Data skimming refers to reading the personal information on an electronic chip without the knowledge of the bearer. ... The chip in the Canadian ePassport must be held within 10 centimetres of an ePassport reader to be read. Also, the data on the chip cannot be accessed until the machine-readable zone on page 2 has first been read, which means that the passport book must be open. It is therefore extremely unlikely that the data stored on the chip could be read, or skimmed, without your knowledge. 2, record 3, English, - skimming

L’écrémage de données se définit comme la lecture des renseignements personnels stockés sur une puce électronique à l’insu du titulaire du passeport. [...] La puce intégrée au passeport électronique canadien doit être tenue à moins de 10 centimètres du lecteur pour que les renseignements qu’elle renferme puissent être lus. De plus, les données que renferme la puce ne peuvent être consultées qu’une fois que la zone de lecture automatique à la page 2 a été lue, ce qui signifie que le livret de passeport doit être ouvert. Par conséquent, il est tout à fait improbable que les données stockées sur la puce soient lues (ou écrémées) à votre insu. 2, record 3, French, - %C3%A9cr%C3%A9mage

Skimboarding (or skimming) is a sport which involves riding a board on an outgoing wave. ... Unlike surfing, skimboarding starts on the beach. The skimboarder stands within running distance from the point of entry into the water with the skimboard in hand and waits for a wave. As the desired wave approaches, the skimboarder runs towards the water. Depending on conditions, the board is dropped on a thin layer of water from a receding wave or on the thicker water in front of the wave. Then he or she runs onto the board one foot at a time using a technique known as the "One-Step" while properly positioning the feet and maintaining balance towards the centre of the board. 4, record 4, English, - skimboarding
