In the past?

 Last I heard, not too long ago, the U.S. government had re-opened the
internment camps, and was using them to hold the Cubans that Castro
had allowed to leave Cuba.  And it looked like they were stuck there "for
the duration".

By the way, does anyone know, are they still being held there?  What
happened
to those people?

Also, what happened to the Chinese people from that ship?  You remember.
 The Golden <something>.

There were also, similar WWII internment camps in Canada, so I think I read.
Wonder what happened to them.

The U.S.A. got cleverer during and after the Vietnam War.  At least, it
seemed
the government managed to keep most of the refugees stuck in camps in Asia,
"Out of sight, out of mind."  As far as I've heard, those refugee camps are
still
crammed.

Hmm... That would be interesting to see.  A map of where in the world there
were or are still refugee and internment camps, and how many people were
and are stuck in them.  The U.S.A., Eastern Europe, and the countries in
Asia
near Vietnam and Cambodia come to mind.  What's been happening in Africa
and South America and Central America?  Are people still disappearing?

For that matter, where are the ghettos, barrios, shanty towns, and
reservations
and such of the world, the segregated (isolated? at least socially and
economically) communities?

The U.S.A. has the Indian Reservations (or would you prefer Native
American?)
and whatever they call the similar areas set aside for native Hawaiians in
Hawaii.
I wonder, are those still run by the Department of the Interior?  Is it
still as corrupt
as it was infamous for being?   And those internment camps.  And the
chinatowns
and similar "ethnic neighborhoods", plus "the wrong side of the tracks", and
"inner cities" and "slums".  And a large prison population.

Japan used to have a system of, um, what were they called?, "hamlets"?,
where
the eta lived, the burakumin, "hamlet people", I think they are called,
still,
centuries after their ancestors lost a major war.

And Japan has that other system of segregated communities for the slave
laborers that Japan kidnapped from Korea, what was it, two generations ago?

I'm pretty sure those populations have still not been allowed to integrate
into
the larger community.

Don't know what happened to the "untouchables" in India, but I don't think
they
successfully integrated either.

I heard that the Turkish government tried to make its ethnic minority
invisible,
by legally forcing them to change their family names to Turkish names.
(Sorta reminds me of the part of Europe that forced its Jews to adopt
German last names, but they had to be double-word names, so they were
still recognizeable as Jewish.  Trying to make the discrimination invisible
to the outside world?)

And what's happening in Ethiopia these days?

And Mexico?

I am having the same problem.  I notice that your e-mail account is with
Yahoo, and my Yahoo account last received mail from the Origami List on
April 4.  I did all the things you are supposed to do, resubscribe, set it
to mail, unsubscribe and start all over again.  I have a second Yahoo
account for work related lists and I subscribed via that one.  No origami
e-mail.  In both cases I keep getting the response that I am subscribed and
it is set to mail.  In desperation I've opened up a Hotmail account, but I
have had bad luck with Hotmail before and the Origami List so I hope this is
a temporary solution.

I have yet to contact Yahoo because this all started when I was having some
other problems.  I also noticed a correlation, with a delay so it may not be
significant, with the naming of certain body parts on the list.  Hotmail has
restrictions, though with all the chat rooms Yahoo supports I hadn't thought
that this would be an issue with them.

Yes, I know I'm late.  I was called out of town toward the end of March and
was gone longer than expected and the one thing I forgot to take was the
information that would allow me to update the website.

Perry had for the last several months allowed me to mirror his current model
in gif format for the folks who can't use the Adobe Acrobat Reader.  It was
just one of the many ways he shared his knowledge and work with others.  His
encouragement, advise and generosity of spirit have always been a source of
inspiration to me.  I miss him greatly.

So, the Coot is up in gif format and the April Calendar features three of
his models: Squirrel, Buck the Bunny and Flutterby.

Hotmail has a history of problems (their spam filter

Subject: Voices for the Millennium

May  is Asian-American Pacific Islander Heritage Month and I would like to
develop some sort of simple origami "gift" to hand to each person who
attends one of the functions that we are planning.   The idea is to attempt
to keep everything in line with this year's theme which I just found out is
 "Voices for the Millennium".  At first I was totally stumped but then I
thought of  combining quotes with a simple fold.   Because it is May I'd
like to do the Flower Blossom and tuck a slip of paper with a quote into
each.  The quotes would come from Asian Americans which is another
challenge to find.

