Μην λες τέτοια Katarameno γιατί θα σε τρέχει στα δικαστήρια ο γνωστός μεγαλοδικηγόρος Αυτός με το τακούνι στο μέτωπο? Δεν υπάρχει ούτε ένας Εισαγγελέας να τολμάει να εφαρμόσει για όλους δίκαια τους νόμους και δεν υπάρχει ούτε ένας Αστυνομικός που να μπορεί να προστατέψει τον Εισαγγελέα που θα θελήσει να τα βάλει μόνος του με όλη τη σαπίλα της μαφίας. Άρα όταν δεν υπάρχει ένας τίμιος Αστυνομικός με @@ και ένας τίμιος Δικαστικός με @@ για να ξεκινήσουν οι δυό τους να ψάχνουν κι άλλους τίμιους και αφιάφθορους ώστε να κάνουν ένα ντου στις εταιρίες του πρεζέμπορα και να απαλλάξουν την χώρα από την μαφία Μαρινάκη, η χώρα είναι τελειωμένη. Η χώρα θα καταντήσει χειρότερα και από αφρικανική μπανανία και χειρότερα από την Χιλή του Πινοσέτ και την Ρωσία του Μπόρις Γιέλτσιν και την Ουκρανία του Ζελένσκι. Οι μαφιόζοι και οι φασίστες θα αλωνίζουν. Ήδη τα βλέπουμε στα χτυπήματα των μαφιόζων και στις ανακοινώσεις που βγάζει η ΕΛ.ΑΣ. μετά που μαρτυρούν την διαπλοκή την συνενοχή και το πόσο κότες είναι που βγάζουν μια ανακοίνωση του τύπου "Πρόκειται για ξεκαθάρισμα λογαριασμών της μαφίας" σα να μας λένε "Μη δίνετε σημασία δεν ήταν τίποτα. - Δεν μπλέκουμε" (τα χωράφια μας γιατί είμαστε ξεφτίλες και κολώστρες) Και μόλις είδα ότι τους δίνει και επίδομα πρώτης αναχαίτισης (!!!) ο Μιχαλάκης ο "έπιασα την 17Ν επειδή κατά τύχη έσκασε η βόμβα τους στα χέρια τους, δοξάστε με" και καθόλου ρατσιστής μισογύνης κτλ. Δλδ παραδέχεται εμμέσως ότι δεν τολμάνε ούτε έναν μόνο του παρανοϊκό να αντιμετωπίσουν που δολοφόνησε μαχαιρώνοντας την καημένη την πρώην του έξω ακριβώς από το Αστυνομικό Τμήμα και σκέφτηκε ο πανέξυπνος να τους δώσει και επίδομα μπας και πάρουν θάρρος να σώζουν την επόμενη φορά έστω έξω από το Αστυνομικό Τμήμα την κοπέλα που ζητούσε βοήθεια και είχε υποβάλλει και μήνυση για βιασμό / βιαιοπραγία του πρώην της. Δεν βρέθηκε περιπολικό λένε ... Είμαστε υποστελεχωμένοι λένε (ενώ έχουμε τους περισσότερους αστυνομικούς ανά πολίτη στην Ευρώπη!!!) και δεν λένε ότι είμαστε όντως άχρηστοι και ανίκανοι ####, αφού οι μισοί είμαστε πρώην χρυσαυγιτάκια που μας μάζεψε ο Σαμαράς και μας έδωσε όπλο και κράνος και εθνόσημο και μας έβαλε χωρίς εκπαίδευση να δέρνουμε διαδηλωτές κατά την Μνημονίων στην Πλατεία Συντάγματος. Κι όμως υπάρχει ένας που το έχει παραδεχτεί φανταστείτε. Τον άκουγα να φωνάζει το ένα καλοκαίρι σαν ούγκανο που είναι "Αίμα Τιμή Χρυσή Αυγή" και να κοιτάνε περίεργα οι τουρίστες από όλο τον πλανήτη που έκαναν ήρεμοι ηλιοθεραπεία και την επόμενη χρονιά ήρθε με σαγιονάρες και αστυνομική ταυτότητα να μου πουλήσει μαγκιά επειδή στρίβω μεγάλα τσιγάρα λέγοντας μου "Ξέρεις ότι μπορώ να σε τρέχω για αυτά τα τσιγάρα, ε?" όπου και τον διέκοψα επί τόπου με το "Ξέρεις ότι θα μου κλάσεις μια μάντρα αρχίδια που έχεις και το θράσος να με απειλείς τελειωμένο φασιστάκι, ε? Τράβα γαμήσου τώρα και πάνε αλλού να κάνεις τον μάγκα, εγώ σε ξέρω χρόνια." μπροστά σε κόσμο, τόσο δυνατά ώστε να ακούσουν όλοι οι πελάτες στο beach bar με αποτέλεσμα να γελάνε μαζί του όλες οι παρέες νέων που έπιναν καφέ εκείνη την ώρα. Φυσικα ως ανεκπαίδευτο μπάζο που είναι νόμιζε ότι θα με εκβίαζε επειδή στρίβω με μεγάλα χαρτάκια. Τόσο μπετόβλακας. Βέβαια πρόσφατα υπάρχει και εδώ μέσα κάποιο μέλος που μου πέταξε σπόντα αλλά κρατιέμαι να μη τη βρίσω χειρότερα επειδή είναι και κοπέλα.

