Venture Capital: Lunar Energy Raises $300M To “Remove The Use Of Fossil Fuels From Every Home”
With this funding, Lunar Energy has emerged from stealth.
Lunar Energy, a startup aiming to transform how we power our homes by building an ecosystem of all-electric products starting with a next-generation home battery system, announced its raise of $ 300 million over two rounds by Sunrun (NASDAQ: RUN), the leading American residential solar and battery storage provider, and South Korea’s SK Group (KRX: 034730). (CISION PR NEWSWIRE)
In an eventful two years since its founding in August 2020 by Kunal Girotra, a former Tesla Energy executive, Lunar Energy has raised $300 million, built a new generation home battery system, and acquired Moixa, a virtual power plant software company. During this time it has built a team of about 250 employees globally working from its California and London offices.
Lunar turns homeowners into active members of the energy economy by giving them the freedom to generate, store and control their own clean energy and share it with their communities.
“More than ever, we need rapid adoption of renewable energy solutions across all sectors to mitigate climate change. Lunar Energy was founded to build affordable hardware and software products for the residential sector to help homeowners generate, store and consume 100% clean energy and remove the usage of fossil fuels from every home,” said Kunal Girotra, Founder and CEO of Lunar Energy.
“The first offering of our product ecosystem is a next-generation home battery system. It’s the first step towards our mission to electrify all homes and connect communities to form clean, resilient virtual power plants—freeing us from power outages, rising energy costs and harmful emissions,” Girotra added.
“From our early patents in smart homes to managing the world’s largest single fleet of home batteries, our Gridshare software has led the industry for more than 10 years and significantly advanced smart home charging,” said Simon Daniel, CEO and co-founder of Moixa.

Having a lot of time during the last Corona-months, our german community had some small meetings and many online games and tournaments including the last two IDCs we organized (thanks to @Halfar for taking the lead in the organization!). During this time I rebuilt nearly all my decks and brought them (back) into shape.
I guess pretty much all cards and their functions used in those decks are well known, so I think it’s only necessary to mention those cards or techs which I think aren’t played that often (especially in our german meta) or aren’t seen in other decks.
Check them out and let me know what you think of them!
All those decks are constructed on the basis of our german meta (hardcore discard and draw based, Bombazar (un-)officially banned, no maximum card limit and no further restrictions), so cards like Corile, Mist Rias, Swap, Slash Charger and Bolly are cards that can be played four times.
LWD Marino-Control (45)
2x Holy Awe
1x Thrash Crawler
2x Slash Charger
1x Corpse Charger
2x Lost Soul
Multi (8 )
3x Miraculous Snare
Definitely one of my strongest and most consistent decks. I really like the balance between Light and Darkness (both 16 cards… the OCD is way too high) and the small amount of Water. Only those four Marinos and one Thrash Crawler as a mana recycle option to get back Craze or Bluum or the reuse the Chargers.
As in my GRUB I always play a split between Corpse Charger and Morbid (unless Carnival is more useful in race based decks). I like both advantages to gain mana with Corpse or get back two creatures with Morbid.
Slash Charger to get rid of important enemy cards, e.g. in mana burn or combo deck types and to get faster to the lost soul in mirror matches than my opp. Miraculous Snare for an early removal (especially against mana burn cards like Grash) and ofc Marino to get a draw three in almost 90 % of all cases. I played three of Loco and Clamp a long time, but due to our meta changing to more handguard cards, I decided to max out Loco and cut Clamp down to two. Four Craze to have high chance to play her and Bluum ofc, because it is Bluum.
A playset of Craze is the most important core in this deck – two or three are definitely too little. It’s your key card to gain field control and swing for game. Although, the amount of mono blue cards is as small as possible to get a maximum draw with Marino (and in 90 % of all cases I get a draw three). Balanced, strong and consistent deck with a lot of draw and discard and six big finishers.

Customs x Notting Hill Carnival
Amplify help give Carnival that Converse touch...
Amplify were challenged to launch Converse’s new custom sneaker that allows consumers to customise their sneakers online, using Notting Hill Carnival as a disruptive brand moment.
Notting Hill is a staple in the London social calendar. We didn’t want to pull people away from an experience they live and breathe, instead we wanted to facilitate a better experience by staying authentic and true to the essence of carnival.
To keep the essence of carnival and create a hot ticket event that allows us to tell product stories and tactically engage key influencers.
Custom Converse X Notting Hill Carnival
We created an event that used a key moment in the London’s social calendar to help launch the new Converse Custom platform and provided the hot ticket Notting Hill Carnival party. The all-female line up, including Lady Leshurr, was inspired by Notting Hill. The setting also helped introduce the custom sneaker platform as two of the artists created their own sneaker design pre-event to be seeded to influencers.
Their designs were used to authentically influence the look and feel of the space and we added Jamaican food and rum cocktails into the mix for good measure. With its own private viewing platform over the carnival route, the space gave guests a VIP experience whilst immersing them in everything carnival has to offer. Meanwhile, visually impactful, shareable moments were created throughout the event to encourage guests to share on their social channels. These included an Instagram area with carnival décor and props, as well as a custom Converse Snapchat filter.

