Moxie Marlinspike, in organisation with a Anarchist Yacht Club, is a filmmaker behind this "hastily done on a mechanism with a 14-day lapse policy" documentary about a everyman sailor.
After a brief black-and-white photo-based story doctrine about how a appearance of fiberglass boats authorised for people outward tip taxation brackets to turn sailors, and some of history's many unsound sailing feats, a film focuses in on a 4 fixtures of a film; Lisa, a captious overachiever with an unmatched courtesy to detail, a dedicated navigation backer named Allie, a strong-willed though mostly discombobulated organisation member with a gusto for dropping things into a sea going by Kirsten, and lastly a hippy anecdotist and solitary masculine in a crew, Moxie.
The story starts with Moxie responding an ad in a journal for a $1000 sailboat located circuitously Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. John, a male who placed a ad, picked Moxie adult from a circuitously sight hire and shuttled him to a waterway that ran by his behind yard where a Pearson 30 indication sailboat resided. The condition of a vessel was a adverse one – no mast, no engine, no fittings, no bulkheads, no induce cover, only a fiberglass bombard – though John offering to let him work on a vessel during a rickety wharf where it was located for a while.
After promulgation cinema to a others and removing a thumbs up, he pulled a trigger and bought it. He would spend 3 days operative sunup to dusk on his possess before a others assimilated him, after that they lived as vagabonds in a multi-million dollar Ft. Lauderdale home while operative to get a vessel sea-ready.
They would fast learn that most of sailing is done adult of operative on a vessel itself, where they found something was always violation – there are few environments that are worse for timber and steel than being during sea. The residue of a film is comprised of their travels by a Caribbean and afterwards adult a Eastern seaboard, with a crowd of pseudo sailing tips for a layman peppered in, and behind down to Haiti where Moxie takes his leave from sailing and goes his possess way.

In this documentary, ABC Australia looks into a ever-growing problem of cyber attacks in both a municipal and supervision sectors. We initial pronounce with Donald McGurk, a CEO of Codan Ltd in Australia, about an conflict his association postulated where information used to retreat operative a renouned steel showing product of theirs was stolen, and afterwards implemented in a production and sale of inferior, yet extremely cheaper, versions of it.
Suspicions were lifted when dealers and retailers began angry of electronics and section opening being next par, yet when a ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Organisation) showed adult on their doorstep to surprise them with certainty that they had been hacked, McGurk fast satisfied association confidence measures would need to be revamped drastically to understanding with a hazard they were facing. The association designs and manufactures a series of products that are sole into supervision and troops use, and that creates a association a distinguished aim for hackers.
The ASIO review of a matter suggested that while visiting China on a business trip, a Codan executive logged into a wireless internet tie during his hotel and non-stop a floodgates to his company's intelligence. Chinese hackers seized a event by installing malware onto a executive's laptop, that was all a foothold required to afterwards work a approach into a Codan offices mechanism complement behind in Australia.
Turning their courtesy to breaches of Australia's supervision group mechanism systems, a filmmakers fast arrived during a passed finish when vocalization to stream and former supervision officials on a record, citing that it only was "not in a culture" to pronounce about specific breaches of security – yet they did not bashful divided from admissions of a karma of it happening.
Doing a small investigate of their own, a filmmakers were means to expostulate adult an talk with an adviser peaceful to pronounce on conditions of anonymity about a matter. The adviser cites breaches during a series of critical installations, a many important being a Defense Department – a group that houses a secure email network joining a whole Australian military.
The risk of cyber attacks, and a supportive information targeted by them, grows exponentially on a daily basis. The film is a demeanour during what we are doing to corral these risks but overstepping a end of particular privacy.

When we consider of normal Judaism, what comes to mind? Jesse Zook Mann, a filmmaker behind Punk Jews, is peaceful to gamble that not a one of a people profiled in his film are anything like a preconceptions we expected have about supporters of a Jewish faith. Yiddish travel musicians, African American activists, Hasidic punk stone bands – these are not your father's Rabbi's Jews, though there are alive and good in complicated Jewish communities.
Yishai, a lead thespian of a Sid Vicious-esque punk stone rope called Moshiach Oi from Long Island, New York, is as heated as his music. Playing during an choice Jewish venue on Manhattan's Upper West Side, Yishai beckons his assembly to punch him in a face out of honour for their song – not a ask that had expected ever been done during a venue. The Rabbi's feedback on a performance? That a song is too loud, and indispensable to be incited down.
Next adult is Kal Holczler, who founded an romantic classification called Voices of Dignity after ongoing passionate abuse during a hands of a distinguished member of a Jewish village he grew adult in sent him down a trail of drug abuse via his infirm years. His classification connects victims of Jewish eremite leaders' passionate abuse with several support systems to assistance them come to terms with and work by their hapless experiences.

