Skimmers are often used in conjunction with booms. A skimmer is a device that collects and removes oil from the surface of the water. Skimmers can be towed, self-propelled, moored in river currents, or even used from shore. Many types of skimmers are available for use, depending on the kind of oil spilled and the weather conditions. Weir skimmers work like a dam. Oil flows over a wall and collects on the other side. Oleophilic (oil attracting) skimmers attract oil with belts, disks, or mop chains so you can just squeeze or scrape the oil out of them. Suction skimmers work like your household vacuum cleaner.
Re: What is the age children become responsible for their salvation/ There is scripture that could be given that would seem to say 20 is the age of accountability, but I believe it is when ever you are old enough to know right from wrong and understand the gospel.

Get them on the property ladder by the age of 29 or your children might NEVER be able to buy their own house. Current generation of 25-36-year-olds split into home 'haves and have-nots'. Those that buy first home in 30s should be mortgage-free by 61.
