Nudity In Music Videos
The appearance of nudity in music videos has caused controversy since the late 1970s, and several explicit music videos have been censored or banned. Nudity has gained wider acceptance on European television, where audiences often view nudity and sexuality as less objectionable than the depiction of violence. In contrast, MTV, VH1 and other North American music-related television channels usually censor what they think is inappropriate and might be considered offensive to their viewers.

Motion Control
Motion control is a sub-field of automation, encompassing the systems or sub-systems involved in moving parts of machines in a controlled manner. Motion control systems are extensively used in a variety of fields for automation purposes, including precision engineering, micromanufacturing, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. The main components involved typically include a motion controller, an energy amplifier, and one or more prime movers or actuators. Motion control may be open loop or closed loop. In open loop systems, the controller sends a command through the amplifier to the prime mover or actuator, and does not know if the desired motion was actually achieved. Typical systems include stepper motor or fan control. For tighter control with more precision, a measuring device may be added to the system (usually near the end motion). When the measurement is converted to a signal that is sent back to the controller, and the controller compensates for any error, it becomes a C ...

Society (film)
''Society'' is a 1989 American body horror film directed by Brian Yuzna in his directorial debut from a screenplay by Woody Keith and Rick Fry. It stars Billy Warlock as a teenager in Beverly Hills who begins to suspect that his wealthy parents are part of a gruesome cult made up of the social elite. ''Society'' was originally conceived as a more conventional slasher, featuring a cult of social elitists who engage in human sacrifice. The screenplay was reshaped by Yuzna, who introduced body horror elements such as the reveal of the cult being a shapeshifting species that can literally feed on the lower classes, a concept he based on nightmares he had experienced. The film was shot in California in 1988 with Screaming Mad George as the special effects designer. The film screened at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival, but went unreleased in the United States until 1992. It failed commercially, though it received critical acclaim from international audiences.
