Answer to Question 1

Loggers fell trees either manually (chainsaw and ax) or by larger machines in such a way as to prevent damage to the
trees to be left. Once the trees are down, the loggers limb and buck the logs (remove the limbs and cut the trunk
into logs or bolts). They then skid (slide or drag) the logs to a loading site, and load them onto trucks for hauling



Answer to Question 2

Forestry technicians work with and assist professional foresters. They perform many of the same functions as foresters,
but typically do more of the physical work. They perform the work to develop, maintain, and protect the
forest and forested areas, and woodlands

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.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
