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.

Parents have the greatest influence on a child's belief about himself or herself. Letting your child know that he or she belongs, is doing well, and is contributing can help him or her develop healthy self-esteem. Keep these things in mind as you raise your child. 1  Children sense that they belong by the way their parents talk to them and act toward them. 2  Children learn about how well they are doing by how their parents react to their behavior. 3  Children learn how to work with others by learning how to cooperate within a family.
