Check out  this clue in today's *New York Times Sunday Magazine*'s  Double
Acrostic (10/20/2024):

I think that you can see the whole acrostic here, and I think you can
highlight, copy, and paste the grid and clues into an email or document.
(That's what I did to copy the clue here.):

[Origami] Origami sightings in The Demon Crown thriller

[Karen Reeds via Origami]

9/20/2024
I won’t spoil the story by revealing what part the paperfolder plays in it.

karenmre...@gmail.com

 James Rollins, The Demon Crown (New York: William Morrow/ Harper/Collins, 
2017), 
p179-180: 
…”his focus was upon a folded piece of paper. With great care, he made two more 
creases, pressing crisp lines. He had taken up origami origami as a boy…and had 
never forsaken the art… during his time with M… he had folded a menagerie with 
her, grew a garden of paper flowers just so he could earn a rare smile from 
her…he had knelt at the feet of origami masters…Akira Yoshizawa had been one of 
his teachers…[uncredited Illustration of origami praying mantis]

 P396-7: …Without looking down, he made one crease, then another. His fingers 
moved from memory…Fold after, he worked. Slowly shape took form. When he was 
done, a white origami lily rested on his desk….

[Origami] origami history, sort of — another U Penn talk on “Moveable Books” (early 19thC Japan)

I don’t know if this talk will touch on origami at all, but, from attending
many meetings of this group, I can assure you that the discussion will be
lively.

*Laura Moretti (University of Cambridge)*, “Engineered for Action: Movable
Books in Early Nineteenth-Century Japan”

Professor Moretti writes:

A fascination for quick changes (*hayagawari*) was all the rage in early
nineteenth-century Japan. The illusion of one shape that seamlessly morphs
into another was at the heart of the engineering marvels of mechanical
dolls (*karakuri*) and gained traction on the stage of the *kabuki *theatre.
The world of commercial printing was not immune to this fashion. Decoupage
prints enabled anyone armed with a pair of scissors and a healthy dose of
imagination to enact metamorphosis in one’s own hands. Books further
remediated the craze for quick changes. This paper explores the beginnings
of what I view as books engineered for action and dissects two publications
issued in 1810: *Hayagawari mune no karakuri* (The Mechanisms of the Human
Heart in Quick-Change Format) and *Hayagawari kufū no adauchi* (A Revenge
Story in Quick-Change Format). I interrogate the material qualities of
these two titles to explore how they shape contents while enticing readers
to a deeply tactile, interactive experience. How are these books designed
to enable action? In what way does the movable medium affect the act of
reading? Does our engagement with the contents—cognitive as well as
emotional engagement—different because of the interaction with the movable
parts of the book? To what extent is the reader asked to perform the plot
by operating the book? In answering these questions, I hope to enter into
dialogue with the extensive research done on Western “interactive books,”
as Jacqueline Reid-Walsh calls them, and to bring to the fore differences
alongside similarities.


Laura Moretti is professor of Early Modern Japanese Literature and Culture
at the University of Cambridge and a fellow at Emmanuel College. Her
research focuses on early modern Japanese commercial prose. She has
published extensively in English and Japanese, including *Graphic
Narratives from Early Modern Japan: The World of*

[Origami] request re Functional Origami - Lights & powers Re: Origami Digest, Vol 219, Issue 17

[Karen Reeds via Origami]

Hi, Belle

Could you copy and paste the  text of your message in plain text, not HTML,
into a new message, please? From the subject line, it looks fascinating!

Many subscribers who get O-list in Digest form  often see this
disappointing message: "An HTML attachment was scrubbed."
The URL leads to hard-to-read HTML gobbledegook. I was able to spot your
name and the product, "LuminAID Max Quick Inflate Solar Lantern with
Phone Charger Videohttps://luminaid.com/collections/solar-lanterns .

 I was able to use the URL for the png image: <

I ran into this problem with my own messages recently! Anne LaVin very
kindly explained the problem and solutions to me, but I'm still working on
re-doing my unreadable posts.

Thanks very much!

Hoping I'm practicing what I requested of you!

PS I think I've mentioned another producer of solar lights/batteries with
an origami flair:

I've given several as housewarming gifts. (SOLIGHTS are generous about
donating lights to places that have lost power from weather or war

to him. )

[Origami] Help identifying creator — accordion of diamond-shaped picture frames

[Karen Reeds via Origami]

June 22,2024
Hi, Janet
I can’t prove it, but Laura Kruskal comes immediately to mind as the creator. 
She loved creating picture frames!

 If the individual frames are made from 8 ½ x 11 inch rectangles, that would be 
another pointer to LK. 

Laura K created so many elegantly simple useful designs and taught them to so 
many people —but published so few — that her models have often become regarded 
as traditional.

Are there directions online?

[Karen Reeds via Origami]

Thank you, Anne, for all the time, enthusiasm, and energy you’ve put into 
making the O-list such a global joy! 

About half an hour before I  saw your post, my 96-year-old aunt was catching  
up on 3 weeks worth of newspapers that had piled up while she was 
in rehab from a bad fall. I couldn’t resist teaching her caregiver, a lovely 
young nursing student, how to make the Traditional Newspaper Hat from the 
recycle pile (with some variations of my own). The caregiver plans to teach her 
little cousins next. 

Happy folding!

[Origami] apologies for my mysterious email re Benjamin Rodriguez origami video and post "Great origami testimony (Matthew Green)"

I apologize for my klutziness ! I hit the send button by mistake. I was
making notes on the video and trying to figure out how to tell Benjamin
Rodriguez about an amazing World War II memoir by another forward scout
that I thought he'd like.  (My father-in-law, a WW II veteran, loved
hearing me read it to him.) Thank you, Matthew, for sharing it!

So I'll tell all of you in case you know veterans who would be interested
in both the video and the book.

[Origami] Origami history, tangentially -- a media/design history of the cardboard box and the Container Corporation of America (CCA)

[Karen Reeds via Origami]

10/27/2023

I just came across this thought-provoking essay by Justus Nieland,
"Container Culture: Film, Packaging, and the Design of Corporate Humanism
at the CCA." online open-access magazine, *Post45*, Issue 6: Midcentury
Design Cultures, 02.12.21.anism at the CCA
<https://post45.org/2021/02/container-culture-film-packaging-and-the-design-of-corporate-humanism-at-the-cca/>
https://post45.org/2021/02/container-culture-film-packaging-and-the-design-of-corporate-humanism-at-the-cca/

The folded/cut paperboard containers that surround us usually get taken for
granted. Origami folks are also likely to see them as raw material for our
own paperfolding. This fascinating essay reveals the connections between
World War II packaging innovations,  modernist Bauhaus designers (eg
Moholy-Nagy, Kepes), and changes in corporate culture in late 20th C
America.
Includes Video clips from the industrial films by Rhodes Patterson, The
Packaging System (1963) and others, and lots of fascinating illustrations,
with occasional glimpses of folded/cut paper designs.