Since the people on this list seem to enjoy challenges and helping with
suggestions I thought I'd post this to see what other ideas might surface.

Rob and all

If you still have the message on your voicemail, and have no idea who placed
the call, it may be possible for the telephone service provider to track
back to the phone number used, and thereby at least close in on the
threatener. The exact date and time of the call will also help.

Unfortunately it is human nature to immediately delete such a message, in
which case all trace is probably lost, unless there is a call log kept by
the provider.

In any event, you should report such an incident to the authorities. They
may have received similar reports from others, and your information may be
the final piece they need to apprehend and deal with the offender.

Do not be a victim of such cowardly behaviour.

GWEN WILLIAMS

It is with great sadness that today I learned of Gwen Williams passing on to
join the ever growing number of origami enthusiasts that have departed our
world.  For many of the Dot.com generation Gwen Williams is unknown but
indirectly we are all affected by her volunteer spirit decades earlier when
she contributed to the organization now known as Origami/USA.  She was one
of the first seven board members of the organization and I remember many
years ago Michael Shall fondly recalling that the first five years that Gwen
was Treasurer she never re-imbursed herself for any of the organization's
postage she had paid for out of her own pocket.  I have heard many a fond
memory recalled over Gwen and her dear friend the beloved Lillian
Oppenheimer.  My earliest recollection of Gwen was as a teacher at the 1985
FOCA convention, my first and Gwen's last.  Not long after her husband
Oliver fell ill and Gwen was not able to get around as she used to.  It was
to be 8 years later before our paths would cross in a story that is filled
with remarkable co-incidence.  The curious may find the details in an
article I wrote about her in The Newsletter, Summer 1994.  But suffice to
say Gwen ended up residing in managed care here in Charlotte and I was a
regular visitor to her residence.  For some years we folded together and she
was well enough to attend our monthly meetings, later when she couldn't get
there the action of folding  is  what she would enjoy most on my visits to
her. Gwen did manage in some small way to be part of each festival and as I
write I'm recalling the magical moments of '96 when Mr & Mrs Yoshizawa made
a special visit to see her while they were here.  Gwen was always patient,
caring, and interested in everyone she met and through the art of origami
touched the lives of many.  This one included.

Challenge to find?
Should be able to find lots of Asian American
and Pacific Islander politicians from Hawaii
and California.

Maybe look up the speeches and such of
Senator Daniel Inouye from Hawaii,
S. I. Hayakawa from California,
Representative Patsy Mink from Hawaii (I think).
I'm sure there are lots of others I'm not remembering.

While you're at it, check out
Greg Louganis (Samoan-<something European>
    ancestry, adopted into a Greek-American family,
    the Olympic diver),
Dean Cain (actor in the TV Superman series,
    "Lois and Clark" I think it's called, mixed
    Japanese-<something I forget> ancestry,
    it really showed in his "baby" pictures,
    do a search on the Web for the pictures),
the two non-Japanese Sumo wrestlers (I can't
    remember either their original or Japanese
    names), they're both Pacific Islander
    ancestry, maybe Samoan?, ah! one of them
    goes by Akebono, I think his original name
    was Jesse <something beginning with a K?>,
Pat Morita, the actor, he's the mentor in the movie
    Karate Kid.

Oh, and see if you can find the back-issue of Geo
magazine, I think from their first year, with the
article on the Asian-American children fathered
by American GIs and left behind in Korea, Vietnam,
and other parts of Asia.  A related reference is the
Pearl Buck Foundation (or is that the Pearl S. Buck
Foundation?).

Also might look up HAPA, an organization for
Asian Americans, I think that's the right name,
the name comes from the Hawaiian word for

(Come to think of it, I get HAPA confused
with the Hawaiian word HAPAI, pregnant.

_sigh_

Back around 6th grade, I had a great
elementary school teacher, Mrs. Lei Hapai.
She was classic Hawaiian.  She would say
she was "part Hawaiian, part Scotch, part Filipino,
part Japanese, part ...", you get the idea.
Hapa to the max, and proud of it.

For some reason the Hawaiians had no
cultural inhibitions against interracial marriage,
which made for some neat people and families.

