Harold Apter • Showrunner
"We’re actually teaching at the same time as we’re making the show"
- American showrunner Harold Apter talked about his groundbreaking new Czech series at Série Series
At the sixth edition of Série Series in Fontainebleau, Cineuropa sat down with veteran American writer-producer Harold Apter, who has worked on such shows as Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Golden Girls and Walker, Texas Ranger. Now he’s bringing his expertise to Czech TV’s The Lynching – and training the next generation of European screenwriters in the process.
Cineuropa: How did you become involved in The Lynching?
Harold Apter: I was asked by FAMU, the Czech National Film School, to teach a module on American television, and was introduced to Jan Maxa at Czech Television. The goal was to train more television writers, and we came up with an idea for a joint project between the Czech National Film Schools and Czech Television. As result, we developed 10 pilot scripts, and 5 were accepted by Czech Television as potential projects. The Lynching was the winning project, and it was developed into a full season. My role changed and I became I a show-runner. So over the course of the last year, we’ve written all the episodes, and we’re now scheduled for production in January of next year. The Lynching will air either at the end of next year or the beginning of 2019. One of the young writers is going to direct, and there’s another director, a young woman from the United States, who’s been studying at FAMU and she will make her debut on The Lynching.
You have extensive experience working in television in the USA. How do you find that the process differs in Europe?
It is the same, as I got to invent the process. Partly I’m here to demonstrate what the American process is. The Lynching is unique because we’re actually teaching at the same time as we’re making the show. The biggest difference is that we’re going to shoot sequentially-we’re not going to shoot it like a movie. Usually in Czech Television, they’ll shoot it like a film in that they’ll shoot the whole series out of continuity. We’re going to shoot episode to episode. I’m basically working in the style of American television. European style tends to be very director-centric, like European films, where you have one director, and everybody answers to the director. What works very well in American television is that you have one executive producer/show-runner who can keep an overview of everything that’s going on, which is vital in television because we’re telling an extended story.
Is the series in Czech?
Yes. We’re writing everything in English, and translate to Czech. This is a difficult task because the Czech language is very different. One of our writers is also going to be our head translator as he’s intimate with the material.
How do you think the rise of new distribution platforms is changing the landscape of television?
What it seems to be doing right now is that there’s too much to watch. On the one hand it’s good, because it means endless opportunity for different points of view, different styles. It means that it isn’t just going to be driven by the network commercial agenda. The one fear I have is that one of the things that has always been important about television and movies has been finding a universal core that a wide audience could tap into, but now everything is becoming fractural.
Do you think these new platforms are increasing or decreasing the quality of series being produced?
They’re doing both. It’s about how you define quality. Quality of storytelling is always the most important thing, and I think the quality might diminishing in certain orders, due to the desire to create as much product as possible.
What is the budget for The Lynching?
Well, that’s a question for Czech TV. However, what is fascinating to me personally is that we can get a lot more for a lot less producing in the Czech Republic.
What is the storyline of the show?
It’s about a small town where people keep secrets from themselves and each other. What sets it off is the beating and death of a young Roma man. It has to do with prejudice against the Roma, but more so about how people lie to themselves about reality. It is about a personal vendetta. We think it’s racism, but it really is about people who looked away, and now it’s affected everyone.

Factors determining community participation in afforestation projects in River Nyando basin, Kenya
MetadataShow full item record
Factors determining community participation in afforestation projects were investigated. Data was collected from 150 respondents who were selected from a sample population of 1,928 households using systematic random sampling technique. Data was collected using a standardized questionnaire, focus group discussions and key informant interviews. Chi-square (χ2) test was used to establish the relationship between community participation (dependent variable) and socio-cultural, economic and environmental factors (independent variables) and also to test the strength of the relationship. The results of the study indicated that there was a strong positive relationship between community participation and the benefits obtained from the afforestation projects (χ2 α 0.05 = 0.000). There was also a positive relationship between environmental degradation and community participation in the afforestation projects (χ2 α 0.05 = 0.001). However, there was no relationship between community participation and cultural factors (χ2 α 0.05 = 0.824). There was also no relationship between respondents’ household status and community participation in the afforestation projects (χ2 α 0.05 = 0.156). The study concluded that for conservation projects to succeed, socio-economic benefits must be tangible to the project participants/ beneficiaries.

