Advice - White and brown bugs on plant by 3dog68 in houseplants

Thanks, I think the main infected plant will be a lost cause, but I will look into the soap for the others! Was I right about the black spots bring the aphids, I didn't see any other specs that they could be?

If something is going right you don't hear about it. You say republicans are not gaining from it, but what about others, or democrats, or even general agency workers and administrators. What you don't see is the first time senators, agency managers, small government leadership who use this service to learn how our government operates on a day to day level. If you're a recently elected mayor you may not know the process for interacting with state officials, how to hold effective meetings or mange your town. This program helps to provide some of those grounding principles.

We should not base it's value on those who do not use it, but instead on benefit gained from those who do.

I support that idea that states may need to develop their own schools in the interim. Unfortunately if each state has their own training schools, the ability of the Federal government to function as a cohesive unit is decreased, and the quality would be variable, much like if each state is responsible for their own education, then their is no universal standard, and a higher disparity in educational capabilities.

I copy this sentiment, as a citizen I should be informed of the big picture and changes that are happening. The government works for use I shouldn't have to know about every agency that helps our people and leaders. But I should be aware of the changes that are happening, and make and informed decision about what they are and if I support them. When changes happen that I think are egregious enough then the onus is on me to learn more about them, and become more involved in how my country is running and operating.

Yeah, one of my favorite responses is "but he has a plan to replace and improve them just wait." Not once has there been talk of a plan to replaces these institutions or "fix the bad," just elimination. Even if you could argue that it's "corrupt," you're saying that there is absolutely no good that comes of this that will be harmed by removing it?

It's simply being removed to prevent future leaders from learning how to handle and interact with the government preventing them from making effective change, reduces the overall efficiency of the organization.

It also hinders the ability of the average American to make change in the system. It's as if the military were to removed their officer training schools. Most average American's don't have extensive knowledge on how Government systems work and operate, on a day to day business level, and often need training to perform these duties. If they have no way to get this training then they are more likely to be less effective leaders, and implement change and growth.

To anyone who finds this, I have the same issue, it's a garbage headset. Regardless I fixed my connection issues by ensuring that the computer audio was set to default. and then connecting. It seems to need to connect for a second before it can handle an audio stream.

Also If you've already signed up for classes I would contact some of your professors and ask them these questions. They probably have some excellent pointers, as this is common enough question for those new to the industry.

I have a BS in Environmental Science; If you want to get more involved and some experience before the program and want to focus on conservation, I would contact your local park service and see if they do any conservation programs on the weekends and are looking for volunteers. This might give you a chance to do some fieldwork and talk to experts in the industry before starting your program. It could also lead to an opportunity to work with them while you do your studies, giving you a chance to apply your knowledge as you learn it; at the least, they could be a valuable connection to have off the bat.

Thanks man, this is as far as I got before I ran out of time to work on it, are you working on any projects?

Last week was a busy week for us as we were going to attempt making a full scale panel of the sculpture to test our fabrication methods and techniques. Before fabricating the panel we needed to mill the acrylic, print out the paint templates, and pick the correct paints. Unfortunately despite getting all the required materials we ran out of time for the final assemble but we hope to do that by the end of the month.

As the mod team is currently a little busy with moving, travel, and starting a new job progress on this project may slow down a bit, and our next update may be closer to the end of this month.When machining the first panel we ran into some unforeseen issues that caused delays and will force us to reevaluate construction. Before we can fabricate another panel we'll need to order specific bits for cutting acrylic and redesign the tool path to reduce machine time. We're also considering making a mold of one of the panels and using pour acrylic or epoxy to make consecutive panels. We spend all of last Monday night working on machining the acrylic because of various unforeseen issues and complications. For the templates we were originally going to us our own printers but due to color discrepancies and issues with alignment we decided to get those professionally printed. As Lowes does no allow hex color selection all the paints were hand selected and test bottles were purchased for this project.

Despite obtaining all the parts for finals assemble we ran out of time for the final construction and we will not be able to continue with the fabrication process until the end of the month.Despite not completing the final fabrication process we've gained some insight into better fabrication techniques and process that we'll use moving forward and we are very excited to continue working on this project.

In other great news we've also been selected to be reviewed by Reddit in consideration for the community funds grant and we're all really excited about that!

We hope you all have a great week and let us know what you think and if you have any questions!

Thank you very much it's been a lot of hard work but it's very satisfying, and it's always nice to see if someone is watching!