By chance I also had just read the equally interesting few pages on the
history of corrugated cardboard and cardstock boxes in *The Secret History
of Groceries: The Dark Miracle of American Supermarkets*, by Benjamin Lorr
(2020), pp 26-28.

[Origami] Name of the puzzle purse in Spanish?

[Karen Reeds via Origami]

July 9, 2023
Hi, Gerardo

I admire your effort to pin down the right names for traditional origami
models, and I'm grateful for all that I learned as a result of your  puzzle
purse investigations.

But origami nomenclature is a lot like botanical nomenclature before Carl
Linnaeus published *Species Plantarum* in 1753 -- a mess! *

You set us all a good example by carefully documenting the names/creators
of models as much as you can, but I have to agree with Dave's pessimistic
conclusion.

Do tell us, please, what you chose to call the model for your class and how
they liked the model and name.

Best wishes,
Karen

[Origami] Name of the puzzle purse in Spanish?

[Karen Reeds via Origami]

7/3/2023
Thank you very much, Gerardo, for the link to David Mitchell’s fascinating
Public Paperfolding History Project--Origami Heaven page about this Puzzle
Purse model (http://www.origamiheaven.com/historyofpuzzlepurses.htm).

Why not use the historical model name, “La Bolsa,” from the 1896 book,
*Repertorio
Completo de Todos los Juegos*, by de Luis Marco y Eugenio de Ochoa y Ronna,
as listed on David Mitchell's page (digitized facsimile:
http://bdh-rd.bne.es/viewer.vm?id=005049&page=1  part 3, page 826-827 =
image 833-834)?
You can always include a set of names in other languages, as David
Mitchell's page does. I think it would be interesting to share the La Bolsa
pages and see whether your students can fold the model from them.

If I am reading *Repertorio Completo de Todos los Juegos* (part 3, page 699
following) correctly, it uses the word Rompecabezas to refer to a variety
of brain-teaser puzzles,  not just jigsaw puzzles.

Thanks again and Happy folding!
Karen

PS As a historian of medicine, I'm struck by the model's use in China as a
"camphor-bag"  -- Origami Heaven's first example. While a mothball-holder
seems plausible, there were medicinal uses for camphor and, as this blog
post explains https://www.goya.in/blog/the-fascinating-story-of-camphor, it
can be used in tiny amounts in cooking for a subtle, distinctive
aroma/flavor.  I'm also grateful to  have learned about the Biblioteca
Digital Hispanica  http://bdh.bne.es/bnesearch/Inicio.do via OrigamiHeaven.

Subject: [Origami] Name of the puzzle purse in Spanish?


HELLO
I plan to teach this model to Spanish speakers:
http://www.origamiheaven.com/historyofpuzzlepurses.htm
First of all, should I just call it "puzzle purse" in English? I see it
sometimes appears as "Valentine puzzle purse" and some others as "Victorian
puzzle purse". What do you suggest?
In regard to Spanish, have any of you seen any reference to this model?for
example, its diagrams?in a book in said language? How was the model called?
If not, those of you that also now Spanish, how would you translate it? I'd
say both the word "puzzle" and "purse" can be challenging to translate to
Spanish. There's no exact translation for the word "puzzle". "Rompecabezas"
means "jigsaw puzzle", but isn't appropriate for other types of puzzles,
like this purse. It's a similar situation with "purse"; the Spanish word
would depend on the type of "purse".
I'm inclined for "Cartera de ingenio", which would literally mean
"Ingenuity purse". That's as close as I got.

Thank you in advance. If you prefer, you can instead reply privately to my

Re: [Origami] early Victorian-era "kirigami" -- LADY CULLUM’S PUZZLE HEARTS (1830) [ fwd ExLibris-L]

[Karen Reeds via Origami]

2/15/2023

Hi, Laura and Madonna
When and how you succeed, please let me know!

All I know about Lady Ann Cullum (my apologies -- I misspelled her name
originally) came from this bit in the Pickering & CHatto announcement  that
I included:

A souvenir of the Bury Charity Fair held at Bury St Edmunds in 1830.


Lady Ann Cullum (1807-1875) of Hardwick House in Suffolk was clearly

But googling just turned up this auction house's account of Lady Ann
Cullum  and her journals, letters, drawings (auctioned by Sworders in
2018, 2019):
https://www.sworder.co.uk/news/the-diaries-of-a-lady/
and descriptions of individual lots, although not the cut-paper puzzle
hearts:
https://www.sworder.co.uk/auction/search/?ic=False&sd=0&pp=25&g=-1&st=lady%20cullum&sto=0&au=842&w=False&pn=1

and her portrait:
https://www.sworder.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-556---circle-of-charles-robert-leslie-1794-1859portrait-of-lady-cullum/?lot=237458&so=4&st=Cullum&sto=0&au=&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=1&pp=96&pn=1&g=1
She was very well connected and knew all kinds of interesting writers and
scientists of her day (Charles Babbage!).

Time for bed!

[Karen Reeds via Origami]

Dear Madonna and Laura

I'm sure you're right, Madonna. When you make one of your own, please share
pictures and directions. Your  versions of the simpler woven heart are
great!

Laura, all I know about Lady Ann Cullen is what's in the Pickering & Chatto
description that I quoted. My guess is that, starting from the envelope
inscription, they searched genealogies and reference works on the English
Peerage and noble families. By Googling, I found a few references to Lady
Ann Cullen, but they aren't very helpful.

Glad you liked it as much as I did,

In haste,
Karen

[Origami] 1935 book Origami moyō / by Kawarasaki Kodo cho -- now digitized by UPenn Libraries; exhibition and symposium on Japanese illustrated books and Tress Collection

[Karen Reeds via Origami]

September 23, 2022

Here's a visual treat: a digitized copy of a beautiful accordion-fold
origami book from 1935, now in the Tress Collection, University of
Pennsylvania Libraries, Philadelphia. The curator, Lynne Farrington, tells
me that only a small part of the collection has been fully catalogued and
even less digitized so far, so there may well be more origami.

Meanwhile, there's an exhibition and an upcoming virtual/in-person
symposium about the collector, the photographer Arthur Tress, and his
collection (see announcement below).

For much more about Origami moyō, Books One and Two, see David Mitchell's
invaluable posts at Origami Heaven:

[Origami] origami symbolism sighting --- "A Thousand Cranes for India: Reclaiming Plurality Amid Hatred, "

[Karen Reeds via Origami]

8/15/2022
Spotted on the University of Chicago e-book sale just now -- a book
inspired by the symbolism of the origami crane:
https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/T/bo50460825.html
The cover illustration is an ingenious melding of images invoking both
peacocks and origami cranes.