Shanghai has put its own spin on the world's most famous inflatable yellow bird.
Photos of a "roasted" version of Florentijn Hofman’s giant Rubber Duck sculpture showed up in the Chinese city this week, offering a clever take on the original 54-foot creation that graced the waters of Hong Kong earlier this year.
“The design process took place during Shanghai’s scorching hot summer days, so we just thought: ‘Let’s roast it’,” duck designer Han Beishi told AFP. “Other inspiration came from an ancient Chinese poem: ‘The duck knows first when the river becomes warm in spring.'"
Hofman's duck is still making the rounds in waterways across the globe, heading to Pittsburgh next while larger version heads to Taiwan. Let us know your thoughts on the Huangpu River parody in the comments.

PROBLEM SOLVING IS IN OUR DNA
Never Miss an Update
Join our Mailing List


In recent years, Structural Integrity has observed an increasing trend in the use of specialty instrumentation to solve “impossible” problems or answer “indecipherable” questions. This shift was particularly apparent within commercial nuclear, where data-driven solutions have long been perceived as challenging due to short outage windows, personnel dose concerns, and a significant paperwork burden, among other factors. Widespread adoption of instrumentation-based solutions creates new paths to tackling difficult/persistent problems, and shifts the industry focus for critical assets from reactionary to more of a predictive approach. In 2017,Structural Integrity assisted numerous clients with deployment of specialty instrumentation in this fashion, comprising two general scenarios: 1) new designs/modifications, and 2) repeat failures. Each application requires different sensors and varying analytical methods, but the approach used to leverage the resultant data to solve the problem is generically applicable throughout the energy sector. The text below details important considerations for both scenarios and highlights a successful application of the underlying process for management of thermal fatigue in reactor coolant system branch piping.
Whether developing a new reactor or modifying an existing system, most engineers are intimately familiar with the process of qualifying structures/ components to meet ASME/regulatory criteria through analytical methods. However, Structural Integrity has observed a tendency toward over-reliance on computer models where empirical testing/validation could be used as an alternate means of qualification. Instrumentation/data is leveraged where available (i.e. from benchmarking tests and/or Operating Experience) but is often a low priority compared to analytical work. We have a different perspective, having observed that integration of testing/instrumentation into the design process provides advance insight on potential challenges. Early identification of unexpected conditions and/or concerns helps to avoid rework and regulatory scrutiny, and in this vein integration of design and instrumentation can have significant fiscal benefits.
Structural Integrity has worked with numerous OEMs and AEs to provide confirmatory instrumentation and testing services in parallel with new designs and/or modifications. As such, we have a unique perspective on the nuances of achieving the appropriate balance between uncertainty/confidence, technical rigor, and cost of testing. For new designs, the number of unknowns can be significant, as complex geometries and innovative manufacturing techniques contribute nonlinearities to modeling efforts.
Guidance and procedures for current- generation plants are based upon decades of operating experience; new designs are expected to achieve a similar level of confidence, the burden of which is borne through analytical models and prototypical tests. Full-scale testing is expensive, and thus typically limited in scope/quantity; however, such tests provide critical feedback on analytical assumptions such as boundary conditions, application of loads, and presence of complex phenomena (i.e. flow-induced vibration, thermal binding, etc.).
Performance of in-situ testing in parallel with design/analysis efforts helps to validate modelling assumptions, reducing rework and helping optimize the workflow of analytical tasks. Such testing can also help to quantify specific loadings and/ or eliminate the inclusion of complex phenomena, which can, in turn, be used to demonstrate additional margin and/or reduce iterations. SI has successfully leveraged our instrumentation and cause evaluation expertise to provide in-situ testing and evaluation of numerous components/systems under design and/or during construction.
Our results have subsequently been used to validate model parameters (i.e. boundary conditions, loading amplitudes/cases, mode shapes, damping, etc.) and inform future testing activities (i.e. updated test matrices, reduced full-scale test scope, etc.). We also routinely support in-field final qualification of as-built modifications, providing confidence that the design functionality/acceptability will be maintained throughout a component’s lifecycle.
When “unexpected” problems become “persistent” issues, obtaining the right data can mean the difference between recurrence and permanent mitigation. Through measured evaluation of the failure history and apparent cause evaluation(s), SI can suggest a targeted instrumentation approach to stop the failure cycle. Recent examples where SI employed this approach to successfully address problems for our Nuclear clients include:
The trend toward data-informed solutions is not Nuclear specific; rather, multiple industries are observing fiscal benefit in employing this problem focused, technology-driven approach. SI’s recent projects range from evaluating the impact/effectiveness of impulse cleaning on heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) tubing arrays, to cause identification/mitigation for premature wicket gate bushing failures at hydroelectric stations. For the referenced cases, utility personnel could not ascertain whether design, maintenance, or operational issues were the primary contributor degradation and/ or poor performance; instrumentation quantified these relations and facilitated informed resolutions.
When faced with a recurring issue or repeat failure, a consistent problem- solving framework must be employed.
The first step entails thorough documentation of the issue – what is known/unknown, what has changed, and what gaps exist in the available information. Instrumentation can be used to address any identified gaps; Structural Integrity has specific expertise developing targeted instrumentation plans to supplement existing knowledge. These plans typically specify operational regimes of interest, sensor types and locations (including existing plant instrumentation), data collection approach/format, test repeatability/ confidence, and any analysis/post- processing routines necessary to provide correct context during data interpretation.

