Answer to Question 1

Booking involves documenting who was arrested, the time of the arrest, and the offense involved.

Answer to Question 2

Once arrested and booked, the suspect is then brought before a magistrate or judge in what is known as the initial appearance.

The initial appearance is designed to serve a number of purposes. In a misdemeanor case, such as a minor in possession, the trial may take place at this stage. In a more serious case, however, the accused will be advised of:

 The reason he or she is being detained (notification of formal charges often comes later at arraignment)
 His or her protection against self-incrimination
 His or her right to appointed counsel, if necessary

The judge may also set bail at the initial appearance, but the bail determination often requires a separate hearing.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