Τι έγινε τελικά με το Noor 1? Απέμεινε κανένας μάρτυρας κατηγορίας ζωντανός για την δίκη του Βαγγέλη Μαρινάκη ή τους τσιμέντωσαν όλους στην Κολομβία των Βαλκανίων? Όταν δεν υπάρχει ούτε ένας Εισαγγελέας στην Ελληνική Δικαιοσύνη να τολμήσει να τα βάλει με την μαφία τότε όλο κράτος έχει υποδουλωθεί σε έναν πρεζέμπορα. Ειδικά όταν αυτός έχει γίνει ο νταβατζής κανονικά της ΝΔ που δεν είχε ούτε για να τυπώσει ψηφοδέλτια και με τα μαύρα του εκατομμύρια την αγόρασε κανονικά και έχει τον ηλίθιο (Κυριάκο) και τον πανηλίθιο (Άδωνι, Βορίδη κτλ) για αχυράνθρωπους που παριστάνουν τον Πρωθυπουργό της χώρας και τους Υπουργούς της μπανανίας.

Small Robot That Can Reforest The Whole Planet https://www.facebook.com/share/v/sQjnnTnCWsUMnkAo/ή 53,839 views 22 Sept 2023 Amidst mounting ecological challenges, a remarkable innovation known as the "Erodium Copy" robot has emerged as a beacon of hope for our planet's beleaguered ecosystems. Developed by the ingenious minds at Morphing Matter Lab, this invention has the potential to reforest the Earth, safeguard endangered species, and replenish our vital natural resources. Drawing inspiration from nature's own mechanisms, it operates with astonishing simplicity: placed on the ground and coupled with a seed, it buries itself deep underground, offering a nature-inspired solution to one of humanity's most pressing challenges.
What sets this robot apart is its keen emulation of natural processes. It maintains orientation with three anchor points and utilizes a calibrated number of coils to thrust seeds into the soil, providing protection from natural threats like fires and rain. Remarkably, the primary material used in its construction is Oakwood, renowned for its strength and eco-friendliness. By avoiding additional synthetic materials, it minimizes environmental harm, making it a truly sustainable solution for reforestation.
Extensive testing, including drone-aided seed airdrops with a remarkable 90% success rate, underscores its effectiveness. Furthermore, it can host symbiotic species like fungi and nematodes, enhancing plant survival rates in diverse environments. Inspired by the Erodium plant's seed propulsion mechanism, this innovation represents a critical step towards global reforestation, breathing new life into our fragile ecosystems and rekindling hope for a greener, more sustainable future.

Εγώ θα πρόσθετα τo... The Andromeda Strain (1971) "A near perfect film." (και το Remake του του 2008 που κυκλοφορεί σε 2 μέρη) A U.S. Army satellite (Scoop VII) falls to earth near Piedmont, New Mexico. The recovery team experiences difficulties as it becomes clear that the satellite has performed its intended function all too well, and has brought back something from space. A team of scientists is assembled in a high-tech, underground facility to identify and defeat the "enemy" before it is too late.
A remake was recently aired as a two-part mini-series. I watched it and thorougly enjoyed it. It was refreshing to see a remake which was almost as good as the original. Worth watching either before or after watching this original version. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424600/)

Director: Robert Wise Runtime: 131 mins
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066769/
...
Robert Wise is an under rated director but in his body of work are such gems as 'The Body Snatcher', 'The Set-Up', 'The Day the Earth Stood Still', 'Odds Against Tomorrow', 'The Haunting', 'West Side Story', 'I Want to Live!' and on its own terms, 'The Sound of Music'. He managed to make genre films more interesting and watchable than other more celebrated directors.
