Physicist and fusion researcher Eric Lerner presents a sweeping critique of the Big Bang theory and the standard model of cosmology at Demysticon 25. He builds on the foundations of plasma physics and the work of Nobel laureate Hannes Alfvén to outline an alternative cosmological framework rooted in known physical laws—gravity, nuclear fusion, and electromagnetic plasma behavior—rather than hypothetical concepts like dark matter, dark energy, or cosmic inflation. He explores how filamentary plasma structures may account for galaxy formation, how fusion research using dense plasma focus devices parallels cosmic processes, and how the cosmic microwave background may not be relic radiation from a singular origin. Merging astrophysics, plasma cosmology, and energy research, this talk reframes the origin and structure of the universe—and calls into question the prevailing narratives at the heart of modern theoretical physics.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

The new movie Longlegs is a psychological horror film that follows FBI Agent Lee Harker as she investigates a series of mysterious murder-suicides. The victims, all families, leave behind cryptic messages signed "Longlegs." As Harker delves deeper into the case, she uncovers a dark connection to the occult and must confront a terrifying supernatural entity. For cinematographer Andrés Arochi, technical mastery is key, but it's always in service to the story. “It has to come from something inside you that says, 'I want to create this' and then you find a technical way to do it,” he says. “For me it's always trying to be true to that instinct and to whatever feels right, and when you do it, then you're talking about yourself so it's easy to see yourself reflected.” Longlegs is Andrés' first international feature. For the past 12 years, Andrés has been working as a DP in Mexico. With no formal training, he began taking photos of friends in the music scene at age 17. Soon, he began creating projection video displays for concerts and shooting music videos and commercials. This led to work on huge music video and film sets as an on-set photographer, where he met Mexican cinematographers Guillermo Garza (the cinematographer of The Thicket), Alexis Zabé and Galo Olivares. Standing next to these skilled DPs with his camera in hand allowed Andrés to learn alongside them, and he would watch and ask questions, often copying their settings on his camera to experiment. In his spare time, Andrés would go out and practice the new techniques he learned, shooting low-budget films and music videos for friends. Fellow Mexican cinematographer Galo Olivares shot director Osgood Perkins' Gretel and Hansel, and he introduced Andrés to Perkins when the director was looking for a DP for Longlegs. Andrés was drawn to the humor in the Longlegs script, and loved that some comedy existed, even within a horror film. Unlike a lot of cinematographers and directors, Andrés and Perkins didn't create a lookbook or speak in depth about filmic references, such as Silence of the Lambs and Se7en, which were influences for Longlegs. Instead, Andrés says, “When we did talk about movies, it was more movies that had nothing to do with the genre. We talked a lot about My Own Private Idaho, Drugstore Cowboy—a lot of Gus Van Sant 1990s indie America filmmaking. Elephant was an influence on the way we used Steadicam.” One artistic reference Andrés used was The Son of Man by artist René Magritte, a painting showing a man with his face hidden by an apple. Andrés loved the idea of keeping the face of Longlegs the killer hidden at first. Andrés chose to shoot on 35mm film and in a 4:3 aspect ratio for parts of Longlegs that take place in the 1970's. “Using film changes the emotion. Everyone stays focused and shooting on film makes it necessary for everyone to rehearse. So, I decided to shoot 35mm for everything in the 1970s and go with a 4:3 aspect ratio, then we did 2.39 and shot on digital with the Alexa Mini LF for the 1990s.” During the Longlegs shoot, director Osgood Perkins wanted the film crew to use their creativity. “Oz was always encouraging the whole team, like do what you feel, you understand the movie we're doing, just do the best version of you,” says Andrés. “So I was very, very inspired, and that created the space for us to create from our hearts using the best tools we had.” Find Andrés Arochi:http://www.andresarochi.com/selected Instagram: @andresarochi Sponsored by Hot Rod Cameras: https://hotrodcameras.com/ Sponsored by Aputure: https://www.aputure.com/ The Cinematography Podcast website: www.camnoir.com Facebook: @cinepod Instagram: @thecinepod Twitter: @ShortEndz

Iowa's policymakers, providers, and insurers operate within a state comprised of an aging population and large rural areas. According to the Iowa Department of Justice, the state ranks 16th nationally for the number of residents 50-years-old and over. Approximately 18% of Iowa's more-than-three-million residents are 65 years old and older while 23% are under 18 years old. The average life expectancy in Iowa is 78.12—21st highest in the country. In addition, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) considers 77 of the state's 99 counties “rural” based on the amount of open countryside and rural towns. These are only some of the findings in our report titled "Iowa's Healthcare Landscape." The full report explores and presents data on Iowa's healthcare business climate, healthcare expenditures, insurance, and rural healthcare. In doing so, it highlights Iowa's unique healthcare landscape to help public- and private-sector decision makers understand the state's challenges and identify where to focus solutions to improve the state's healthcare system.   On this episode of Common Sense Digest, Host and CSI Chairman Earl Wright dives into all of these issues and more with one of the report's authors, Dr. Chelsea Lensing, CSI's Health & Wellness Fellow. Dr. Lensing shares her insights from writing this report including trends regarding the ages of doctors, access to care, obesity, diabetes and Alzheimer's rates, and much more. This episode paints a very clear picture of the state of affairs of healthcare in Iowa. To read our complete report, you can find it here. Thank you for listening to Common Sense Digest.

