Milla Jovovich is a 37 year old actress and model born in the former Soviet Ukraine. Her father, Bogic Jovivic is a Serbian pediatrician and her mother, Galina Jovovich is a former Russian actress. Her paternal great-grandfather was a flag-bearer for the Vasojevii clan and an officer in the guard of King Nicholas I of Montenegro; Milla was named after his wife Milica. Her paternal grandfather was also connected to the military, read more at wikipedia. At age five, Millas family left the Soviet Union for London then moving to America and finally settling in Los Angeles. Millas parents soon divorced after arriving in America. Millas mother struggled to find acting work in the US, so she and Bogic resorted to providing housekeeping services for Hollywood elite director Brian De Palma (and other Hollywood homes) to get by. Even then, Milla showed a knack for attracting the attention of powerful lensmen; she appears in some of De Palma's old home movies, frolicking in the pool. In the past Milla has candidly described her mother as "pushy". In a sense, Galina lived out her own ambitions vicariously through her daughter. She enrolled Milla in her first drama class when she was 9. Milla shot her first horror scene when she was 10, in a movie that was never completed: She played a little girl molested both by her father and the devil. In the absence of a special-effects budget, her mother improvised as the Antichrist. "My mom was Satan, which is true in a lot of respects," she says. Then: "But I love her anyway." Source Millas father was arrested and sentenced to 20 years for participating in health-insurance fraud. This was no run-of-the-mill fraud - it was reportedly the biggest in American history, involving more than $1 billion in claims. Bogich pleaded guilty to 7 fraud-related counts and was sentenced to 20 years in prison "I don't want to spill my sob story to the world." "A lot of my history is based on survival," she says. "I mean, it's sort of the Russian way of thinking."" At age 12 she had already been taken out of school to focus on modelling, but began auditioning at age 9 and was handled by child modelling agency, Prima Modelling Agency. Illuminist photographer Richard Avedon noticed her at age 11 (he took the Nastassja Kinski snake photo I've posted several times; photographed Marilyn Monroe, George Bush Snr etc) and she was then included in his "The most unforgettable women in the world wear REVLON" advertising campaign pictured above (he was the head of marketing at Revlon at the time). The models not looking particularly happy to say the least. Calling an 11 year old girl an "unforgettable woman" seems inappropriate to me, and has clear sexual maturity connotations that should not be associated with an 11 year old girl. Never mind dolling her up to be used as an object to sell cosmetic product. The reference to forgetting may also be euphemistic of programming (being dissociative/amnesia/highly "forgetful"); but if that is reading too much into it then their 'dead', expressionless, tranced looking faces is perhaps indicative of programming. The magazine wanted to remove Milla when they found out she was only 11 years old but Avedon threatened to prevent them from using any of his photographs in the future so they caved to the Illuminist tool.

A photograph of "elite" photographer Richard Avedon, covering his right eye in what I am sure is an entirely coincidental pose...

Above Milla appears to be wearing magickal pentacles in this shoot from 1990 (14).

Below comes from Rolling Stone magazine 1990 (so at the oldest 14).

let you alone let you alone all the crazy people let you alone all the crazy people secret society secret society..."

Jesus has risen to no surprise Even he would martyr his momma to ride to hell between those thighs Pressure is building at the base of my spine If I've got to sin to see you again Then I'm gonna lie lie lie She'll make you cry Please suck me dry

She'll lie lie lie PRAY! (4x)

She'll lie lie lie PRAY! (5x) pray...PRAY!...pray...PRAY!...pray... PRAY!...pray

First of all dissociation is shown (this is a speculative interpretation) as a sleeping Mila goes 'out of body' and spins round, transforming into a little girl (Milla as a child/child alter/memory fragment) who also spins (showing it's herself) and then dances with an older man playing the violin, presumably supposed to represent her father, as an adult Milla looks in on the scene looking sad.

The second, black and white version of this song has symbolic themes in it as she hallucinates seeing herself sitting at a table, a cat eating bugs, a few all seeing eyes, disorientation, tarantula (related to spider tortures), death waiting in her bedroom with a mirror over his face, Milla appears to be trying to go through a mirror and a few other relevant scenes.