The Sukkos Mob, a opening group, Amazing Amy Yoga Yenta, and Jewish hip bound artist Y-Love turn out subjects of a documentary that aims to uncover a contemporary Jew expressing themselves in ways that traditionally have been taboo.

Alpha Centauri is a three-star solar complement 4.37 light years from Earth, a nearest neighbors of a Sun. A world has recently been rescued in a system, that raises a questions of when and how we will make a initial efforts to strech this planet, or some other (relatively) circuitously planet, to expand a horizons of a tellurian race. Interstellar Flight takes us by stream theories of usually how we are hypothesizing doing so.
To date, 3841 planets in a nearby regions of a universe have been identified as intensity allotment options, about 1100 of that are confirmed. Most are Jupiter and Neptune-sized planets that circuit tighten to their analogous stars. Estimates on a series of Earth-sized planets that could presumably support life in a universe tumble around 9 billion.
The film afterwards turns to a tangible stretch between us and Alpha Centauri, that is daunting. Historically, a rocketry and space transport record has centered on chemical propellants, a interruption that will have to be expel aside and transposed if we are to have any wish of roving a measureless distances to other star systems.
An instance of this extravagantly emasculate thrust process is given in a form of a volume of fuel compulsory by NASA's space shuttles to strech a 25,000 kilometers per hour required to shun Earth's gravitational lift – that measures out to fifteen times a weight of a convey otherwise. Needless to say, no qualification could presumably lift adequate fuel to strech another star if it was propelled by fuel so inefficient.
A series of proposed booster designs with choice thrust methods that have came and went given a 1970′s are cycled by before alighting on what is now a many preferred fuel form – antimatter. The engines hypothesized here would presumably need usually 1/10000 of a gram of antimatter to take a booster with all a required load to Alpha Centauri.
The hurdles with this form of thrust distortion in a nonesuch of, and problem in obtaining, it. Other than in impossibly snippet amounts, it is not famous to be found anywhere outward of black holes – that sets a theatre for a probability that if we ever wish to get where we unequivocally would like to go, we'll need to go to one of a many feared places in all of production first.

10 Days in North Korea takes a assembly on a outing around Pyongyang, a focal indicate of energy for a North Korean regime, to pronounce with adults of what a filmmakers cruise a really engaging "social experiment" that has been going on for about seventy years.
The film kicks off by demonstrating a devotion of a Pyongyang workforce – interviews with an achieved biologist and a few bureau workers communicate a genuine high opinion of "Grand Marshal" Kim Jong-un and unrestrained towards contributing to a regime's common productivity. The vernacular used to report a government's control over their daily lives is they are being "protected."
Attention afterwards turns to Jong-un and a regime's militaristic proceed to rule, touching on a despotic jail complement and final year's widely-publicized execution of Jong-un's uncle, Jang Song-thaek, and his whole family for fraud and an purported try to theatre a troops manoeuvre that would have dethroned Jong-un.
In what is tough to understand by an outward as anything some-more than pro-regime propaganda, a series of ancestral sites and annual troops cache demonstrations are in place to assure a North Korean adults of a government's ostensible troops prowess. An annual "victory parade" is conducted any year to applaud The Democratic People's Republic of Korea troops feat over a United States and a reunification of North and South Korea.
Still tied together in name, a North and South Koreas have grown detached in many ways underneath their ostensible one state, with even a languages oral commencement to deposit apart. The filmmakers showcase countless families with members vital on conflicting sides of a limit that are selected by lottery and postulated 3 brief days to accommodate family members they have never been available to see.
In a ostensible demilitarized section on a North Korean side of a border, we pronounce with Kim Chang Yun, a colonel in a Korean People's Army, about a five-meter high wall on a Korean side of a limit that was finished in 1979. He claims a wall is a pitch of efforts by a United States and a South to forestall joint of a dual sides. His viewpoints counterpart that of a easeful citizens, one that accepts a false separate utopia crippled by a determining supervision frankly deceiving and exploiting a people that have been brainwashed from birth to not doubt that authority.

Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft: Looking for Group is a ten-year anniversary jubilee of a company's monumentally successful launch of a World of Warcraft online gaming platform. Stemming from a line of real-time plan games in a 90′s, WoW is a world's premiere online gaming locus and was home to over twelve million players during a arise in 2010.
In a mini-history lesson, a filmmakers take us by a grounds for WoW's arise to inflection by interviews with pivotal Blizzard and media crew that are authorities on a matter. Ultima Online, and after Everquest, blazed a route that Blizzard developers swooped in on, doing what they always have finished – holding a product that was usually being consumed by a really niche assembly and branch it into something that was extravagantly appealing to a masses.
So that's what they did. Starting off as a unsuccessful plan a interviewees deemed "crap," a designers motionless to drive it towards something that they desired personification – something like Everquest. Sales projections were optimistically set to strike one million copies inside twelve months, and use support on a behind finish was scheduled accordingly. They blew past those projections inside 3 months, and immediately they were operative during breakneck speeds to keep adult with demand.
The association as a whole ballooned from around 500 employees to 5000, only attributed to a success of WoW. The recognition of a diversion pushed it into a open eye to such a grade that cocktail enlightenment began referencing it as a domicile name – Jeopardy and South Park usages are shown as examples of this recognition in a film. Inter-game vernacular became so renouned that it crawled out of a digital space and into real-world usage; phrases like "Leeroy Jenkins" (to rush uncontrolled into hazardous situations with no courtesy for your possess safety) became memes and a like.
The film's concentration afterwards shifts to a people behind a characters that make adult a WoW universe, cascading by interviews with players explaining because it is they chose a form of impression that they play with, what it says about them and how a diversion is a theatre for them to indulge in a thrill-seeking fantasies their tangible lives do not offer – and that is what creates WoW and all good video games successful, a illusory shun from all that is not fantastic.

Up until really recently, space transport and scrutiny has been an activity that usually government-funded mega-ventures have been able of holding partial in – organizations like NASA. Advancements in aeronautics and space engineering have non-stop a doorway for private companies to enter this arena, and VICE spinoff Motherboard's film When Will Humans Live on Mars? profiles some of a streamer companies operative to make space some-more accessible.
As has mostly been a box via history, a expostulate to make a sire is a primary vigilant of what a filmmakers silver "Space 2.0." The initial association they demeanour to is a Netherlands-based non-profit classification called Mars One, whose design is to be a initial private association to inhabit mars. Founded in 2011, they have already begun holding applications (over 200,000 people applied) for a settler positions that contingency be gentle with a thought they will be streamer to Mars for a rest of their lives – Mars One has no goal of shuttling anyone behind to Earth. As with many startup companies, a biggest jump for a business was financing what is a extravagantly expensive business design – space travel.
CEO and co-founder Bas Lansdorp was uncertain of how to proceed this problem during first, though after finding that a Olympic games generated some-more than $1 billion a day in revenue, it dawned on him that a world's eyeballs being zodiacally destined towards a grand philharmonic is able of generating extensive revenue. So, Mars One will also be a existence radio uncover that follows those space pioneers selected in their credentials for, tour to, and onslaught to inhabit a red planet.
The film afterwards turns to space tourism and Spaceport America, a private space moody trickery located in a remote dried segment of Jornada Del Muerto, New Mexico. Private space moody leaders Virgin Galactic and Space X are existent tenants, among a series of other private companies, of a trickery staid to be one of many destinations worldwide that will act as gateways for private space travel most like airports do for craft travel.
NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California is subsequent up, where many of a private companies seeking to feat a industrial resources of space are hatching skeleton on how to go about doing so. Moon Express is one example, where they wish to be a initial association to cave a aspect of a moon.