I haven't read the book yet, but I applaud the theme!

Happy folding! Keep safe!

Cover copy:
A Thousand Cranes for India

Reclaiming Plurality Amid Hatred

Edited by Pallavi Aiyar

In Japan there is a legend that anyone who folds one thousand paper cranes
will have their wishes realized. But folding cranes, and the meditative,
solemn care that it involves, has come to mean more than just an exercise
in wish making. Origami cranes have become a symbol of renewal, atonement,
and warning. Their symbolism may have emerged out of Japan’s particular
mythology and history, but they do not belong to any one nation. The crane
is a migratory bird that crosses borders and makes its home with scant
regard to the blood-soaked lines that humans have drawn on maps.

This anthology uses origami cranes as a way for some of India’s best-known
writers, poets, and artists to form a shared civic space for a conversation
about the fault lines in India at a time of darkness. The twenty-three
pieces collected here encompass reportage, stories, poems, memoir, and
polemic—the kind of complex and enriching diversity that India demands and
deserves. The paper crane becomes a motif of connection, beauty, and
reclamation in an otherwise degraded country, enabling those who fight with
words to become the best army they can be.

[Origami] website for gorgeous paper -- decorated endpapers in old books in University of Modena law library

Hi, folders,

http://www.fondiantichi.unimore.it/FA/lega/legature_table_carte.html  *Carte
decorate della Biblioteca universitaria giuridica*

You can print out these beautiful patterns of marbled and woodblock
endpapers and cut them to the size you want.
I made my Silhouette Crane from this woodblock print
http://www.fondiantichi.unimore.it/FA/lega/FA0547.html
and sent a photos as a thank you to the  Modena librarian who created the
website -- I'm sure Andrea Lodi would enjoy seeing what you use them for!
(If you can read Italian, the headnotes to the patterns are,in themselves, an
education in  the history of endpapers .)

Happy folding!

if for example they are endpapers, you will see them with images from

boards, spine, maybe edges;

[Origami] Origami sighting — money folds in art exhibition

[Karen Reeds]


May 3, 2022

This week’s New Yorker magazine (May 9, 2022, p. 14-15, 
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/05/09/making-art-out-of-inflation ) has 
a very interesting piece about  the artist, Carla Zaccagnini, and her solo 
exhibition at Amant (April-August 2022),  a nonprofit art space in Brooklyn. 

The show, Cuentos de Cuentos/Accounts of Accounting, included a section called 
“Fleeting Fleets” —“dozens of busted currency boats” folded from  Latin 
American banknotes that had been discontinued because of hyperinflation. 

(Money folds? Poverty folds? Both would be accurate.) 

Amant’s website for the show:

I’m sorry I missed it!

[Origami] Origami chests of drawers?

[Karen Reeds]

12/5/2021

Hi, Gerardo

Not quite what you want, but I think this is worth mentioning. 

The late Laura Kruskal created a box with a sliding drawer — rather like a 
matchbox or pencil box — which I imagine could be adapted to make a Chest of 
Drawers. She never taught it to the Princeton Public Library  Origami Group, 
and I doubt it was published. But I wouldn’t be surprised if someone has 
Laura’s verbal directions, a sample, or a photo. 

In haste,

Karen

 I can imagine a really interesting presentation centering on the ways our
ephemeral art of origami shapes our own places and spaces. (I dearly wish
I'd been able to take really good photos of Laura Kruskal's home AKA
Origami Center of America.)

If you want to submit a proposal, do it right away.

Hi All,

The Ephemera Society is still accepting submissions so if you're
interested, send something in ASAP. It looks like a fun topic!

Call for Presentations Ephemera 42: Creating Places and Spaces

One of the fascinating things about society is how we create our living
environments, whether it is the city or community in which we choose to
live or our own living room. Ephemera 42 will focus on the design of
environments, interior and exterior, ranging in scale from regional
planning and urban design, to the architectural detail or sidewalk
lamppost. This rich topic encompasses design innovations, stylistic and
regional movements, architects, landscape architects, urbanists, draftspersons
and craftspeople—anyone and anything that serves to shape the environment
in which we live.

Creating Places and Spaces is an exciting theme, but also a broad one. What
says home to you — skyscraper or beach cottage? Pocket-sized garden or New
York’s Central Park? We look forward to hearing proposals on ideas like
these:

   - Architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Julia Morgan, I.M. Pei, Daniel
   Burnham, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Louis Sullivan, Christopher Wren.•
   Design Styles such as classical, beaux arts, prairie school, modern, art
   deco, Greek revival.
   - Exterior Spaces like parks, Japanese tea gardens, water features,
   formal English-style gardens, casual country gardens and/or landscape
   architects or designers such as Frederick Law Olmsted, Capability Brown,
   Beatrix Farrand, Thomas Church, Walter J. Hood.
   - And Beyond! Green buildings; tech innovations driving new furnishings
   or styles; Victorian patent furniture; window treatments, wallpaper,
   color schemes; the parlor vs. the living room; the origins and evolution of
   indoor plumbing, labor-saving appliances, the suburbs; Hoosier cabinets;
   the “City Beautiful” movement; and the changing definition of the “home
   of the future.”

Ephemera 42, the Ephemera Society of America (ESA) annual conference, will
take place at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich, Connecticut on March 18, 2022.
Each speaker will address a topic related to the creation of places and
spaces, relying heavily on tangible ephemera—blue prints, broadsides for
land promotions, catalogues for components, color boards, correspondence
between architects and clients, preliminary designs, final designs,
legislation, litigation, political posters, sample books, sketch books, and
virtually anything else used in or influencing the creation of our
environments—to illustrate their subject.

We invite you to submit proposals for presentations. Each presentation will
be 30 minutes in length, followed by a brief Q&A. Please submit the
following:

Presentation title and a written abstract, focusing on the way ephemera
tells the story of your chosen topic. Please describe the specific types of
ephemera you will use to illustrate your topic. Each presentation needs to
feature at least three different types of ephemera. Proposals should not
exceed 150 words.

   - 5 to 6 representative ephemera images;
   - A one-paragraph biography, including any affiliations; and
   - Mailing address, phone number and e-mail address.

Following a review of all proposals received, finalists will be asked to
submit the following:

   - 20 to 25 images of the types of ephemera that will be used to
   illustrate your talk; and
   - A jpg photograph of yourself for publicity purposes.

Proposals must be submitted to Barbara Loe, Ephemera 42 Conference Chair,
by e-mail at bj...@earthlink.net or by post to Barbara Loe, Ephemera
Society of America, Inc., P.O. Box 95, Cazenovia, NY 13035-0095.

