Answer to Question 1

It is easier for someone who has worked on a bid estimate to administer construction contracts than someone who has recently been assigned to work on a project because the person that helped develop the bid proposal would be intimately familiar with the terms, conditions, plans, and specifications as a result of them analyzing these in order to prepare the bid estimate proposal.

Answer to Question 2

Contracts do not have to be written by lawyers. Members of engineering and construction firms either write their own contracts or they purchase standard contracts through professional or trade organizations. Writing construction contracts requires familiarity with construction operations, methods, and materials all of which lawyers may not be familiar with; therefore, engineers typically write construction contracts for owners.

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.

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.