Aaron and Danny's friend Stephen Taylor Wehr stops by to chat about ACing and leather working.

Cassy Lensing is a tattooed, dyed haired former wild child.  She's also a devoted mother and board certified Psych Nurse Practitioner.  In this episode, Cassy talks about how getting pregnant at 19 completely changed the course of her life for the better.  She shares her journey from life in small town Iowa working at her dad's gas station to Nurse Practitioner focusing on treating the person instead of just the mental illness.  Cassy explains why the people usually considered society's lost are the most fulfilling folks to treat and how having her own successful practice has allowed her to most effectively help people in her own style and in a less clinical setting.  Cassy is also at the forefront of treatment.  She explains the process of a new treatment that uses extremely controlled Ketamine administration to help clients suffering from chronic treatment resistant depression or acute suicidality that are not responsive to other medications and treatments.  Cassy also takes the time to delve into how grief can be processed in a healthy and personal way.  This episode is extremely informative, personal, and fun.  This is Those Who Do:  Psych Nurse Practitioner w/Cassy Lensing.         Also Available Anywhere You Get Your Pods Casted!

In this episode of “Inside Health Care,” we talk digital transformation with a prominent medical informaticist. Then, we hear a conversation on NCQA's long-term services and supports programs, a.k.a. LTSS, from a long-time accredited managed care supporter.Dr. John Glaser is Executive in Residence at Harvard Medical School Executive Education. Previously he was Chief Executive Officer of Siemens Health Services. He is former Chair of the Global Agenda Council on Digital Health in the World Economic Forum, and former Senior Advisor to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. He's also a member of NCQA's Board of Directors.Dr. Glaser will also be at NCQA's second annual Health Innovation Summit in October 2023. In addition to helping open the Summit, he'll sit on a C-suite panel alongside NCQA President Peggy O'Kane and other industry leaders, discussing, among other things, the transition to a digital health ecosystem.Centene is the largest Medicaid Managed Care Organization in the U.S., as well as the largest carrier on the Health Insurance Marketplace.Nicole McLean is an accreditation manager for Centene, and she spends much of her time working with NCQA on our LTSS programs. But which services are included in LTSS? What could they be? Well, as Nicole will tell you, in order to evaluate which services and supports people need, you first have to learn about...the patient.Later in our Fast Facts segment, we observe August as National Immunization Awareness Month. First, we present some tips from the CDC for providers' offices on how to talk about vaccinations to young patients and their families. We also mention NCQA's HEDIS "Childhood Immunization Status" measure.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 33 Woke works through reframing, and much of the reframing occurs by passing every bit of relevant information through what they refer to as "theoretical lenses." These "lenses" might include Theories like Critical Race Theory or Queer Theory, agendas like Sustainability, or focuses like diversity, equity, and inclusion. This lensing effect distorts perception and comprehension and enables Woke manipulation, like seeing the world in a fun-house mirror. Understanding that all information that has been passed through Woke sources has been "lensed" is crucial to understanding it accurately and engaging it in a smart way. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the approach so you can correct for the Woke lensing effect. Join him to see things more clearly.

Weak Lensing Tomographic Redshift Distribution Inference for the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program three-year shape catalogue by Markus Michael Rau et al. on Wednesday 30 November We present posterior sample redshift distributions for the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program Weak Lensing three-year (HSC Y3) analysis. Using the galaxies' photometry and spatial cross-correlations, we conduct a combined Bayesian Hierarchical Inference of the sample redshift distributions. The spatial cross-correlations are derived using a subsample of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) with accurate redshift information available up to a photometric redshift of $z < 1.2$. We derive the photometry-based constraints using a combination of two empirical techniques calibrated on spectroscopic- and multiband photometric data that covers a spatial subset of the shear catalog. The limited spatial coverage induces a cosmic variance error budget that we include in the inference. Our cross-correlation analysis models the photometric redshift error of the LRGs to correct for systematic biases and statistical uncertainties. We demonstrate consistency between the sample redshift distributions derived using the spatial cross-correlations, the photometry, and the posterior of the combined analysis. Based on this assessment, we recommend conservative priors for sample redshift distributions of tomographic bins used in the three-year cosmological Weak Lensing analyses. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.16516v1