*Decisions and notification about proposals will be made by October 31,
2021. *Presenters will be requested to sign a release at the time of
acceptance allowing their presentation to be filmed for use by the ESA.

If selected, a draft PowerPoint presentation must be submitted by February
28, 2022. The final presentation must be submitted by March 7, 2022.
Presentations must include 25 or more ephemera images. At this time,
funding is unavailable from ESA to support travel or presentation costs.

The Ephemera Society is eager to expand the use of ephemera in the
classroom, and we encourage presentations on all subjects addressing the
use of ephemera

[Origami] Better link …lThese Paper Airplanes Fly Like Birds | Audubon

[Karen Reeds]

The link in my earlier post today didn’t work for me, but this older one does ( 
April 2020). I liked the accounts of 4 different kinds of bird flight.

In a friend’s copy, I noticed Among summertime bird-related activities for kids 
- directions/diagrams for a paper airplane: “Take Flight. Wings are one of 
birds’ most impressive adaptations…”  3 more wing designs at:

Hi, David M. (and anyone else with information)

Please do say more about evidence for the likely German origins of the Magazine 
Cover Box. 

You’ve  made me very curious. 

How can independent invention be ruled out!

Thanks,

[Origami] Not Origami, but Kirigami history in 17th Century Netherlands “Joanna Koerten's Scissor-Cut Works Were Compared to Michelangelo” | JSTOR Daily

[Karen Reeds]

6/16/2021

I have always loved 17th C Dutch art, but I had no idea that papercutting
was part of it. These articles do not mention the possibility of
interactions between the Dutch and Japanese  in this period -- a topic I
hope a kirigami historian will follow up.

https://daily.jstor.org/joanna-koertens-scissor-cut-works-were-compared-to-michelangelo/

See also the link at end of daily.jstor.org article for open-access article
with lots of illustrations of Koertens's work and a portrait of her with
scissors in hand.:

Paper as power: Carving a niche for the female artist in the work of Joanna
Koerten Author(s): Martha Moffitt Peacock Source: Nederlands

https://www.jstor.org/stable/43883877

Peacock notes an anonymous Dutch handbook with instructions for beginning
papercutters, that includes something about folding paper: *Konstig en

Two Women Fell Sick From the Coronavirus. One Survived.
By Sui-Lee Wee and Vivian WangMarch 13, 2020
The young mothers didn’t tell their children they had the coronavirus. Mama was 
working hard, they said, to save sick people.

Instead, Deng Danjing and Xia Sisi were fighting for their lives in the same 
hospitals where they worked, weak from fever and gasping for breath. Within a 
matter of weeks, they had gone from healthy medical professionals on the front 
lines of the epidemic in Wuhan, China, to coronavirus patients in critical 
condition.

The world is still struggling to fully understand the new virus, its symptoms, 
spread and sources. For some, it can feel like a common cold. For others, it is 
a deadly infection that ravages the lungs and pushes the immune system into 
overdrive, destroying even healthy cells. The difference between life and death 
can depend on the patient’s health, age and access to care — although not 
always.

The virus has infected more than 132,000 globally. The vast majority of cases 
have been mild, with limited symptoms. But the virus’s progression can be 
quick, at which point the chances of survival plummet. Around 68,000 people 
have recovered, while nearly 5,000 have died.

The fates of Ms. Deng and Dr. Xia reflect the unpredictable nature of a virus 
that affects everyone differently, at times defying statistical averages and 
scientific research.

As the new year opened in China, the women were leading remarkably similar 
lives. Both were 29 years old. Both were married, each with a young child on 
whom she doted.

Ms. Deng, a nurse, had worked for three years at Wuhan No. 7 Hospital, in the 
city where she grew up and where the coronavirus pandemic began. Her mother was 
a nurse there, too, and in their free time they watched movies or shopped 
together. Ms. Deng’s favorite activity was playing with her two pet kittens, 
Fat Tiger and Little White, the second of which she had rescued just three 
months before falling sick.


Before the epidemic, Ms. Deng had promised to take her 5-year-old daughter to 
the aquarium.
Dr. Xia, a gastroenterologist, also came from a family of medical 
professionals. As a young child, she had accompanied her mother, a nurse, to 
work. She joined the Union Jiangbei Hospital of Wuhan in 2015 and was the 
youngest doctor in her department. Her colleagues called her “Little Sisi” or 
“Little Sweetie” because she always had a smile for them. She loved Sichuan hot 
pot, a dish famous for its numbingly spicy broth.


Dr. Xia loved traveling with her family. She had recently visited Wuzhizhou 
Island, a resort destination off the southern coast of China.
When a mysterious new virus struck the city, the women began working long 
hours, treating a seemingly endless flood of patients. They took precautions to 
protect themselves. But they succumbed to the infection, the highly contagious 
virus burrowing deep into their lungs, causing fever and pneumonia. In the 
hospital, each took a turn for the worse.

One recovered. One did not.

Symptoms

Onset of virus & hospitalization

The symptoms came on suddenly.

Dr. Xia had ended her night shift on Jan. 14 when she was called back to attend 
to a patient — a 76-year-old man with suspected coronavirus. She dropped in 
frequently to check in on him.

Five days later, she started feeling unwell. Exhausted, she took a two-hour nap 
at home, then checked her temperature: It was 102 degrees. Her chest felt tight.

A few weeks later, in early February, Ms. Deng, the nurse, was preparing to eat 
dinner at the hospital office, when the sight of food left her nauseated. She 
brushed the feeling aside, figuring she was worn out by work. She had spent the 
beginning of the outbreak visiting the families of confirmed patients and 
teaching them to disinfect their homes.

After forcing down some food, Ms. Deng went home to shower, and then, feeling 
groggy, took a nap. When she woke up, her temperature was 100 degrees.

Fever is the most common symptom of the coronavirus, seen in nearly 90 percent 
of patients. About a fifth of people experience shortness of breath, often 
including a cough and congestion. Many also feel fatigued.

Both women rushed to see doctors. Chest scans showed damage to their lungs, a 
tell-tale sign of the coronavirus that is present in at least 85 percent of 
patients, according to one study.

In particular, Ms. Deng’s CT scan showed what the doctor called ground-glass 
opacities on her lower right lung — hazy spots that indicated fluid or 
inflammation around her airways.

The hospital had no space

[Origami] Another reason to keep on folding! "[Unfolded] Microprotein Could Point to New Therapeutic Targets for Diverse Human Diseases

[Karen Reeds]

https://www.genengnews.com/news/microprotein-could-point-to-new-therapeutic-targets-for-diverse-human-diseases/

This article from Genetic Engineering  News doesn't specifically say
origami anywhere, but I'm sure the word will work its way into the
microprotein/unfolded protein response literature.