Symptoms of severe zinc deficiency include impaired growth and development, delayed sexual maturity, skin rashes, chronic diarrhea, impaired wound healing, and behavioral issues Milder forms of zinc deficiency are more common, especially in children in developing countries where diets are often lacking in important nutrients.
It is estimated that around 2 billion people worldwide are deficient in zinc due to inadequate dietary intake 7. Since zinc deficiency impairs your immune system — increasing the chances of infection — zinc deficiency is thought to cause overdeaths in children under 5 every year Those at risk of zinc deficiency include 27 :.
Symptoms of mild zinc deficiency include diarrhea, decreased immunity, thinning hair, impaired taste or smell, dry skin, fertility issues, and impaired wound healing 7 Thus, you may still be deficient even if tests indicate normal levels. Doctors consider other risk factors — such as poor dietary intake and genetics — alongside blood results when determining whether you need supplements Risk factors for zinc deficiency include insufficient dietary intake, poor absorption, alcoholism, genetic mutations, and old age.
Many animal and plant foods are naturally rich in zinc, making it easy for most people to consume adequate amounts. Foods highest in zinc include 30 :. Animal products, such as meat and shellfish, contain high amounts of zinc in a form that your body easily absorbs.
Keep in mind that zinc found in plant-based sources like legumes and whole grains is absorbed less efficiently because of other plant compounds that inhibit absorption While many foods are naturally high in zinc, certain foods — such as ready-to-eat breakfast cereals and snack bars — are fortified with zinc Zinc occurs naturally in foods like shellfish, meat, poultry, and dairy, and is added to other foods, such as breakfast cereals and snack bars.
Just as a deficiency in zinc can cause health complications, excessive intake can also lead to negative side effects. The most common cause of zinc toxicity is too much supplemental zinc, which can cause both acute and chronic symptoms Symptoms of toxicity include 33 :.
For example, chronic high zinc ingestion can interfere with your absorption of copper and iron. Reductions in copper levels have even been reported in people consuming only moderately high doses of zinc — 60 mg per day — for 10 weeks In order to avoid overconsumption, stay away from high dose zinc supplements unless recommended by a doctor.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance RDA is 11 mg for adult males and 8 mg for adult females 1. People who are pregnant and breastfeeding should consume 11 and 12 mg per day, respectively Unless a medical condition is hindering absorption, you should easily reach the RDA for zinc through diet alone.
However, people with certain dietary restrictions, including vegans and vegetarians, may have difficulty meeting their needs through diet alone 1. The tolerable upper level for zinc is 40 mg per day.
However, this does not apply to people with zinc deficiencies, who may need to take high dose supplements 1. If you take supplementschoose absorbable forms such as zinc citrate or zinc gluconate rather than zinc oxide, which is poorly absorbed Zinc toxicity may cause diarrhea, headache, abdominal cramps, and reduced immunity.
Most people can obtain their daily dose of zinc through diet alone. Zinc is needed for DNA synthesis, immune function, metabolismand growth. Most people meet the RDA of 11 mg for males and 8 mg for females through dietbut older adults, those following restrictive diets, and people with conditions that inhibit zinc absorption may need to supplement.