"Central banks have a energy to emanate economic, domestic and amicable change. This is how they do it." This thoroughfare opens a film, and that is precisely what non-partisan domestic and socio-economic documentarian organisation QueuePolitely puts underneath a microscope in a Princes of Yen. Based on a book by Professor Richard Werner and destined by Michael Oswald, a film aims to mangle down and facilitate a ways in that executive banks change a universe we live in.
The film opens on archival footage from a 1941 Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, and works to set a theatre for what would turn an American-led function of post-war Japan where Democracy was imposed on a republic "as if they'd never listened of it." The blurb banking complement of a nation was logically in shambles, with many of a resources being comprised of fight holds and loans to industries that had been wrecked by a fight – digest it fundamentally bankrupt.
This accountability was alleviated by a Japanese executive bank swooping in and shopping these meaningless resources with newly-created reserves. The initial dual post-war Japanese executive bank governors were allocated by a American function hierarchy, and countless other high-ranking supervision officials that would assume energy in a war's issue were really many in line with a American agenda.
Through an mercantile principal called "window guidance," a Bank of Japan, after being awarded finish liberty with a mercantile policies, would say despotic control over who and what blurb banks were authorised to lend income to. As time went on and a Japanese economy continued a grow during rare rates, these controls catered to a trend since it was of march easiest and many ideal to means a financial bubble.
By a 1980′s, Japanese bankers had turn scandalous for pulling loans onto high-risk possibilities during discount seductiveness rates, a use speedy by government since a banks themselves indispensable to strike a lending quotas imposed on them by a Bank of Japan. These unsure financial decisions eventually led to a monumental mercantile crash in a early 90′s, that is a unavoidable outcome of forward and miserly practices like these.

Storm Clouds Gathering, famous for a unusual research of news, politics, and geopolitical issues by documentary video content, takes a demeanour during how a American media description of because Russia and Syria are being indicted of tellurian charge competence differ from what is unequivocally behind it all in The Geopolitics of World War III.
The filmmaker sets a theatre for a theme matter by suggesting that a U.S. dollar is a singular currency for many reasons, yet a reasons that matter many are not indispensably widely known. One fact mostly suspicion to be poignant is a standing as a universe haven banking given 1945, though a dollar's significance is many some-more contingent on a fact it of it carrying been a primary banking by that oil has been traded in a tellurian marketplace given 1970. Oil creates a universe go spin in a benefaction domestic landscape, for improved or worse, so this in spin creates a U.S. dollar a really critical spoke in a tellurian financial machine.
Prior to 1971, a U.S. dollar was firm to a bullion customary – or during slightest that is what a universe operated underneath a faith of. The filmmakers prominence that a International Monetary Fund reports that in 1966, unfamiliar executive banks and governments hold 14 billion U.S. dollars. While a United States did have $13.2 billion in bullion reserves, many of that was indispensable to cover domestic land and usually $3.2 billion of it was accessible for unfamiliar holdings. What that means is a U.S. was copy some-more income than it could cover, and acceleration naturally ensued. To relieve a fire, a Richard Nixon presidential administration took a dollar off a bullion customary and done it a debt-based currency.
Through several domestic arrangements, a filmmakers advise that a U.S. afterwards tied a dollar to oil trade to keep a direct up, a complement that remained in place during America's preference until a year 2000 – right before 9/11, mind we – when Iraqi personality Saddam Hussein announced he was changeable their oil trade from a dollar to a euro. This is pronounced to be a matter behind all a post-9/11 troops action, not anti-terrorism efforts, and that these dollar-undermining decisions by unfamiliar governments continue to figure the U.S. troops agenda currently in regards to process opposite Russia and Syria.

Prior to 1960, cameras able of capturing a relocating picture were unwieldy and clunky, abandoned of a ability to constraint anything some-more than staged play in a studio. As a 1950′s wound down, filmmakers in a U.S. and France had a blazing enterprise to constraint genuine life in a impulse and as it happened, and that enterprise sparked an creation that revolutionized a assembly experience. The Camera That Changed a World is a story behind that innovation.
Cameras were large and ethereal instruments that omnipotently sat atop tripods during a time, and sounds constraint apparatus was even some-more rigid. Enter Moi, un noir in 1958, a French documentary from Jean Rouch, that was shot in Abidjan, Ivory Coast on a tiny handheld camera deliberate to be "amateur." The earthy leisure a camera authorised Rouch to interpose into a cinematography combined a kind of life to a film that had never been seen before, and it sparked a enterprise in a minds of artists everywhere to obey a results. It was a seed planted, one that would grow into all documentary film prolongation has turn in a half century after it.
As mind-blowing as a film was, Rouch had a series of gripes about a wind-up handheld camera that done it possible. For one, we had to breeze it up. Action was missed while we were doing this. Once wound, it could usually record for about twenty seconds. It also done a good understanding of sound while recording, so synced sound recording (at slightest a kind where we couldn't hear a camera) was not possible. Another camera was indispensable to damp filmmakers, as insubordinate an knowledge as Moi might have been.
Robert Drew worked as a author and editor for Life Magazine during a time, and he assured a income people during a association to give him a million dollars to emanate a camera that would accommodate all these desires. The camera they combined was a four-pound antecedent that authorised for rare mobility in filmmaking. The initial film shot on it was Primary, that followed then-senator John F. Kennedy in his presidential primary debate efforts. In 4 brief days of filming, they altered filmmaking forever.

