Last time I told you about 10 of the least stressful jobs in the United States. How about the five scariest jobs? You probably won’t be surprised that a miner has the second scariest job, especially after what happened in Chile earlier this year. Other jobs, like a bomb squad technician and field epidemiologist, aren’t that surprising either, but have you ever thought about broadcast tower technicians? They have to climb the towers, the tallest of which (in the US) is 2,063 feet, and they have to have enough strength to climb to the top of the tower. There aren’t many safety mechanisms for them, either, so their place at number 3 isn’t so surprising after all. How about you? Do you want a scary or a safe job? (by Prof. Carmella Lieske)

Notes:
Daylight Saving Time 夏時間，サマータイム;
following:〈事〉の後で;
********************
As of Sunday, 31 October, 27 countries in the European Union set their clocks back for winter by one hour. Americans do so on November 7th. In the UK and the US between March and November, clocks are put forward by one hour in order to give people more daylight – this is referred to as Daylight Saving Time (DST). The advantages of DST are that it encourages people to do more outdoor activities such as sports and recreation. It also encourages people to go to restaurants and bars. Japan, India, and China are the only major industrialized countries that do not observe some form of daylight saving. Japan did so between 1948 and 1951 during the American occupation, but stopped following opposition from farmers. (by Prof. Simon Smith )