“House of Gucci”
Metacritic (8/10), Rotten Tomatoes (****)
When it comes to director Ridley Scott’s latest, those going in expecting high drama are going to be sorely, sorely disappointed. However, those craving a hefty serving of high camp will be positively delighted. This tawdry, wickedly funny account of the pulpy soap opera behind control of the famous (or is it infamous?) family-owned Italian fashion empire puts even the best episodes of Dynasty to shame. It’s virtually impossible to take any of this seriously, which is what I believe the filmmaker was going for here, despite those who mistakenly might believe to the contrary. With superb, over-the-top performances by Lady Gaga, Al Pacino, Jared Leto, Adam Driver and Jeremy Irons, coupled with extravagant production design excesses at every turn and a suitably fitting period piece soundtrack, this deliciously guilty pleasure of a film entertains throughout, even at a somewhat overlong (but nevertheless well-paced) two-and-a-half hour runtime. I was pleasantly surprised by this one, especially given the erroneous, off-the-mark advance reviews of it. In fact, I came away from it rhetorically asking myself, “Who knew Ridley Scott had such a sense of humor!” Indeed, if you don’t come away tickled by this one, then it’s obvious you’re no fun!


Extends MultiSource™ Fly Ash Supply Network to Erie Region
LOUISVILLE, KY (November 16, 2017) – Charah®, LLC, the nation’s largest privately-held ash management company, today announced that it recently secured an exclusive agreement to market the coal combustion products (CCPs) produced by the Scrubgrass Generating Plant in Kennerdell, Pennsylvania.