No new Anthony Spencer deal yet
IRVING, Texas -- Monday's deadline to sign franchise players to multiyear extensions will come and go without the Dallas Cowboys inking their franchise designee, outside linebacker Anthony Spencer, to a new deal.
The Cowboys had only brief talks with Spencer in the offseason about a long-term deal and have prepared for their 2007 first-round pick to count $8.8 million against the 2012 salary cap all along.
More on the Cowboys
Tim MacMahon, Todd Archer and Jean-Jacques Taylor have the Dallas Cowboys blanketed.
Blog » ESPN Dallas »
Top 50 Cowboys
"We will start the season with his current contract," said Spencer's agent, Jordan Woy. "We will see what happens during the season. I'm sure we will have a discussion before the season ends."
But the Cowboys will not be able to sign Spencer to a deal until after the season ends, according to the collective bargaining agreement.
If Spencer has a breakout season, the Cowboys can place the franchise tag on him again in 2013, which would cost roughly $10.6 million.
Without the use of the franchise tag, however, they could run the risk of losing him to free agency. Spencer's backup, Victor Butler, is also scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in 2013, but the team drafted Kyle Wilber in the fourth round last April as a possible future starter.
The Cowboys are banking on Spencer having a big season in part because of his desire for a mega-contract and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan putting him in more pass-rushing situations.
Spencer never has had more than six sacks in a season, but those from owner and general manager Jerry Jones to coach Jason Garrett have said the numbers do not truly reflect Spencer's value to the defense.
To go along with his six sacks in 2011, he was credited with 74 tackles. His four forced fumbles led the Cowboys and his eight tackles for loss were tied for the team lead. He also was second to DeMarcus Ware with 31 quarterback pressures and had three pass deflections.
After missing the first week of the offseason conditioning program in April, Spencer hired Woy as his agent and did not miss a day of work, although he missed the final two minicamp practices in June with what was called a minor knee injury.

Summary: The Chinese state industry and commerce administration is also looking at senior executives over claims it had not fully disclosed information about Windows and Office.
Chinese regulators are investigating Microsoft for anti-monopoly claims over its Windows operating system.
China's State Administration for Industry & Commerce (SAIC) announced on its website that an unnamed senior vice-president and other senior executives at the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant are also under investigation.
The regulators had made copies of the company's financial statements, contracts, and other documents from company servers, but warned it could not complete its investigation, as Microsoft's key staff are not based in China, it said.
Complaints from other unnamed companies prompted the raids, the regulator added.
Microsoft is accused of violating China's anti-monopoly and antitrust law since June, for issues over compatibility, bundling of software, and document authentication.
It comes just weeks after The South China Morning Post noted that the Chinese government had been worried about Windows 8.
But much of the details remain under wraps.
It comes as tensions between US technology firms and China are under close scrutiny in the wake of the Edward Snowden leaks, which riled China considerably. The US and China have suffered impacted relations over the years over claims of state hacking and rampant software piracy.
Microsoft is not new to antitrust complaints, either in the US or in the European Union.
That said, China has been known to go after technology companies, such as Google in 2011, which prompted the search giant to leave the country.