In addition to supporting the immune system, zinc is required for the activity of more than enzymes. Those enzymes aid with a range of essential aspects of your health, like:.
Zinc also supports brain health. Per a review published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences , changes in the brain's zinc balance might affect age-related cognitive decline, depression, and Alzheimer's disease.
Another of zinc's significant roles is helping the body heal. Zinc aids with cell membrane repair, cell growth, and the maintenance of healthy skin. Zinc-dependent proteins play fundamental roles within cells, including in DNA repair, according to a review published in the journal Nutrients.
Zinc is readily found in both animal and plant-based foods. Some of the top animal sources include:. And even vegetarians and vegans can eat enough zinc.
Adult vegetarians have zinc intakes within the normal range. In addition, an adult's body can adapt to a vegetarian diet in ways that help optimize zinc status, including increased absorption and retention of zinc. Some plant sources of zinc include:. You can easily obtain the daily recommended value of zinc through a normal, balanced diet.
The daily recommended values for zinc depend on the person, including:. A zinc deficiency may manifest itself in several ways. For instance, symptoms may include skin problems and impaired wound healing, per the Nutrients review. Also, too little zinc can negatively impact your senses and appetite.
Zinc deficiency's side effects involve diminished taste, smell, and poor appetite. Studies have also shown that zinc deficiency increases cell damage caused by free radicals.
Free radicals are harmful substances that increase your risk of premature aging and chronic diseases. According to a study published in Frontiers in Nutrition , zinc reduces blood markers for inflammation, a known trigger of premature aging and chronic diseases.
Risk factors for zinc deficiency include:. If you meet any of those risk factors, your healthcare provider may follow up with questions about your symptoms or order testing.
If a healthcare provider recommends zinc supplements, you can work with them to select the best form and dose for you. And since zinc can interact with certain medications, medical conditions, and other supplements, you might need to adjust the quantity.
Numerous zinc supplements include zinc gluconate, picolinate, acetate, and citrate. Zinc also exists in various forms, from lozenges and capsules to drops. Still, the NIH does not recommend getting your daily recommended value of zinc by taking supplements.
Instead, try to meet your zinc requirements through your diet. Additionally, obtaining your zinc through food can broaden your overall nutrient intake. Zinc-containing foods offer other vital nutrients, including protein, fiber , vitamins and minerals, and health-protective antioxidants.
Getting your zinc solely through your diet also reduces the potential risks of taking too much zinc in supplement form. The tolerable Upper Intake Level UL for zinc, which includes both foods and supplements combined, is 40 milligrams per day for all adults 19 and older.
A long-term intake above that amount increases your risk of adverse health effects unless your healthcare provider prescribes zinc supplements and monitors for a specific medical condition.
Excess zinc can trigger adverse effects, including:. So, keep in mind that more zinc isn't necessarily better. If your healthcare provider recommends a zinc supplement, ask about the dose, form, frequency, length of use, and when and how to take it.
Due to zinc's impact on immunity, many people turn to the mineral for the short term to combat common colds. But the research on zinc's effect on the common cold has been mixed. For example, a study published in in Open Forum Infectious Diseases found that people with a common cold who took zinc lozenges recovered faster than those who did not.
However, another study published in Pharmacology and Therapeutics found that zinc acetate lozenges had no impact on the recovery rate of people with a common cold. So, if you try zinc when you feel a cold coming on, consult your healthcare provider about the form, dose, and length of use.
Zinc is one of the essential nutrients for optimal wellness, and striking the right balance is vital for reaping its benefits.
So, focus on food sources to benefit from zinc without going overboard. If you're an omnivore, aim for various plant and animal foods. And if you're plant-based , zero in on top plant sources and incorporate them often.
If you're concerned about not getting enough zinc from your regular diet due to health issues, food preferences, or dietary restrictions, talk to a healthcare provider about whether zinc supplements might be appropriate. National Institutes of Health NIH.

California law mandates the collection of a fee in the amount of $0 per $1,000 of tuition rounded to the nearest thousand to be paid to the state's tuition recovery fund in the event of school closure. The fee is charged to California residents only. The following disclosure applies only to those students.
California Student Tuition Recovery Fund – CA Residents Only
The State of California created the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic losses suffered by students in educational programs who are California residents, or are enrolled in a residency program attending certain schools regulated by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education.
You may be eligible for STRF if you are a California resident or are enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following:
- The school closed before the course of instruction was completed.
- The school's failure to pay refunds or charges on behalf of a student to a third party for license fees or any other purpose, or to provide equipment or materials for which a charge was collected within 180 days before the closure of the school.
- The school's failure to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federally guaranteed student loan program as required by law or to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the school prior to closure in excess of tuition and other costs.
- There was a material failure to comply with the Act or this Division within 30 days before the school closed or, if the material failure began earlier than 30 days prior to closure, the period determined by the Bureau.
- An inability after diligent efforts to prosecute, prove, and collect on a judgment against the institution for a violation of the Act.
However, no claim can be paid to any student without social security number or a taxpayer identification number.
You must pay the state-imposed assessment for the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) if all of the following applies to you:
- You are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition either by cash, guaranteed student loans, or personal loans; and
- Your total charges are not paid by any third-party payer such as an employer, government program or other payer unless you have a separate agreement to repay the third party.
You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if either of the following applies:
- You are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program; or
- Your total charges are paid by a third party, such as an employer, government program or other payer, and you have no separate agreement to repay the third party.

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. — Higher gas prices are spurring Americans to eat at home more frequently, according to a NPD Group report. Coinciding with a rise in gas prices, which reached an all-time high in May at $3.19 per gallon, is a slow-down in per capita visits to restaurants. Consumers also report going out to eat less, citing cheaper prices as the primary driver of at-home eating. One-quarter of consumers are visiting quick-service restaurants less frequently and one-third of consumers say they are visiting casual dining and family-style restaurants less often, according to NPD Group data. Forty-two percent of people who are visiting quick-service restaurants less now eat at home more, while half of consumers who went to casual dining and family-style restaurants less say they’re eating at home more.