Sadly, I was told a couple years later, that she had died,
committed suicide, shot herself, because she'd been
told by her doctors that she  had some fatal disease,
and she didn't want to deprive her children of her
hard-earned estate by wasting it on her treatment.

Which I understand totally, and respect her choice.)

For the record, all six of my grandparents were
Japanese, and that's a quote!  :-D

Hi,

        It seems as though there are a lot of cat owners in the realms of the
folding world! My cats also play with my rejects (or 'origami rocks'!).
Sometimes they make their own rejects!
        One small item of interest though is that I discovered recently that
     catnip
has no attraction for my cats. They are just not interested. Apparently it's
a genetic thing (my cats are brother and sister) so don't be too surprised
if the catnip doesn't work.
        As for cat models, I'm quite fond of Alfredo Giunta's Kitten. It's a two
piece model, but it just looks so cute!

Hi everyone,

It's my turn to ask a model availability question, if you don't mind. After
a fairly extensive search involving my library and the Internet, I have
failed to find a cute, simple, origami baby chicken (a chick). I am going to
be teaching an origami workshop at a public library on Easter weekend. I am
putting together an Easter/spring theme and am set for tulips and bunnies. I
would like to include a chick but all I can find is hens and roosters! Does
anyone know where I could find a chick? Any help greatly appreciated!

As for teaching the class, well, it's going to be a learning experience for
me as well as the kids. I'm not going to sweat it if we don't get through
all three models-but I do want to have them all for dcor and a take-home

There's Kunihiko Kasahara's cute model in Creative Origami. On the other
hand, you could easily create your OWN chick model. Take a square,
fold two edges to the diagonal (make a kite) and fold it in half.
Using the broader end for the tail, make head and beak with two
or three reverse folds in an 'S' shape.  Lack of legs or wings
just adds to the cute-factor...

Hi all,

Thanks for your advice and tips.  Incidentally, the police did little more than
     waste my time, it seems.  The officer told me to "log any future calls",
     and that phone calls "can rarely be traced outside of state lines.  He

As it turned out, the culprit was a rather sick-minded individual who I know
     who recently purchased a new Soundblaster card, which comes with
     voice-altering software.  The software has a preset called "Kidnapper"
     which lets you speak into your microphone

Now, if he had only used the "male to female" voice conversion instead, I might

I found was in Secrets of Origami, & it didn't hop well.

A couple of ideas out of 15 cm paper:

1)  The traditional Chinese vase, diagrammed by Shen.  This is a lovely
design that works very well with ornate papers, especially anything with
gold.  Of course the tinier the pattern, the better.  Pour a bit of salt
inside the vase to help weigh it down, and it's ready for a small stem of
dried or paper flowers.

2)  Pat Crawford's swan.  Elegant design with beautiful sculptural quality.
Be it red, blue or black, it is still instantly recognizable.  In fact, I
like it better out of chiyogami than I do out of white paper.  It will end
up white underneath, colored on top..barely noticeable.  There is one
corner that becomes the tail feathers...I usually reverse the fold
orientation, so as to put a little more coloration on top.

I have used fabric stiffener for both of these pieces, particularly for
very *soft* chiyogami...spray on white side of paper only, or you risk
imparting a sheen.  Very useful for maintaining the crisp pleats with the
swan.

The Magazine that June wrote about is 6 issues a year. There is also a true
montly origami magazine put out by the Nippon Origami Association. I get my
subscription through Sasuga. I typically receive each issue in the 2nd week
of the month prior to the month on the magazine. I have been very happy with
Sasuga's treatment of me as a customer. I have affiliation with them except
as a customer. You can find them on the web: http://www.sasugabooks.com/ --
I deal with them by phone, so I don't really know how/if you can find the
NOA magazine subscription on their website or not.

The NOA magazine through Sasuga is a bit pricey ($12/issue), but I think
worth it. The models are mostly intermediate, some simple. The models do not
all start from a square nor are they limited to one sheet of paper per
model.

Whether the NOA magazine or the JOAS Magazine are "worth it" depends on what
you are looking for. ;-) I like both.

Hi all.

Yes! I've finally created something worth publishing...

