Musician, writer, and filmmaker Rachel Brown on having a life outside of your creative world – The Creative Independent
Musician, writer and filmmaker Rachel Brown discusses how important it is to balance a life outside of artmaking, what it means to work with the right kind of collaborators and how seeking perfection can hold you back

Dynamic #EV charging prices, following the spot market, and available to all - including direct payment with bank or credit card, without ‘fees’. A big ‘Bravo!’ for enercity and EV-Pay for showing what is possible in Germany, despite all the ‘Eichrecht’ hurdles.

Stündlich wechselnde Ladepreise: Enercity und EV-Pay führen dynamische Ad-hoc-Preise ein - electrive.net
Der Strompreis am Spotmarkt schwankt, an Ladesäulen sind heute aber starre Festpreise die Regel. In Hannover ist das bald anders: Enercity und EV-Pay starten

Measurement of photo- and radio-luminescence of thin ThF4 films
We conducted measurements on the photo- and radio-luminescence of thin ThF$_4$ films in both the UV and visible ranges. In the UV range, we found that both luminescences are at a similar level as the internal dark counting noise of the photo-multiplier-tube (PMT). Our results suggest that thin ThF$_4$ crystals could be used as a target for the search for $^{229m}$Th and as a medium for the future nuclear clock. The measurements indicate that using a small and thin ThF$_4$ film can reduce backgr…

According to the following article "The D.C.-based think tank estimates the tariffs will bring in an estimated $1.3 trillion of net new revenue through the end of Trump’s current term "
OK let's run some numbers... And remember, the R party wants to cut households in with a one time $500 check. Remember that number $500.
US population is very roughly 300,000,000, about 3x10**8
$1.3 trillion is 1.3x10**12
So if the R's want to repay us for the tarif…

Trump is bringing in so much revenue from tariffs that it’s seriously reducing the $37 trillion national debt
It's the equivalent of a new payroll tax or a 17% cut in the size of the military, according to a top think tank.

YES!
GDP growth is effectively dead.The motor is broken.
Now it's time to face reality and share the wealth that is so evidently present.
An economy for life!

Blow to Chancellor as UK economy shrank unexpectedly in May

Blow to Chancellor as UK economy shrank unexpectedly in May
The UK economy contracted unexpectedly in May, marking the second month in a row of falling output and heaping further pressure on Chancellor Rachel Reeves. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said gross domestic product (GDP) contracted by 0.1% in May, following a 0.3% drop in April. Most economists had expected the economy to rebound […]

Exact Solutions for Bimodal Distributions under Stochastic Plasma Irradiation in Thin Films
A persistent paradox complicates the study of plasma-irradiated thin films, where bimodal grain distributions and ambiguous scaling laws, roughly shifting between $Φ^{-1/2}$ and $Φ^{-1}$, or a general inverse dependence on plasma flux, are empirical yet remain theoretically unreconciled. Existing models fail to unify noise-driven evolution, defect saturation kinetics, and nucleation-loss balance within a single, self-consistent formalism. This work resolves these discrepancies by developing t…