Concept art from Justice League: Mortal reveals the best look yet at Armie Hammer’s Batman suit.
One of the most fascinating “lost” comic book movies is George Miller’s Justice League: Mortal, which would have seen Armie Hammer as Batman. Armie Hammer has spoken about trying on the costume while preparing for the film, saying “it was like an exoskeleton suit.” But now fans have got a glimpse of what might’ve been from Ryan Unicomb, backing up part of Armie Hammer’s description of the Justice League: Mortal Batman suit.
This concept never made it past the “discovery stage, ” but Unicomb mentions that his design featured an exoskeleton so that even if Armie Hammer’s Batman was injured underneath, he could still patrol as the Caped Crusader. There’s also a padded collar that would’ve protected Batman’s neck in Justice League: Mortal. It’s disappointing that Armie Hammer never got his chance to bring Batman to the screen in Justice League: Mortal, but it’s fascinating to imagine what might’ve been every time new information gets out. Take a look at the Batman concept art below.
What do you think? Do you like Armie Hammer’s Batman costume for Justice League: Mortal? Let us know in the comments section!
As far as film adaptations go, Batman will next appear in the Matt Reeves movie The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, which is rumored to involve multiple antagonists. An alternate version of Bruce Wayne will appear in this October’s Joker, portrayed by child actor Dante Pereira-Olson.
In addition to Armie Hammer as Batman, Justice League: Mortal would have also featured D.J. Cotrona as Superman, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, Common as Green Lantern, Santiago Cabrera as Aquaman, Adam Brody as The Flash, Hugh Keays-Byrne as Martian Manhunter, Jay Baruchel as Maxwell Lord and Teresa Palmer as Talia Al Ghul. Late Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin was also on board as Wally West.
A Justice League project was finally brought to the big screen by Zack Snyder years later. Here’s the official synopsis for that movie:
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Directed by Zack Snyder, Justice League stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, Ray Fisher, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, J. K. Simmons, and Ciarán Hinds.

Here is the synopsis for the show:
“Doom Patrol will find the reluctant heroes in a place they never expected to be, called to action by Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse, but with a warning that is hard to ignore: their lives will never, ever be the same.”
Doom Patrol will premiere on February 15, 2019 exclusively on DC Universe.

Thorndown Wood Paint on TV and in Press
In July a brand new garden makeover series began on channel 5 called “The Great Gardening Challenge”. Episode 3 aired on 16th July and featured a RAL Design colour made especially for garden designer Manoj Malde to use in their vibrant design for the Care for Veterans Home in Worthing.
Thorndown Wood Paint has also featured in three episodes of ITV1’s hit series “Love Your Garden” with Alan Titchmarsh in 2018, and will be featured again in the 2019 series, due to hit the screens on Tuesday 27th August.
The addition of a greenhouse in the garden is a joyous occasion. With so many beautiful designs available now, a greenhouse doesn’t have to be purely functional.

A beautifully elegant entrance has been created at this city town house of a customer. Using Bilberry Blue Wood Paint, imagination and a flair for design, the entrance to Sara’s home is filled with practical storage and head-turning tricks.