"Spin doctor" redirects here. For the rock band, see Spin Doctors.

In public relations, spin is a form of propaganda, achieved through providing an interpretation of an event or campaign to persuade public opinion in favor or against a certain organization or public figure. While traditional public relations may also rely on creative presentation of the facts, "spin" often implies disingenuous, deceptive and/or highly manipulative tactics.[1]

Politicians are often accused by their opponents of claiming to be honest and seek the truth while using spin tactics to manipulate public opinion. Because of the frequent association between spin and press conferences (especially government press conferences), the room in which these take place is sometimes described as a spin room. A group of people who develop spin may be referred to as "spin doctors" who engage in "spin doctoring" for the person or group that hired them.[2]

Edward Bernays has been called the "Father of Spin". As Larry Tye describes in his book The Father of Spin: Edward L. Bernays and The Birth of Public Relations, Bernays was able to help tobacco and alcohol companies use techniques to make certain behaviors more socially acceptable in the 20th-century United States. Tye claims that Bernays was proud of his work as a propagandist.[3]

As information technology has increased dramatically since the end of the 20th century, commentators like Joe Trippi have advanced the theory that modern internet activism spells the end for political spin. By providing immediate counterpoint to every point a "spin doctor" can come up with, this theory suggests, the omnipresence of the internet in some societies will inevitably lead to a reduction in the effectiveness of spin.[4]

The techniques of spin include:

For years businesses have used fake or misleading customer testimonials by editing/spinning a customers clients to reflect a much more satisfied experience than was actually the case. In 2009 the Federal Trade Commission updated their laws to include measures to prohibit this type of "spinning" and have been enforcing these laws as of late. Additionally, over the past 5 to 6 years several companies have arisen that verify the authenticity of the testimonials businesses present on the marketing materials in an effort to convince one to become a customer.

Another spin technique involves a delay in the release of bad news so it can be hidden in the shadow of more important or favorable news or events.

Press Release NanoFocus AG

NanoFocus develops the new generation of high-speed 3D sensors

HICOS3D project for the development of a confocal 3D sensor system for inline production control

NanoFocus AG, developer and manufacturer of 3D surface metrology located in Oberhausen, Germany, launched its HICOS3D project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). The aim of HICOS3D is to develop the world's fastest high-precision sensor system for integrated 3D quality control of complex microelectronic and micromechanical, mechatronic or optical components. Until the project's conclusion in 2016, the BMBF will fund the project with an overall amount of 800,000 euros.

Due to the rapidly growing integration density required for modern smartphones, tablets or other mobile devices, the dimensions of electronic interconnections, the so-called bumps, will reduce to less than 20 m within the next years., There are currently no inspection systems on the market that able to sufficiently fulfill the precision as well as the speed requirements for these future bump sizes. The goal of the HICOS3D project is to close this gap.

To overcome the challenges of these future industrial requirements, a high precision and high-speed optical sensor for the integrated 3D process and quality control of complex microelectronic, mechatronic or medical products will be developed by the technology company NanoFocus AG with EPCOS as industry partner and user of optical inspection systems. Compared to the currently fastest optical 3D sensor, the new high-speed sensor system will significantly increase the resolution and measurement speed, which will lead to higher performance by a factor of 12.

'With EPCOS, a manufacturer of electronic components, modules and systems, we were able to win an ambitious user and strong industry partner for the HICOS3D project to test the next generation of our established high-speed surface metrology under the conditions of large-scale production', explains Juergen Valentin, CTO of NanoFocus AG. 'The jointly developed high-precision 3D sensor system will make an important contribution to the quality control in production processes as well as to the development of new complex and highly integrated components.'

The HICOS3D project (grant number: 13N12861) was launched September 1, 2013, by NanoFocus AG at its headquarters in Oberhausen, Germany. It is BMBF-funded with an overall of 800,000 euros within the scope of the funding initiative 'KMU-innovativ: Optische Technologien' and as part of the 'Photonik Forschung Deutschland' program until the project's conclusion on August 31, 2016.