'The Andromeda Strain' is an engrossing film from beginning to end. It is science fiction, alien virus comes to earth type thing, but has more depth than just that. The scientists, played very well by Arthur Hill, David Wayne, Kate Reid and James Olson, are fallible and have real emotions. Yet in them is a longing to know, to discover, to solve. Most popular cinema celebrate the fist or the gun but part of the excitement of this film is the use of the intellect to tackle the problem. Brains and not brawn is key.
The early scenes in the town of Piedmont are fascinating. Nothing dramatic, only small details adding up to a large tragedy. Restrained film making is not common but in this case it is really effective. After these scenes the film moves on as fear and wonder grip the scientists to a satisfying conclusion.
The electronic music is just right, the sets are atmospheric, the hard ware plausible and the photography simple and effective. A mention should be made of Paula Kelly as a nurse, an excellent actor and shamefully under used in films. (She is great in 'Sweet Charity' too.)In a supporting role she gives an intelligent, spirited performance.
A near perfect film.
...
Easily - EASILY - the best film Michael Crichton has had anything to do with. (That is, of the ones I've seen. For the record, the rest are: `Westworld', `The First Great Train Robbery', `Disclosure', `Jurassic Park', `Twister', and `Congo', although I've never made it to the end of `Congo'.) Does this say something about Crichton's career, or the state of film-making, or neither? Can't say.
Whatever - this is pretty darned good science fiction. Sure, it has the vices we've come to expect: scientists with a tendency to act like the crew of the Enterprise, and central protagonists who begin the film by swimming through treacle and end it by leaping tall buildings in a single bound. As for the former problem, well, it's not so bad here as it usually is. As for the latter, well, it's easy to forgive, because we're put through a very tense ride before our heroes crawl out of the treacle - even afterwards. They don't make films this tense these days. Or at least, this particular film would have been less tense if it had been made these days. I don't think a modern director would have resisted the temptation to goof off at some point.
THAT'S part of the charm. The film's idea of how scientists behave is rather a silly one, but at least the scientists aren't forced to act GOOFY in order to show that scientists are really human, after all - as if there was any need to show this. And I'll say this: whatever the scientists were like, the SCIENCE is much more intelligent than a modern public has any right to expect. So far as I could tell (not that I'm an expert in anything) it only stretches into fantasy when it needs to. Wise gives us information, and plenty of it - not techno-babble.
I've heard people snicker at the thirty-year-old look of the film, but I think they're nuts. The art direction is wonderful. In a way it does the same thing as the original Star Trek: it creates a coherent, claustrophobic world by force of sheer simplicity. But to see `The Andromeda Strain' is to see it done WELL.
...
And yet, you just can't help yourself. Under Robert Wise's direction, this tale of microbiological Armageddon unfolds with such perfectly metered suspense that by the 100th viewing, you STILL find yourself glued to your couch. You HAVE to see how it turns out, even though you already know.
Although the film is well over 20 years old, and the computer equipment at the Wildfire laboratory shows its age, this is a perfect change-of-pace film for any movie monster fan. Heck, you've probably already let your kids see the bloody carnage in "Jurassic Park" anyway.
Instead of the usual radioactive mutated towering apparition that flattens cities and topples skyscrapers, the monster in "The Andromeda Strain" is so tiny, it takes powerful electron microscopes to see it. The average movie monster can only cause damage wherever he can stomp, smash or exhale a blast of fiery breath. Andromeda has the potential to be carried to every corner of the world by the winds, where it could conceivably wipe out all life. Try to top THAT, Godzilla!
The real star of the film is Wildfire itself. A government facility located (we thought) safely away from populated areas, it bristles with everything a microbiologist needs to avert a biological disaster. . .or does it?
Seeking an unprecedented realism, director Robert Wise insisted that everything on the set be real, from the computer terminals (with their quaint light pens) all the way to the electron microscopes. The Wildfire set is every microbiologist's dream come true and it's populated by a quartet of actors!
Since the presence of a big-name star might blunt the impact of this high-tech visual feast, Wise carefully assembled a cast of fine actors who just don't happen to be household names. Without rehashing the characterizations, we'll just say that Arthur Hill, David Wayne, James Olson and Kate Reid couldn't possibly have been more perfect for their roles. With a less competent cast, "The Andromeda Strain" could have degenerated into a parody of itself. This is gritty work, saving the world from biological annihilation. It takes real ACTORS, not just pretty-boy movie stars!