"The Salk scientists have now characterized a 54 amino acid microprotein
called PIGBOS, which their studies indicate may be key to molecular
pathways involved in dealing with a particular form of cell stress. Cells
routinely encounter stress that negatively impacts on cell health and
function, the authors stated. The accumulation of unfolded proteins in the
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a common stress, and this triggers a
conserved pathway called the unfolded protein response (UPR), which acts to
mitigate damage caused by this buildup. While stress-responsive genes,
proteins, and pathways provide a cellular mechanism to cope with this form
of cellular stress and return cells to homeostasis, dysregulation of the
UPR underlies several debilitating diseases. “Cells with an insufficient
capacity to handle protein production begin to accumulate unfolded or
misfolded proteins, which causes ER stress and triggers UPR,” the authors
commented. ”UPR dysfunction contributes to accumulation of key
disease-related proteins, and thus plays an essential role in the
pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s
disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease.”

[Origami] Origami sighting: "Take A Chance on a Book Fortune-teller" at the library reference desk

[Karen Reeds]

Just spotted at the Princeton Public Library Reference desk:
a Fortune-teller that leads to reading suggestions. Outer pockets have
colors to spell out. The Blintz layer has categories (mystery, memoir,
format...) with a # . The Innermost square gives 16 titles/authors to try
out.

I can send photos it you are curious.

[Origami] Golden Venture style peacocks, by Cathy Tsao, exhibited in NJ

[Karen Reeds]

I looked up Cathy Tsao's origami after a friend sent me a photo of her elegant 
Peacock model, using Golden Venture paperfolding techniques, in the MCCC 
Gallery show: 
https://www.nj.com/times/2019/06/fine-arts-its-a-picture-perfect-season-to-visit-the-gallery-at-mercer-county-community-college.html

I'm not sure how to post that photo, but here's a photo of another Peacock 
model she has on exhibit/for sale at Stark & Stark, a law firm in

[Origami] Inflatable origami (and origami for people with disabilities)

[Karen Reeds]

4/17/2019
Hi, Dawn,

A year ago (Jun 5, 2018), in response to your question about Waterbomb
variations, I mentioned my "Pinless Pin-wheel." Forgive me for
incorporating bits of that post now without quotes.

"Pinless Pin-wheel" is  diagrammed in OUSA Convention Book 1988, p 243. It
was inspired by the Blow-up Rabbit, so I count it as a cousin of the
Waterbomb. Origami Database, https://www.oriwiki.com/odbInfo.php
https://www.oriwiki.com/showModel.php?ModelID=7100
https://www.giladorigami.com/origami-database/Pinwheel%20Karen%20Reeds

The short directions: Make rabbit-ear folds on each flap of the Waterbomb
base. Crease the open end firmly horizontally as high up as comfortable.
Blow into the hole to inflate the model. The result is a pyramid with 4
vanes.
Put a pencil in the hole, blow, and watch the Pinwheel spin. If you use a
straw instead of a pencil, blow into the straw and send the Pinwheel flying
into the air. [Plastic straws are going out of use for good environmental
reasons, so I am laying a supply of paper straws.]

(Back in 2002 , Dorothy Kaplan noted that she used a barbecue skewer and
didn't bother with the inflating. Still spun around nicely.)

This past week I visited a friend who is slowly recovering from a stroke.
She couldn't talk much but she enjoyed watching me make the Pin-wheel. I
think that puffing on the model to make it spin was probably good therapy
for her breathing and talking. Puffing on the straw to make the model jump
up in the air was a happy surprise for her. (I also made a bunch of smaller
versions as flowers for her.)

The series of 3 inflatable models -- traditional Waterbomb, traditional
Blow-Up Bunny, and the Pinless Pin-wheel -- was a hit at the April 2019
Princeton Public Library Origami Group meeting.

Happy Folding and Puffing!

[Origami] obituary for Laura Kruskal (1923-2019) -- and collecting Laura's Crown models

[Karen Reeds]

(with no apologies for cross-posting)
3/20/2019
Dear friends,

Laura's obituary appeared in the local Princeton weekly paper today, Town
Topics (3/20/2019).
http://www.towntopics.com/wordpress/category/obituaries/

*Laura Kruskal*

Laura Kruskal, renowned and beloved creator and teacher of origami, died
on February 6, 2019 at the age of 95. Laura was a sparkling personality,
who drew people to her and impressed them with her unique charm. She wrote
and sang origami songs, like the “International Origami Anthem,” and
performed origami raps as she taught her original paper fold models,
whether to students in schools and libraries or to origami enthusiasts at
conventions.

Laura received her undergraduate degree with a biology major and chemistry
minor from Hunter College, and her master’s degree from New York
University. She was introduced to origami by her mother-in-law, the late
Lillian Oppenheimer, who popularized origami in the United States. It was
also through Lillian that Laura was introduced to her husband of 56 years,
the late Martin David Kruskal.

Laura literally thought outside of the box, as she created origami models
which could be folded from a rectangle rather than from the traditional
square. She started this technique as she traveled the world, often to
exotic places, with Martin David, a world-famous mathematician and
physicist. It wasn’t always easy to find origami paper, but letter-sized
computer paper was plentiful, and her creations worked equally well with
pages from magazines, which made them very accessible. Laura taught her
original origami models for years in the Princeton area and around the
world, not only at origami conventions, libraries, and schools, but also in
prisons, in restaurants, in buses, and anywhere where people were intrigued
by her and her art.

Laura is survived by her three children, Karen Kruskal (and
daughter-in-law, Sheera Strick), Kerry Kruskal, and Clyde Kruskal; five
grandchildren, David Strick (and his wife, Jennifer Levy), Emma Kruskal,
Alexander Kruskal, Justin Kruskal, and Rebecca Kruskal; and two great
grandchildren, Ryan Strick and Lyla Strick.

If you have photos or examples or diagrams for Laura's Crowns, please send
them to Wendy Zeichner. wzeich...@gmail.com  OrigamiUSA wants to make a
collection of all the OrigamiUSA Convention Crowns Laura created for us
over the years:

Thanks!

Hi, Judy

Thanks for sharing that lovely idea! Now start adding the info about your
meetings to those models!

Laura Kruskal would teach a simple Heart model in February for Valentine's
Day and then, for March, fold 4 Hearts in green paper and arrange them into
a 4-Leaf Clover, as a good-luck table decoration for St. Patrick's Day.

I like to make my Pinless Pinwheel action model to celebrate March winds.

[Origami] Origami sighting —origami in pills

[Karen Reeds]

The online article, "Teaching Old Drugs New Tricks "  AARP Magazine.
November 2018, has photos, but not clear enough to see the origami folds.