Mix Your Own Colours
Thorndown paints are really easy to mix together so if you can’t find the right colour on our colour chart and don’t fancy one of the RAL colours, create your own bespoke shade.
Naomi Slade, prolific garden journalist, author and designer, is bringing to life her own small urban city garden which started as an unprepossessing slope of clay and concrete. After plenty of ground work and a fair bit of planting she has now started to focus on the garden structures, starting with the fence and potting shed.
Before climbers shot into action Naomi painted her fence in Wispy Willow to create a bright, fresh boundary that would frame her garden and provide a lovely backdrop to her planting.
Studying the Wood Paint colour chart for hours, Naomi couldn’t quite find the shade she really wanted. Reed Green was close but she wanted more of a sea green. To create the right shade she picked Peregrine Blue to add the right hue, then experimented by mixing different ratios of Peregrine Blue into the Reed Green. Being creative she used clean old yoghurt pots to mix together paint using an old plastic medicine spoon to measure out 5ml and 2.5ml quantities.
Landscape & Garden Designers use colour in their garden designs not only in planting, but in garden structures. Here Bob Richmond-Watson shows us how to make a garden look larger by painting fencing in a dark colour.
Although we sell predominantly online direct to our customers, we are happy to be working with some lovely stockists, resellers and partners that use, sell and promote our paints.
We will be sharing profiles and pictures from some of our stockists and partners throughout the year in our newsletter and on the Stockist and Partner Profiles page.
This month we start with Middlecombe Nursery and Taunton Sheds & Toys.
Organic gardening is a great lifestyle choice and one supported by so many throughout the nation. Compost heaps are an easy way to keep your garden healthy, and don’t have to be an eyesore.
Don’t Stone the Crows! Crow Woes
Birds bring great delight and are a vital part of our world, but sometimes they can be a bit of a nuisance. Susan called us after being plagued by crows attacking her windows and found that Peelable Glass Paint was the perfect solution to her woes.
A customer called having experienced increasingly aggressive behaviour from crows attacking their house windows. The behaviour was disruptive (mess, being woken with the noise etc.) and various attempts to stop them had proved unsuccessful. They were at the stage of seriously considering having them destroyed.
Fortunately they stumbled across Thorndowns website and following a constructive conversation with an advisor, purchased opaque peelable paint. They slapped it onto the lower window panes as the crows had been targeting them by sitting on the exterior windowsill and attacking the glass from there.
The solution was instant and the crows have not returned since the Limestone Peelable Glass Paint was put on! It has been a comprehensive, simple and attractive solution. The crows are no longer troubled by their reflections and are now living in peaceful harmony.
This Forest Mini Greenhouse is the perfect solution for growing in small spaces. Painted in Reed Green Wood Paint it’s also a beautiful feature that compliments planting in the garden & reflects the green life growing inside.
The Country Garden Festival
From 14th to 16th June Thorndown Paints camped out at The Bishop’s Palace in Wells, Somerset for this great garden festival full of plants, gifts, produce and top speakers from the garden world.
Talks were given by Chris Beardshaw, Tamsin Westhorpe and Anne Swithinbank, along with full access to the Palace and impressive gardens. It was great to meet so many lovely locals and garden enthusiasts from all over the country and abroad.
Toby’s Garden Festival May 2019
Along with a fantastic collection of nurseries, arts & crafts stalls, food and drink, and of course, paint, there were some fab celebrity speakers. Joe Swift, Frances Tophill and John Challis gave talks over the two day festival to packed audiences.
It was lovely spending time at such a beautiful venue and proved to be a brilliant garden festival bathed in sunshine all weekend!
Middlecombe Nursery Landscape Forum – Friday 8 March
On Friday 8th March, Middlecombe Nursery put on a Landscape Forum at their plant nursery in Congresbury, just outside Bristol.
There were talks from LandscapePlus, Middlecombe, Avon Wildlife Trust, and us, giving a short talk on Thorndown paints. The afternoon was wrapped up with amazing homemade pizza cooked in their pizza oven with sourdough bases made by their in-house chef.
The afternoon was well attended by landscape designers and gardeners from across the county.
It was great to be part of such an interesting and informative event, and the pizzas were incredible!
Wake Up Wells – Glass Painting Workshop
We supplied Peelable Glass Paint, art materials and boxes of old glass jars, although some brought along their own glass items to paint. One talented lady brought a sheet of glass that was destined for the recycling bin and turned it into a piece of art with our glass paint. With a paint brush and imagination she re-created an impressive countryside scene.
Another lady brought in a lantern and created a beautiful stained glass effect by first painting black lead lines in traditional diamond patterning using a card template. Once she had finished painting on all of the lines the first panel was dry so she could then start filling in the diamonds with a variety of translucent Peelable Glass Paint colours.
There was a great mix of all ages that came up with some great designs. One thing I love about these workshops is seeing people experiment with different techniques and this session was no exception. One lady perfected a marbling technique that got others hooked on the process. Once you get the hang of it this is a very simple but effective way of creating some great pieces that sit up against fine pieces of glass art. As soon as we can we will create a video to demonstrate the process and share it with you.
Peelable Glass Paint is water-based, has minimal VOC and low odour, and is non-toxic, making it a great paint to work with no matter what the project.
If you need any inspiration then head to the Projects page for ideas and tips.
Christmas Windows with Peelable Glass Paint
Christmas comes but once a year so make the most of it and decorate like crazy!

Pretty in Pink at RHS Hampton Court Flower Show
RHS Hampton Court Flower Show is one of my favourite RHS shows. Set in a beautiful location it attracts some of the best garden designers and exhibitors, placed in a relaxed atmosphere where you can happily meander and explore for hours.
Although we can’t get to Hampton Court Flower Show this year our Wood Paint has, on the stand of Floyd’s Clematis & Climbers, a clematis specialist and RHS regular award-winner.
Marcel teamed up with Forest Garden to create his display stand, using their Toulouse Planters and Kendal Square Planter Sets to form the structural surround. Painted with our very own Cheddar Pink Wood Paint, Marcel’s clematis look stunning and are sure to be a hit so if you’re lucky enough to be going, make sure to visit him!
Thorndown Wood Paint hits Chelsea
When Forest approached us to see if we’d like to supply some wood paint for Chelsea Flower Show, the answer was a very quick yes! On a number of occasions Forest have supplied garden products for the HTA (Horticultural Trades Association) and this year one of the star features in the HTA garden was the Forest Ultima Pergola sitting alongside one of their gazebos.
The wonderfully talented designer Chris Collins had been enlisted and created something pretty special. He used Yew Green Wood Paint on the pergola and we love the way that the planting and accessories work beautifully with the naturally deep and naturally intense Yew Green colour. Yew Green is one of those colours that just takes you away into a magical forest landscape or into a classical heritage home of pure class and distinction.
It looked beautiful and although we didn’t manage to escape to Chelsea this year, a piece of us went instead and did us proud. We hope you love this colour as much as we do.
Forest Garden paint up with Purple Rain
The brilliant UK manufacturers of quality garden furniture, buildings and decorative products, Forest, teamed up with Thorndown to decorate one of their great new products.
We created our version of Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2018, Ultra-Violet and dubbed it Purple Rain in homage to the musical genius that recently departed our mortal plane. Forest painted their Plant Ladder Display in Purple Rain, transforming it into a striking and attractive garden feature.
Bishop’s Palace English Garden Festival
Thanks to all who came to see us at the beautiful Bishop’s Palace in Wells, Somerset where we exhibited our range of products at the English Garden Festival from Friday 22 June to Sunday 26 June. This festival is one I always look forward, surrounded by the stunning gardens and amazing architecture of the Palace in the heart of the historic city of Wells. A day of gardening fun, top guest speakers and the best shopping in the city and at the festival!
Open Farm Sunday at Middlewick
On Sunday 10th June we went to Middlewick Farm in Glastonbury taking part in Open Farm Sunday, the farming industry’s national open day. We showed off our great range of Wood Paint and ran fun crafty workshop sessions with our Peelable Glass Paint.
Kids (and adults) were able to play with Thorndown Peelable Glass Paint, decorating mirrors and turning old jam jars into wonderful creations to take home.
It was a great day with lots of other local stallholders, entertainment, birds of prey, face painting and general farm fun. Middlewick Farm and the stall holders raised a lot of money for local Glastonbury charity, Children’s World.
Toby’s Garden Festival at Powderham Castle
Despite the rain we had a great time at Toby’s GardenFest at Powderham Castle. Toby and his team worked valiantly to battle the mud and hordes of gardeners shrugged off the rain to enjoy the show. Thank you to everyone who came and visited us and don’t forget to use your Show Discount Vouchers!

