC

PocketMod is the great site that I used to make them. http://www.pocketmod.com/ They have pre-made pages to choose from as you build your book to print. There are calendars, grids, lists, references, games, and you can upload your own images too. Cheers, Brian K. Webb http://www.origamishop.us