The Chilipad mattress pad is the perfect way to improve your sleep quality, providing you with a perfectly tailored balance of temperature for optimum comfort. Despite being incredibly easy to use and maintain, many people can find themselves left feeling unsure about how best to clean their mattress pad should it start looking anything but pristine.
However, by following these simple steps on how to clean chilipad mattress pad, it needn’t be an issue! Here we’ll cover all you need to know when taking care of your Chilipad mattress Pad so that you can enjoy perfect sleep every night.
What is Chili Pad Mattress Pad?
The ChiliPad mattress pad is the perfect way to get the best sleep ever. It offers an adjustable temperature range from 55° – 110° F, allowing you to dial in your ideal comfort level for optimal sleep.
The mattress pad is made of a soft, breathable fabric that helps keep cool air moving and helps regulate your body temperature while you sleep. The integrated heating and cooling system uses a water-based technology to provide adjustable temperatures that are comfortable for everyone.
Given Below are the materials that you need in order to clean your Chilipad Mattress Pad:
Soft Cloth or Sponge
The softer the better so as to not damage the fabric.
Make sure it is a colorless, scentless neutral pH cleaner specifically designed for upholstery fabrics or mattress pads.
For deeper cleaning and vacuuming away any dust and debris buildup.
Distilled White Vinegar
Water-based stains such as sweat, food or drink spills.
For organic stains such as blood or urine.
Step-by-step Guidelines on How to Clean Chilipad Mattress Pad
Step 1: Unplug the Mattress Pad
Before cleaning, it is important to unplug the mattress pad from the wall. Doing so will allow for safe and easy access when cleaning. It is also important to ensure that the mattress pad is completely dry before plugging it back in. If the mattress pad is still wet, the heat could create a fire hazard.
Step 2: Vacuum the Mattress Pad
Using a vacuum cleaner, carefully remove any dust and debris particles that have accumulated on the mattress pad over time. Take special care not to damage the mattress pad fabric while vacuuming. If necessary, use a soft brush attachment on the vacuum cleaner to gently remove any stubborn debris.
Step 3: Spot Clean the Mattress Pad
Using a mild detergent and a damp cloth, spot clean any stubborn stains or dirt marks on the mattress pad. Make sure to use gentle pressure and circular motions when cleaning to avoid damaging the fabric. It is also important to remember that Chilipad mattress pads are not machine washable.
Step 4: Use Vinegar
If you need to remove water-based stains such as sweat, food or drink spills, mix one part distilled white vinegar with two parts water in a spray bottle. Spray the affected area and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before blotting it up with a clean cloth or paper towel. However, avoid using vinegar on organic or protein-based stains such as urine or blood.
Step 5: Use an Enzyme Cleaner
For organic stains such as blood or urine, use an enzyme cleaner specifically designed for upholstery fabrics. Spray the affected area with the cleaner and allow it to sit for 20 minutes before blotting it up with a clean cloth or paper towel. It is important to note that enzyme cleaners may take several applications before all the organic material has been removed.
Step 6: Rinse the Mattress Pad
Once any stains have been removed, rinse off the mattress pad using lukewarm water and a damp cloth. Make sure to remove all traces of detergent or cleaning products from the mattress pad before continuing. If necessary, you can use a soft brush to remove any stubborn residue before rinsing.
Step 7: Blot Away Excess Water
Using a dry, clean cloth, carefully blot away any excess water from the mattress pad until it is completely dry. If necessary, take breaks in between blotting to allow the mattress pad time to dry. Otherwise, the heat of the mattress pad could damage it further. You may also want to use a hairdryer on a low setting to speed up the drying process.
Step 8: Allow the Pad to Air Dry
Once the mattress pad is completely dry, it is important to give it some time to air-dry before plugging it back in. Allowing at least 24 hours for the mattress pad to fully dry will ensure that any lingering moisture doesn’t cause damage or hinder its performance. If possible, manually adjust the pad’s temperature setting to its lowest level while it is drying.
Step 9: Reattach the Mattress Pad
Once your Chilipad Mattress Pad has been cleaned and allowed enough time to air-dry, you can reattach it back onto your bed frame or base. Ensure that all connections are secure before plugging the unit into a power outlet. It is also important to double-check the temperature settings before using it. If everything looks good, you are ready to enjoy a restful and comfortable sleep.
Step 10: Plug It In and Enjoy
Once you have reattached the mattress pad to your bed frame or base, it is now time to plug it in and enjoy a good night’s sleep. Make sure to check the temperature settings beforehand so you can find the level of comfort that best suits you! Remember to clean and air-dry your Chilipad mattress pad regularly to ensure that it remains in its best condition. With proper maintenance, you can enjoy the benefits of a Chilipad mattress pad for years to come.
Step 11: Clean Regularly
It is important to regularly clean your Chilipad Mattress Pad in order to maintain its performance and longevity. Daily vacuuming and spot cleaning as needed, will help keep your mattress pad looking and performing like new for many years to come. Always refer to the manufacturer’s care instructions prior to cleaning your mattress pad.
By following these steps on how to clean chilipad mattress pad, you can easily learn how to clean your Chilipad Mattress Pad and ensure it’s in top condition. Remember to vacuum regularly, spot clean as needed and give the mattress pad time to air-dry before plugging it back into a power outlet. With proper care and maintenance, your Chilipad Mattress Pad should be able to provide years of comfort and relaxation.
Do You Need to Use Professionals?
No, you do not need to use professionals to clean your Chilipad Mattress Pad. However, if you feel more comfortable having a professional do the job, you can contact a local upholstery cleaning service for assistance. But if you follow the steps outlined above and take proper care of your mattress pad, you should be able to keep it in great shape with no professional help needed.
How Much Could It Cost?
Cleaning your Chilipad Mattress Pad should not cost you anything if you do it yourself. If you decide to hire a professional, the cost will depend on the size and complexity of the job. Contact your local upholstery cleaning service for more information on pricing and availability. It could be worth the extra money to get a professional job done.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How Often Should I Clean My Chilipad Mattress Pad?
A: It is recommended to vacuum the mattress pad daily and spot clean as needed. For deep cleaning, it is best to do this at least once a month or as instructed by the manufacturer.
Q: Can I Machine Wash My Chilipad Mattress Pad?

My photography is very experimental without focusing on any specific genre. When a photograph is needed to be taken professionally, like a headshot, for a special project or as simple as a portfolio piece, I take them. But in general I simply take pictures of things that catch my eye.
Camera // Nikon D70 and Nikon 1 J3
Food & Drink
Outdoors & Plantlife
Creative & Still Life
Pottery and sculpture is one of my favorite things to do. From creating functional pieces or unique shapes to messing with firing techniques and glazes, I simply forget about everything else and fall into almost a zen-like state of mind.
Digital Fine Art
My digital fine art is meant to invoke thinking through the visual sense. The images visually represent a synthesis through the layering of various objects, textures, photography and more. Taking a person on a visual journey, each piece embraces the viewer and stirs their minds emotionally, imaginatively and psychologically.
My fine art isn't that strong, I know this. But I really enjoyed creating them which is sometimes all that matters.

Trinity 14 continues the Dark Destiny storyline. It’s a heavy action issue, which is not a bad thing. The art, by Marion and Florea, is exceptionally good, which helps carry it quickly along.
Poor Batman and Wonder Woman are left to deal with not only a possessed Red Hood and the Outlaws, but also Superman, thanks to Circe’s manipulations.
John Constantine winds up providing the emotional core to the story, which is a bit weird. His feelings for Zatanna become critical as he tries to play Circe, while she works to out scheme Constantine.
While this is not an issue that provides any great depth or insight into the three main characters, it does remain a fun and entertaining story. A trifle, I suppose, but one that no one would regret reading.

National Recreation Areas allow powerboats on lakes and roads for vehicles, so can drones fly in this area? Can model aircraft fly in this area? Can model boats be used on the lakes or rivers? Can rafts be used in the rivers?
The operation of UAS in these areas is regulated by the National Park Service, but, according to a 2014 memorandum, this authority has been delegated to the individual parks themselves. You would have to check with the park itself. Further information is available in an NPS article on the topic and in the NPS rules and regulations section.
For an example on the state level, the Pennsylvania Dept of Conservation and Natural Resources has designated flying sites in six flying sites at a selected number of state parks. If I go to the website for the Allegheny Portage Railroad (a park managed by the NPS), they have a specific statement on UAS usage in their policy compendium.
Boats and such...that I'm less sure of.

On October 12th, Brac University held a roundtable discussion promoting Mental Health of Young Adults: Role of Mental Health Professionals and Academic Institutions. The discussion included panelists’ thoughts, personal experiences and ideas of future collaboration.
Our lead psychiatrist, Dr. Ashique Selim was one of the participants in the discussion. Dr. Selim elaborated that we need to approach the issue of youth mental health as an interagency collaboration. He explained that we first need to collect a substantial amount of data about the youth of Bangladesh over a period of time which can only be done through interagency efforts. In order to see the performance of the youth and what decisions affect their lives we need to take a holistic approach instead of just looking at their academic achievements.
Lastly Dr.Selim concluded his talk with drugs and society and how we need to understand the use and misuse of drugs which can only be achieved by having open conversations and raising awareness. #mentalhealthawareness #youthmentalhealth #bracuniversity #youth

Last Wednesday, the Israeli Air Force passed two milestones.
In the early afternoon, the first C-130J Super Hercules landed at Nevatim base in the Negev. The transport aircraft, a vastly upgraded version of the venerable Hercules that flew Israeli commandos to Entebbe for the dramatic raid 38 years ago, has new avionics, engines and radar-evading devices that will enable the IAF to drop or land special forces on secret missions far behind enemy lines.
Ten hours later, from Palmahim base on the Mediterranean coast, a Shavit launcher blasted into the night sky, taking Ofek 10, Israel’s latest spy satellite, into orbit.
Israel has had independent satellite surveillance capabilities for nearly two decades and, since the 1956 paratrooper drop at the Mitla Pass, strategic insertion of elite forces has been a hallmark of the Israeli military.
But the C-130J and Ofek 10 are major enhancements. They signal a five-year long transition for the IDF, a shift that will intensify in the near future. The backbone of the old IDF, the large armoured divisions and brigades, are anachronisms. Some are already being disbanded, with no regular Arab army in the region in a position to pose a conventional threat.
Instead, there is massive investment in guided weapons, launched from the ground, air and sea; and in drones, submarines and missile defence batteries. Money is being poured into sensors of all shapes and sizes for new kinds of surveillance systems, providing commanders with an integrated battle picture, sometimes on screens as small and portable as mini-tablets.
When the enemy can arrive from any direction — likely as a small, nimble attack force — the generals need to have at their disposable a wide array of sensors capable of detecting the threat, identifying it, acquiring its precise co-ordinates and passing them on to whatever strike force can eliminate it with the minimum collateral damage.
More and more, that threat may be an electronic one, so cyber-warfare is also becoming a top priority.
If the IAF is ever sent to bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities, the overriding assumption that Israel will immediately be facing numerous retaliatory attacks from Iran’s proxies in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza, and these systems will come to the fore.
Most of these defensive and offensive systems are being developed in Israel, while manned aircraft and submarines are being bought from the US and Germany. But the growing number of young men and women needed to operate this new equipment will have to come at the expense of the traditional ground combat units, which are already shrinking.
With the IDF is still needed to provide thousands of soldiers to patrol the West Bank, it will only reinforce the traditional political moderation of the High Command — certainly in comparison with the current coalition — and their insistence on co-operation with the Palestinian Authority in order to keep the peace on the ground.

Hypersonic Missile News
Russia's defence ministry said the exercise involved nearly all branches of the armed forces, including its strategic rocket forces, as well the Northern and Black Sea fleets, which have nuclear-armed submarines
Railguns to defend against hypersonic missiles: What are they and why Japan is betting on this Next Gen weapon
Months after North Korea joined the major powers, such as Russia, China and the United States with the test of a new hypersonic missile late last year, Japan is getting ready with its own Next Gen weapon to defend against any misadventure from its neighbours
The proposal must formally go through the UN Security Council's committee on North Korean sanctions, which is comprised of the 15 members of the Security Council and whose decisions must be made unanimously
A photo of the launch shows the upper parts of the missiles launched in September and this week have different shapes, suggesting that North Korea is testing two versions of warheads
China, which confirmed the test on October 18, tried to downplayed it, saying it was "routine test" and emphasised that "it's not missile, but a spacecraft"
Underscoring the attractiveness of hypersonics, a CRS report says that the US missile defense system is inadequate to detect, track and respond in time to hypersonics
North Korea fires new 'hypersonic missile': All you need to know about this 'next generation of arms'
This new war technology travelling at than five times the speed of sound are currently unstoppable, as there is no operational method of intercepting them

