Origami (折り紙) is the art and technique of folding paper. It also refers to the two- and three-dimensional forms created in the process. The use of the term has been extended in modern times to include other materials such as metal, textiles, and it is also used in the biological sciences to describe folded structures like DNA. Although the word origami has Japanese roots, the practice itself is universal and its origin remains unknown. The goal is to transform a flat square sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. Modern origami practitioners generally discourage the use of cuts, glue, or markings on the paper. Origami folders often use the Japanese…

“How Many Times Can You Come Back?”. Hopkins replaces Jo Van Fleet in the Broadway play, Look Homeward, Angel. Her costar, Andrew Prine, shares his experiences in the play. After it closes, she tours with it for several months. Next, she is signed for the lead in Ma Barker’s Brood , a cheaply made independent film, but her rare unprofessionalism gets her fired. Then, William Wyler hires her for his next film, The Children’s Hour , the original play that was the basis for their 1936 film These Three. Actress Veronica Cartwright, who played Rosalie, shares her remembrances. When Hopkins’s mother dies at age eighty-four, she is overcome by anguish and cannot go to the funeral. Months later, pr…

The discipline of origami or paper folding has received a considerable amount of mathematical study. Fields of interest include a given paper model's flat-foldability (whether the model can be flattened without damaging it), and the use of paper folds to solve mathematical equations up to the third order. Computational origami is a recent branch of computer science that is concerned with studying algorithms that solve paper-folding problems. The field of computational origami has also grown significantly since its inception in the 1990s with Robert Lang's TreeMaker algorithm to assist in the precise folding of bases. Computational origami results either address origami design or origami fol…