The currant bud mite (Cecidophyopsis ribis) is a microscopic four-legged insect that belongs to the genus Cecidophyopsis of the family Eriophyidae (Trombidiformes). This harmful insect is widespread in Asia, Europe and Australia. It can be found in those areas where gooseberries or currants grow.
The insect injures the kidneys, due to which the leaf mass of the shrub is significantly reduced, and the development of its stems is noticeably impaired. In addition, this pest is a carrier of a viral disease called "terry". And he is also the cause of the degeneration of the generative organs, because of which the shrub stops forming berries.
Features of the kidney mite
The kidney mite has a white worm-shaped body. Males reach 0.15 mm in length, females are larger - about 0.3 mm. The head ends with a mouth apparatus that is outwardly similar to a wedge-shaped proboscis. The pest has 2 pairs of legs, they have feathery bristles. Elongated oval larvae are light in color. A kidney mite can harm gooseberries and black currants, but it can also settle on white and red currants. For the winter, ticks are taken into the kidneys. At the same time, one kidney can contain 3-8 thousand individuals, and in large kidneys - 8-30 thousand individuals. Those buds, inside which there are pests, look more prominent and larger. In early spring, they grow to the size of a pea and outwardly become similar to small cabbage heads, while their deformed leaves stick out. The same kidneys, where there are not too many pests, cannot be distinguished from healthy ones, this is the main difficulty in the fight against kidney mites.
The spread of pests occurs with the wind, along with seedlings, thanks to birds and various insects. The lifespan of a female is 20–45 days, while one can lay 5–100 eggs. The duration of development of eggs is 7–15 days, and the development of larvae is 7–30 days. The appearance of the first generation of ticks is observed at the very end of flowering of currant bushes. During one season, the tick is able to give 5-6 generations of offspring: 2 in the spring and 3 in the summer-autumn period.
Kidney mite on currant
In order to protect your garden from kidney mites, you must not forget about preventive measures. When purchasing seedlings, conduct a thorough examination of their buds to be sure that you do not bring a colony of harmful insects with them. Phytoncides, which are contained in garlic and onions, are able to scare off the pest, so these crops are recommended to be planted between the rows of currants. However, in this case, the onion or garlic is not dug up in the fall, but left in the ground for the winter.
If you decide to propagate a currant bush by cutting, then cut it off from a plant that is completely healthy. Experienced gardeners recommend disinfecting the cuttings; for this, they are placed in warm water (about 45 degrees) for a quarter of an hour, to which indolylbutyric acid is preliminarily added (0.5 grams of the product per bucket of water).
If there are very few buds on the bush in which the tick lives, then they can be cut off with your hands and destroyed by fire. In the event that the pest is found in almost every bud, then the above-ground part of such a shrub is cut down and destroyed, and the stump that remains in the ground is spud. After a while, new stems will grow. In order to avoid such pruning, it is recommended to carry out a thorough examination of each bush every year in spring, during which all suspicious-looking buds are cut off and burned.

In order to get rid of the kidney mite, the fight against it must be started already in the spring. To do this, before sap flow begins, currant bushes and the surface of the soil near them are sprayed with a solution of Nitrafen (for 1 liter of water 30 grams) in order to prevent it. As soon as inflorescences and foliage begin to form, they carry out 3 treatments of currants with a break of 7 days, for this they use biological pesticides from harmful insects, for example: Bitoxibacillin, Aktofit or Fitoverm. These spraying will be effective only if the air outside is warmed up to 5 degrees and above. If the weather is colder or cloudy, then it is recommended to postpone the treatment.
While the pests will move from the affected kidneys to the healthy ones, they can be destroyed by spraying the bush with ISO (lime-sulfur broth), Karbofos or another agent that contains sulfur. During the exposure of the buds, the bushes are sprayed with a solution of ISO (2%) for the first time. Re-processing is carried out after 10-12 days or immediately, as the currants fade, but in this case the solution should be one percent. In the same way and at the same time, the bushes can be sprayed with a solution of colloidal sulfur (10 grams of the product per 1 liter of water). The following acaricidal preparations can also be used to kill the tick: Endidor, Vertimek, Oberon, Nissoran, Apollo or Neoron. When spraying, try to keep each bud and branch of the currant bush well wet with the solution.
Gooseberry kidney mite
Since the gooseberry is a close relative of the currant, the kidney mite also settles on it. Both the preventive measures and the chemical preparations used in the fight against insects are the same as in the cultivation of currants, namely: inspect the seedlings before buying, at the beginning of spring, check all the buds on the bush, cut off and destroy those of them that aroused suspicion, plant garlic and onions between rows, and in case of total defeat by a pest, cut and burn all the stems. As for pesticides, the same means and at the same time can be used to process gooseberries as for spraying currant bushes.