Go ahead. Be scared out of your wits by something so tiny, you can't even see it. I dare you to try and get up before it's over.

* The germ from space cost $250,000 to create in special effects.
* The Wildfire scientific lab sets cost more than $300,000 to build, and were described at the time as "one of the most elaborately detailed interiors ever built."
* The Central Core set required the digging of a 70 ft deep by 30 ft wide hole in a soundstage.
* In the novel, the character of Leavitt is a man, but is a woman (played by Kate Reid) in the film.
* Michael Crichton wrote the rough draft for the novel from which this film is adapted while he was still a medical student. He was inspired after a conversation with one of his teachers about the concept of crystal-based life-forms.
* Leavitt in a protest against inserting something to clean out the GI tract makes the statement about "risked drowning in that foul bath". The book, but not the movie, had the Wildfire Team submerge completely in an antibiotic solution. The scene may have been cut, but Leavitt still makes reference to it in the movie.
* Dr Stone says, "The SDS has arrived, no doubt." when his wife says someone is at the door to see him. The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was a college protest group active in the late 1960s to whom Dr Stone alludes.
* The monkey was "killed" by being placed in a large set filled with carbon dioxide. When the monkey's cage, containing oxygen was opened, it was rendered unconscious by the CO2. An Assistant director was off camera and brought a breathing apparatus to the monkey who recovered immediately.
* At the plane crash site, the actor that was supposed to call out, "Major Mancheck," fell out of his trailer and broke his leg. He was replaced on the spot with actor Bob Olen, who did the lines but was never credited for it._________________________________________________ ___ The Andromeda Strain Roger Ebert April 09, 1971 Robert Wise's "The Andromeda Strain" works reasonably well as science fiction, but I don't want to approach it in a fiction mood today. The most interesting thing about the movie, I think, is its production design, which seems to have begun where the interiors of the space station in "2001: A Space Odyssey" left off. We inhabit a world of smoothly, endlessly curving womblike plastic, with here a knob and there a computer read-out screen, and the sensation the movie gives us is not unlike permanent residence in one of those new Otis elevators. One of the problems with science-fiction movies has always been the hardware. We're asked to believe that our heroes are somewhere beyond Alpha Centuri and picking up steam, but their control panel looks like a 1949 Studebaker that's dropped acid. The low in these matters was reached with Captain Video on the old DuMont network, whose ship actually rocked up and down as it sailed the sea of space, which presumably had waves just like the ocean. "2001" put all that behind, and made it necessary for science-fiction movies (ambitious ones, at least) to create a plausible environment. "The Andromeda Strain" does that absolutely brilliantly. The human characters almost seem an embarrassment to the Wildfire Project, a hermetically sealed laboratory on five levels below ground. Their relationship with the computers that run Wildfire is, if anything, more intimate than the friendship between HAL 9000 and his human colleagues in "2001." HAL was a computer intelligent enough to think, but he "related" with humans in a folksy sort of way that made him half-palatable. No such effort is made to humanize the computer in "Andromeda," and they go about their business with the efficiency of a Honeywell salesman. What's fascinating is the way the humans pick up the computer state of mind. They occasionally lapse into humanity (particularly in the case of Kate Reid, as a crusty lady biologist of a certain age). But when the going gets tough, they become abstract and machine-like even toward each other. Sometimes movies come along with buried levels, and I think this is one. On the level of fiction, "The Andromeda Strain" is a splendid entertainment that will get you worried about whether they'll be able to contain that strange blob of alien green crystal. But if you find yourself experiencing "Andromeda" on only the story level, pull back for a moment and watch those people and those machines. Allow yourself to be seduced for a moment by that plastic environment, which is air-conditioned and indirectly lighted and self-monitoring and automated and God knows what else, and ask yourself if this is really the direction human interior decorating is moving in, or if the Holiday Inn has been wrong. Roger Ebert Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. In 1975, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-andromeda-strain-1971 Influential book: The Andromeda Strain Updated: Feb 26, 2022 Today, we can all probably relate to the fear of a super-contagious, deadly disease spreading around the globe without control. This sentiment is what moves the plot of The Andromeda Strain, Michael Crichton’s debut novel. With the hype of the space race and the Cold War in the background, The Andromeda Strain became an instant best-seller, cementing techno-thriller as a popular genre. ... https://www.authorcarlara.com/post/pandemic-space-race-and-the-andromeda-strain
