Obsession (Sky Ferreira song)
"Obsession" is a song by American recording artist Sky Ferreira. The song was written by Justin "DJ Frank E" Franks with OneRepublic members Ryan Tedder and Jerrod Bettis, both of whom co-produced it with DJ Frank E. The song was released as a single on September 14, 2010 by Capitol Records. "Obsession" has been compared to "Rock and Roll" by Gary Glitter and "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry. The song peaked at number thirty-seven on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs. The music video for the song was directed by Marc Klasfeld, and portrays Ferreira's obsession with actor Michael Madsen.
Background and composition
"Obsession" was written and produced by Ryan Tedder, Jerrod Bettis, and DJ Frank E. Ferreira said of the song:
Following its release, "Obsession" has been featured on Now That's What I Call Music! 35, the first soundtrack to The Vampire Diaries, and the soundtrack to the 2011 romantic comedy film Larry Crowne. A remix of the song by Static Revenger was also included on Now That's What I Call Club Hits 2.
Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West
Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West is a 2005 documentary film about the perceived threat of radical Islam to Western civilization. The film makes use of extensive Arab television footage depicting Islamic radicals preaching hate speech and seeking to incite global jihad. It also draws parallels between World War II's Nazi movement and Islamism and the West's response to those threats.
Wayne Kopping of South Africa co-wrote and directed the film. Raphael Shore, a Canadian-Israeli, co-wrote and produced the film, and is the founder of The Clarion Fund, the film's distributor. The movie has received praise from conservative media personalities such as Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, but others criticized it as Islamophobic with a political agenda, and for its association with pro-Israeli groups.
Segments of the movie were broadcast on CNN Headline News and in several specials on Fox News. The movie was also screened on 30 college campuses and Capitol Hill. The unusual distribution of 28 million free Obsession DVDs as an insert in over 70 newspapers predominantly in swing states before the United States 2008 presidential election, garnered much attention, with 5 newspapers refusing to distribute the DVD. National Public Radio reported that it was unclear as to who funded Clarion's distribution of the DVD.

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.