WITNESSES: INVENTOI? W) Ema? .fljale rad v ATTORNEYS Unrrnn dramas Parana @rrtcn.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 699,461, dated May 6, 1902.
Application filed March 29, 1901. Serial, No. 53,478- (No model.)
To (LZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EMIL DYSTERUD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Monterey, in the State of Nuevo Leon, Republic of Mexico, have invented a new and Improved Clutch, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to a clutch designed especially for use in connection with alternating-current electric motors, but which is also useful in other connections, as will be apparent. In applying the invention to an electric motor it comprises a clutch member carried by a rotary part of the motor and controlled by centrifugal force, this clutch member working with a second member fast on the shaft which is to be driven. \Vhen the rotor is revolving at low speed, the shaft is not driven therefrom; but when the rotor reaches a high speed the centrifugal force attending such revolution causes the clutch members to be engaged and the shaft is driven. An example of the use of my invention in connection with an electric motor may be seen in the patent to Elihu Thomson, No. 664,190, December 18, 1900.
This specification is a specific description 0 one form of the invention, while the claim is a definition of the actual scope thereof.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, formingapart of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both views.
Figurel is a side elevation of the invention, and Fig. 2 is a section on theline 2 2 of Fig. 1.
a indicates the rotary portion of the electric motor or any other revolubly-driven ele-- ment. This is mounted by spokes a and a box a loosely on the shaft 1), which is to be driven from the element a.
0 indicates a disk which is fastened to the shaft 1) and preferably formed with a peripheral groove, with the walls of which are engaged clutch members (1. These clutch members are connected to the element a through the medium of link-joints d and levers (1 the later being fulcrumed to the rotor a. The links d are connected with the short arm of the levers C1 and the longer arms of the levers extend inward toward the hub c and are formed with weighted portions 61 which normally lie close against the hub a and are held yieldingly in such position by springs d".
The parts a, a, and a being loose on the shaft, when rotating movement is imparted to the part a the levers d and clutch members dare carried around with it. As the rotatin g member a gathers velocity the weighted ends 07 of the levers d are thrown out-- ward and the clutch members cl are forced into engagement with the clutch-disk 0, thus fastening the rotor or member a on the shaft and causing the shaft to be driven.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of a rotary shaft, a driving member arranged thereon and comprising an outer part or rim, ahub fitted loosely on the shaft and spokes connecting the outer part and hub together, a lever fulcrumed on the outer part of the driving member and car- EMIL DYSTERUD.

I'm a lazy jerk. I won't deny it. It takes a lot to wake me up in the morning. This app forces me to get up to scan bar codes. It's like having a powerful wife who owns a chain of early morning supermarkets.
Reviewed in Reddit Saturday APPreciation thread, Jan 25th 2014
Pockets6794: Alarm clock that gets you to scan a barcode before it turns off.
We know how tempting "just a few more minutes" can be. That's why we made an app that makes it hard to be a snoozer. The sweet material design and playful transitions engage and delight, and with the various options to create wakeup sequences you can make a morning routine to get you up and get your day started right.
You can set an alarm to require a barcode scan to turn off, or just the classic press of a button, then add a step for the alarm to open an app or website to ease you into the day with music or news.
If you're feeling more advanced, you can make a sequence, where each step can have its own turn-off requirement which puts the alarm in snooze for as long as you've defined before the next step.
Each step can start an app or webpage if you wish, or for those who go the extra mile with their tech, we have Tasker support, which really opens up what's possible.
Would you like a sequence to turn on the bedroom lights after the first step? Then ten minutes later, when you turn of the next step by scanning that shampoo bottle in your bathroom it starts your coffee brewing*
There are other smart features, like wifi-locking a sequence so you can stay the night away from home even if you didn't bring the barcode you usually scan, and muting the alarm while you're in motion so you don't wake the house on your way to that coffee.
So give it a go and leave those snoozing days behind!
*shampoo bottle and wifi-connected wall socket not included but available from third party companies.

:: Home > Around the World > Crocodile Stuns Officials In Greece
© europics.at

Police have confirmed the sighting of a two metre long crocodile spotted lounging near an artificial dam on the tourist island of Crete - but admit they have no idea how it got there.
Police and firemen went to the site after reports that the animal had been spotted bathing in the sun at the Potami Dam near the Greek city of Rethymno and were stunned to discover that it was completely true – and took this video of the beast to prove it.
Officials said had they not seen the video they too would not have believed it was true but it clearly shows a crocodile, and records its movements proving that it was alive.
The Director of the Department of Transportation and Hydraulic Engineering Projects Management at the Crete Development Organisation, Vangelis Mamangakis, said: "At first we thought it was a joke, but once we realised that the witnesses were backed up with camera evidence we started investigating the incident, and working out how to catch it."
He added that another concern was that there were indications that was not just one crocodile, but two. He said that two reptile experts have been called in to help set up a trap to capture the crocodile and the lake has also been sealed off to prevent locals unwittingly falling prey to the crocodile. One of the experts is reptologist Petros Lymberakis, a specialist for the Museum of Natural History who will come to the area to assist in locating and dealing with the reptile.
The bid to capture the crocodile was given a special urgency after local media reported that the two crocodiles could even breed, leading to fears that there might be other crocodiles.
Crocodiles are not native to Europe although there have occasionally been similar incidents. Firemen and river police in Austria for example were called to rescue a South American crocodile from the Danube in 2001. The animal was caught and later handed over to Vienna Zoo.
Mamagakis believes that the crocodile may have been kept as a pet at a home or by a visiting zoo and was subsequently abandoned.
