Cheetahs on the Edge by Greg Wilson
A National Geographic film crew captured stunning slow motion footage of cheetahs running in excess of 60 MPH using a Phantom high speed camera filming at 1200 frames per second. The camera was mounted to a high speed track.
The cheetah can run faster than any other land animal— as fast as 112 to 120 km/h (70 to 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m (1,600 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds.
Combining the resources of National Geographic and the Cincinnati Zoo, and drawing on the skills of a Hollywood action movie crew, we filmed cheetahs in a way that’s never been done before, for an article in the November 2012 issue of National Geographic magazine. See it at: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/201….
The extraordinary footage that follows comes from multiple runs by five cheetahs during three days of filming

V&D sentiment by Wim Goossens
The Bimbo Box (also known as Aapjeskast) is the name given to a rather unusual but fun type of Jukebox, featuring mechanically animated toy monkeys dancing along to whatever record is chosen – typically Tijuana Brass and similar genres of music. They were built during the 1960s and 1970s in Keulen, Germany, and widely used throughout the Netherlands in large shops, like V&D (Vroom & Dreesmann) and other department stores.

Strandbeest by Theo Jansen
Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist. In 1990, he began what he is known for today: building large mechanisms out of PVC that are able to move on their own, known only as Strandbeest. His animated works are a fusion of art and engineering; in a car company (BMW) television commercial Jansen says: “The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds.” He strives to equip his creations with their own artificial intelligence so they can avoid obstacles by changing course when one is detected, such as the sea itself.
