Answer to Question 1

 Sanjun (sung or instrumental dance music in eight-beat phrases and simple meter)
 Vacacin (non-dance music for harp alone without meter and in long, descending cycles.
 Vacacin music is used at the beginning of the wake to drive away the devil and again later to accompany the adorning of the child and the closing of the casket.

Answer to Question 2

 Wawa velorio is a ritual ceremony or wake for a deceased child.
 This widespread ritual (in rural Latin America) preserves musical traditions of the community, such as genre (type of music), traditional instruments, and dances.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

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.
