Skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current to flow towards the perimeter of a conductor and leave the center part of the conductor without (or barely) any electricity flow.
This effect increases as frequency increases.
Utility frequency, line frequency or mains frequency is the frequency level of the AC electricity used in transmission and distribution from electricity generation sources to customers.
The world's two major utility frequencies are 50 Hz (most, but not all, of the Eastern hemisphere) and 60 Hz (most, but not all, of the Western hemisphere).
Many electric railways in Europe use a frequency of 16.7 Hz (one third of 50 Hz).
Early electric railways sometimes used 25 Hz (half of 50 Hz).
New electric railways usually use the standard mains frequency of 50 Hz.
Some lines in the northeast United States still use 25 Hz.

Power system harmonics are the harmonic contents from the utility frequency.
Harmonics are one kind of distortion to a voltage or current's waveform.
This distortion is produced by non-linear devices connected to the power system.
Since equipment is made to work at the utility frequency, harmonics can make it work wrong.
This is one kind of power quality problem.
It increases heating in power equipment.

Coal mining is the process of getting coal out of the ground.
It is part of the mining industry.
Coal is used as a resource for making electricity.
Surface mining is done when the coal is near the surface.
Coal miners remove the soil above the coal.
The coal can then be removed without the coal miners having to go deep underground..
Underground mining is when the coal is farther underground, making it too expensive to remove soil.
In this process, coal miners and all of the coal mining equipment are brought deep underground and coal is carried up out of the ground.
This is especially dangerous because of fires, explosions, and poison gas in coal mines.
Before coal can be used, it must be processed in a coal processing plant.
It is made smaller using a sizer and crusher.
Parts that might be harmful to any equipment which will use the coal later on, such as the screening for metallic parts inside the mined coal.
Coal is delivered to customers in several ways.
Trucks, conveyors, trains and ships transport coal to be used in factories and power plants.

International PNR Sharing Agreements
European Union to United States
European Union to Australia
On January 16, 2004, the Article 29 Working Party released their Opinion 1/2004 (WP85) on the level of PNR protection ensured in Australia for the transmission of Passenger Name Record data from airlines.
Customs applies a general policy of non retention for these data.
For those 0.05% to 0.1% of passengers who are referred to Customs for further evaluation, the airline PNR data are temporarily retained, but not stored, pending resolution of the border evaluation.
After resolution, their PNR data are erased from the PC of the Customs PAU officer concerned and are not entered into Australian databases.

The resulting bodies were the Directorate-General for Justice (European Commission) and the Directorate-General for Home Affairs (European Commission).
The EDPS responded on the 5th of May in Letter 0420 D845:
I am writing to you in reply to your letter of 4 May concerning the two draft Proposals for Council Decisions on (i) the conclusion and (ii) the signature of the Agreement between the European Union and Australia on the processing and transfer of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data by air carriers to the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service.
We understand that the consultation of the EDPS takes place in the context of a fast track procedure.
However, we regret that the time available for us to analyse the Proposal is reduced to a single day.
Such a deadline precludes the EDPS from being able to exercise its competences in an appropriate way, even in the context of a file which we have been closely following since 2007.

Pope John XV (???
− March 996) was pope of the Roman Catholic Church from August 985 to his death in 996.
During his time as pope, there was a dispute that arose over the deposition in 991 of Arnulf, Archbishop of Reims.
Arnulf was made archbishop of Reims in 988 by Hugh Capet of France.
Arnulf was the nephew of the King's bitter rival, Charles of Lorraine and considered Arnulf a turncoat.
He demanded his deposition by John XV.
Hugh Capet captured both Charles and Archbishop Arnulf and convoked a synod at Reims in June 991.
He deposed Arnulf and chose as his successor Abbot Gerbert of Aurillac who would later be known as Pope Silvester II.
"Are any bold enough to maintain that the priests of the Lord all over the world are to take their law from monsters of guilt like these—men branded with ignominy, illiterate men, and ignorant alike of things human and divine?
If, holy fathers, we are bound to weigh in the balance the lives, the morals, and the attainments of the humblest candidate for the priestly office, how much more ought we to look to the fitness of him who aspires to be the Lord and Master of all priests!
Yet how would it fare with us, if it should happen that the man the most deficient in all these virtues, unworthy of the lowest place in the priesthood, should be chosen to fill the highest place of all?
What would you say of such a one, when you see him sitting upon the throne glittering in purple and gold?
Must he not be the "Antichrist, sitting in the temple of God and showing himself as God"?

