BARCLAYS LIBOR-RIGGING SCANDAL BIGGEST FINANCIAL FRAUD IN HISTORY. OVER 300 TRILLIONS IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS. UK, THE WORLD'S NO 1 EXPORTER IN FINANCIAL FRAUDS AND PHONE-HACKING.

The news on Wednesday that cities and states are suing some of the world's largest banks over Libor manipulation shows how this scandal could blow up into one of history's biggest bank frauds.

That's because interest-rate manipulation might well have kept your town or state from hiring firefighters or teachers, from paving roads or paying for indigent care or after-school programs for your kids -- adding to the human suffering of the economic collapse these same banks caused in the first place.

If it's any consolation, the lawsuits and fines over this manipulation could potentially cost the banks -- which include not only Barclays but Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and many more -- billions of dollars.

6 FILMMAKING TIPS FROM MICHAEL HANEKE

http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/features/6-filmmaking-tips-from-michael-haneke.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+FilmSchoolRejects+%28Film+School+Rejects%29

Earlier in the year, Michele Haneke became the 7th director in history to win more than one Palme d’Or at Cannes. The record for most Palme d’Or wins is now a seven-way tie.

The writer/director’s work is often enigmatic or experimental, but he’s also crafted stories that plumb the dramatic depths of loving relationships and extensively explored the beauty of music. From The Seventh Continent to Love, he’s made us question our role as viewers, challenged concepts of freedom and security, and did it all by making entertaining films. Some of which involve pig slaughter.

So here’s a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from the man who turned Jean-Luc Godard’s most famous quote upside down.

Funny and Horrifying Can Be The Same Thing

“There are many scenes [in The Piano Teacher] that are both terrible and horrifying for the spectator and funny at the same time. There are really two types of laughter on the part of the spectator. There is the laughter of recognition – which means seeing things you’re familiar with and laughing at yourself. But there’s also hysterical laughter – a way of dealing with the things we see that upset us. This is also the case in our everyday lives: we turn to laughter as an escape valve.”

Mess With Your Audience Visually

“We’re used, from TV, to scenes giving immediate information, so that the viewer thinks ‘I’ve seen it. I understand it. Next,’ and you never really get to the point of having a particular sensitivity to the situation. . . If you want to move someone, then you have to play with their visual habits, with what they’re used to seeing.”

Breaking the fourth wall is nothing new, but the moment in Funny Games when Paul (Arno Frisch) looks over his shoulder and winks right into the camera is terribly unsettling, not just because of what’s happening to one of the characters, but because of how brazenly Haneke is acknowledging the audience’s presence. It’s something we’re not used to.

That’s one example of many, and there are a lot of different ways to shake convention, but the key is not to deliver the same rhythms we’re used to. Don’t be afraid to shake the audience up.

Draw Scenes From Your Slaughter-Filled, Sheltered Childhood

You Need an Audience, But Not at the Cost of Your Principles

“If a director says he doesn’t care how many people see his films at all, I simply don’t believe him. Otherwise why would he bother to make the film? The only explanation would be that it would be an act of masturbation. I think that every creator is looking for a receptor. He’s looking for an audience. There are two parts of the equation: a creator and, necessarily, the receiver of the work. It’s the same thing for a painter who wants his paintings to be seen. However, if you betray your principles in the hopes of reaching a wider audience, then that’s as fatal as betraying your belief. Even the most elitist director or author who claims that he doesn’t care if his works are seen or not, then I have to think that he’s either a liar or a hypocrite. ”

Creation is the first step in a two-step process. Getting eyes and ears on your work is the fulfillment of why it was created – and it’s easy to see why a provocateur like Haneke believes this – but there’s a balance. It feels incredible to see a huge audience experience what you’ve made, but if you’ve gained a larger audience by sacrificing your ideals, you’re not really showing them your work after all. Definitely an interesting concept.

In the same interview, Haneke claims that books and movies are boring if they don’t leave the viewer or reader with questions to wrestle with. Unsurprisingly, a lot of his answers in interviews seem to achieve just that.

Every Film Rapes the Viewer

“I believe that the purpose of drama is not to let you go home feeling reassured. That was never its purpose, even as far back as the Greek tragedies. Every film is manipulative, raping the viewer. So the question is: Why do I rape the viewer? I try to rape him into being reflective, and into being intellectually independent and seeing his role in the game of manipulation. I believe in his intelligence. At its best, film should be like a ski jump. It should give the viewer the option of taking flight, while the act of jumping is left up to him.”

Michael Haneke will grab you by the ears, and you will know something.

By now, his attitude toward the audience is obvious, but it raises a great question about how safely you’re playing it as a storyteller. When this interviewer asks about Haneke’s pride in seeing people walk out of his movies, he talks briefly about the dichotomy of viewers. The oversimplified breakdown is between those who want to be slapped and have their perceptions challenged, and those that see movies strictly to have their views and ideas reinforced. Are you afraid of people leaving the theater, or do you relish the idea of thinning the herd to those who accept the challenge you might give them?

SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON BINGO

WHY SERBOCROATIAN GENIUS NICOLA TESLA, WHO INVENTED ALMOST EVERYTHING, WAS THE GREATEST GEEK EVER LIVED

             JULY 10TH WAS INTERNATIONAL TESLA DAY
PLEAS FOLLOW  THE LINK TO READ THE COMIC
http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla

Additional notes from the author:

• If you want to learn more about Tesla, I highly recommend reading Tesla: Man Out of Time
• Also, this Badass of the week by Ben Thompson is what originally inspired me to write a comic about Tesla. Ben's also got a book out which is packed full of awesome.
• There's an old movie from the 80s on Netflix Instant Queue right now about Tesla: The Secret of Nikola Tesla. It's corny and full of bad acting, but it paints a fairly accurate depiction of his life.
• The drunk history of Tesla is quite awesome, too.
• History.com has a great article about Edison and how his douchebaggery had a chokehold on American cinema.
• X-rays: just to clarify, Tesla did not discover x-rays, but he was one of the early pioneers in its research.
• Cryogenic engineering: I'm referring to the cryogenic engineering that has to do with using liquified air to cool a coil and reduce its electrical resistance (Patent No. 11,865), not freezing people and waking them up in the future so they can fight Wesley Snipes.
• Transistor: Tesla's influence on the modern transistor can be found in patents 723,188 and 725,605. (a better explanation here)
• Radio: Tesla was the nicest geek ever until he decided to sue Marconi a few years later. 8 months after Tesla died, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Marconi's patents on the invention of radio. So Tesla eventually won that battle, although he was dead by then.
• Tesla VS Edison: I could write a novel on the differences between Tesla and Edison, but seeing as how this comic is already huge I decided to leave many things out. For instance, Edison killed cats and dogs, but Tesla loved animals and had a cat as a child. Originally Tesla wanted to be a poet, but after getting zapped by static electricity from his kitty he was inspired to study the effects of electricity. One could vaguely construe that Tesla's cat was responsible for the second industrial revolution, which arguably makes it the most awesome cat who ever lived. 
  Edison believed that fossil fuels were the future and that there were enough resources in South America to provide for the next 50,000 years. Tesla believed that renewable energy sources like hydroelectric, solar, and wind power were the future. This is remarkable because in the 1890s there was no such thing as "going green," so Tesla's ideas on conservation were very forward-thinking at the time.
• Lastly, a big thank you to Jane C. Daugherty for proofreading this article for me. If you want to learn things from the most awesome librarian this side of the North American tectonic plate, follow her on Twitter.

"CHARIOTS OF FIRE" OUT ON SPECIAL EDITION BLU-RAY FROM WARNER'S

Chariots of Fire

Warner Bros. was able to kill two birds with one remaster this year. Not only are we getting this classic story of faith and fitness in a glorious Blu-ray release, but they’re also giving it a renewed theatrical showing in the UK in honor of the 2012 London Olympics. It’s all perfectly timed, as Chariots does tell the story of two Olympians, a Jewish man who runs to battle prejudice and a devoutly Catholic Scottish man who runs despite his dedication to his faith and its missions. Together, they brought glory to Britain in the 1924 Olympics. The result is a timeless convergence of sportsmanship and cinema showmanship, a well-acted, thoroughly emotional experience at the hand of director Hugh Hudson. The score, most notably the synthesizer heavy opening theme, is the stuff of pop culture legend. It will live on long beyond the memory of those who know where it originates, from the Academy Award winning score of Vangelis. The choice to go 80s synth instead of big, sweeping orchestral work for a triumphant story of national heroism in the 1920s was a bold one, but it’s what make this film such a unique experience. On Blu-ray, the film sings. The remastered visuals are gorgeous. Crisp and colorful with only a minimal amount of digital noise, something rare in transfers from the films of the 1980s. The soundtrack is full-force, as ever. From the packaging to the special features, this release has all the fine touches of something made specially for a year of Olympians.

Extras Highlight: This special edition comes with a CD sampler of the soundtrack. Which is excellent when combined with a few hours worth of behind the scenes footage and the aforementioned great looking Blu-ray transfer.

10 STAN LEE CAMEOS

10 STAN LEE CAMEOS FROM FILM SCHOOL REJECTS

3

There used to be a time when only die-hard comic book fans knew what Stan Lee looked like. His likeness appeared in many of the Marvel comic books for the 60s, 70s, and 80s, but to the average person, he was nothing more than a guy with some shaded glasses.

Then Hollywood started putting the guy in some movies. He’s never had a very big part, but to honor the man for helping to create some of the most legendary superheroes (and some of the biggest moneymakers for the movie business), Lee has been given customary cameos in almost every major movie that has been made from characters he helped create.

Those who have seen The Amazing Spider-Man (which should be most of you faithful readers, by now) were treated to one of his best and funniest cameos yet. And with more Marvel movies coming down the pike, he’s sure to show up many times again. This gave us a chance to look back on his many appearances over the years and assemble a list of his ten best cameos.

Excelsior!

10. The Trial of the Incredible Hulk (1989) – Jury Foreman

This makes the list mainly because it is his first cameo in a Marvel movie, playing the jury foreman. Sure, it was a made-for-TV movie, but you’ve gotta start somewhere. Plus, he actually gets a line in this one (which amounts to him saying the Hulk is “a big guy!” right before the jury box is ripped apart). We’re not sure if this earned Lee a SAG or AFTRA card, but it was the first step for him.

9. X-Men (2000) – Hot Dog Vendor

Like his appearance in The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, this gets a mention because it was a first. With X-Men as the first Marvel movie to kick off the string of superhero films we have today, it was a nice gesture for Bryan Singer to let Stan the Man grab some screen time when Senator Kelly washes up on the beach. Ironically, Lee would only make one other cameo in an X-Men movie (X-Men: The Last Stand), even though there have been five movies made in the franchise.

8. Fantastic Four (2005) – Willie Lumpkin

Stan Lee’s appearance as postman Willie Lumpkin in the first Fantastic Four movie gets points for actually being something more than a walk-on role. In the comics, Willie actually gets some ink. Sadly, the character wasn’t developed in the sequel, so it ranks a little lower by being underutilized.

July 20, 2012 will mark the 38th anniversary of the Turkish Invasion. After 38 years, one third of Cyprus is still occupied. This month, despite Turkish threats, Cyprus took over the EU Presidency. Yet, developments have been alarming; with Turkeynot only interfering with the sovereign rights of the Cypriot Republic but it is also threatening US-business interests in the area. It is also in violation of Article 49 of the Geneva Convention by forcibly colonizing the occupied part of the island with population from inner Turkey at the expense of the local Turkish Cypriot residents. June 5, 2012 upon the urging of Cypriot-American and Greek-American organizations nationwide, US Representatives Bilirakis of Florida and Engel of New York introduced House Resolution 676 and Senators Menendez & Snowe introduced Senate Resolution 47 condemning Turkish policies of threatening Cyprus in its effort to develop its natural resources and criticizing it for its policy of forced population transfers into occupied Cyprus from Turkey's inland. Kormakitis (photo below)  is a small village in northwest Cyprus. In 1974 Kormakitis was bombed by the Turkish Army.The Population of the Village was 100% Maronites (successors of the ancient Lusignan Dynasty from western France).The School was abandoned in1974.

CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ORWELL...

Adapted from an introduction by Christopher Hitchens toDiaries, by George Orwell, to be published next month by Liveright; introduction © 2012 by the Estate of Christopher Hitchens.

At various points in his essays—notably in “Why I Write” but also in his popular column “As I Please”—George Orwell gave us an account of what made him tick, as it were, and of what supplied the motive for his work. At different times he instanced what he called his “power of facing unpleasant facts”; his love for the natural world, “growing things,” and the annual replenishment of the seasons; and his desire to forward the cause of democratic socialism and oppose the menace of Fascism. Other strong impulses include his near-visceral feeling for the English language and his urge to defend it from the constant encroachments of propaganda and euphemism, and his reverence for objective truth, which he feared was being driven out of the world by the deliberate distortion and even obliteration of recent history.

As someone who had been brought up in a fairly rarefied and distinctly reactionary English milieu, in which the underclass of his own society and the millions of inhabitants of its colonial empire were regarded with a mixture of fear and loathing, Orwell also made an early decision to find out for himself what the living conditions of these remote latitudes were really “like.” This second commitment, to acquaint himself with the brute facts as they actually were, was to prove a powerful reinforcement of his latent convictions.

Read with care, George Orwell’s diaries, from the years 1931 to 1949, can greatly enrich our understanding of how Orwell transmuted the raw material of everyday experience into some of his best-known novels and polemics.

HOW TO SPEND 48 HOURS IN CYCLADES...

By MICHAEL PERRY, REUTERS

Greece is struggling under a mountain of debt, violent street protests erupt in the capital Athens, and world financial markets fear Greece will exit the euro zone.

But Greece is still a great place to visit - just head to its idyllic islands. Reuters correspondents with local knowledge help visitors explore Paros and Santorini.

FRIDAY

4 p.m. - Fly from Athens to Paros, a short 30-minute flight. After settling in, stroll down to the road that hugs the main port of Parikia and walk along the seawall, where you will be joined by not only tourists but local families who routinely end their day watching the sunset over the Mediterranean.

The port road hugs the sea and is littered with tavernas offering relaxing lounges and cool sunset drinks, but keep strolling until you reach the 13th century Venetian castle which overlooks the port. Parts of the castle are made from the ancient temple that once stood in the same spot.

5 p.m. - You will reach Parikia's most popular beach, Livadia, after a short walk. It's a great place for your first swim in the Mediterranean and if you want a drink before heading back into the centre of the port for dinner.

7 p.m. - Now that darkness has fallen it's time for some shopping. Just wander through the maze of streets that bisect Parikia's old village. By day the heat is stifling as the sea breeze, like the pirates of old, gets lost, but by night it's cool and exciting. Shopping here is cheaper than Athens and Santorini, and the shops offer boutique, locally made items.

8 p.m. - Shopping can make you hungry. Many of the seaside tavernas serve chargrilled octopus and fish caught in the waters that lap Parikia. For something more upmarket, head to Central Market Street, for the whitewashed and vine-covered courtyard restaurant Levantis. Levantis serves modern Mediterranean dishes, such as oven baked lamb rolled in vine leaves with fresh herbs and feta, fava bean puree and mint sauce.

For the romantics, try Franca Scala wine bar and restaurant on Palea Agora, a little to the north of Levantis.

10 p.m. - After dinner it's a short stroll to Pebbles jazzbar overlooking the port, a funky little bar with live music until late in the night. There's also the Pirate Bar at the foot of Franca Scala for jazz, blues and classical music.

SATURDAY

7 a.m. - Start the day with a swim and a classic Greek breakfast of Greek coffee, yoghurt and fruit. Be careful not to stir your coffee just before drinking (...)

NASTY GAL 2, THE SEQUEL: HOW TO DRESS WITH EXQUISITE TASTE FOR LESS WITH SOPHIA AMORUSO!

MR. DAVID CAMERON YOU ARE DARN RIGHT! START DEPORTING ALL GREEKS FROM UK INCLUDING THE OLYMPIC GAMES AND THE STOLEN PARTHENON SCULPTURES AND ARTIFACTS!

