Highest-grossing films

These are the top grossing films that were released in 2010.

Toy Story 3 and Alice in Wonderland both grossed more than $1 billion, marking the first time that two films grossed more than $1 billion at the box office in the same year. Even more impressively, both films were released by the same studio—Walt Disney Pictures. Toy Story 3 is the first animated film to gross $1 billion, and is the third highest-grossing animated film ever worldwide (behind Frozen and Minions). Two other films—Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Inception—are also among the 50 highest-grossing films of all time. This is also the first time that five animated films have been present in the Top 10 highest-grossing films of the year, and two of them are in the Top 5. The year saw four films debut with more than $100 million, breaking the opening record of 2007 with three releases, and 2004 with two releases.

Return (band)

Return is a Norwegian rock band from Stange, Hedmark. The band started in 1980, and was in its prime in the late 1980- and early 1990-. In this period they had several singles on the Norwegian hit charts and were among the bestselling bands in the country. In 1993 the band took a break, but came back in 2001 with a collection and some gigs. In 2005 they released a new studio album, and in 2008 they released another collection which also includes a DVD with shots from a concert in Hamar in 2007.

The band's musical style has gone through minimal changes through almost three decades; they've kept most of the typical 80s rock, with a substantial amount of power ballads.

The band have hits in their native Norway and in other countries such as Switzerland.

The band

In addition, Magnus Østvang has contributed on synthesizer and chorus. Henning Ramseth was for a longer period with the band as a supplement musician on keyboards and guitar (Henning Ramseth has his own band, Ram-Zet).

Plot

John Blackwell (Joe Lando) appears on Cassie's (Britt Robertson) doorstep telling her that he is her father and that he came because he felt her energy when she used the medallion. He asks her not to tell anyone that he is back and to meet him later to talk. Cassie tells Adam (Thomas Dekker) despite her father's request and Adam tells Cassie to not meet him alone because he doesn't trust him after everything they heard about him.

Cassie meets her father but when he asks for the medallion she realizes that he is here for the medallion and not for her. Saying that Adam was right about him, she leaves. After getting into her car the leader of the witch hunters, Eben (Sammi Rotibi), drugs her and takes her away.

Jake (Chris Zylka) is looking for Cassie but he can't find her. Instead, he meets Blackwell. Suspecting that Cassie might be a captive of the witch hunters, Jake runs to find them and trade her life for Blackwell's. Eben is surprised that Blackwell is alive and he accepts the offer. He does not kill Cassie but he does cast a spell on her.

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.
