Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find out your state's private bail bond policy. Gain information pertaining to being a bail bondsman in your state. Complete any pre-licensing courses or requirements.

Answer: Check to see if the state where you plan to work as a bail bondsman allows private bail bonds for posting bail. Some states do not allow private bonds, and a few other states have special guidelines regarding private bonds. Check with your state's Department of Insurance to find out your state's policies. States, such as Illinois, Kentucky, Oregon, and Wisconsin do not allow commercial bail. Massachusetts allows it but has rigorous requirements for new bail bondsmen when it comes to licensing. Texas and Georgia also have special guidelines pertaining to bail bondsmen. Each state may have different rules and regulations for licensing. Even if you are already licensed in one state, do not assume you can operate in another. Most states only require a high school diploma as a prerequisite to becoming a bail bondsman, but an associate's, bachelor's, or master's degree in finance, business, economics, or law would be helpful.  You may not be able to be a bail bondsman if you have a felony conviction on your criminal record, so expect a background check. In states where there is no certification or licensing of bondsman, a felony conviction does not preclude your from becoming a bail bondsman, though it may still be difficult to find a firm that will hire you.  Ask your state's State Department of Insurance for information about bail bondsman schools and licensing requirements. Keep in mind that while there can be a lot of benefits to being a bail bondsman—mostly having to do with the financial gain—there is also considerable risk. If you serve as the recovery agent for offenders who do not report to their court dates, you could risk violent encounters. Some bail bondsman hire bounty hunters from outside their business for this reason. You may also be held accountable for the balance of bail fees should a client miss his or her court date. Your state may require you to complete a pre-licensing course in order to be eligible to become a bail bondsman. Such courses are designed to help with preparation for the licensing exam and the rest of the licensing process. Again, your state's Department of Insurance should be able to give you the information you need about pre-licensing courses or requirements. Your state may offer but not require a pre-licensing course, but it is a good idea to complete it anyway.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Construct your front wheels. Attach the wheel assembly of your car to the front end. Construct your rear wheel assembly with half axles. Give your rear wheels enough clearance from the bed of the truck. Attach your rear tire assembly and add wheels to the axles.

Answer: On a 2 x 4 axle piece, first attach a 2 x 2 block. On top of this block, add a 2 x 2 flat piece, and atop that add a 2 x 2 spinning piece. This will allow the front wheels of your car can turn left and right. Now you can press your wheels onto the circular axles on the outside of the 2 x 4 axle piece. Make sure the studs of your spinning piece is lined up like a normal block to make sure its studs attach to the bottom of your front end. Then: Attach the wheel assembly so the wheels stick out under the half circles of the fenders. You're going to need to fashion two 2 x 2 half axles into a single piece to give the rear wheels of your truck more width. Use a 2 x 2 piece attached to the underside of the two half axles to create one 2 x 4 axle. You can do this by first adding a 2 x 4 block to the top of your rear axle. Then on the 2 x 4 block, add two 2 x 2 pieces, or a single 2 x 4 piece, so that all piece form flat sides. Now you can attach your rear wheel assembly toward the back of your truck. Then push your wheels onto the rear axle to finish the assembly.  Attach your wheels so the back edge of your connecting block is beneath the fourth stud from the rear of the bed of your truck. You might also experiment with rear wheel placement to find what looks best for you. Do not attach your wheel assembly to the very back of the underside of the bed of your truck; you will need some space to attach the hitch of your truck.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a rough sketch. Find the light source. Consider your colors. Look at the movement of your subject.

Answer: Use a hard pencil to create a light sketch of your subject. You can do this directly onto the canvas or onto tracing paper, and transfer it using a carbon copy. When you’re drawing your subject, keep in mind the composition and use of negative space.  Composition is the placement of items on the canvas. Choose the best placement so that the eye is drawn around the entirety of the canvas, rather than left to linger on a single spot. Negative space is the space around an object. If you are using an item in real life and are drawing it onto your canvas, draw difficult areas by looking at the space around the figure rather than at the figure itself. Consider what you will fill the negative space with once you start the painting in order to make your subject pop. Make note of overlapping figures, as these add depth to your composition. If your subject doesn’t have any overlapping shapes, consider rearranging until you do. This will add realism to your painting. To create a realistic painting, you must have obvious patches of light and dark. Look at your subject and determine the angle at which the light is coming from, and where shadows and highlights are located.  All light sources cast shadows, but if they are directly above the subject it can be difficult to see them. Try moving your light or your subject so that the shadows and highlights are more obvious. You may not have incredibly dark shadows or incredibly bright highlights. In fact, you likely will have a range of values that are all very near each other. Don’t be concerned if your light source isn’t creating a strong definition of shadows and highlights. For new painters, it is often very difficult to match the colors of their subject to the colors they mix with their paint. This is because the brain provides an idealized color value; you see the sky is blue, so you mix blue paint, only to realize that your paint is much brighter and colorful than the actual sky. The trick is to get past the symbols of color our brain uses, and examine the actual colors being used. This will change the brightness of your paints.  A painting set at night will be darker and richer than one during the day, which is most likely brighter. Check the color of the light source; on a bright sunny day, your subject will have a golden glow. On a gray day, the light is diffused through the clouds giving your subject a gray tint. You may also have actual colored lights - such as neon signs or tinted light bulbs - that affect the colors of your subject. Are you painting a still life with little to no movement? Or is your figure in a field on a windy day, creating a lot of motion? Paying attention to the movement of your subject is important for planning your brush strokes. Realistic paintings have brush strokes that create movement, or a lack thereof.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Curl your hair with a sock or ribbon. Insert hair curlers Imitate rollers with homemade methods.

Answer:
Find a sock for waves, or a ribbon for smaller curls. Arrange your hair as follows:  Section your hair into several parts. Begin a pigtail with each one. Halfway down each pigtail, separate it into two lengths of hair. Wrap the two lengths of hair around the sock or ribbon, in an over-under helix pattern. Apply hairspray and leave in overnight. . This is what hair curlers were made for, after all. Wrap a small section of hair tightly around each roller, and leave in overnight. Check out this article for more detailed information. You can make your own hair curlers by wrapping your hair around strips of cloth from an old, cotton T-shirt or around plastic straws (for tight ringlets). Wrap more loosely than you would with curlers, and use larger sections of hair. This gives more of a wavy look than full-on curls. You can even wrap the hair around your finger, then secure with bobby pins before pulling your finger out. Take care not to poke yourself.