Karen  11/20/2018
"The Origami Robot

This tiny, biodegradable robot unfolds itself from a frozen capsule and
then scoots around in the stomach, controlled by magnets outside the body.
So far it has removed foreign objects and repaired wounds in an artificial
stomach. Its creators in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory say ingestible
robots may someday perform surgeries and deliver drugs, too.


The Accordion Pill

Made of pleated, biodegradable, medical-grade film encased in a capsule,
the Accordion Pill unfurls when the capsule dissolves in stomach fluid. The
pleated film releases the medication, tucked into its folds, for up to 12
hours. The pill was designed as a delivery system for meds, such as the
Parkinson’s disease treatment carbidopa/levodopa, that are best absorbed in
a slow, steady manner in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract.

[Origami] buildings from paper? Shigeru Ban on Emergency shelters made from paper

[Karen Reeds]

11/12/2018

Hi,  friends

I volunteer with ScienceMentors 1:1, a program in Trenton, New Jersey, that
gets high school kids doing science/environmental/engineering research
projects with adult mentors. One theme of this year's program is housing,
especially for homeless people in Trenton. (Some of the kids in the program
are or have been homeless.)

The work by Japanese architect, Shigeru Ban, with cardboard paper tubing is
an inspiration:
https://www.ted.com/talks/shigeru_ban_emergency_shelters_made_from_paper/discussion

Can you suggest other information on houses, shelters, buildings,
construction methods... using paper as the primary material, whether or not
they use origami?

I feel sure I have seen some (maybe even posted some to this list), but
can't locate them in my own origami files.

I'd also be glad to have suggestions of 3-D origami models of houses,
apartment buildings

Many thanks!

Thank you, Sy! That is a beautiful, useful, solar-powered design! I've just
ordered one through the IndieGoGo crowd-funding site. If only it were ready
for Halloween tomorrow!

I especially like the fact that my order includes a donation of a SoLight
to an Indonesian family affected by the 2018 tsunami. Our Princeton Public
Library Origami group got its start shortly after the terrible 2004
Indonesian tsunami. A kid at an origami program at Cotsen Children's
Library, Princeton University, asked me how to make an origami Wave. That
was the inspiration for a series of tsunami relief fundraisers using
origami. Our group emerged from that effort--and members recently
contributed generously to  UNICEF's tsunami relief efforts. (This reminds
me that I should send the Simple Wave model to World Origami Days:

[Origami] origami kinetic art -- Call for Entries, "A Cache of Kinetic Art"

[Karen Reeds]

This is a heads-up for creators of intricate action paper-folded
sculptures.

The Morris Museum in Morristown NJ (an hour's drive west from Manhattan) is
putting on a series of exhibitions of kinetic sculpture over the next 3
years: "A Cache of Kinetic Art"

It just sent out this call for entries for their upcoming Simply Steampunk
show:

https://morrismuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2019-Simply-Steampunk-Exhibition-Prospectus.pdf

I asked the curator, Michele Marinelli, whether origami sculptures would be
considered. She sent back this friendly reply:

As you are aware, the theme for 2019 is "Simply Steampunk,"
and the submissions we are expecting (and receiving) heavily incorporate
various types of machinery, e.g.  Victorian machine fantasies like those of
Jules Verne, combining science, technology, engineering, art and math
(STEAM).

I'm sure not kinetic origami works will sufficiently fit this year's theme,
but they can certainly contribute to "Tiny Intricacies" 2020 and "Timeless
Movements," 2021.   I hope to have the prospectus for 2020 (and possibly
2021) completed and sent out by the end of this November, allowing artists
more than enough time to conceive and fabricate works they want to submit.

If you or someone you know creates works incorporating origami that fit
within the Steampunk theme, which we've intentionally left quite broad,
please feel free to pass the information forward!


She also seemed receptive to my suggestion that educational programs on
origami action models might be a good complement to the exhibitions.

Whether or not origami makes it into the Morris Museum, I'm hoping that
just the idea of the exhibition inspires some great new paper-folded
creations.

[Origami] Inchworm action model—who created?

[Karen Reeds]

I just learned this utterly simple, utterly charming model. At The Origami 
USA2018 Convention, Belle Fernandez taught it to Millie Richardson who taught 
it to me (and I taught it to Janet Derr and her sister at breakfast just 
now...). As far as I’m concerned, this is the hit of the Convention! I’ll teach 
it at the Public Access table today. But who is the creator? Whoever it is, 
THANK YOU!

Directions:
1 x 5 rectangle, thin paper ,  duo if possible. Fold into 5 squares thus:
Valley-fold the 2 end squares. Mountain-fold the 3 center squares. 
The result is a hump with 2 flat ends. 
On one end square, diagonally mountain-fold the tips of 2 loose corners to make 
2 little eyes.
Model done!

Now the action:
Blow gently down on the center square to flatten the hump. The hump will pop up 
and the model will move slightly on.

Re: [Origami] Variations on a Classic -- Waterbomb variations

[Karen Reeds]

Hi, Dawn6/5/2018

My model, Pin-Less Pinwheel, diagrammed in
OUSA Convention Book 1988.Page 243, was inspired by the Blow-up Rabbit, so
I count it as a cousin of the Waterbomb.

The short directions: Make rabbit-ear folds on each flap of the Waterbomb
base. Crease the open end firmly horizontally as high up as comfortable.
Blow into the hole to inflate the model. The result is a pyramid with 4
vanes.
Put a pencil in the hole, blow, and watch the Pinwheel spin. If you use a
straw instead of a pencil, blow into the straw and send the Pinwheel flying
into the air.

I must have posted something about this to the list long ago -- in an email
file from 2002, I find this lovely message from the late Dorothy Kaplan:

[Origami] Origami sighting: red, white, and blue crane on book jacket

[Karen Reeds]

While I was browsing Rowman & Littlefield's website, the crane on the cover
of this new book caught my eye:

Peace Works: America's Unifying Role in a Turbulent World, by Frederick D.
Barton (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018)
https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781538113011

I asked who deserved the credit for the striking design and got this
response from Sally Rinehart, the publisher's Senior Designer:

"Hi Karen! Thanks for reaching out. I made the origami crane for the cover,
though I have to admit the final image is a bit retouched due to my lack of
origami experience (and the technical limitations that come with
constructing a DIY photo studio a cubicle). Thankfully there are YouTube
tutorials for nearly everything!"

Clearly, it's time for Sally to spread her origami wings and come to the
OrigamiUSA convention next month! The diplomat author, now based in
Princeton, has an open invitation to the Princeton Public Library Origami
Group, of course.

If you're not fussy and the size of the paper isn't at issue, there's the
brute-force method: divide into parallel 4ths and cut off the extra.

