INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Soil type and drainage will influence how often you need to water your roses. Sandy soil will drain easily and won't retain water very well. If your garden has clay-type soil then it will retain moisture better. However, if the soil is extremely clay-heavy, you'll need to add some compost or similar horticultural material to improve it at planting time. Obviously plants need watering during hot, dry weather. But you should also be aware that wind can dry out plants a great deal, even in cold weather. Newly planted roses may be at risk of drought during a dry, windy fall or winter. As a rough guide, in extremely hot weather you should assume rose plants will need watering daily. On a standard summer day with decent heat, you will need to water every two or three days, and in warm dry weather you will only need to water about once a week. Also consider how windy it is when deciding how much to water your plants: windy weather means more water is required. Recently-planted roses still haven't developed their root structure, so if you've planted in the last few months it is especially important to water the roses regularly during dry spells even if you planted just before winter. Lack of water is the most common reason newly planted plants fail. Once established, plants will be more adept at seeking water from a wider area of soil, so you can start to ease off your watering regime after six months. Larger rose bushes will have roots spread over a wider area of soil than smaller ones. This means larger rose bushes will require more water to ensure the water reaches all of their roots. Another way to assess if roses need watering is to dig a few inches into the soil next to the plant, taking care not to damage the roots. If the soil is dry under the surface, then you need to water the rose now. If only the surface is dry, you can wait a bit longer before watering.

SUMMARY: Identify the type of soil in your garden. Consider the yearly weather conditions. Think about the age of your roses. Pay attention to the size of your rose bush. Determine how dry the soil is.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're both strong, confident individuals, then you're going to disagree sometimes. That's actually part of a healthy relationship because differences of opinion allow you to learn from one another. The key is to focus on the issues that you disagree on and not attack each other. When you're frustrated, it can be easy to resort to name-calling and low blows. Do your best to avoid sinking to that level because a confident girl probably isn't going tolerate that kind of behavior. Keep your tone of voice in mind. If you're yelling to try to get your point across, chances are your girlfriend isn't going to hear you. However, if you maintain a calm, even tone as you explain your feelings, she's much more likely to take what you're saying to heart. A confident girl is probably going to be able to express herself pretty well, so she'll have no trouble telling you how she feels or what she thinks about your relationship. For a healthy, balanced relationship, you'll need to do the same and tell the truth about how you feel. She doesn't want to have to guess how you feel about her or how committed you are to the relationship. You have to be willing to open up to her even if you aren't sure how she'll react. Holding in your feelings may only lead to bigger problems down the road. If you're feeling like your relationship isn't a priority for her or she doesn't value your opinion, tell her. She may not be aware that she's making you feel that way, so the only way to be certain is to express your feelings. If it turns out that she isn't as committed to the relationship as you are, you're better off knowing that, so you can decide whether you should move on. Being a good listener is part of developing effective communication skills, which means you shouldn't interrupt or talk over her. She's going to want a partner who takes her feelings and opinions seriously, and you can't do that if you don't hear what she's saying. If you're having trouble really processing what she's saying, try rephrasing what she's just said in your own words to ensure that you're listening and understanding what she's telling you. A confident girl doesn't have a problem owning up to her mistakes, so she's going to expect the same from you. If you've hurt her feelings or forgotten about a date, apologize and try to learn from the mistake. In a relationship between two strong, confident people, give and take is a necessity. If you make small concessions for her in a conflict or disagreement, it's more likely that she'll do the same for you, so both of you can feel like you have an equal say in the relationship. Don't keep score. Not all compromises mean that you're meeting in the middle. In some cases, you might have to concede more than she does and vice versa. If you compromise a little more than her on what to do on Friday night, that doesn't mean that she "owes" you the next time you disagree. The goal is to find a solution that makes both of you as happy as possible on a case by case basis.
Summary: Don't be afraid of conflict. Be honest. Listen carefully. Admit when you're wrong. Try to compromise.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Nevada law prohibits gun owners from aiding or permitting a child to have access to a firearm. You cannot be convicted of a violation of this law if you keep your firearms in a secured locked container. To provide additional protection, keep the container in a place where children in the household can't get to it, such as in the top of a closet. Although not required by Nevada law, disassembling or locking your firearms before storing them helps protect children. If they somehow stumble upon your firearms, they won't be able to fire them if they are locked or disassembled. You can get a safety kit with cable-style locks to protect your firearms at your local police or sheriff's department. For a list of law enforcement agencies in Nevada that have safety kits available, visit https://www.projectchildsafe.org/safety/safety-kit/Nevada. Even if you don't disassemble your firearms, make sure they're unloaded before you store them. Keep the ammunition apart from your firearms so that even if children happen to access your firearms, they can't access the ammunition. Your ammunition should also be stored in a locked container. Ammunition can be dangerous for children even if not loaded in a weapon. While Nevada law doesn't require you to store your ammunition separately from your firearms, this will keep children in your household safer. Make sure any children in your household are aware of firearms and how they should act around them. Instruct them that if they ever see a gun, even one that looks like a toy, they should not touch it and tell an adult immediately. If there are adolescents or teenagers in your household who are trained to use firearms, such as for hunting or for target practice, make sure they understand that they should never touch or use a firearm without an adult present. Discourage children from snooping around the house for guns, even if they just want to look at it. Tell them that guns are not toys.

SUMMARY:
Keep your firearms in a locked container. Disassemble or lock firearms before storing them. Store ammunition separately from your firearms. Teach your children about firearm safety.
