The article features artists who use paper as a medium of art in New York City. Among them are Kirsten Hassenfeld, Maki Tamura and Jane South, who take paper in new directions by cutting, folding and layering the medium naturally and architecturally. The artists noted that they prefer to use paper because of its fragility. Leslie Jones of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art said that paper has stigma attached to it that cannot be compared with other works of art.

The article focuses on the artworks created by using a plain sheet of paper. As discussed, several paper and artwork's shows are being referred here including the one recently held at the Museum of Modern Art, New York that presented an inventive way to use paper and the Swiss German scissor cuts, which was started in 1500s. The article also informs about the book full of artworks, named "Papercraft," by design publisher Die Gestalten Verlag and famous cut-paper artists including Rob Ryan.

The article discusses William H. Johnson's World on Paper, a travelling exhibition featuring the works of African-American modernist painter William H. Johnson. He and his wife Holcha settled in New York. The wide selection of artworks reveal Johnson's stylistic development from his academic beginnings to more expressionistic representations, and finally to a distinctive form of figurative abstractionism incorporating influences from folk art, African art and his daily experiences in Harlem.

At the beginning of the 1950s, an amateur cinema clubs network started developing in Yugoslavia. These cinema clubs soon became centres of experimental films production and development. In order to understand Yugoslav experimental film in a more comprehensive manner, the author of the paper analyses its institutional and production framework at the time and states a thesis about the organized cinema amateurism as an aspect of identity homogeniza- tion of the Yugoslav society. The paper also touches on the relationship between this branch of film making and professional cinema, the discourse presence of which formed the position and (self)awareness of amateur experimentalists to a large extent. The comparative model for the analysis of emancipation and market position of Yugoslav experimental film is the New York City based The Film-Maker’s Cooperative, serving as a model for the attempt to organize Yugoslav experimental film via the JUFIKO initiative (the Yugoslav Film Cooperative). Amateur experimental film is looked at through the optics of commercial activities in the socialist system, opening neo-avant-garde ideological questions and the questions about the discipline to which this film belongs – is it “art” or “film”.

• Estimate link travel time with large-scale incomplete vehicle trip data. • Propose a path-recovery-based method to iteratively estimate link travel time. • Conduct extensive experiments on two public large-scale vehicle trip datasets. The widespread use of positioning devices has generated large-scale trip data, boosting the study of traffic modeling. For instance, New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission regularly releases over 165 million taxi trip records containing the end-point information of each trip every year. Such big datasets provide us potential new perspectives to tackle traditional issues in traffic modeling. In this paper, we propose to use such vehicle trip data, which do not contain information on the intermediate vehicle positions other than the end points, to study the link (road segment) travel time estimation problem. A method named PR-LTTE is developed to estimate the mean travel time for interested links in a road network based on path recovery, jointly modeling trip distance and trip travel time. The key idea is to iteratively alternate between 1) inferring the most likely path for a given trip by minimizing a loss function that considers both trip distance and trip travel time, and 2) computing the link travel time via the least-squares estimation with the inferred path. Our experiments on two large-scale trip datasets (including New York City taxi trip data and Chengdu DiDi trip data) show very promising results. PR-LTTE improves the accuracy of travel time estimation by more than 50% in most cases over state-of-the-art methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Exploiting deep learning techniques for traffic flow prediction has become increasingly widespread. Most existing studies combine CNN or GCN with recurrent neural network to extract the spatio-temporal features in traffic networks. The traffic networks can be naturally modeled as graphs which are effective to capture the topology and spatial correlations among road links. The issue is that the traffic network is dynamic due to the continuous changing of the traffic environment. Compared with the static graph, the dynamic graph can better reflect the spatio-temporal features of the traffic network. However, in practical applications, due to the limited accuracy and timeliness of data, it is hard to generate graph structures through frequent statistical data. Therefore, it is necessary to design a method to overcome data defects in traffic flow prediction. In this paper, we propose a long-term traffic flow prediction method based on dynamic graphs. The traffic network is modeled by dynamic traffic flow probability graphs, and graph convolution is performed on the dynamic graphs to learn spatial features, which are then combined with LSTM units to learn temporal features. In particular, we further propose to use graph convolutional policy network based on reinforcement learning to generate dynamic graphs when the dynamic graphs are incomplete due to the data sparsity i sue. By testing our method on city-bike data in New York City, it demonstrates that our model can achieve stable and effective long-term predictions of traffic flow, and can reduce the impact of data defects on prediction results.

Nearly 50 years after his death and a century after the then unknown physicist started challenging doctrine and stretching brains with his ideas, Albert Einstein remains not just scientifically relevant but a multipurpose icon as well. If anything, his stature has grown over the decades, fed by a steady stream of books, pop-culture references, and posthumous appearances in commercials and on T-shirts, coffee mugs, and most anything else that will sit still long enough to be stamped with a photo and a quote. But the more we see that image, the less we seem to know about the real Einstein and the work that made him famous. Thanks in large measure to an ambitious publishing effort, a much more nuanced view of the greatest scientist of the 20th century is taking shape. The Einstein Papers Project, now in its eighth volume, will ultimately publish some 14,000 original documents in a planned 25 volumes. Early drafts of famous papers are allowing historians to track the development of his ideas (he didn't pluck them fully formed from the cosmos after all) and his voluminous correspondence reveals a real human being. As a powerful new exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History in New York shows, the Einstein that emerges is at once darker, richer, and infinitely more fascinating than the friendly icon we thought we knew. Einstein himself attributed his success to a slow start. "A normal adult never stops to think about problems of space and time," he once wrote. "But my intellectual development was retarded, as a result of which I began to wonder about space and time only when I had grown up." According to family tradition, recorded by Albert's sister Maja in an unpublished biography, her brother was unusual from the start. Though he showed a remarkable ability to focus on difficult tasks like building houses of cards, he was slow to develop and didn't start speaking until at least the age of 2 1/2.

The author describes how "The New York Review of Books" has become increasingly politicized since the election of President George W. Bush. In the wake of the Vietnam War, the "Review" became a formidable--and, in some sense, unique--journalistic institution. Many of its readers reside in academia, but the paper has a devoted following in the upper reaches of media, politics and philanthropy, which gives it an influence vastly out of proportion to its circulation of 130,000. The publication has always been erudite and authoritative--and because of its analytical rigor and seriousness, frequently essential--but it hasn't always been lively, pungent and readable. But the election of George W. Bush, combined with the furies of 9/11, jolted the editors. Since 2001, the "Review's" temperature has risen and its political outlook has sharpened. In stark contrast to "The New Yorker" or "The New York Times Magazine," the "Review" opposed the Iraq war in a voice that was remarkably consistent and unified. What blew the dust off "The New York Review?" As war drew closer, and the press grew more accommodating and deferential, the "Review's" disgust increased, and the editors fired their heavy weaponry. The fall of Baghdad only deepened the fury of the "Review's" contributors. Judt is not the "Review's" only critical voice on Israel. What accounts for the "Review's" post-9/11 revival? One word that continually tumbles from the lips of seasoned "Review"-watchers is "Vietnam." In the case of Iraq, as with Vietnam, the "Review" saw what many other commentators missed or ignored.
