Q: Inspect your rose plant regularly for signs of aphids, scales and mealybugs, and spider mites. Aphids are tiny, soft-bodied insects that are commonly green or white and look like miniature moths. Scales and mealy bugs are small, flat or rounded insects that are usually immobile and look like tiny cotton balls. Spider mites are barely visible to the naked eye, but they cause tiny dots or stippling on the leaves and a fine web between the leaves or branches. A mild infestation can usually be controlled by simply spraying them off with a strong stream of water from the garden hose in the morning a few times each week. However, if the pests become a serious problem, spray the rose in the early morning with insecticidal soap, being careful to coat the tops and bottoms of the leaves as well as the stems. This type of soap is commonly sold in ready-to-use form and comes in a spray bottle at garden or home improvement stores. Spray the entire shrub and stems until the liquid is dripping from the leaves and running down the stems. Wait about an hour, then wash it off with a stream of water.
A: Check your rose plant for pests regularly. Spray an infested shrub with insecticidal soap.

Article: If you feel like you have a million things to say, pick one message that you feel really passionate about. You can always make a few signs to represent your ideas, but it is best to choose one message per sign. Then, decide whether you want to use text and imagery to convey your message, an image or a symbol without text. If you want to say something about women's rights to fair pay, you could write, "equal pay for equal work." If you want to say something about human rights at a women's march, you could write, "women's rights are human rights." If you want to say something about the inequitable impacts of global climate change, you could use the term "climate justice." To convey the urgency of the need to tackle climate change, you could write, "climate justice now." Then, you could visually highlight this statement with a symbol, such as an image of the planet melting on an ice cream cone. If you decide to use text to convey your message, compose a short, clear statement to represent your message. In terms of brevity, you are best sticking to a statement of seven words or less, since it can be hard to fit long text on a protest sign. You can say a lot in seven words! At the March on Washington in 1963, protestors held signs saying, "we demand an end to bias now." These seven words convey the urgent need to end racial bias in America. You may want to convey your message with a symbol, which can be used either in place of text or alongside a written message. You could make your sign really popular by using an eye-popping and recognizable symbol, such as a peace sign! The peace sign was designed by British artist Gerald Holtom. It was originally designed for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). The symbol for the female sex is often used in women's marches and feminist campaigns. The equal sign can be used to represent equality. The fist can be used as a symbol for social justice. Symbols that go well together can be combined. Protests often have popular slogans and statements that are repeated on many signs. To stand out from the crowd, you should personalize your statement! For instance, if you are a fan of a particular show or film, draw on your fan wisdom to make a political statement. If you identify as queer, transgender, female, working class or something else, connect your statement to this particular identity or intersection of identities. After composing your statement but prior to writing it on the sign, you may want to get some feedback from friends. They could give you really helpful advice. If you get critical feedback, try rewriting the message to improve whatever is missing, such as clarity, brevity, wit, force or personal resonance. If you are protesting with friends, you could also ask whether your statement goes well with the signs they will be carrying. People often read signs in relation to one another, especially when protestors stand next to one another.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Figure out what you want to say. Practice brevity when using text on protest signs. Choose a symbol. Make your message personal. Get peer feedback.

Q: Visit the appropriate court (county, state, appellate, supreme, etc.) and ask an employee to show you to the court record archives. The archives might be organized by year, by case type, or by both. Ask the person who directs you to the archives how to find the record you need. You can view the record for free, but will need to pay a fee if you want to make copies. Depending on how much space they have, the court may have moved older records to a different location. If so, ask whether you should visit that location or submit a request for the clerk to have the file sent back to the court archives. If you don't want to search the archives yourself, you can fill out paperwork to have the clerk's office do the work for you. The process may vary from court to court, so read through the instructions carefully. While some courts will ask you to send your request through the mail, others might ask you to visit the clerk in person. The court's website might say that you must mail your records request to them. Copy the address carefully to ensure your request reaches the right office. Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope so they can mail the record back to you. Make sure it's big enough to hold the entire document! The website might ask you to download and print off a request form, or just to write a letter asking for a criminal record. Look first for a form, but if you're writing a letter, include the following information: The defendant's full, legal name His or her date of birth The specific documents you would like to see. For example: A trial docket (all the materials filed during a trial) The minutes for a specific court date The sentencing document If the court doesn't allow mailed requests, visit the clerk's office in person. You can either fill out the request form there or deliver your request letter. Bring as much information as possible with you, so you don't have to come back for a second trip with more information. The benefit of submitting your request in person is that you can ask questions to the person helping you out. Don't be shy! If you have any questions, ask them before you leave the office. Some courts are now allowing access to digital records, but these records are not free. You will most likely have to pay for downloads. The clerk's office will likely charge you for every page they have to copy for you. Estimate how many pages the record will be, and include that amount with the request. If you are mailing your request, search the website for a "fee schedule" that tells you how much it costs to print each page. If you are submitting your request in person, ask the person at the desk to help you figure out how much you owe. Some offices only ask you to cover the costs up to a certain amount. They might ask you to write "Not to exceed $10" or "Not to exceed $35" on the check you write. If you provided a self-addressed, stamped envelope, the clerk's office will send you the records in the mail. If not, they will call you to let you know when you can pick the records up in person.
A:
Search the court archives yourself. Search the court's website for information on requesting criminal records. Mail your request. Deliver your request in person. Pay the fee. Wait to receive your records.
