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.

In many countries when a child reaches what is known as the age of majority â often 18 years old â he or she is said to be fully emancipated from parental control. This means that he or she can enjoy all the privileges and responsibilities of adulthood, such as voting, marriage and financial independence.
