Courtney Palmer introduces us to the idea behind a full contact wildlife park vs. a zoo and the benefits to animals like Boom Boom the Rhino, in an all to short and abruptly ending video documentary at the Out of Africa Wildlife Park.
Dean Harrison owns and runs the Out of Africa Wildlife Park in Camp Verde, Arizona USA, and has comprehensively written about animal conservation and the essential elements of animal behaviour.

Currently on show at The Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, USA. is a solo exhibition of sound sculptures and installations by sound sculptor Zimoun, Curated by Matthew McLendon.
By using nothing more than 71cm x 71cm x 71cm plain cardboard boxes, numerous prepared dc-motors and an unspecified amount of 2mm flat steel wire, Zimoun has constructed a number of architecturally-minded walls, planes and floor mounted sound sculptures throughout his exhibition.

Professional photographer Kien Lam quit his job last year and took an incredible journey around the world to 17 Countries in 343 Days whilst snapping 6237 Photographs and in so doing stitched together a remarkable time lapse video he entitled Time is Nothing Around The World.
Using Logic Pro Kien's brother William Lam, composed the enticing spacial music track 'Places and Faces'.
If only time were really nothing how spacial and disorienting would our existence be ?
Nevertheless go here to view Kien's stunning video.
Well low and behold it's christmas and oh, oh oh, how so many of us hear the all too familiar christmas songs, hymns and tunes at this time, like Silent Night or Jingle Bells.
But I can think of no better way then to quench our heartfelt listening pleasure, at this time than with a universally recognised piece of music on the phenomenal sound of a glass harp,
I've often wondered when someone will invent festival sized daytime firework displays and so to the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha, Qatar, this week, Chinese born artist Cai Guo-Qiang who works primarily in gunpowder, staged his largest "explosion event" of the last three years.
Thousands upon thousands of people travel to distant regions of the globe and a good many take any amount of photographs of their visiting experiences. But how many of us get caught up in the vibrancy and energy and turn our photo albums into gratuitous video picture shows, I wonder ?
Rob Whitworth has done just that with his entertaining Traffic in Frenetic Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam video picture show. Rob created a time lapse from his accumulated 10,000 photographs and multiple short video's. Rob was captivated by the relentless raw energy and pace of change evident to him in Saigon and this is wholeheartedly echoed in his final edit married to an energetic music track of Mondo '77 by Looper.
is a time lapse study of the sky. Ken Murphy installed a camera on the roof of the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco captured an image of the sky every 10 seconds.
The following entertaining video is a mosaic of 360 time lapse movies, each showing a single day, are chronologically arranged and are synchronised by time of day, beginning before sunrise. Ken's specific intention was to reveal the patterns of light and weather over the course of a year.
The well chosen piece of music accompanying this video is Aerial by Moby.
3D fractals and psychedelic neurones peppered with momentary optical illusions among many abstract and structurally possible conceptual landscapes, appear and fold in bib993's (Jeremie Brunet) 'Like in a dream II' fractal animation.
Jeremie made this gloriously entertaining and peaceful animation with Mandelbulb3D and "originally designed it for Bryan Alvarez from UC Berkeley, for a TEDx talk about his Human Atlas project, to illustrate his initial dream about the beauty of living systems."
This comprehensively profound piece of cool transcendent mathematical volumes is based on a hybrid Julia fractal, where most fractal parameters are simultaneously being animated, as well as the Julia seed, the colors, and the camera position. One can only imagine that in order to achieve this multi level animation complexity all at once might actually require something more than the average off the shelf computer ?
Nevertheless, the exquisite choice of music track, glides and enhances our experience of, Like in a dream II fractal animation.

Usually when one thinks of yoga, we tend to think of intense meditative exercise, but the young chap in the video here reignites our imagination, by creating a groovy break-dance yoga routine that makes pure contortion look lame. The cool accompanying music track and the performance venue provides a sincere environment for us to appreciate this newish beautiful extreme sport !
Nevertheless is a showcase of ideas, inventions and creative inventiveness of individuals, groups and companies, concerns for things green that can help change a polluted and climate disrupted world. Also of interest is the harm that human penetration and exploitation is doing to the world around us especially habitat destruction and species extinction.