Creating it was fun - I started out with an idea for a rabbit with color

further and lots of my friends and people at worked got horribly bugged by me
     asking them: "Do you recognize this?"
and "Yes, but is it just ANY rabbit?" my girlfriend - who is also the

Anyway - you can find it - along with diagrams for a dragon I created some

http://giladaharoni.homestead.com - under the diagrams section.

Please please please - if you try them out - let me know what you think of them

Subject: Re: FOLD on ebay - don't bid!

As another former FOLD member, I agree with Dorothy and Nick on principle
-- during my time, there was at least one discussion of making the 'zines
more widely available, and the group's feeling was definitely against it.

But I wonder if this isn't similar to someone's finding a stash of old letters
(members' contributions to FOLD were really letters to each other). What
would be the etiquette (legal or otherwise) regarding offering them for sale?
And what about us former members? After all, we own our own copies, and
the discussions I remember concerned extra copies. I think we assumed
none of us would sell our own, but what about when we pass on -- should
they be buried with us, or otherwise destroyed?

I think a case could be made that FOLD represented a significant part of
modern paperfolding history (as does -- did? -- IMAGIRO), and therefore it
is worth preserving. Mind you, I'm not making this case at the moment,
but if someone were to do so I think it might be hard to argue with.

In retrospect, I guess I'm not surprised that FOLD is showing up on the
market, and I expect that even if these copies are withdrawn others will
eventually appear. Maybe this incident can serve as a reminder to all
of us that if we truly expect our correspondence to be "private", we
shouldn't copy it and bind it and keep it around -- or, for that matter,
send it out to email lists like this one. And if we do those things, we
shouldn't say anything that we'd be embarrassed to see showing up
one day on e-Bay. . . .

Mike's comment reminded me of one other consideration that I sort of
hinted at in my earlier posting, but perhaps needs to be made more
explicit:

One thing that was always standard practice in FOLD--and was never
questioned, as far as I remember--was that we would send one copy of the
zine to the Origami Center (or the Friends, or whatever it was called in
those days) AND one personal copy to Lillian Oppenheimer while she was
alive.

Assuming that the issues sent to the New York office became part of the
Friends' library, there was nothing particularly private about anything
that anybody wrote in FOLD (although I'm sure one could argue that the
circulation of materials from the Friends' or OUSA library was probably
never on a par with that of the New York Public Library). I think this is
a case of closing the barn door after the horses have already left.

I was just wondering if anyone had a website with the history of Origami in
it somewhere. I am stuck doing a research report.

Does anyone have Tomoko Fuse's quilt book? Are the models good for
placemats or similar things?

Elise,

I have this book and it is very lovely :)  The 'quilts' would need to be
laminated or something but I think placemats would be an excellent idea and
I'm ashamed I hadn't thought of it :)P  I made several of these and tried
taping them up as wall hangings in my studio.  Unfortunately the tape
didn't hold and several of the units, which I had not needed to glue
together, got pretty banged up when they fell :P  Perhaps you could
sandwich a project with glass for a trivet or potholder?

If you enjoy modular folding this is another excellent and addictive book
to own :)

Later!

I know there are others, but one springs to mind because I visited it
recently: Origami Tanteidan, the official web site of JOAS, Japan Origami
Academic Society. Their site is located at http://origami.gr.jp/index.html
When you reach the home page, click on "variety", then click on "english" in
the upper left corner. Then click on "The History of Origami in Japan" by
Okamura Masao. Maybe someone else knows offhand of a site that has info on
the history of paperfolding in other lands.

Happy folding, Tom May

Subject: FOLD

Why not just take up a collection or bid for the item at auction?  That's the
     only action step that would definitely keep it out of someone's hands.

If that's even worthwhile.  If a "stranger" gets it, he or she will:

(1) think it's garbage because of the dialogue between people he/she doesn't
     know OR
(2) be truly inspired to join the origami community after seeing what a great
     group of people make it up.

You really can't lose...

As Bob Roos mentioned later copies of FOLD were sent to Lillian and perhaps
FOCA. It seemed to me that when that happened contributors stopped including
as many personal comments.  Best from Florence.

Courtney,
I have quite a lot of information on my site, courtesy of the origami
historian David Lister:

Also, David and others knowledgeable in origami history are members of
the list, so if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask!