If there are few pests on the shrub, then you can try to get rid of them using folk remedies, for example:
- Hot water... In early spring, before the buds swell, spill the bushes with quick circular motions with hot water (about 80 degrees), they must first be tied up. The result of this procedure will be the death of pests, as well as strengthening the immune system of the bush to powdery mildew and other diseases. It is also noticed that bushes doused with hot water give a richer harvest. In the spring, it is sometimes impossible to understand whether the sap flow has begun or not, which is why many gardeners carry out such processing in the fall at the end of the leaf fall, since the buds affected by the pest can be recognized already in the last summer days.
- Garlic water... Grind 0.2 kg of garlic and combine the resulting mass with a bucket of water. The infusion will be ready after a couple of hours, it will only be necessary to strain it and you can start processing. Instead, you can combine 150 grams of garlic husks with a bucket of hot water. Within 24 hours the infusion will be ready for use.
- Mustard infusion... Dissolve 0.2 kg of dry mustard powder in a bucket of water. Stir everything well and leave for 12 hours. Treat the plants with a strained infusion.
- Dandelion infusion... Place 50 grams of fresh foliage and 200 grams of dandelion roots in a bucket of water. The product will be ready for use in a few hours.
- Tea brewing... This tool is used to get rid of mites that are on the cuttings. Add 50 grams of tea to 25 liters of freshly boiled water. After 24 hours, cuttings are immersed in the resulting infusion, which are taken out after 3-4 hours.
Kidney mite resistant currant varieties
A large number of gardeners know a way to forget forever about what a bud mite is. To do this, they plant in their garden those varieties of currants that are resistant to this pest. For instance:
- Curiosity... This self-fertile early ripening variety has high yields and frost resistance. In addition, it is very resistant to both kidney mites and powdery mildew. Medium-sized fruits have an oval shape, sweet-sour taste and dense skin. The downside of this variety is that it needs frequent watering.
- Selechenskaya... A versatile early maturing variety with high productivity and resistance to frost and drought. This variety combines all the benefits of currants and gooseberries. Its large glossy black fruits with thin skin have a sweet taste and weigh about 5 grams. It is very resistant to kidney mites.
- Kipiana... This medium late variety is resistant to both powdery mildew and kidney mites. Almost black, rounded dessert fruits have a sweetish-sour taste and medium size.
- Vigorous... This late-ripening highly productive variety is very popular among gardeners. The oval-shaped fruits, the size of a cherry, weigh about 8 grams, the dense flesh has a refreshing sour taste. The variety is very resistant to both harmful insects and diseases, but at the same time it needs systematic rejuvenating pruning.
These currant varieties are usually quite easy to care for. In addition, most often they are resistant to other harmful insects.