[Origami] write a scholarly paper on origami/East Asian pop cultures? [Fwd H-Material-Culture]

CFP for Mechademia 12.2, Materialities Across Asia
<https://networks.h-net.org/user/login?destination=node/1748155>
by Frenchy Lunning

Your network editor has reposted this from H-Announce
<https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/1733076/cfp-mechademia-122-materialities-across-asia>.
The byline reflects the original authorship.
Type: Call for Papers
Date: June 15, 2018
Location:
United States
Subject Fields:
Asian History / Studies, Cultural History / Studies, Art, Art History &
Visual Studies, East Asian History / Studies, Film and Film History



For the second issue of 2019, the Mechademia: Second Arc journal will focus
on the theme of Materialities Across Asia. Authors are invited to submit
papers on this topic of 5000-7000 words by *June 15, 2018* to submissions
[at] mechademia.net.


Materiality, and the issues of agency, diversity, and access that extend
from particular collections and condensations of materials, have become
topics of increasing interest for both fans and scholars of Asian media in
recent years. As an aesthetic concept, “materiality” opens up questions as
to the relative nature of truth that appears in material objects, and
yields a flurry of discussions from various theoretical positions
concerning the makers, processes, markets, theories, and reception of these
objects. Anime, manga, and gaming, as the primary materials of the otaku
culture, have long since acted as originary objects in the study of the
Asian media mix, in part due to the early introduction of such products
into the global market for toys and other youth-oriented commodities.



However, “materialities across Asia” is a much broader field than its
Japan-associated media mix, and it is becoming increasingly important for
English-language publications to investigate the massive field of globally
related objects emerging from various national, pan-Asian, and
transnational contexts. As many works are now created through transnational
production systems, a focus on materiality calls into question the presumed
relation of many cultural objects to their supposed nation of origin. Along
with “Japanese” anime, plastic models, and Sanrio “fancy goods,” (which are
in fact often produced in China and South Korea), it is necessary to
explore the full gamut of pop-culture related objects in Asia, from
Taiwan’s cute and trendy religious figurines of local deities made for sale
in domestic Family Marts to the many products related to Korean pop idols
and K-drama stars available in Japanese shops and abroad, to name just a
few examples. The impacts of this glut of material objects and their
consequences in the aesthetic, cultural, economic, and environmental realms
are a growing concern for theorists and artists in this field.



For this volume of Second Arc, the editors invite papers of 5000 words or
less which present new research on the historical manifestations and
ongoing impacts of material objects related to East Asian popular culture.
Papers should address the causes and potential effects of this messy
constellation of “things,” not only for contemporary cultures and economies
on the macro scale, but also for the individual makers and users who are on
the vanguard of interpretation, reception, and indeed the very development
of these emerging materialities.

We welcome papers treating, among other themes:

   - The material production processes of visual media, e.g. animated films
   and series, special effects/tokusatsu films, manga/manhwa, puppet plays,
   etc.
   - Collecting and collector culture
   - Archives, databases, and recordings of material culture, e.g. fanzine
   archives
   - Ephemera and memorabilia (pamphlets, event programs, promotional
   items, giveaways, signs, posters, etc.) and their role in fan culture
   - Representing “living objects”: robots, cyborgs, automata, and figures
   that question the dividing line between “object” and “subject”
   - Sex, gender, and “objectification”
   - 2.5D texts and performances
   - Historical trends of development, rupture, or continuity in the
   aesthetic traits, circulation, and reception of material objects
   - Digital materials and materialities
   - Material authenticity
   - Labour and class in pop culture industries
   - Ownership, copyright, and commerce
   - Subcultures based on material objects, collections, fashions, etc.
   - “Brand nationalism” and the integration of goods into discourses of
   national and transnational identity

Submissions should be 5000-7000 words. The Mechademia Style Guide and Essay

[Origami] Origami Database -- small suggestion, small correction

[Karen Reeds]

Thank you, Dennis and Helma, for all the work that you've put  into
improving the Oriwiki origami database,  http://www.oriwiki.com !

 Here's a small suggestion to make browsing easier. When a category has so
many entries that it overflows its first page -- e.g., creators names
beginning with the letter K -- you have a pointer at the top of to the
next/previous batch, like this:  Prev  << Creators (K : 201 – 276)

Could you repeat that at the bottom of the page, please? it would save a
lot of scrolling, especially for readers who have to zoom in.

Small correction: you have 2 Creator entries listed for me, Karen Reeds (1
model in http://beta.oriwiki.com/showCreator.php?PersonID=44434  and 21
models in http://beta.oriwiki.com/showCreator.php?PersonID=44437). Could
you combine them, please?

Hi, Wolf,  3/19/2018

I really hope you'll share your paper with the O-List!

 I'm skeptical that there was a single cause for the world-wide rise of
interest in origami. And I also doubt that the Ngram can give a complete,
fine-grained  picture of the timing, especially for the early years.

David Lister wrote an essay (late 1990s, I surmise) that argues for the
1950s and 1960s as the crucial period.
http://www.britishorigami.info/academic/lister/ori_books_50s.php
He also comments on the nuances of origami vs paperfolding:
http://www.britishorigami.info/academic/lister/ori_vs_paperfolding.php
(Try a "paperfolding" Ngram.)

Some questions to investigate about the timing that the Ngram suggests:

* How long after World War II  did it take for kami to get marketed outside
Japan?

* What prompted Dover Publications to reprint Murray and Rigney's 1928
classic. "Fun with Paper Folding" in 1960"?   [see Lister essay]

* When did the Charles E. Tuttle Co (now Tuttle Publishing), start putting
out origami books? Tuttle publishing was started  by an American military
man who married a Japanese woman in Occupation-era Japan.

* How did the introduction of cheap photocopying stimulate the sharing of
diagrams? 
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/duplication-nation-3D-printing-rise-180954332/
 (Origami sighting! witty  use of  paper airplanes in illustration by
Kotryna Zukauskaite)

* How did television spread paperfolding among children?  In the US, Shari
Lewis was  broadcasting children's shows starting in the early 1950s and
collaborated with Lillian Oppenheimer on the book Folding Paper Puppets
(1962, many reprints). Robert Harbin was teaching paperfolding on British
TV  in the 1970s.  http://www.britishorigami.info/academic/lister/shari.php

Thanks for raising this fascinating question!

[Origami] (not quite) origami sighting -- folded cardboard-box cradle

[Karen Reeds]

 An ingenious cardboard box to use as a cradle for infants, developed by a
Peace Corps volunteer who worked in Zambia and a product designer at the
University of Michigan.  The video shows how the box is assembled.

I can't figure out how the flat, unfolded box package would incorporate the
longer piece used for the V-shaped strut. And, remembering my own infants
(who slept in dresser drawers for the first few months).

