INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To create beads, you will need polymer clay in colors of your choosing, a hard and flat surface, a flat blade or craft knife, and a toothpick. Once you have created your beads, you'll also need to bake them and finish them (see part three). A piece of tile or glass works well for the hard, flat surface. Instead of the toothpick, you can also use an electric drill with a one-eighth-inch drill bit to drill holes in the beads. Stick all your beads in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes. This will allow the clay to firm up, which will make it easier to punch holes in them.

SUMMARY: Assemble your tools. Refrigerate the beads.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your own Twitter account and tweets will likely play a big part in getting a reply from your idol. Depending on who your idol is, they may or may not appreciate certain tone, language, or other elements of your tweets. Try to use language that you think your idol will most enjoy. For example, a profanity loaded tweet sent to Martha Stewart is highly unlikely to be noticed. On the other hand, tweeting your favorite comedian a rude joke might be appreciated. Always customize your tone to match the interests and image of your idol. Letting your idol know how they have helped you in your own life can make them more likely to respond. You might try letting them know about something they did or said that you found meaningful and helpful. Share how your idols actions and words have had an impact on your life to increase the chances that they will respond. For example, your idol might have inspired you to create some art or music. Maybe something your idol said got your through a difficult time. Retweeting your idol's tweets can be a great way to show how much your enjoy their content and will help to support them. If you find a tweet from your idol that you enjoy, try to retweet it. Having a history of retweeting your idol's tweets can increase the chances that they will respond to one of your own tweets. Try not to retweet everything as your own followers may not share the same appreciation of your idol. Your goal will be to catch the attention of your idol. A great way to do this is to do some research into their own personal interests. Take some time and find out some things that your idol loves and try building your tweets around those interests. By including personally interesting content for your celebrity to read you will increase your chances of being noticed. For example, your idol might love video games. Posting something about gaming might help get their attention. Try to make your tweets in-line with whatever image your idol is presenting. A large part of getting noticed by your idol on Twitter is timing. If you tweet too long after your idol does there is a lower chance of them seeing it. You will need to reply to your idol's tweets as soon as they are posted. Doing so will get your tweet higher up in the time-line and more noticeable. Keep an eye on your idols account to see when they are online. Watch for new tweets and reply as soon as you can. You can set your Twitter app to send you push notifications whenever your idol tweets. This will allow you to respond instantly without being glued to your Twitter feed.

SUMMARY: Use the right tone when tweeting. Show your appreciation. Retweet your idol's tweets. Know what your idol likes. Wait for the right time.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you work in journalism, you might be asked to compile a dossier on a person of interest in an ongoing investigation. The first step to the process is identifying the individual. Make sure you have the correct spelling of the person's first, middle, and last time. Small spelling errors can make a big difference when seeking out information. Try to find a date of birth, or at least a range of time in which the person was likely born. This makes finding certain documents easier down the road. If you're writing an article about an individual, you do not want to rehash information that's already out there. Search online and through newspapers, magazines, and tabloids for existing stories about the individual. Not only does this prevent you from publishing a redundant piece, it adds to the array of information you have on the individual. Use public records to your advantage to build your profile. Using a variety of outlets, scan public records for important information. Local records are a good start, even if the individual isn't originally from your location. Go to city hall, the county clerk's office, and any local branch of state and federal offices. Look through permits, power of attorney, liens, building permits, deeds, licenses, driving records, and anything else that turns up. Look through court records. Any history of court appearances can be found online, but you might have to go to the court house to actually view the records. Check with local police and sheriff's offices for any past criminal activity. Also check local, state, and county jail records. Some information may be hard to find, depending on your state's open record laws. You should look into the individual's employment history to check for any surprises or inconsistencies. Make direct phone calls to past and current employers. Ask for employment verification and if they ask why you're calling, simply tell them the truth. Usually, whoever you're speaking to will comply. You can see if you can get a copy of the individual's resume through past and current employers. Oftentimes, the person you're investigating will be in a professional field that requires a license. He might be a dentist or a psychiatrist, for example. Try to verify that license to check for fraud. Also, investigate every claim on his resume, such as where he went to school, grants and awards he claims to have received, and any certificates he lists. Compile a list of friends, enemies, neighbors, spouses, family members, former lovers, and other people who've had contact with the individual. Contact them and ask questions relevant to your investigation.

SUMMARY:
Identify the person being investigated. See what's been written about the person. Gather information through public records. Look up the individual's employment history. Verify any licenses. Reach out to people associated with the individual.
