INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pull the plug out of the wall, and find the trigger lock just behind the trigger that you would use to release a staple. Shift the lock to the left or right, or press it toward the trigger to lock the trigger in place. Your gun may not have a trigger lock. In that case, be careful while you’re loading the staples. As long as the gun is unplugged, you should be safe. The magazine release is a button that releases clip that holds the staples in place. Look at the rear part of the stapler, toward the bottom. It should have 2 small indentations on either side of the stapler for you to squeeze and pull. If you don’t know where your magazine is located, find where the staples come out of the gun. The release button should be on the opposite side of the bottom of the gun where the staples are fired. Place your thumb and forefinger on either side of the release, and press in before pulling out. This will release the magazine from the gun, revealing a compartment underneath of the gun where you’ll place the staples. If you haven’t already, you will need to lay the stapler on its side or hold it upside-down to load the staples into the gun. Insert a row of staples into the compartment with the legs facing up toward you, and slide them toward the front of the stapler. Keep holding the gun upside down to keep them in place. If you’re using the staple gun to fire brad nails, look at the magazine rod. It should say something like “Load brads” with an arrow facing up or down. Lay a row of brad nails against the side if the compartment that the arrow is pointing toward. If your stapler doesn’t have an indication for how to load brad nails, it’s possible that the stapler isn’t able to fire them. Check the manual or search online to ensure that your stapler is compatible with brad nails. Hold the release button between your thumb and forefinger and push the magazine back into the compartment. The click notifies you that the magazine has clipped into place and that the staples won’t fall out. If you don’t hear a click, try pulling the magazine out and pushing it back in again.

SUMMARY: Unplug the staple gun and lock the trigger before you begin loading it. Find the magazine release buttons at the back of the stapler. Squeeze the release buttons and pull the tray out. Place the staples upside-down in the magazine. Use the marking on the magazine release if you’re loading brad nails. Slide the magazine back into the chamber until you hear it snap into place.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Put down a small box or another obstacle to practice jumping over while doing a barspin on your bike or scooter. Start riding towards your obstacle, and jump at the last minute to pull off a barspin directly over it. This will add a little bit more of a challenge to the trick and make it look much cooler. Try jumping over cardboard boxes, off of curbs, or over anything else you see in your path. Rather than using a bunnyhop to get the air you need to pull off a barspin, try going over a jump or out of a quarter pipe to get the wheels of your bike or scooter off the ground. As you reach the highest point of the jump, spin the bar and straighten it up to land. This might take some more practice to do perfectly, but keep at it! After all, practice makes perfect. After you’ve gotten the hang of the barspin, see if you can spin the bar around two times or even more while your scooter or bike is in the air. Make sure you practice this and get plenty of air before trying to do a double barspin! If you get your air off of a big enough jump or out of a quarter-pipe, you might even be able to spin the bar more than twice. See how many spins you can do, but make sure you always put your safety first. If you’re doing a barspin on a scooter, practice spinning the bars without holding onto them. Use your dominant hand to pull one side of the bars toward you and start it spinning before catching them as you land. This might take more practice, but it will be even more impressive.
Summary: Try hopping over obstacles as you barspin for an extra challenge. Barspin out of a jump or a ramp for some more airtime. Spin your bar around more than once to do a double barspin. Let go of the bars completely as you spin to add more difficulty.

The pot size will limit how large your plumeria can grow. Your pot will also need drainage holes on the bottom so that water doesn’t pool on the bottom and rot your cutting.  Even if you plan on transplanting the plumeria outdoors, you should start the cutting in a pot indoors. Each plumeria cutting will need a separate pot. Look for a potting soil that is labeled as fast-draining online or at a gardening store. Thoroughly mix the perlite and potting soil together so that they are well incorporated. Fill the pot 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the brim to give the cutting enough medium to grow in and to prevent overflow when you water. Fast-draining potting mix will prevent mold and fungus from forming on your cutting. The water that you put in the pot should drain out of its drainage holes on the bottom. If the water doesn’t drain, you’ll need to use a lighter, more porous potting mixture. If you want, you can add 1 part vermiculite to the potting mixture to aid with drainage. While not necessary, root growth hormone will help initial roots grow from your cutting. You can purchase powdered rooting hormone online or at a gardening store. Dip the cut end of the cutting into a cup of water first, then dip it into the root growth hormone powder so that 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of the cutting is covered in the powder. Dipping the cutting in water first will help the growth powder stick to your cutting. Push the cut end of the cutting into the soil in the center of the pot. Add more potting mix to the top of the soil to help hold the cutting in place. Pack the soil down around the cutting to make sure that it doesn't move or shift as the roots grow. Pushing the cutting 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) into the soil will give the roots enough room to grow. to support large cuttings. If your cutting is too large and falling over, you can use a stake to keep it straight in the pot. Plant a stake deep into the soil in the pot. Then, attach the stake to the cutting with wire or string. This will help hold the cutting in place as the roots form. It typically takes a plumeria 4-8 weeks to take root. Place the pot on a seedling mat to increase soil temperature and encourage the roots to grow. You’ll know that it’s growing when you start to see new buds grow on the top of the cutting. Plumeria should be kept in temperatures above 60 °F (16 °C).

One-sentence summary -- Purchase a 1 gallon (3.8 l) or larger pot for each cutting. Fill a pot with 2 parts perlite and 1 part fast-draining potting soil. Pour water on the soil to dampen it. Dip the tip of the cutting into root growth hormone, if desired. Push the cutting 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) into the soil in the pot. Add stakes Put the plumeria in a warm place and wait for it to take root.