Inkberry Plant: Complete Guide and Care Tips
Gardening is a therapeutic activity that has been embraced by people for centuries.
It offers numerous benefits beyond just beautifying your space, including stress relief, exercise, and fresh air.
If you’re looking for a plant that’s easy to grow and maintain with stunning foliage all year round, the inkberry plant is an excellent choice.
In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about inkberry plants.
What is an Inkberry Plant?
The inkberry (Ilex glabra) is a member of the holly family native to eastern North America.
Also called gallberry or Appalachian tea, it’s an evergreen shrub with shiny leaves that are dark green on top and paler underneath.
The plant grows up to six feet tall and wide in USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9.
Care Tips for Inkberry Plants
- Soil: Inkberries thrive in acidic soil with pH levels ranging from 4.5-6.0.
They prefer well-draining soil that’s rich in organic matter but can tolerate poor soils as long as they’re not waterlogged.
- Sunlight: These plants can grow in full sunlight or partial shade but prefer more shade than sun during the hottest part of the day.
- Water: Once established, inkberries are drought-tolerant but require regular watering during their first year after planting to encourage root establishment.
Water deeply once or twice a week depending on weather conditions.
- Fertilizer: Fertilize your inkberries once every two years using slow-release fertilizers formulated for acid-loving plants such as azaleas or rhododendrons.
- Pruning: Inkberries require minimal pruning but can be trimmed to maintain their shape or remove dead wood.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth appears.
Benefits of Growing Inkberry Plants
Inkberry plants offer several benefits, including:
- All-year-round foliage: The inkberry plant is an evergreen shrub, which means that it retains its leaves throughout the year and provides greenery even during the winter season.
- Bird-friendly: The fruit of the inkberry plant attracts birds such as robins and cedar waxwings, making it a great addition to bird gardens or natural landscapes.
- Disease-resistant: Inkberries are resistant to pests and diseases that afflict other plants in your garden.
They’re also deer-resistant, meaning they won’t be eaten by these animals that often cause damage to gardens.
Potential Drawbacks of Growing Inkberry Plants
Nothing is perfect, and likewise, inkberries have some potential downsides you need to consider before planting them in your garden.
- Susceptibility to root rot when planted in poorly drained soils: Inkberries don’t like waterlogged soil; therefore, if you plant them in poorly drained soils with no proper drainage system set up beforehand, they may develop root rot disease due to excessive moisture content present around their roots.
- Sensitive leaves: The shiny leaves of an inkberry are very sensitive towards harsh chemicals present around their surroundings.
Therefore any herbicides or pesticides use should strictly avoid over sprays near the shrub.
Inkberry plants offer year-round greenery, are pest and disease resistant, and attract birds to your garden.
With proper care, they’re easy to grow in both sunny and shady areas of your garden.
If you want a plant that’s low maintenance and looks great all year round, the inkberry is an excellent option.

The national electricity grid has collapsed, leading to power outage across the country.
Abdulazeez Abdullahi, head of corporate communication of Kaduna Electricity Distribution PLC, made the announcement on Wednesday.
In a post on Kaduna Electric’s Twitter handle, Abdullahi said the collapse affected areas on it network including Kaduna, Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states.
Ikeja Electric, one of the two electricity distribution companies in Lagos, also confirmed the development.
It said the collapse occured around 2:00pm affecting homes and businesses on its network.
“This is to inform you that we experienced a system collapse at 13:58hrs today and this affected all customers on the IE network,” the tweet reads.
“However, we are pleased to confirm that supply has been restored to Alimosho, Ogba, and Alausa transmission stations at 14:47hrs. Please note that gradual restoration to other areas is currently ongoing. Thank you for your understanding.”
In a similar tweet, Eko Electricity Distribution Company, the other disco in Lagos, said most areas on its network have been affected by the development.
“There has been a partial system collapse on the National Grid interrupting supply to most areas within our network. We are gathering updates on the situation and will provide them as available,” it reads.
“For now, please be assured that all stakeholders are working hard to make sure this is resolved. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.”
This is not the first time the national electricity grid will collapse as a similar incident was recorded in November.
The development came months after the national grid collapsed twice within 24 hours in January 2020.