How to treat currants in the fall from a kidney mite
A bud mite is a harmful insect that settles on currant bushes, affecting the newly blossoming buds of the plant. If you do not notice the pest, and do not take adequate measures to combat it in time, the entire crop may die, and sometimes the entire bush.
In the article, we will find out the features of the defeat of currants by this pest: we will find out the characteristics of the kidney mite, and how the problem can be eliminated. In addition, we will get acquainted with the preventive measures for this dangerous pest.
What is the danger of a pest for currants?
Spider mites are equally aggressive towards black and red currants. Its vital activity leads to drying out of foliage and weakens the bushes. In zones with a temperate climate, the spider mite does not cause serious damage to the currant: outbreaks of its activity are observed in some years, during dry and hot summers. But the kidney currant mite hurts every year. It is less dependent on weather conditions, invulnerable inside the kidneys.
Negative results of the activity of the kidney mite on currants:
- up to 50% of the buds die off on the bush (in 1-2 seasons, on susceptible varieties)
- plant productivity drops by 30-70%
- buds die irrevocably (there are no spare ones), and the branches become bare
- the growth and development of the bush slows down.
Currant plants damaged by ticks weaken and can freeze in winter. If you do not fight with parasites, then from year to year the bushes wither and practically do not produce a crop.
How the kidney currant mite develops
Fertilized females wait out the winter in their buds, which allows them to protect themselves from frost and other adverse weather conditions.
A spider mite on currants begins to actively lay eggs when temperatures reach 5 degrees Celsius. A female can lay 7-8 thousand eggs at a time, one kidney accommodates 4-7 thousand individuals, which entails its swelling to a round size. The development of the larva inside the egg continues for up to two weeks, after the tear of the bud during the flowering period, the parasites begin to feed.
A tick on black currant sucks out all the juice of young shoots, which leads to the death of a plant that has not yet blossomed. Larvae and females migrate within 30 days, this period usually falls on the flowering of the plant.
The problem will be visible to the naked eye. Relocation of pests to other shrubs occurs with the help of rain, clothing and wind, control methods are selected depending on the flowering period.
Currant bud mite is one of the harmful parasites for horticultural crops. A female can reproduce up to five generations in one year, which is equal to about 30,000 individuals. Over time, they adapt to bad weather conditions, which makes them more resilient. If you do not take preventive measures in advance, the shrub dies in one season.
Most often, a kidney mite affects the kidney of a currant bush. Outwardly, the affected kidneys differ from healthy ones by visible deformation, they enlarge and acquire the shape of a pea. In the fall, you can see two types of buds on a currant bush:
- Patients - in appearance, resemble a small head of cabbage, the kidneys are enlarged and round. From a large number of female ticks, the buds are swollen to enormous sizes, with the onset of warm weather, their reproduction occurs.
- Healthy kidneys have an oblong rounded shape with closed scales.
You can also notice such changes:
- The bud stops developing, the stems become disheveled, which indicates a viral infection of the shrub, which the parasite could have infected. In this case, the plant does not respond to treatment, it soon dies.
- The surface of the leaf blade becomes rough, deformation is observed, the color becomes pale.
- The upper young shoots change their color, brightness and size.
Such signs are noted in the spring-summer period.
Kidney mite resistant currant varieties
Orlovchanka, Uralskie Zori, Rosita are distinguished from varieties of red currants. Shrubs are distinguished by strong immunity, are rarely affected by diseases and pests, including kidney mites. They are grown in the middle zone of the country and in the northern regions.
Of the varieties of black currant, gardeners prefer Ksyusha, Aleander, Voroninskaya. They are distinguished by high productivity, resistance to external factors. However, it is important to remember that any currant needs preventive and protective measures.

Abstract: High-harmonic spectroscopy can access structural and dynamical information on molecular systems encoded in the amplitude and phase of high-harmonic generation (HHG) signals. However, measurement of the harmonic phase is a daunting task.Here, we present a precise measurement of HHG phase difference between two isotopes of molecular hydrogen using the advanced extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) Gouy phase interferometer. The measured phase difference is about 200 mrad, corresponding to ~3 attoseconds (1 as = 10−18 s) time delay which is nearly independent of harmonic order. The measurements agree very well with numerical calculations of a four-dimensional time-dependent Schödinger equation. Numerical simulations also reveal the effects of molecular orientation and intramolecular two-center interference on the measured phase difference.This technique opens a new avenue for measuring the phase of harmonic emission for different atoms and molecules. Together with isomeric or isotopic comparisons, it also enables the observation of subtle effects of molecular structures and nuclear motion on electron dynamics in strong laser fields.
Abstract: Interaction of intense laser fields with atoms distorts the bound-state electron cloud. Tracing the temporal response of the electron cloud to the laser field is of fundamental importance for understanding the ultrafast dynamics of various nonlinear phenomena of matter, but it is particularly challenging. Here, we show that the ultrafast response of the atomic electron cloud to the intense highfrequency laser pulses can be probed with the attosecond time-resolved photoelectron holography. In this method, an infrared laser pulse is employed to trigger tunneling ionization of the deforming atom. The shape of the deforming electron cloud is encoded in the hologram of the photoelectron momentum distribution. As a demonstration, by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we show that the adiabatic deforming of the bound-state electron cloud, as well as the nonadiabatic transition among the distorted states, is successfully tracked with attosecond resolution. Our work films the formation process of the metastable Kramers-Henneberger states in the intense high-frequency laser pulses. This establishes a novel approach for time-resolved imaging of the ultrafast bound-state electron processes in intense laser fields.
Abstract: Femtosecond laser ablation (FLA) has been playing a prominent role in precision fabrication of material because of its circumvention of thermal effect and extremely high spatial resolution. Molecular dynamics modeling, as a powerful tool to study the mechanism of femtosecond laser ablation, still lacks the connection between its simulation results and experimental observations at present. Here we combine a single-shot chirped spectral mapping ultrafast photography (CSMUP) technique in experiment and a three-dimensional two-temperature model-based molecular dynamics (3D TTM-MD) method in theory to jointly investigate the FLA process of bulky gold. Our experimental and simulated results show quite high consistency in time-resolved morphologic dynamics. According to the highly accurate simulations, the FLA process of gold at the high laser fluence is dominated by the phase explosion, which shows drastic vaporized cluster eruption and pressure dynamics,while the FLA process at the low laser fluence mainly results from the photomechanical spallation, which shows moderate temperature and pressure dynamics. This study reveals the ultrafast dynamics of gold with different ablation schemes,which has a guiding significance for the applications of FLA on various kinds of materials.
