INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use enough water to thoroughly dampen the soil from top to bottom without oversaturating it. Roses are thirsty plants, and may need as much as 1.5 gallons (around 5 liters) per day. It’s important not to let your roses dry out.  In between waterings, stick a finger into the soil. If it feels dry to the touch, it’s probably time to water again.  You may need to water your roses more frequently if you live in a particularly warm climate, or they spent most of the day in direct sunlight. Roses flourish in warm, brightly-lit conditions. For this reason, a west- or south-facing window is usually the best place to situate roses grown indoors. They’ll do best when allowed to receive 7 or more hours a day, though miniature roses can get by on 4-5.  If necessary, you can reposition your roses throughout the day to keep them bathed in the changing sunlight. Consider letting your roses spend most of the day outside on a sun-drenched porch, patio, or balcony during the warm summer months. Go with a well-balanced liquid or slow-release fertilizer formulated for roses, such as 10-10-10 or 12-12-12 formula. These provide rose bushes with most of the nutrients they need to grow. To be on the safe side, always apply fertilizer soon after watering, and only use about half the amount recommended on the product packaging. Overfeeding your roses can burn the delicate roots, especially when they’re dry.  Once the flowers begin blooming, you can increase the frequency of your applications to once every 1-2 weeks.  Roses grown outdoors will need to be fertilized more often than those grown indoors because of how much faster they develop. Leaving a little room between each container will increase the airflow around your roses, allowing them to take in more beneficial gases from the surrounding atmosphere. It can also help prevent the spread of fungal diseases by keeping affected foliage from coming into contact with healthy plants. In addition to preserving the health of your roses, spacing your containers strategically makes it possible to display them over a much wider area. Inspect your roses periodically to look for dead or fading blooms. When you find them, clip the stem down to the first set of five leaflets using a pair of sharp pruning shears. Removing dead blooms will encourage healthy new flowers to return in their place.  Get in the habit of pruning your roses back in the spring before they start blooming.  Selective pruning can also be used to shape the plant to better fit a particular space. Always prune above an outward-facing bud to prevent inward growth. When roses outgrow a small container, they can become rootbound, which means there’s no longer enough room for their roots to continue spreading. To prevent an established rose from becoming rootbound, simply loosen the soil around the edges of the old container, lift out the entire plant, and transfer it to its new home.  Be sure to fill the new container with fresh potting soil and organic material. It’s especially important to repot roses if you’ve noticed their growth stalling, or they appear sickly despite having their needs met.

SUMMARY: Water your roses regularly to keep the soil moist. Place your roses where they can get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Fertilize growing roses every 4-6 weeks. Space your individual containers 2 feet (0.61 m) apart. Deadhead dead or dying blooms to make room for new growth. Repot your roses every 3 years.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even if the girl doesn't mind being tackled, she might not be so comfortable with you touching her breasts or her pelvic region. The legs and the midriff are usually safe. Wrap your arms around her waist, or aim low for her knees. Try not to worry too much about inappropriate touching. Pretend that you are tackling a male friend, but be a bit gentler. If you obviously aren't aiming for her private areas, then there shouldn't be a problem. Once you wrap your arms around her for the tackle, try placing your arms on her back so that she won't be hurt when she hits the ground. If you make a diving tackle from a few steps behind, then you will tackle harder in your effort to catch up. If you are worried that you'll hurt her, try to catch up to her first, then bring her slowly to the ground – that is, if you can catch her! Girls are tough, too. If she wants to play tackle football with you, then that is her choice. It is not necessarily your place to treat her like a delicate doll. Be careful, certainly, and treat her with respect – but do not assume that she is weak just because she is a girl!

SUMMARY: Avoid touching sensitive areas. Tackle gently. Respect her agency to play.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will want a beginner or training kite with high stability, a wide wind range, and moderate turning speed. Beginner kites are usually smaller and advertised as such. Maximum upwind drive is also important.  As you get more experienced you can feel free to pick a kite board that suits your individual style and needs.  Be sure to pick a kite that is appropriate for your bodyweight. They should be clearly labeled. Normally a beginner will practice with a soft trainer kite first; this has a size of 0.5 to 1.5 meters squared. Then you'll buy a bigger kite depending on the local wind conditions. This kite will be in the size range of around 7 to 13 meters squared. You use bigger kites for lighter wind and smaller kites for stronger winds. If you are unsure, ask a dive or surf shop employee. Choosing the right kite surfing board is essential. Every kite surfer is different, and you'll need to find one that is comfortable for you. Beginners will usually want larger, more stable boards.  Be sure to pick up a board that is advertised for your weight.  Your board shouldn't be too heavy. You should be able to carry it in one hand. Make sure it has secure bindings to keep your feet connected to the board. As you become more skilled you may want to get a smaller board, with more rocker so that you can learn to do tricks. In addition to having secure bindings on your board you will need safety equipment. You'll want an impact vest and a helmet at the very least, especially if you are a beginner. Be sure to also equip yourself with a safety leash to be able to use your kites safety release function.   You may also want to wear a wetsuit, especially in cold water. A secure bathing suit is necessary. A string bikini probably won't do.

SUMMARY:
Pick the right surf kite. Select a kite surfing board. Get together your safety equipment.
