Q: Shades can add a look of elegance to a window and are also useful to block out the sun and summer heat. Consider what type of look you want in your window when choosing blinds or shades.  Plastic blinds can be an economical and practical choice. Wooden plantation shutters give a look of elegance. Bamboo or cloth blinds can provide a rustic look. Choose a color that matches or compliments the color scheme on the walls of the room. The window should be an accent point but you don’t want it to clash with the other colors in the room. Many blinds can become easily tangled or damaged with heavy use. If you plan to open your blinds daily and will be adjusting the light in your window using the blinds, make sure you pick blinds that are easy to open and maintain. Blinds and window shades come with mounting hardware when they are purchased. Most blinds are mounted inside the window frame. Use a screwdriver, drill, or hammer to mount the blinds according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
A: Choose a type of shade. Coordinate with your paint colors. Consider how often you will open the blinds. Mount the blinds.

Q: Create 2 parallel swooping lines extending from the top of the rump. You can make these as long as you like and space them as far apart as you want. Spacing them further apart will make for a fuller looking tail. As you near the ends of the swooping lines, bring them in towards each other to form a pointed end. Imagine the horses tail is blowing in the wind slightly and draw it extending out from the horse’s body, or keep it in close to the horse’s body to give the impression of stillness. Position the eye just under the ear on the side of the horse’s head. Then, create a thick dot at the center if you want the horse to be looking at you. Another option is to position the dot towards the front of the circle to give the impression that the horse is looking ahead. Give the horse a simple smile with a curved line that extends from the front of its snout to about one-third of the way down it. Then, add a small circle or dot on the top edge of the snout near the end to indicate a nostril. To make it seem like the horse’s other ear is partially hidden because you’re viewing it from the side, add a second triangle beside the first one. Position this triangle slightly in front of the first one, and end it about halfway down the side. Imagine the horse’s ears are 2 mountains side-by-side and you can only see about one-third of the back mountain. Create a wavy or zigzagging line going all the way down the back of the horse’s neck. This will be its mane. You can also add a small tuft in front of its ears if you want. Then, color in the mane in whatever color you like. Fill in the tail with the same color. You can also color in the horse’s body in any color you want, such as brown, tan, black, white, or even an unconventional color, such as red, purple, or green. It’s your horse! Make it any color you want!
A: Outline the tail on the top of the rump. Make a circle with a dot in the center for an eye. Draw the mouth and nostril with a curved line and circle. Add a second triangle slightly behind the first to create another ear. Outline and fill in the mane and tail with the desired color. Finished.

Q: Gently scrub the skin with a loofa, bath sponge, or natural scrub product in order to remove dead skin and achieve an even and dark tan. Don’t rub so hard as to make your skin raw or irritated. For a natural exfoliating scrub, try coarse sea salt, granulated sugar mixed with honey, or coffee grounds mixed with olive oil. Choose a rich lotion and apply it all over your skin, focusing on spots that tend to get dry easier. Also drink plenty of water to keep your skin and entire body hydrated. This will allow your skin to get darker over time because each layer of darkened skin will not get dry and flake off as easily. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that is 15 SPF or higher, and rub it into your skin evenly and all over your body. Have a friend apply it to your back or other areas that you can’t reach easily yourself. You should apply sunscreen 30 minutes before you go outside.  Water-resistant sunscreen is great for many outdoor activities for which you’ll be getting wet or sweaty. You still need to reapply it regularly. Don’t listen to the common myth that you will tan better or faster without wearing sunscreen! Getting a sunburn from lack of sunscreen actually kills the skin cells that you are trying to darken, prohibiting you from getting a dark tan and increasing your risk of skin cancer. Buy a tanning accelerator lotion or pill to increase your tan. Use sparingly before going out in the sun, and test it for a small amount of time to make sure there are no adverse side effects.
A: Exfoliate your skin the night before. Moisturize with lotion. Wear sunscreen. Try a tanning accelerator.

Q: If you want to be a paramedic, you have to meet this basic requirement for schooling. If you're interested in being a paramedic, you should study courses related to the field, such as anatomy and physiology. Once you advance far enough in the paramedic training process, take college courses such as biology and anatomy. If you have a B.A. or have taken these courses, you will have a leg up. If you're really determined to be a paramedic right out of high school, though, there's nothing stopping you. That's right. Before you can be a paramedic, you'll need to pass a background check so you can't have any felonies in your background. Being in trouble with the law for drug use or other crimes can keep you from being a paramedic. Paramedics need to demonstrate strong character and a respect for the law. This shouldn't be a problem since you will probably be eighteen or close to it after you graduate high school anyway. Though you can work to develop the qualities you really need to be a paramedic, if you have them up front, you will be a stronger candidate and will be more mentally and physically prepared for dealing with the job. Here are the skills that you should have and develop.  Compassion. You'll have to offer emotional support to patients in extreme situations. Interpersonal skills. You'll also have to get along with your fellow team members to get the job done. Listening skills. This skill will help you understand the extent of your patients' injuries. Strength. You'll be doing plenty of lifting, bending, and kneeling for this job, so you have to be fit. Problem-solving skills. The solution to a patient's problem won't usually be obvious. Communication skills. You'll need to clearly explain procedures to a patient and to communicate and give and receive orders within your team. Though speaking Spanish or another language that is commonly spoken in your community won't guarantee you a job, it will give you a major leg up in the application process. Many paramedics do not speak a foreign language, so if you're one of the few applicants in your area who speaks a language that is common there, your resume will rise to the top.
A:
A high school diploma or a GED. Have a clean record. Be at least eighteen years old. Have the qualities of a paramedic. Speak a foreign language (optional).
