Question: Problem: Article: If the old window didn’t come out smoothly, there may be paint remnants and loose caulk or expanding foam stuck to the window jambs. Run a paint scraper along the interior and exterior surfaces of the door jamb. Keep the scraper at about a 30°angle and apply firm pressure to scrape the jambs clean. Close and lock the window sashes on the replacement window. Set the new window in the opening to verify that your earlier measurements were correct and the window fits snugly in the opening. Then, remove the window from the opening in your wall. If the replacement window doesn’t fit correctly, return it to the hardware or home-improvement store and purchase the correct size. You may find that there are empty cavities on either side of the window frame once you’ve pulled out the old window and removed the cords and weights. If this is the case, stuff fiberglass insulation into these gaps to prevent cold air from building up inside your walls. If you don’t have fiberglass insulation already on hand, you can purchase it by the foot at a local hardware or home-improvement store. to the inside and outside edges of the stool. Visit your local hardware store and purchase 1 tube of professional-grade exterior paintable caulk. Run a thin, even bead of caulk along the edges of the stool where it meets the window apron and the window sill. Also apply caulk to the outside blind-stops and along the top of the opening's header. Caulk will keep the stool of the window from being damaged by water drops. It will also prevent drafts from entering.
Summary: Scrape off any loose paint or stain. Make sure that your replacement window fits in the frame. Fill empty weight cavities with fiberglass insulation. Apply caulk

Problem: Article: Many employers require their software engineers to earn at least an associate’s degree or certificate in a relevant field. A lot of software engineers earn their degrees in computer science, but other popular areas of study include business management, computer engineering, and mathematics. To be most competitive, aim to earn a bachelor’s degree in a particular field instead of just an associate’s. Software engineers need to have an in-depth understanding of how software is developed so that they can expand, re-create, or adapt that software to changing systems and needs. You can learn these languages through online tutorials, college courses, or a coding boot camp.  You can also build and develop these skills through an entry-level software development position, if you have the skills to work in such a position. Javascript, Python, and C++ are all popular programming languages that would be particularly useful for a software engineer to know. Software engineers often play a specialized role as part of a team of other engineers and developers. Examples of specialized roles include back-end engineer, front-end engineer, operations engineer, and test engineer.  Back-end engineers spend most of their time working on the services and algorithms that form the core of a particular system and play a vital role in how that system works. Front-end engineers focus on user interface and making the services that back-end engineers write accessible to the user. Operations engineers ensure that the infrastructure of a system is reliable and running at all times. Test engineers build systems that test the code that other engineers have written to make sure it’s fully reliable and running correctly. Work an internship or an entry-level position, if possible, developing software and writing code to continue building your technical skills in a professional environment. Most employers looking to hire a software engineer will require some professional experience other than side projects, so this is very important for starting a career as an engineer. There are some entry-level software engineer positions that require little or no prior job experience, but these are relatively rare. Being a software engineer doesn’t just require good technical skills; it also requires that you be able to work effectively as part of a team. Take a job that involves a lot of teamwork and project management in order to build these soft skills and make you a more competitive applicant. For best results, take this type of job at a software development company or as part of a team that helps develop software. Search job boards and listings for a job whose criteria specifically mentions the specialization you chose for yourself. Applying for this type of job will give you the best chance of being hired.
Summary: Get a secondary degree in computer science or engineering. Make sure you’re fluent in HTML, CSS, and a programming language. Decide on a specialization that you want to pursue. Gain work experience with software development and programming. Build your collaboration and leadership skills. Apply for an engineering job in your specialization.

Problem: Article: The basic idea of skating backward is easy – you push the outsides of your skates forward and out, curve them back to the center of your body and repeat. If your skates could draw on the ice they would paint curvy waves, like a child's drawing of the ocean, across the surface. Think of each skate making an “S” shape as you move backward You cannot skate backward if you are standing up straight. Bend your knees slightly so that your butt drops closer to the ice. Your torso should be upright like you were sitting in a chair.  As you get better at it, you should be able to lift each skate and put it back down comfortably, but at first, it's to keep them on the ice. It is easiest to use the wall or a hockey stick for balance as you start. Your skates will be pointing directly ahead of you and your shoulders in a straight line over your ankles. This is your "center" as you skate backward. With your skates shoulder-width apart, you have the power and strength needed. Hold onto the wall with both hands for balance. Focus on keeping your knees bent and back straight as you get used to moving backward. If it is more comfortable for you, lean on a hockey stick for stability. If you don't have a hockey stick, rest your hands on your knees. Slowly turn your toes to face each other and you’ll feel your feet start to separate as your skates move outward. Think of skating backward as leading with your heels -- as you toes turn inward, you heels turn out to your left and right, and the rest of your skate follows.  This does not need to be a big angle. Even slightly angling your feet will work. This is the beginning of your "S" shape. This is usually where people feel the most uncomfortable -- your legs are splitting apart, and they will keep moving apart as long as your toes are pointing in. Turn your skates too so that your heels point back towards your body. As you do you will feel your legs coming back together. Again, this does not need to be a large angle. Just turn your feet enough so that you feel your legs gliding back together. With your heels turned back to the center, use your groin muscles to bring your skates back to the middle. While you will not bring them this close, imagine you are trying to click your heels together.  This is the middle point of your "S." Focus on keeping your knees bent – this will help you with the power and flexibility needed to control your skates. When you reach your starting position, feet roughly shoulder-width apart, it's time to repeat your curve. Turn your feet so that your toes face inward again, then let them start to glide back out to the side. Pull them in again and repeat -- these are the "S" shaped curves that you need to make. One of the most common mistakes people make is leaning too far forward, with their bodies over their toes. Focus on keeping your athletic stance the entire time. A good tip is to put your hands on your knees, using them to support you and prevent you from leaning forward. The “S” curve is the simplest way to move backward on skates. Once you have some momentum, just keep repeating the “S” shape to skate backward, working on transitioning smoothly through each part.  Start along the wall – knees bent and back straight. Push off the wall to gain some momentum. Turn your toes in and move your feet apart. Pull your legs back together by turning your toes out and pulling in. Turn your toes to the center again as your feet approach each other. Repeat to skate backward.
Summary:
Answer: Point your toes inward and make curves with your skates to move backward. Bend your knees. Keep your skates shoulder-width apart. Push off a wall to start moving backward. Angle your toes inward as you glide backward. Angle your heels inward as your legs split apart. Use the muscles in your inner leg to pull your feet back to the center of your body. Curve your feet back to the outside. Keep your weight over your feet. Keep making “S” curves to move backward smoothly.
