INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Beetles have wings, but they are covered by 2 hard wing coverings. This is what gives a beetle its distinctive hard-shelled look. The hardened wing coverings on a beetle's back are also the reason why a beetle will make a crunching sound if you accidentally step on one. If the insect is a beetle, its wings should not be visible unless the coverings are lifted up and the wings are extended. Beetles have sharp mandibles (chewing mouthparts) so they can consume other insects, plant matter, fungus, and decaying plants and animals. Look at the underside of the insect's mouth to see if they have sharp-looking mouthparts. If the insect has a long, straw-like protrusion, then it is not a beetle. Beetles have 6 legs distributed between their front and back body segments. When they are in their larval stage, the legs are all on the front of a beetle's body. Otherwise, the legs are spread between the front and back segments. Count the insect's legs and check their location to determine if it is a beetle. If the insect has 4 legs, 8 legs, or more, then it is not a beetle.

SUMMARY: Look for 2 hard wing coverings on the insect's back. Check for chewing mouth parts on the underside of its head. See if the insect has 6 legs.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Popular clothing lines can be identified by signature logos. If you do not already have one, design a logo that is unique and personal. Choose an image that is important to you, letters that identify you, or an emblem that corresponds to what your clothing line is about. For instance, if a four leaf clover is a personal symbol of luck for you, it may serve as an excellent logo for your brand. Associate your clothing with a particular aesthetic appeal. Make this a running theme for your brand. Plan photo shoots and promotional events that reflect this theme. For instance, if your clothing is well-suited for outdoor sports and activities, choose trees and nature as a common aesthetic feature and hold photo shoots and events outdoors. In today's world, even amateur photographers can take beautiful pictures with their smartphones, using apps and filters. Take photos of your clothing on a mannequin, dress form, or live model, so that online customers can see how the garment fits. Adjust the color balance, brightness and contrast of your photos to get the best possible results. Download a free photo editing app for your smartphone, to touch up your pictures. Take wide angle shots so that you can crop the photos afterwards. Take pictures of each color variation of the items. If you clothing features special designs or embellishments, add additional close up photos of these details. Post the photos on your website, social media accounts, and advertisements to promote your brand. Fashion shows are a great way to advertise your designs in a fun, interactive way. These events also attract professionals in the fashion industry, along with other fashion enthusiasts. To attract a greater crowd and help a good cause, hold your fashion show as a benefit for a local charity, to raise money and awareness for a worthy cause, while showcasing your work. Promote your fashion show on social media sites to spread the word quickly and inexpensively. A press kit is an informative presentation about your company that is sent to media and retailers to boost your design profile. The kit can be printed and sent by mail, hand delivered, or sent online as a PDF document. The press kit should feature a story page describing how your clothing line got started, as well as: A personal note from the clothing line's creator and designer A condensed version of the online "lookbook", featuring a few select designs Press about your clothing line, if any already exists (e.g. articles or interviews) Quotes from the creator and designer about their clothing line that media sources can easily use in articles A FAQ (frequently asked questions) section addressing common inquiries about the clothing line Links to or listing of all of the clothing line's social media accounts Updated contact information High quality photos interspersed throughout the press kit After you send out press kits to different publications, you may receive requests for sample clothing from the line. Download a fashion inventory software such as Fashion GPS that will let you print out loan forms for these publications to sign, guaranteeing that the sample will be returned by a specific date and in good condition. Send out samples after receiving the signed form back. Keep track of your samples with fashion inventory software or a simple Excel spreadsheet.

SUMMARY: Create a unique logo. Create a unique visual theme. Take photos of your clothing. Hold a fashion show. Create a printed or electronic press kit. Mail samples to fashion publications upon request.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It can be hard working up the nerve to talk to your crush. Try sending them a text or an instant message instead. Keep the first message brief and light -- send them a funny picture or link, or think of a question they would know the answer to. If they continue the conversation, you can gradually write longer messages. Don't reference things that you have no obvious reason for knowing about them. For instance, you wouldn't want to start the conversation by sending them a picture of an adorable koala if they've never actually told you they like koalas. However, if they have bright red hair, you could send them a silly article like "Why People with Red Hair Are Smarter Than Anyone Else." Always wait for a response before sending another message. It's easy to freeze when you finally get the opportunity to talk to your crush, so you might want to think about what you'll say beforehand. Be careful not to plan things out too much, though -- you might end up sounding like you're reciting something you've rehearsed, and you could get thrown off if the conversation doesn't go exactly how you imagined it. After all, it's entirely possible that your crush likes you back, in which case they may be just as nervous about the conversation as you are. Instead of focusing on whether or not you'll be able to make a good impression, just remember that they might be trying to get up the nerve to talk to you too. It can be intimidating to start a conversation with your crush, but there's no better way to find out if they're a good match for you. Just think of it like any other conversation: you can start by talking about a neutral subject that you have in common, like homework, the weather, or a local sports team. If that goes well, ask them a question or two about themselves to keep the conversation going. If it seems like the conversation is going well and you want to keep your crush talking, ask them questions. It helps to ask a simple question and then follow that with some related questions. For instance, if you ask your crush what their favorite movie is and they say The Avengers, you can ask if they've seen the latest Marvel movie or what their favorite character is.

SUMMARY:
Start with a text conversation if you're too shy to speak up in person. Have a rough idea of what you're going to say ahead of time. Keep in mind they may be nervous too. Start a conversation about something you have in common. Ask questions to keep the conversation going.