[Origami] not-quite-origami Call for conference papers: Matrices The Social Life of Paper, Print, and Art

[Karen Reeds]

 Surely origami represents a great intersection in the social life of
paper, print, and art!  So I hope that someone will be moved to send in a
proposal.  [Dard Hunter wrote a classic history of papermaking. KMR]

 Karen  2/12/2018

FWD
The American Printing History Association (APHA) and the Friends of Dard
Hunter (FDH)  welcome proposals for their joint conference on October
25-27, 2018

Matrices
The Social Life of Paper, Print, and Art

At the University of Iowa Center for the Book
Iowa City, Iowa | October 25 to 27, 2018
Proposals are due March 31, 2018
CALL FOR PROPOSALS PDF
https://d3eb7xfyht02et.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/CFP2018.FDHAPHA.pdf

APHA and FDH invite proposals for presentations, demonstrations, and
workshops that explore the technological and cultural matrices of art
printed on or made from handmade paper. Today’s practitioners and scholars
have a rich archive of historical production methods and societal uses of
art on paper to draw from in their work and research. Be it decorative,
instructional, devotional, or functional artwork, how can this matrix of
origins and innovations be retrieved, shared, and developed? What have we
brought forward to fit what we make and use now, and what might we embed
for future makers and researchers?

We welcome presentations that consider developments worldwide from the
earliest printed images on paper in Asia, to the technological advancements
and expanding cultural engagement with art and illustration in the
Renaissance, to current uses in one-of-a-kind artworks, print editions, and
artist’s books.

Proposals are encouraged from practitioners and scholars across a range of
disciplines including papermaking, printing, printmaking, art history, book
arts, graphic design, book studies, history, religion, and material culture
studies.

Hearts for her!

[Origami] Laura Kruskal in rehab, recovering after a fall (apologies for crossposting)

[Karen Reeds]

Last Wednesday, Laura Kruskal had a fall at home which banged up her right
shoulder and leg. Last night she moved from the hospital to rehab and
is already
in the thick of physical therapy.

You'll know that Laura is OK when I tell you that, even in the Emergency
Room, she was teaching me one of her Heart models for the Princeton Public
Library Origami Group's next meeting! In the hospital, too, she was
folding, creating, and exchanging models with the staff.  For the move to
the rehab place, she packed all her stuff -- on her own feet, needing very
little assistance, and talking with me and another friend all the while.

I'll be happy to print out and pass along messages, photos, and models to
Laura. (It's hard for her to get email at the rehab place, and she is
getting lots of calls and visits from local friends. She'd been at the same
place a few years ago, and the physical therapists remembered her fondly.)

In addition to sending greetings,  please do fold a favorite model that
Laura created and taught you. As you fold it, please take step-fold photos
or draw diagrams (even rough ones), and email them to me
karenmre...@gmail.com . I'll add them to the F.O.L.K. ALBUM (Friends of
Laura Kruskal collection)  I've been compiling of her models.

Happy folding!

[Origami] 2 Origami sightings — Origami books in prisons; origami fortune-teller for 2018 economic forecast

[Karen Reeds]

“In Prisons, Chips But Not Chaucer,” by Gina Bellefante, New York Times,
Sunday Jan 14, 2018, metro section, p. 4
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/12/nyregion/why-prisoners-can-choose-cheetos-but-not-chaucer.html?_r=0
 :

[The NY State Department of Corrections was] moving ahead with an entirely
off-brand initiative whose disturbing effect was to reduce inmate access to
reading material.

The program, which was in a pilot phase in three prisons, confined what
inmates could receive to the inventory of six vendors who specialize in
prison care-packages and offer relatively few books that deviate from the
categories of religious text or insipid fiction. The impetus for it had
been concern over an increasing volume of heroin entering the prison
system. During a single week in April 2015, more than 25 people were
treated for overdoses across the state’s prisons. Last year, over Columbus
Day weekend, eight people were treated in a single facility.

But among those who would no longer be able to supply books to prisoners
was a volunteer organization called Books Through Bars that delivers
thousands of books a year to prisoners around the country free, about
cultural history, chess, origami, language-learning. ...

[Editors’ Note: January 14, 2018. The Big City column in the Metropolitan
section about a New York State prison program limiting prisoner purchases
to six venders (sic) contains outdated information. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo
canceled the program shortly after the Metropolitan section went to press.
The online version of the column has been updated to reflect the change.]

Hi, Dee   12/25/2017

I wonder what the economist would say about the dilemmas of money-folding.

Money-folds give added value (aesthetic) to the dollar bill -- sometimes so
much that people will pay for a beautiful money-fold model.

But, as often discussed on this list, if a money-fold is given as a tip, it
puts the recipient in a quandary: Do I save the tip for its beauty and the
feeling that my services really were valued?  Or do I destroy the model
because I really need that money?

Similarly, the folder who specializes in money-folds ends up with a lot of
$$ saved in the models. Although making the origami bought the folder lots
of pleasure, that money isn't earning interest or being spent.

Do tell us how the economist approaches those questions!

Karen

[Origami] OrigamiUSA holiday tree in The New Yorker

[Karen Reeds]

I just opened up the December 13-26,2017 issue of The New Yorker to find  a 
full-page color photo of some lovely models, an anonymous folder’s hands, and a 
nice caption about the history of the tree. It is at page 13, beginning of 
Goings On About Town section. 

I’ll show it off at the Princeton Public Library Origami Group meeting tomorrow 
in hopes of encouraging members to go see the tree.

[Origami] Origami in science: "Fluid-driven origami-inspired artificial muscles, " by Shuguang Lia, Daniel M. Vogt , Daniela Rus , and Robert J. Wood

[Karen Reeds]

My husband spotted this reference to a paper in the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Science of the USA.
http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/11/21/1713450114.full
- Shuguang Li, doi: 10.1073/pnas.1713450114
-

The most specific origami references seem to be in this passage:

" A 90% linear contraction can be produced by an origami skeleton using a
symmetrical zigzag geometry (Fig. 3*A*
<http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/11/21/1713450114.full#F3>). A
skeleton using a standard Miura-ori origami pattern is able to generate a
2D surface contraction (92% contraction ratio) when a vacuum is applied (Fig.
3*B* <http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/11/21/1713450114.full#F3>). A
3D skeleton using the water-bomb origami pattern can transform a spherical
structure to a cylindrical structure (91% contraction ratio) (Fig. 3*C*
<http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/11/21/1713450114.full#F3>). Using
an asymmetrical arrangement of the voids, a bending motion can be produced
on a beam-shaped skeleton (Fig. 3*D*
<http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/11/21/1713450114.full#F3>). A
flasher origami skeleton can generate a rotation (>>90°) and a 54%
contraction simultaneously using a single vacuum supply (Fig. 3*E*
<http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/11/21/1713450114.full#F3>)."

There's also a reference to:
