The Cinematography Podcast Episode 312: Ksenia Sereda & Catherine Goldschmidt Season 2 of HBO's acclaimed series The Last of Us sees a shift not only in its narrative focus but also behind the camera, with cinematographers Ksenia Sereda and Catherine Goldschmidt, ASC, BSC, taking the visual reins. The season quickly evolves from Joel and Ellie's shared journey into a harrowing exploration of Ellie's relentless pursuit of revenge following Joel's brutal death. This quest is deeply colored by her grief and rage, yet intricately woven with a burgeoning love story between her and Dina. Ksenia, returning after her work on the celebrated first season, and Catherine, a new addition to the team, split cinematography duties. Ksenia helmed episodes 1, 3, 5, and 6, while Catherine was responsible for episodes 2, 4, and 7. The opportunity to continue collaborating with showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann was a welcome one for Ksenia. "For season 2, we wanted to push the look forward with how the characters develop," she explains. "Not to reinvent the visual language but to think, what can we do better to help the characters and to tell the story, because it's such a character-centered show. The main focus of it is following the characters you love and joining them on this big adventure.” Ksenia developed a lookbook to maintain a holistic visual language, ensuring consistency across multiple directors and the entire crew. The video game The Last of Us was the blueprint for a distinct visual identity. It was important to preserve all the iconic visuals from the game, but unlike the video game, the television adaptation allowed for more character development and connection, with longer shots. Season 2 introduces a host of new characters, storylines, and diverse color environments. Ksenia consciously avoided overly cool tones, opting for warmer colors, particularly for Ellie and Dina, to help the audience fall in love with them as their relationship develops. This warmth is also seen in the homey settlement of Jackson, a sanctuary carved out to evoke a sense of normalcy. In contrast, when Dina and Ellie journey to Seattle, the environment becomes green and lush. Catherine Goldschmidt, ASC, BSC, stepped into this established world for Season 2. Her inaugural week plunged her directly into shooting the pivotal and harrowing Episode 2, which features Joel's death. Catherine reviewed the corresponding cutscene from the game, treating it as a form of previsualization or storyboard, and then determined how to adapt it for television. “The video game acts as a reference, and there are some scenes in the scripts that are taken from the games, and there are some scenes that don't exist and are new,” she says. “It's about serving the show first and foremost, and still paying homage to the game.” Catherine also focused on grounding the lighting in realism, finding real world motivation for light sources that would authentically be available to characters in a post-apocalyptic setting. At times, she notes, "the lighting cues were even written into the script." For Episode 2, with its intense violence, Catherine knew the crew had to prioritize the actors' performances, and respect the scenes that the actors wanted to shoot first. But most violent, brutal, and scary scenes in The Last of Us are balanced by moments of profound humanity, requiring careful attention to the characters' emotional journeys. “I remember asking Craig and Neil, how are you guys planning to tackle that extreme violence?" Catherine recalls. "Craig just said, 'Well we're always trying to counterbalance it, it should always be a light and shade scenario.'” Find Ksinia Sereda: Instagram: @ksiniasereda Find Catherine Goldschmidt: Instagram: @cgdop The Cinematography Podcast website: www.camnoir.com YouTube: @TheCinematographyPodcast Facebook: @cinepod Instagram: @thecinepod Blue Sky: @thecinepod.bsky.social

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 311: Jacques Jouffret, ASC Netflix's American Primeval plunges viewers into the harsh realities of a gritty, naturalistic Western winter. Cinematographer Jacques Jouffret, ASC, who shot all six episodes, collaborated closely with director Peter Berg to immerse the audience in the era's unforgiving environment. “That was really a lot of hard work. Pete wanted the audience to feel the difficulty of living in that period,” says Jacques. “He wanted to feel the dirt, dust, grime and the ugliness of it and the violence of it. And I tried to get into that spirit. My job was to really make the audience feel that coldness, the chill that you are open to the elements.” Jacques wanted the audience to feel the cold of American Primeval's harsh winter setting, even as the production continued into summer. One of the most significant challenges was maintaining a consistently overcast sky, and there were few interior locations. During the wintertime, it was easy to shoot wider to get the overcast sky, but the weather was constantly changing. Dutch angles worked not only as a stylistic choice, but also to help hide the sky when it wasn't overcast enough. The crew would strategically shoot close, shoot in the shade, or block the sky with silks. Portraying visceral realism is an important element of Jacques and Berg's collaborations. They have worked together before on films such as Novocaine and Mile 22. “That's one thing that I love working with Pete,” he shares. “You're making the audience feel that this is real, you are watching something that is right there and I'm able to suspend that disbelief. And so that's really always the approach, to make it as real as we can. And yet I'm giving it some style to present more of the emotion, more of the mood, the atmosphere, and where I want the audience to be.” To achieve a blend of raw reality and stylistic emotional depth on American Primeval, Jacques adopted a focused visual strategy, inspired by the legendary director Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick would choose just four or five strong visual ideas, and then repeat them over and over for visual impact. For the series, Jacques established his own core visual tenets: Expansive vistas: Super wide shots to take in the vastness of the Western scenery Dynamic Dutch angles: Wide and close dutch camera angles to increase the feeling of discomfort and danger, while still including visuals critical to the story Intimate compression: Lenses with long focal lengths that compress the image, allowing the audience to be with the character in the moment Juxtaposition of extremes: A deliberate contrast between wide, long shots with everything in focus, contrasted with close-ups on the actors with a wide angle lens. This created a visual language emphasizing the harsh environment, and Jacques avoided medium shots.

Sportliche Höchstleistungen im Jahnstadion. Am Sonntag fand in Göttingen zum zweiten Mal der Halbmarathon des ASC statt. Juliane Timm war für uns vor Ort und hat im Gespräch mit Lukas Sibinski erzählt, welche Eindrücke Sie sammeln konnte.

Bienvenidos de nuevo a un directo desde Twitter, esta vez voy a darles una clase magistral sobre como funciona nuestra red eléctrica, algo complejo y sencillo a la vez. No hay ningún medio de comunicación que hable claramente sobre esto y por ello la gente no se puede formar una opinión al respecto. Se habla de oido y por regla general los tertulianos no tienen ni idea de lo que hablan. Os explicaré a grandes rasgos mi formación: Título de FP2 en la especialidad Líneas y maquinas eléctricas, eso antiguamente eran 5 años. Luego pasé algunos meses como técnico para un autónomo que trabajaba para Balay antes de irme a la mili. La mili la realice en la base aérea de Getafe como electricista dentro de la central eléctrica donde ayude a los electricistas civiles, allí teníamos varios grupos electrógenos, de varios tamaños y potencias. Al volver de la mili entre en una empresa de verificación trafos en fábricas y permisos para poner en marcha instalaciones. Después entre en una de las empresas eléctricas mas antiguas de España, J.Gil, se trata de una empresa de las primeras que construyó nuestra red eléctrica. Decir que los antiguos trabajadores de Hidroeléctrica Española hacían horas en esa empresa y que nosotros celebrábamos la comida de nochebuena con ellos. En esa empresa viví la unificación de Hidroeléctrica Española e Iberduero dando como resultado el monstruo de Iberdrola. Esa empresa empezó a ir mal y entre a otra del sector y entre las dos estuve más de 10 años en las empresas que construyen y mantienen centrales de generación y distribución trabajando por toda España. Dentro de esas dos empresas trabajé en todo tipo de instalaciones: nucleares, térmicas de carbón, hidroeléctricas, de fuel, eólicos, de todo salvo solar. Y en todo tipo de tensiones, desde las subestaciones de distribución en 20KV a las grandes centrales de 400KV. Participe en la construcción desde cero de subestaciones y centrales, instalacion de cableado de control, montaje de bastidores de protecciones y pruebas en todo tipo de instalaciones. Estuve trabajando en el cinturón de 400KV que rodea Madrid y también en la instalación de los telemandos para manejar las centrales a distancia. Trabajando en el parque de 400 KV de Vandellos se pusieron en contacto conmigo para que echara el curriculum en REE, Red eléctrica de España. Tuve que ir a Zaragoza a realizar una entrevista para ver si estaba capacitado para ser operador del sistema con ellos. Lo pase y realice también un test de conocimientos básicos y otro psicológico que también pase…pero al final mi apellido no era el adecuado y no entre. Luego contaré una anécdota al respecto. Pude ir a trabajar a Brasil y deje esta última empresa porque me querían contratar en Iberdrola y mi jefe lo impidió. Le di quince días y me marché a una pequeña ingeniera de valencia. Alli trabaje un año como delineante diseñando telecontroles, teledisparos, equipos de protección de red y modificaciones en centrales eléctricas. Allí colaboré en el diseño de subestaciones para Brasil. Pero yo soy un técnico de campo, una rata de calle y parque al aire libre, por lo que terminé yéndome a la empresa donde sigo trabajando hoy dia. Dicha multinacional fue a su vez comprada por otra aún mayor, nada menos que GE. Así que sí, he trabajado para GE (General Electric) como técnico de campo, incluso me dieron un cuadro de reconocimiento, ja, ja, ja. En esta empresa llevo los últimos 25 años. Se trata de una empresa que produce energía y la inyecta a la red todos los días desde todas partes del mundo. Así que sí, creo estar capacitado para hablar sobre el apagón del dia 28, otro fatídico 8, a las 12:33 Decir que las explicaciones que ha dado REE a través de Eduardo Prieto como director de servicios para la operación de Red eléctrica son claramente insuficientes. Un escueto video de 50 segundos publicado en su página web donde simplemente nos dicen que la demanda había sido repuesta en un 77% a las 4 de la mañana… De momento nadie ha dado una respuesta verosímil sobre lo que de verdad a pasado. REE, la empresa privado-estatal que maneja la red eléctrica ha dicho esto en su sala de prensa. Tan solo ha explicado que a las 12 de la noche se recuperó el 60% de la demanda y a las 2 de la mañana el 77%. Esto es largo de explicar a través de unos tuits...pero digamos que es la pescadilla que se muerde la cola. Muchas instalaciones generadoras no están diseñadas para producir mientras la red está caída, lo que se denomina blackout, y necesitan que haya tensión de red para empezar a inyectar potencia a la red. Las instalaciones grandes como las nucleares y otros grupos de generación necesitan horas o incluso días para estar disponibles. Es más, las nucleares necesitan una enorme cantidad de energía eléctrica para refrigerar sus núcleos nada más desconectarse de la red. La propia distribución eléctrica consume un montón de potencia eléctrica que se disipa en forma de calor y de emisiones de radiación electromagnética en todos los cientos de miles de kilómetros del cableado eléctrico de AT (alta tensión) y en los bobinados de los trafos. Por lo tanto, la primera generación que se va recuperando debe enviarse a qué las nucleares tengan red y no utilicen sus grupos electrógenos de emergencia y en inundar las redes de distribución con tensión. De momento no he escuchado ni una explicación técnica sobre el #apagon de parte de REE o de algún medio oficial. Aquí, Eduardo Prieto, director de Servicios para la Operación de Red Eléctrica en declaraciones a los medios nos contó como iban reponiendo esta tensión para que todos tengamos electricidad en casa. Eso fue a las 20:35 y es el último comunicado publicado en la web de REE. Ya está circulando por ahí la posibilidad de que este apagón haya sido debido a la presencia de masiva de energia procedente de los paneles solares fotovoltaicos, leo: "En un sistema eléctrico dominado por paneles solares, aerogeneradores e inversores, la inercia física es prácticamente nula. Los paneles solares no producen rotación mecánica. La mayoría de los aerogeneradores modernos están desacoplados electrónicamente de la red y proporcionan poca fuerza estabilizadora. Los sistemas basados ​​en inversores, que predominan en las redes modernas de energía renovable, son precisos pero delicados. Siguen la frecuencia de la red en lugar de resistir cambios repentinos”. El tuitero Principia Marsupia decía: “Veremos si tiene algo que ver con el apagón de hoy o no, pero hay un concepto del que se habla muy poco: la **inercia** de un sistema eléctrico. La inercia funciona como un amortiguador ante las fluctuaciones. Las centrales nucleares, las hidroeléctrica, las de gas, etc. proporcionan inercia al sistema xq tienen el mismo principio de funcionamiento: turbinas muy pesadas que giran muy rápido (a 50 vueltas por segundo = 50 hertzios). Esos bichos tan pesados girando a tanta velocidad tienen una inercia muy grande. Newton nos enseñó que cuanta más inercia tienes, más fuerza tiene que ejercer el exterior para cambiar tu velocidad de rotación. Dicho de otra manera: esos sistemas "absorben" las fluctuaciones de forma instantánea y muy eficiente. Por supuesto, todo tiene su límite y también puede haber apagones con esas centrales. ¿Y la solar y la eólica? La solar y la eólica producen electricidad sin una masa que proporcione inercia. (Los molinos eólicos no giran a 50 vueltas por segundo). Ojo: yo soy muy partidario de las renovables. Son más baratas y nos hacen depender menos de los países que exportan petróleo o gas. Pero creo que no se explica bien que cuando dependemos *sólo* de las renovables, el diseño y la gestión de la red es mucho más compleja. Y dicho esto, repito: no sé si el apagón de hoy ha sido un problema con la inercia del sistema. En todo caso, os he podido dar la chapa con un tema que me parece interesantísimo.” Es cierto que el dia del apagón el aporte de la energia fotovoltaica fue mayor de un 60% dentro del mix energético, concretamente un 60,64% con 17.657 MW. Pero hace solo unos días, el 21 de abril de 2025, la energía fotovoltaica alcanzó un récord en España, aportando el 61,5% del mix energético peninsular a las 13:35 horas, con una producción instantánea de 20.120 MW. El 19 de marzo de 2023, a las 11:37 horas, la energía solar fotovoltaica cubrió el 64,5% de la demanda eléctrica en España, marcando un récord histórico…sin que sufrieramos un apagón. ………………………………………………………………………………………. contar que es la red…tendréis que escuchar mi explicación ………………………………………………………………………………………. Decir que consultando los datos vemos que a las 12 y 20 no solo estábamos produciendo lo que consumían los españoles sino que estábamos exportando o guardando energia en forma bombeo. En concreto estábamos exportando 1 GW (a grosso modo una central nuclear) a Francia, 2,6 GW a Portugal y 3 GW se estaban destinando a bombear agua en presas para luego turbinarla, esto es, para en otro momento donde la energia sea mas cara vender de nuevo esa energia. Y casi un 1 GW más destinado a Marruecos, Andorra, etc… O sea, a las 12 y 20, 13 minutos antes del desastre nos sobraban casi 7 GW. En ese momento teníamos algunas de nuestras centrales nucleares en marcha, en torno a la mitad, por lo que estábamos produciendo unos 3 GW de forma nuclear. Por no decir que en España existe también el servicio de Interrumpibilidad por el que cobran y muy bien algunas de las empresas que mas energia eléctrica consumen. Este servicio significa que en caso de necesidad estas empresas serán desconectadas de la red por el operador y tendrán que funcionar en isla, o sea, se tendrán que generar ellas mismas su energía. Este servicio se empezó a gestionar en la Orden ITC/2370/2007, de 26 de julio, y hoy dia no está claro cuantos gigavatios hay destinados a esto. Esto funciona por subasta, el gobierno ofrece este chollo solo a las empresas afines, ya que como yo he comentado en mis artículos y podcast titulados “La red de araña” la corrupción y el oscurantismo en este sector es generalizado. Hace años que no busco datos sobre este respecto pero han habido años donde habían mas de 7 GW destinados a esto. Por ello estas empresas pagan su energia mas barata que la señora Maria que utiliza la electricidad para usar su secador de pelo y cuatro bombillas. Hoy se llama Servicio de Respuesta Activa de la Demanda (SRAD) y son solo unos 2 GW, podemos leer esto: “Las subastas de interrumpibilidad, tal como se conocían tradicionalmente, han evolucionado en España. Desde 2022, se han reemplazado por un nuevo mecanismo denominado Servicio de Respuesta Activa de la Demanda (SRAD), según el Real Decreto-ley 17/2022. Este servicio permite a grandes consumidores, como la industria electrointensiva, y otros agentes con al menos 1 MW de potencia reducir su consumo eléctrico en momentos críticos para el sistema eléctrico, a cambio de una retribución económica. A diferencia del antiguo sistema, la retribución se basa en la disponibilidad y, en caso de activación, en la ejecución efectiva de la reducción de consumo. En 2024, se anunció que la subasta para el SRAD de 2025 se celebraría el 14 de noviembre, con un requerimiento de 2.116 MW. Estas subastas, gestionadas por Red Eléctrica de España (REE), son telemáticas, anuales y abiertas a más participantes que las antiguas subastas de interrumpibilidad, que estaban restringidas principalmente a la gran industria. Por tanto, las subastas de interrumpibilidad como tal ya no existen, pero el SRAD cumple una función similar, adaptada a un marco regulatorio más moderno y flexible, alineado con las directrices de la Unión Europea.” Esto nos dice que en cualquier momento nos podríamos deshacer de la producción de 9 GW…ya saben que supuestamente todo ha sobrevenido porque nos faltaron de golpe 15GW en un consumo de entorno 26. Les hablare de como se calcula la energia necesaria que tenemos que producir para no tener problemas. Toda la energia que podemos producir se denomina “capacidad efectiva” y toda la energia que necesitamos en un instante se llama “demanda máxima bruta coincidente”. Lógicamente esta ultima debe ser menor que lo que podemos producir, esa diferencia se denomina “margen de reserva”. Y aqui es donde vienen las curvas. Lógicamente no todas las instalaciones están operativas: Puedes estar paradas debido a un mantenimiento programado, a un fallo, a la degradación por el paso del tiempo o al cajón de sastre que denominan “causas ajenas”. Asi que ese margen de reserva que teníamos antes se nos ha reducido hasta lo que se conoce como “margen de reserva operativo”. Por tanto tenemos una capacidad neta disponible que debe superar a la demanda máxima neta en ese “margen de reserva operativo”. Dicho margen esta compuesto por el margen de reserva de generación, la demanda interrumpible y la capacidad de interconexión (nuestra red está conectada a la de otros países y podemos exportar o importar electricidad). Nuestra interconexión principal es con Francia, pueden buscarla como Inelfe, una linea que pretende que pasemos del 3% de interconexión actual a un 10%...o sea aproximadamente 10 GWh… esto solo puede servir para enviar nuestra energía sobrante ...porque a nosotros nos sobra aproximadamente un 70% de todo lo que hay instalado en este santo país. Hice unos cálculos sobre el margen de reserva en 2014, son estos: Pues bien, si nosotros tenemos oficialmente 108 GWh (yo creo que son mas bien 120 GWh...pero "aceptamos pulpo") y consumimos en una franja entre los 22 y 36 GWh...¿Cuantos GWh nos sobran?... Pues bastante mas de esos 10 GWh que si no paran en Francia (que pararan, vaya si pararan)...y le dejo aqui los fríos datos extraídos de ese pdf que Vd. obvio y ojo es un pdf muy, pero que muy pronuke… Le remarco lo de la flechita para que vea que ES PARA EXTRAER NUESTRA ENERGIA SOBRANTE CREADA EN INSTALACIONES QUE EMPLEAN ENERGIA RENOVABLE LA QUE CIRCULARA POR LAS REDES FRANCESAS...PORQUE ELLOS DE ESO POCO... Para calcular el margen de reserva de nuestra red necesitamos conocer estos tres factores: MRG ó margen de reserva de generación. Como tenemos parados casi todos los ciclos combinados, y según Iberdrola, este margen es grande de casi 30 GWh (datos del 2010, ahora sera mayor) y ya que cobran sumas astronómicas en concepto de disponibilidad pues que estén preparados para empezar a generar, leñe. DI ó demanda interrumpible. Esto por si no lo saben nuestros oyentes se trata de un convenio entre las empresas eléctricas y los grandes consumidores via subvención del estado para que sean avisados y dada la circunstancia de un preapagon se queden fuera de la red, esto es, les sea cortado el suministro eléctrico para compensar la demanda en ese momento, a veces simplemente para gestionar las tensiones en la red. La ultima orden de interrumpibilidad se produjo en diciembre del 2009 en el sur de España. Solo se pueden sumar a estas "primas" los grandes consumidores de mas de 100MW, o sea, a estas grandes industrias la luz les sale bastante mas barata por este y otros motivos que a un pequeño consumidor. CI ó capacidad de interconexiones. Actualmente gozamos de unos 10 GWh que serán ampliados en breve gracias al proyecto INELFE pasando a los 15 GWh ampliable a los 25 GWh, que consiste en enterrar unas líneas de corriente continua entre Francia y España. Todo esto hace que nuestra capacidad bruta de 108 GWh oficiales y nuestra capacidad efectiva que es la suma de la demanda bruta coincidente y el margen de reserva sean bastante grandes y parecidos. Yo calculo a grosso modo que esta capacidad efectiva seria de: 36GWh del pico máximo actual, ya que no volveremos en mucho tiempo a los 45 GWh de nuestra burbuja mas los 30 GWh del margen de reserva de generación mas los 6 GWh de la demanda interrumpible mas los 10 GWn actuales de la capacidad de interconexión nos arroja un total de 82 GWh. Unos 82 GWh, que descontandole el aproximadamente el 25 % de fallos, degradación, causas ajenas y al mantenimiento de equipos nos arroja una potencia de margen de reserva operativo mas demanda bruta coincidente de 61,5 GWh y esa y no otra seria la potencia bruta instalada mínima que precisaríamos en estos momentos. Sin embargo nosotros que hemos tenido un pico máximo de demanda de 45 GWh en plena burbuja inmobiliaria, tenemos instalada la friolera de 108 GWh lo que nos arroja un margen de reserva del 59%. Vamos por último a comparar estos valores con dos países, el primero México: En el informe del 2012 de la comisión nacional de energia eléctrica podemos leer los datos del 2011, esto es, México tuvo una demanda media de 38,85 GWh y una capacidad bruta de generación de 54 GWh, lo que deja un margen de reserva operativo del 24 %, o lo que es lo mismo en Mexico hacen los deberes. Veamos ahora el caso de Francia: Su pico máximo de demanda en el año 2010 fue de 96 GWh y ellos tienen una capacidad bruta instalada de 123,5 GWh así que esto nos arroja un margen de reserva operativo de tan solo un 22 %, o sea peor margen de reserva que México y no digamos con nuestro abultadisimo margen del 59 %. Todos los autores están de acuerdo en que este valor de reserva se debe situar entre el 25 y el 30%... así que le dedico estos datos a un pronuclear cabezón que sigue opinando que nuestra red no puede funcionar sin la mano que nos echan los franceses...pero ya vemos que es al revés y que en breve aun necesitaran mas de nuestras energias renovables. ………………………………………………………………………….. Quería comentar que los cortes eléctricos que puedan inestabilizar el sistema no son tan poco frecuentes, yo he vivido dos. El más importante, sin lugar a dudas fue el de 1987 provocado por un fallo en un trafo de 220 KV en la subestación de Sentmenat. Durante aquellos días estaba trabajando en la ET de la Plana (Castellon), punto estratégico donde se pudo aislar la avería junto con la ET de la Mudarra en Valladolid. Para ello fue preciso el sacar las “palas” de los relés de protección de sobreintensidad (que por cierto eran GE , como casi todos) y controlar la línea “a mano”. Os dejo un fragmento del libro histórico de REE , donde se recoge aquel accidente, en la pág. 31 podemos leer esto: “…El apagón de Cataluña de 1987 El 14 de octubre de 1987 se produce un apagón en Cataluña que deja sin servicio al 91 % del mercado catalán y desacopla las conexiones con Francia. El incidente se origina a las 22:44 horas en la subestación de Sentmenat (Barcelona), al explotar un polo de un interruptor. La situación se agrava a las 23:20 horas al dispararse la línea Aragón-La Plana, lo que afecta al resto de las centrales eléctricas de la zona. En concreto se disparan los grupos de La Robla, Teruel, Ascó, Vandellós I y Garoña. La potencia de la central de Cofrentes se queda en 80 megavatios. Para superar esta situación, se acoplan grupos de fuelóleo en Sant Adriá de Besós, Foix, Cercs y Castellón. El suministro se normaliza al cien por cien a la 1:45 horas de la madrugada. «Se puede hablar de perturbación general. Es la incidencia mayor que se ha registrado en la etapa de la explotación unificada», asegura José Alburquerque, que fue jefe del CECOEL entre 1990 y 1999 y ahora está jubilado…” (OJO 4 Nucleares paradas, y bajar a 80 MW Cofrentes es una parada técnica de emergencia en toda regla, la situación se puso al rojo vivo) Sobretodo se han dado situaciones de peligro en la zona de Cataluña, aunque tras crear el doble anillo de 400 KV de la red eléctrica se ha mejorado muchísimo. Figuraos que hasta hace no tanto tiempo toda la energía eléctrica que salía y/o entraba a Segovia lo hacía por un único interruptor de 400 KV. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Special: Adam Bricker, ASC Cinematographer Adam Bricker, ASC chats with Illya at our live podcast event hosted by the Broadcast Education Association at NAB Las Vegas. Adam discusses his early career and education, his breakthrough role as the DP of Chef's Table on Netflix, and his work as the sole cinematographer on all four seasons of the Max TV show, Hacks. Adam enjoys shifting between the documentary style of Chef's Table and the narrative scripted comedy of Hacks. "I want my documentary work to be like a movie, and I want my movies to feel more like documentaries," he says. "So I think that they're obviously different muscles. I've been lucky to do a season of Hacks, and then spend the summer traveling with my friends and shooting Chef's Table and then going back to Hacks." You can watch the current season of Hacks on Max, and the new season of Chef's Table: Legends will be on Netflix April 28.

A stuck elevator packed with twenty-three Bible college students becomes an unexpected metaphor for spiritual awakening in this powerful Easter message. When we're trapped between floors—books and backpacks pressing against us, someone desperately needing a bathroom—we suddenly notice emergency buttons and speakers that were there all along. Similarly, we often remain oblivious to God's presence until life corners us with questions nothing else can answer.Drawing from John 20, this message explores how Mary Magdalene's discovery of the empty tomb sparked the greatest hope humanity has ever known. Nobody expected resurrection that first Easter morning—not even the disciples who had followed Jesus for three years. They didn't fully understand until they personally witnessed the empty tomb. This revelation transformed their devastating grief into world-changing conviction.The resurrection fundamentally distinguishes Christianity from all other belief systems. As the pastor powerfully states, "Christianity is not based on the teachings of Jesus. Christianity is based on the person of Jesus." This challenges listeners to confront the essential question: Did Jesus actually rise from the dead? If so, neither our painful experiences, disappointing church encounters, nor intellectual objections change the fact that a resurrected Savior demands our attention.Most profoundly, the message reveals how God's redemptive power operates in our darkest moments. Just as Easter Sunday emerged from Good Friday's tragedy, God specializes in bringing hope from sorrow and purpose from pain. The story of Mothers Against Drunk Driving—founded by a grieving mother whose daughter was killed—demonstrates how God can transform our most devastating losses into powerful testimonies that save others.Whether you need to trust Jesus for the first time, remind yourself that God can redeem your current struggles, or simply reconnect with faith after drifting away, this Easter message invites you to experience the living hope only found in a risen Savior. As C.S. Lewis observed, Christianity "if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."

Nutrition is increasingly being considered as a modifiable factor that may influence neurodevelopmental outcomes. While severe deficiencies in certain nutrients are known to have dramatic effects, there is growing interest in the potential impact of more subtle insufficiencies — particularly during critical windows such as pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood. In conditions like ADHD, dyslexia, and autism spectrum condition (ASC), questions have been raised around whether specific nutrients may play a role in cognitive performance, attention, or learning. Could low choline intake be a contributing factor to altered brain function? Are individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions more likely to have different nutrient needs or metabolic profiles? And how might practical dietary strategies fit into a broader management approach? In this episode, Dr. Emma Derbyshire discusses the evidence on choline and other brain-related nutrients in the context of neurodiversity.

April 18, 2025 Scott, Mark, and Ray discuss questions that came into the PRS Helpdesk:For the past 8 months, I have been in an employed position with a county hospital system that provides inpatient and ambulatory services. Their coding consultants (acsteam.net) are telling the hospital that foley catheter insertions, bladder irrigations, and a list of other procedures commonly performed in urology clinics cannot be billed if they are not performed personally by the physician according to CMS. They reference a list of procedures from CMS and state that these services cannot be billed when performed by ancillary staff regardless of the level of supervision. They use https://www.cms.gov/status-indicators as their source citing the section on PC or TC indicators. Can this be true? Is it possible that this consultant is giving advice from a hospital perspective and not aware of differences between the ambulatory setting? The urology clinic I am working in is not a department of the hospital. It is freestanding. I have never worked in a clinic that did not bill for these services performed by ancillary staff with physician supervision.I look forward to your response.Good afternoon, my question is regarding "Incident to" required documentation. When we attended your seminar this past December, on Day 2, the new "Incident to Rule" was discuss. Can you please help clarify the new rule?

Luke 19:28-40After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?' just say this, ‘The Lord needs it.' ” So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” They said, “The Lord needs it.” Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. Now as he was approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying,“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!”Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, order your disciples to stop.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.” Why do we do hard things? Why do we voluntarily endure pain, like summiting mount everest, writing a novel, or finishing all the New York Times games, including Sudoku! I don't understand for the life of me why people run marathons… 26.2 miles? Hours of running just to run? And people pay money for that?! Why do we choose things that will undoubtedly bring us pain? Most of us are wired to pursue pleasure and avoid pain. We tend to choose activities with low cost and high reward. Effort is hard; pain isn't fun—so we try to reduce both whenever possible. We say we want things to be easy. But strangely, we often value the things that cost us something—things that ask more of us than we thought we had. We want some place or thing to pour our effort into. But why?There are a few theories. One is called the Effort Paradox. Ian Hutchinson wrote about it in The Atlantic recently. While effort is typically something we shy away from, it can paradoxically draw us in and enhance the value of what we're doing. Hutchinson gives the example of the Comrades Marathon - a 55 miles race in South Africa. But here is the kicker, you have twelve hours to complete it. Right at the twelve hour mark, a group of people link arms and block the finish line! You're not even allowed to complete the hell you've put yourself through. And yet, those who don't finish often come back year after year—because the effort itself is satisfying.We see this paradox elsewhere, too. Kids at play make up extra rules or obstacles, just to make the game harder—and more fun.Now Hutchinson admits the appeal of hard work varies among people. Some are motivated by the joy and purpose derived from tackling difficult tasks. But the Effort Paradox doesn't explain which hard things we choose, or why. Yes, effort can make us feel good and imbue a sense of value. But is that enough to explain the hard things we really choose? Things like parenting. Marriage. Leading a team. Starting a business. Caring for a dying parent. The pain isn't part of the appeal—so why do we stay in it?This is where our friend David Brooks offers a deeper take. He asks: how do people endure the most severe challenges and overcome the most alluring temptations? It's generally not through heroic willpower and self-control. If those faculties were strong enough, diets would work, and New Year's resolutions would be kept. No, we tend to endure great pain only when we are possessed by something more gripping, namely love. When something or someone seizes us, we can't help but fall in love. And love demands devotion. It animates us — but it also conquers us. It calls for persistence, obedience, and sacrifice. This is not just why folks get married but how they stay married. It's why you make a third breakfast for your toddler after he fed the first one to the dog and threw the second one across the table. It's why after decades you continue in the same vocation, no matter how maddening it may be at times. It's this kind of love—not satisfaction from a completed task—that makes hard things meaningful. And paradoxically, Brooks argues, the more we embrace difficulties in this life, rather than avoid them, the more meaningful, passionate, and purposeful this life becomes.So all week I kept asking myself: what seized Jesus? What love compelled him? Because that's the only way to make sense of what he does. Why would Jesus willingly make his way into Jerusalem? Why does he choose the pain that lies ahead? He doesn't just allow it—he pursues it. Why is he determined to face death?All week as I read the text, it just made little to no sense to me. Why would anyone get on a young donkey that has never been ridden and ride it down the side of a mountain? Have you ever ridden a horse or a donkey downhill? I have. It's terrifying. And that was on a trained animal! Jesus zigzags an untrained donkey down a steep slope to the very city where he knows he'll be crucified, all while seemingly celebrating the ceremonial chants of his kingship? What kind of king chooses this? What kind of God volunteers for death? Why would anyone, Jesus included, go through such effort? And, is there any effort greater than bearing the sin of the whole world with open arms? Than defeating death once and for all? It can't just be about grit. This isn't the kind of effort that brings satisfaction just because it was difficult. No, it has to be something else. It has to be that for some reason Jesus is captivated by love, a deep irradiating love for you, me, and all the world. A love that is beyond our logic of pleasure and pain. A love that is so animating and self-denying that it demands devotion and obedience, obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. That's what Palm Sunday is all about. It's not just the triumphal entry, but the choice to love us all the way to suffering and death. It's a celebration of such all-consuming love.This Holy Week, allow yourself to be consumed by that love. Let this story, which is about to unfold over the next few days, grip you. Let it captivate you, whether you've heard it eighty times or it's your first. Brooks says, “The capacity to be seized is a great and underappreciated talent.”So be seized—by this God in flesh, riding on a donkey to his death in order to give you and me life. Don't turn from the pain thats coming. If anything lean into - ponder it, see it for what it is - effort! Effort on your behalf. As one psychologist wrote, “effort is one of the things that gives meaning to life. Effort means that you care about something”. And it is Jesus' effort that gives meaning to our life, to your life. All through Lent, we try our best to do hard things, painful things; not because we want the satisfaction of doing something difficult, but because the effort is a sign of devotion, an outpouring of love. This week, take your practice one step further. If it's fasting, add a day, if it's not eating something, remove something else. If it's prayer, add more time. If it's generosity, give even more. And if you didn't start a practice—don't worry. It's not too late.Come to the prayer vigil. Make Maundy Thursday a priority—hear again the Last Supper and Judas' betrayal. Witness the pain of Good Friday. Feel it. It will make Easter Sunday all the more joyful!We do all of this not so that we will be loved, but to see and experience just how much you are loved already. Maybe—just maybe—you'll begin to feel the devotion that led Jesus to his death. Yes, I'm asking you to voluntarily choose pain this week. But paradoxically I think it will make the week all the better. As C.S. Lewis said “When pain is over, it is over, and the natural sequel is joy.” The same is true for this week. There will be pain. There will be death. And there will be resurrection. But let's not skip over the first two.Why do we do hard things? Because love demands it. And this week, Love rides in on a donkey, walks through betrayal, bears a cross, and cracks open a tomb. Let this love seize you.Amen.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 457. I had been meaning to talk to my old friend Sheldon Richman, of the Libertarian Institute and TGIF column, about his own IP Odyssey, as he's always been great on this issue, (( My IP Odyssey; as quoted in “Your failed business model is not my problem”; Sheldon Richman, “Patent Nonsense," IP Debate Breaks Out at FEE. Others, e.g. Richman, The Articles of Confederation Versus the Constitution. )) and many others. At the same time I had been talking to André Simoni of Brazil about some questions he had about applying my/Rothbard's title-transfer contract theory to some questions he had about interest payments on student loans and other contracts, usury, and so on. I had thought of talking to André and Sheldon separately but decided to combine them, partly because I confused André's topic with a discussion I had also been having at the same time with Galambosian Brian Gladish about IP and Galambos. (( On Galambos, see the following. On Gladish, see the next note.

(I may talk to Gladish later about Galambos and IP.) (( Gladish on Galambos at ASC; his comments at: Have You Changed Your Mind About Intellectual Property?; Galambos and Other Nuts; Mises on Intellectual Property; Why Objectivists Hate Anarchy (Hint: IP). )) We touched on a number of topics; see the summary of our discussion points by Grok, below. https://youtu.be/7vrIz8cv2Bw Of relevance: Stephan Kinsella, “The Title-Transfer Theory of Contract,” Papinian Press Working Paper #1 (Sep. 7, 2024) Napolitano on Health-Care Reform and the Constitution: Is the Commerce Clause Really Limited?  and On Constitutional Sentimentalism (re Richman's point about the interstate commerce clause); see also his comments about federal tax power in Randy Barnett's “Federalism Amendment”–A Counterproposal; and related posts The Walmart Question, or, the Unsupported Assertions of Left-Libertarianism Ep. 382 Sheldon Richman Says Corporate Isn't a Dirty Word, Bob Murphy Show Four questions for “anti-capitalist” libertarians (Carpio)/Is Capitalism Something Good?

After keeping fans waiting for more than a year, the American Southwest Conference finally had something to say about its membership situation, and it did so with a bang, swiping two teams from the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference to shore up its membership and bring it back to six for the fall of 2026. Who does that affect? It affects the SCAC folks, who were on the way to getting an automatic bid to the NCAA playoffs, and we'll hear more about the reaction of the conference when we sit down with conference commissioner Dwayne Hanberry on this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast. Plus ... This edition of the podcast is sponsored by GameStrat: The Most Reliable & Fastest In-Game Video Replay System on The Market. D-III football coaches should click here to learn more. Plus, the two schools that are going back to the ASC are doing so, apparently $4 million richer apiece. But for Schreiner, this represents a big leap up in competition for a program which hasn't even played a game yet! Schreiner isn't set to play a varsity game until 2026, but the Mountaineers' timeline just got altered a bit. We talk with Schreiner's head coach -- Keith Allen, the second coach in this young program's history -- about how that changes things for him, one month into his tenure. And more change in Division III this upcoming season includes, of course, the fact that there won't be nearly as many fifth-year players. That's the case all over now that the extra year of eligibility because of the COVID pandemic has largely worked its way through the system. At Coe, they'll feel the loss of two seniors classes at once, and coach Tyler Staker tells us how they'll adjust and what's expected of the student-athletes who need to step up in 2025. A lot of news happened in the past month aside from the ASC/SCAC as well, and we'll talk through it all, including the upcoming NESCAC presidents' meeting, the new Cortland coach, our soon-to-become Division III schools in Azusa Pacific and St. Francis (Pa.), and which one of those said it will dominate Division III. Plus, with two brand-new football programs coming online in the Conference of New England in the fall, where would the CONE likely rank? Stat of the Week in March? Conference rankings in March? Patrick and Greg cover it all in the latest edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.

We have been hearing about in-office (or in-clinic) surgery suites where we can perform intra-ocular surgery such as cataract surgery without having to go to an ASC (ambulatory surgery center). Decades ago we shifted from performing ocular surgery in hospitals to out-patient surgery centers and today that is where we perform most of our cases. Some surgeons are now predicting that we will make another move, from the ASC to an in-office/in-clinic surgery suite. Our podcast guest today is Dr Parag Majmudar who runs the Chicago Cornea practice and is a Professor at Rush University. He has started Syt Surgical to help ophthalmologists start doing OBS: Office Based Surgery. This is something you must learn about. We feature a new podcast every week on Sundays and they are uploaded to all major podcast services (click links here: Apple, Google, Spotify) for enjoying as you drive to work or exercise. The full video of the podcast is here on CataractCoach as well as on our YouTube channel. Starting now we have sponsorship opportunities available for the top podcast in all of ophthalmology.

Will I dare ask myself if greed is an issue in my life? Will I dare ask myself if greed is an issue in my life? What is keeping me away from God today? Could greed be a problem? There's a French saying: some people are so poor, all they have is money. Today we are talking about replacing greed, and all forms of idolatry, with joy. Greed. What does the Bible say about it?  Proverbs 1:19 - Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors. Proverbs 11:28  -Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf. Greed doesn't give. Greed robs. Greed robs YOU of joy. Make sure to check out the optional-but-oh-so-helpful mini e-book to go along with the series at gospelspice.com/wisdom To start us off, Stephanie challenges us--and herself--with seven questions to self-diagnose if we have unknowingly fallen victim to greed, in one form or another: 1.     Is it MY money or God's? 2.    What would I do differently if I knew I would be dead in a year? 3.     WHY do I want more money? 4.     How do I spend my time? thinking of ways to earn more, or of ways to advance God's Kingdom? 5.     How would I behave if I lost everything? 6.     Am I truly generous? 7.     Do I compromise character to make more money? Then we ponder the link between joy and righteousness and the only true cure against greed. Idolatry is misplaced worship.  Proverbs describes where joy cannot be found. The summary of the entire book of Proverbs can be found in Mark 8:36: "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" That's the definition of unrighteousness. Joy "must be sharply distinguished both from happiness and from pleasure" - CS Lewis Joy is “unsatisfied desire, which is itself more desirable than any other satisfaction.” – CS Lewis again. God promises to give us a joy that surpasses anything this world has to offer. Here's the question: how much of your life to do you spend experiencing this joy, vs looking for joy elsewhere? Psalm 35:27 - Let those who delight in my righteousness shout for joy and be glad and say evermore, “Great is the Lord, who delights in the welfare of his servant!” Haydn, the great musician, was once asked why his church music was so cheerful, and he replied: "When I think upon God, my heart is so full of joy that the notes dance and leap, as it were, from my pen ; and since God has given me a cheerful heart, it will be pardoned me that I serve Him with a cheerful spirit." Joy is the juice of gladness that comes from the fruit of peace, itself springing up from the ground of righteousness – our righteousness in Christ. Matthew Henry defines joy as "a constant delight in God." Who does the work of transforming our hearts to find satisfaction in God? God Himself is the One who transforms our heart to increasingly see Christ as our supreme treasure, even as we seek to find our satisfaction in Him. Cyprian was a third-century North African. As he was anticipating death, he penned these last words to his friend Donatus in 258AD: “It's a bad world, an incredibly bad world. But I have discovered in the midst of it a quiet and holy people who have learned a great secret. They have found a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasure of our sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They are masters of their souls. They have overcome the world. These people are the Christians—and I am one of them.” This is an episode you do not want to miss. We look forward to serving you through it this week! MEET OUR CHARACTER OF THE WEEK  It had been a good year for John. He had managed to obtain a bonus packet worth a small fortune. It would go towards the purchase of his new beach house. Despite this formidable win, it bothered him that others in his industry made more. After all, he deserved every Benjamin, and then some. Sure, his recent promotion had come by a lot of backstabbing. Good for him. The corporate pie was only big enough to share among