Real-world CMB lensing quadratic estimator power spectrum response by Julien Carron. on Wednesday 30 November I describe a method to estimate response matrices of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) lensing power spectra estimators to the true sky power under realistic conditions. Applicable to all lensing reconstruction pipelines based on quadratic estimators (QE), it uses a small number of Gaussian CMB Monte-Carlos and specially designed QE's in order to obtain sufficiently accurate matrices with little computational effort. This method may be used to improve the modelling of CMB lensing band-powers by incorporating at least some of the non-idealities encountered in CMB lensing reconstruction. These non-idealities always include masking, and often inhomogeneous filtering, either in the harmonic domain or pixel space. I obtain these matrices for Planck latest lensing reconstructions, and then show that the residual couplings induced by masking explain very well the residual multiplicative bias seen on the Planck simulations, removing the need for an empirical correction. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.05449v2

Sensitivity of strong lensing observations to dark matter substructure: a case study with Euclid by Conor M. O'Riordan et al. on Wednesday 30 November We introduce a machine learning method for estimating the sensitivity of strong lens observations to dark matter subhaloes in the lens. Our training data include elliptical power-law lenses, Hubble Deep Field sources, external shear, and noise and PSF for the Euclid VIS instrument. We set the concentration of the subhaloes using a $v_mathrm{max}$-$r_mathrm{max}$ relation. We then estimate the dark matter subhalo sensitivity in $16{,}000$ simulated strong lens observations with depth and resolution resembling Euclid VIS images. We find that, with a $3sigma$ detection threshold, $2.35$ per cent of pixels inside twice the Einstein radius are sensitive to subhaloes with a mass $M_mathrm{max}leq 10^{10}M_odot$, $0.03$ per cent are sensitive to $M_mathrm{max}leq 10^{9}M_odot$, and, the limit of sensitivity is found to be $M_mathrm{max}=10^{8.8pm0.2}M_odot$. Using our sensitivity maps and assuming CDM, we estimate that Euclid-like lenses will yield $1.43^{+0.14}_{-0.11}[f_mathrm{sub}^{-1}]$ detectable subhaloes per lens in the entire sample, but this increases to $35.6^{+0.9}_{-0.9}[f_mathrm{sub}^{-1}]$ per lens in the most sensitive lenses. Estimates are given in units of the inverse of the substructure mass fraction $f_mathrm{sub}^{-1}$. Assuming $f_mathrm{sub}=0.01$, one in every $70$ lenses in general should yield a detection, or one in every $sim$ three lenses in the most sensitive sample. From $170,000$ new strong lenses detected by Euclid, we expect $sim 2500$ new subhalo detections. We find that the expected number of detectable subhaloes in warm dark matter models only changes relative to cold dark matter for models which have already been ruled out, i.e., those with half-mode masses $M_mathrm{hm}>10^8M_odot$. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.15679v1

  We're very pleased to welcome back Karen from The Walking DeadCast and Wayne from The Packers Fan Podcast to discuss Season 2 of 'The Leftovers'. Questions to consider: What did you think of this dramatic departure in location and characters for Season 2 Would you want to live in Jarden/Miracle? Favorite Scenes? Favorite Character? How about the brilliant music score, and repeated themes, in both seasons? Is Patti really gone? Predictions for Season 3? Who is David Burton? What's the connection to Australia? Virgil (Shoot Patti) vs. Kevin Sr. (throw Patti down the well), how are Virgil and Kevin Sr. related? Predictions for Season 3? “While worldwide flooding is expected, we should be taking off before the rain begins,” “In the event of cabin decompression, place your oxygen masks over your mouths as we all prepare to take our last breaths. Please be sure to keep your seatbelt fastened, as everything you know and love will soon be gone. Flight Attendants: Please prepare for Final Departure”   Rem's Points: Jarden seems to have become a beneficiary and a hostage to the Departure (They derive a big benefit from Tourism, but are now a walled off park where people tend to repeat even mundane events, thinking they're preventing another departure) (When the prisoner is released, the jailer also goes free)   Also, if Evi's disappearance is really a departure, would that mean that Jarden was no longer saved?   Bold moves, the intro at Axis Munde, introducing the Murphy's in a new location Foreshadowing of David Burton, Evie and the girls were secretly part of the GR Lori goes from being part of the GR to trying to destroy them Seems to be a power triad between Patti, Virgil and Kevin Sr., but who really has the power?   Extro For a real deep dive into each episode, I suggest you subscribe to Jim and A-Ron's Podcast called ‘Following the Leftovers' over on the Bald Move Network.  They go into much more depth and detail on each episode, and you've still got time to go through their podcast before Season 3 of The Leftovers starts on Sunday, April 16th.