A sunset in the Temple of Poseidon, in Sounion, southeast of Attiki, Greece. You can't deport that! (Now go back to your 10 Down-ing Street cave). I selected Sounion, a location of breathtaking beauty over UK prime minister Cameron because he's FUGLY.

International amnesty and the cherished right of any European citizen to travel and work freely across the EU is being seriously tested by the collapse of the “Old World economy.”

David Cameron will use draconian measures that would put Greeks on the same footage as most people from the Third World, if Greece exits the euro and as a result you will witness the so-called “Grexodus” of emigrants from the UK.

The British prime minister spoke as if Greeks carried the plaque, and he actually swore that he would do anything to “protect” his country from any sort of invasion. To add to the intensity of the situation, the Greek media has been reporting a rising in the anti-Greek sentiment in those few parts of Europe that are still fairly prosperous.

It is actually a fact that the first new checks on the movement of people between EU member countries in many years are being quietly imposed. Even Canadians were caught up in the dragnet, alongside the rest of the Southern Europeans.

LIBOR RIGGING SCANDAL AFFECTED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MORTGAGE PAYMENTS IN EUROPE. BARCLAYS RELEASES EMAIL IMPLICATING UK GOVERNMENT.

The LIBOR manipulation story has exploded into a major scandal overseas. The CEO of Barclays, Bob Diamond, has resigned in disgrace; his was the first of what will undoubtedly be many major banks to walk the regulatory plank for fixing the interbank exchange rate. The Labor party is demanding a sweeping criminal investigation. Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England, responded the way a real public official should (i.e. not like Ben Bernanke), blasting the banks:

It is time to do something about the banking system…Many people in the banking industry are hardworking and feel badly let down by some of their colleagues and leaders. It goes to the culture and the structure of banks: the excessive compensation, the shoddy treatment of customers, the deceitful manipulation of a key interest rate, and today, news of yet another mis-selling scandal.

The furor is over revelations that Barclays, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and other banks were monkeying with at least $10 trillion in loans (The Wall Street Journal is calculating that that LIBOR affects $800 trillion worth of contracts).

The banks gamed LIBOR for two semi-overlapping reasons. As noted here last week, there were instances of Barclays traders badgering the LIBOR submitters to "push down" rates in order to fatten their immediate bottom lines, depending on what they were trading or holding that day. They also apparently rigged LIBOR downward in order to produce a general appearance of better health, essentially tweaking their credit scores a few ticks upward.

Again: Libor, the London Interbank Exchange Rate, is the rate at which banks borrow from each other. A huge percentage of the world’s variable-rate investments are pegged to Libor. When Libor rates are high, it suggests that the banks’ confidence in each other is low, and high Libor rates are generally an indicator of shaky financial health among the banks. If the banks manipulated Libor, they did it to make themselves look healthier, but this had the consequence of affecting hundreds of trillions of dollars’ worth of financial products worldwide.

During the crash of 2008, governments understandably would have been concerned about high Libor rates – high rates and a lack of confidence in banks threatened economic stability – but the notion that governments would have encouraged banks to fake those rates would have been beyond unthinkable even a decade ago.

WILLIAM SADLER AND AVELLAN TWINS IN ROBERT RODRIGUEZ'S "MACHETE KILLS"

(...)We already have Danny Trejo returning as the titular character, with roles for Zoe Saldana, Amber Heard, Michelle Rodriguez,Jessica Alba, and Sofia Vergara. Rodriguez has also thrown in Academy Award-nominated actor Demian Bichir and (reportedly) “Ong Bak” martial artist Tony Jaa for us cinephiles, and then there’s the potentially volatile concoction of stars Mel Gibson, as the film’s villain, and Charlie Sheen playing THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Yikes, Rodriguez surely knows how to cause a stir. (...)Now, William Sadler, the go-to character actor in films like “Die Hard 2” and “The Shawshank Redemption,” has dropped some news that he also has a role in the film via a series of tweets beginning with “First full day of filming on ‪#MacheteKills‬ the most fun you can have doing this stuff. Seriously cool.” Much like his upcoming role in helmer Shane Black’s “Iron Man 3,” few details are available on his “Machete Kills” position, but any Sadler is good Sadler in this writer’s opinion.