the most ruthless sharks, and he wants the biggest slice he could get his teeth on. John was determined to keep his focus on multiplying his assets this year, and fast. Today is all that matters. Faster, stronger, better. Last week, in the middle of a heated discussion about a takeover bid that was going to earn him that next nice bundle, John had a stroke. He is now on his hospital bed, slowly recovering. For the first time since he can remember, he has time to think. He is wondering if big money really is all that it is cracked up to be. He loves life with money, but what would money be without life? Hum. Would you say that John has reaped joy from the money he is accumulating? There's a French saying: “some people are so poor, all they have is money.” John is plagued with a self-imposed case of greed. Greed is idolatry: it is valuing something—anything—more than God. It's the “just-a-bit-more” mentality: “if only I had this, then…” The problem is, it is a moving target that never satisfies. Greed is the agony of “never enough.” It makes us ignore or forget God in our pursuit of “more.” Eventually, it slowly brainwashes us to believe that God, like everything else we've tried, is “never enough.” Greed makes us forget about eternity; it replaces our God-given perspective of Heaven with a world-centered focus on today. The change can be so subtle, though, that it is almost never self-diagnosed. Let's be the exception! Whether the Holy Spirit whispers it to us through our time in prayer, or in the study of His word, or through a true friend, let's identify any seed of idolatry in our heart. Greed, like any form of idolatry, never gives. Greed robs. It robs us of joy. The alternative to greed is joy—joy in God Himself. It is joy in our relationship with Him, not for what He can give us, but for the sheet delight of relationship. As C.S. Lewis puts it, joy in God is “unsatisfied desire, which is itself more desirable than any other satisfaction.” This is what I would wish to tell John: God promises to give us a joy that surpasses anything this world has to offer. Scripture challenges us to embrace the universe through the lens of faith. This perspective from Heaven promises us hope and joy. And yet, how often do we look for joy elsewhere? As Christians, we easily acknowledge that God is the almighty, living, ruling Lord of all. He is one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who dwells in heaven, a place of eternal joy. The psalmist says, "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” (Psalm 16:1, NIV). But do we really experience this? Joy has been God's ambition since Day One—literally. God created the universe for His own pleasure and enjoyed doing it. He created planet earth as our breathtaking dwelling place. He fashioned man and woman in His image to glorify Him, to live and rule in peace and joy. The totality of His creation made Him smile and He called it "very good." Then something went very wrong. Iniquity appeared, and earth became a place of sorrow, a troubled segment of the universe where idolatry and greed now reign in humans' hearts. God knew it would unfold so. The plan was already in place: at the appointed time, His Son Jesus came on a pre-planned mission to free the earth from its curse and return its people to an abundant life of hope, joy, and faith. Nothing could be further from puny greed. "For the joy set before Him," Jesus endured the cross. It means that He took our sin from us, accomplished our salvation, died, and rose again to everlasting life in the kingdom of heaven. To those who receive Him as Lord and acknowledge Him as Savior, Jesus Christ promises forgiveness, redemption from sin, a new birth, answers to prayer, the outpouring of His Holy Spirit of love, victory over death, and the everlasting joy of heaven. Jesus lives today at the Father's right hand in resurrected glory and fullness of joy; He has promised to come back for His church and to take us where He is. That is the essence of joy in God, and it is ours to cling to. We invite you to listen to this week's episode of the Gospel Spice Podcast to find out what happened to John, and to unpack the deeper truth of abiding in God's joy today.

In this episode, CJ interviews Lucas Swisher, Co-Lead of Growth Investing and Software Investing at Coatue, to explore how one of tech's most influential investment firms navigates both public and private markets. Lucas explains Coatue's evolution—from hedge fund origins to a powerhouse in venture capital—and how the company balances short-term public market pressures and long-term private investments. The conversation takes a dive deep into data-driven decision-making and how Coatue's proprietary Mosaic platform provides an edge while still leaving room for human intuition. They also discuss the firm's investment philosophy, what differentiates them from other investment companies, and why they choose to have such a concentrated portfolio of investments. Lucas sheds light on how they evaluate the sustainability of a small software company's unit economics, the most important metric that they look at, and other important factors and red flags that often get overlooked when choosing where to invest.If you're looking for an ERP head to NetSuite: https://netsuite.com/metrics and get a customized KPI checklist.—SPONSORS:RightRev automates the revenue recognition process from end to end, gives you real-time insights, and ensures ASC 606 / IFRS 15 compliance—all while closing books faster.

Mark McCaffrey, the CFO of GoDaddy, joins CJ to talk about the evolution of one of the most recognizable brands on the internet from domain registration to a full-service platform for small businesses. Mark sheds light on GoDaddy's role in the entrepreneurial micro-startup ecosystem and how, after 21 years, GoDaddy has grown to 21 million customers. He describes the trends he's identified in the formation of micro businesses, their adoption of AI, their survival rates, and why churn caused by failing small businesses doesn't affect GoDaddy as much as you think it would. He also talks about the metrics that matter, what he tracks, what he discloses, and how he uses this to pursue customers with intent. He also explains how to not lose sight of the micro when the macro is so big, and lists the two things every company in the tech industry needs to do to achieve long-term success. Spoiler: one has to do with customer relationships.If you're looking for an ERP head to NetSuite: https://netsuite.com/metrics and get a customized KPI checklist.—SPONSORS:Planful is a financial performance management platform designed to streamline financial tasks for businesses.

In this episode, Dashlane's David Lapter, a five-time CFO, joins CJ to discuss the challenges of steering high-growth companies. He breaks down the common blind spots that CFOs face, why many double down on their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and how the Eisenhower Matrix helped him tackle his own gaps. David also gives his take on competitors and his philosophy of differentiating your org from theirs without demonizing them, as well as how they can be used for motivation. David shares insights on building high-functioning teams, when teams should move from overlapping responsibilities to more defined roles, how to simplify your OKRs to be more effective, and the nature of the ideal HR-CFO relationship.