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States.
Even though it falls on a Friday, which is the last day before the weekend, and comes right after Thanksgiving Thursday, it is not a federal holiday.
There are some states, however, that observe this day instead of Columbus Day for workers of the state government.
Many Americans see Black Friday as the official beginning of the Christmas holiday season, a time when many people go shopping for gifts to give to their family and friends on Christmas Day.
On Black Friday, many stores have big sales, and it is common to see long lines of people waiting outside stores and in malls to get the best deals first before they run out.
Because of this, stores usually open around 6 am in the morning or later.
Some stores, though, started opening at 5 am and even 4 am in the late 20th century.
Now, a few stores even open at midnight.
Shoppers like to stay out all day to get what they need, making Black Friday the busiest shopping day of the year.
It traditionally symbolises bravery, valour, strength, and royalty.
They may appear as a charge on the shield or as a crest.
They are described in the blazon (heraldic description) by their tincture (color) and attitude (position).
Sometimes the teeth and claws of a lion can be colored differently from the rest of its body; it is said to be "armed" of that color (e.g. "A lion Or armed gules" is a gold lion with red teeth and claws).
Sometimes the tail is even described, if it is shown in an unusual way.
One reason why lions are shown in so many different ways is because when heraldry developed, a lot of people wanted a lion on their coat of arms, but no two coats of arms can be the same.
The purpose of heraldry in the Middle Ages was to identify people with bold images over the outside of their armour.
Since a lot of people started putting lions on their coats of arms, they placed them in a lot of different positions and in every color used in heraldry.
In France and Germany, they even made patterns of colors on some of their lions, as if they were painted.
French heralds refer to lions in the walking positions as leopards, but this term is seldom used by British heralds.
Although there are many attitudes or positions now used in heraldry, very few of these were known to medieval heralds, who simply wanted to draw a lion to fill the space provided on the shield.
The following table describes the different attitudes of heraldic lions:
Other terms are used to describe the lion's position in further detail.
The lion's head is normally seen in agreement with the overall position, (facing left) unless otherwise stated.
If a lion's whole body is turned to face right, he is to sinister or contourné.
If his whole body faces the viewer, he is affronté.
If his head only faces the viewer he is guardant or gardant, and if he looks back over his shoulder (body facing left but head turned to face right) he is regardant.
These words follow the main description of position, and then the lion is further described as armed (teeth and claws) of another color, if another color is used.
And finally, the tail may be described if it is unusual.
A lion (or other beast) coward carries its tail between its hind legs.
The tail also may be nowed (knotted), or the lion may be queue fourchée (forked tail) or double-queued (two tails).

Monkwearmouth–Jarrow was a combination of two English monasteries run as a single community.
Both were founded by Benedict Biscop.
Monkwearmouth, built first, was a magnificent example of the Roman style of architecture.
It housed one of the first stained glass works in England.
Jarrow became the center of Anglo-Saxon learning in the north of England and contained the largest  library in Anglo-Saxon England.
Bede, the great Anglo-Saxon scholar, studied, taught and wrote there.
The sister Anglo-Saxon monasteries were the UK nomination for World Heritage Site status in 2011.
In 674 Benedict Biscop, a Northumbrian nobleman, built a monastery known as Monkwearmouth.
Egfrith, King of Northumbria gave him fifty hides of land at the mouth of the River Wear.
This monastery would be dedicated to Saint Peter and came to be called St. Peter's at Monkwearmouth.
Benedict wanted his monastery to be a center of both learning and religion.
Benedict used Frankish stonemasons who he brought over to England to construct the monastery.
Monkwearmouth was the first (and Jarrow the second) church structures to be built of stone in England.
Benedict them brought over glassmakers from Frankia to fit the windows of the church and chapels with fine stained glass.
