Lubrication theory
In fluid dynamics, lubrication theory describes the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a geometry in which one dimension is significantly smaller than the others. An example is the flow above air hockey tables, where the thickness of the air layer beneath the puck is much smaller than the dimensions of the puck itself.
Internal flows are those where the fluid is fully bounded. Internal flow lubrication theory has many industrial applications because of its role in the design of fluid bearings. Here a key goal of lubrication theory is to determine the pressure distribution in the fluid volume, and hence the forces on the bearing components. The working fluid in this case is often termed a lubricant.
Free film lubrication theory is concerned with the case in which one of the surfaces containing the fluid is a free surface. In that case the position of the free surface is itself unknown, and one goal of lubrication theory is then to determine this. Surface tension may then be significant, or even dominant. Issues of wetting and dewetting then arise. For very thin films (thickness less than one micrometre), additional intermolecular forces, such as Van der Waals forces or disjoining forces, may become significant.
List of film periodicals
Film periodicals combine discussion of individual films, genres and directors with in-depth considerations of the medium and the conditions of its production and reception. Their articles contrast with film reviewing in newspapers and magazines which principally serve as a consumer guide to movies.

Violet (ship)
The Violet was a ship used to deport Acadians from Ile St Jean (Prince Edward Island) to France, as part of the Ile Saint-Jean Campaign during the Seven Years' War. The ship sank in the North Atlantic on December 12, 1758, with the loss of 280–400 lives.
The Violet was a ship of 315 tons and 8 cannons, under command of captain Benjamin Suggit.
Together with the Duke William, John, Samuel, Neptune, Ruby, Yarmouth and an other unknown ship, the Violet was part of a fleet that left on November 25 from Port-la-Joye for France. On board the Violet were some 360 Acadian civilians.
A few days later, the fleet encountered a storm which dispersed the ships. Stormy weather continued for several weeks. On December 10, the Duke William caught sight of the Violet, and discovered that she was in difficulties, taking in water fast. The Violet sank two days later with all hands lost.
According to historian Earle Lockerby, 90 passengers had already died before from the appalling conditions on board. In the following days, the Duke William and Ruby also foundered, with great loss of life.
