Klinik

Klinik, (sometimes called The Klinik), is an industrial music band from Belgium, originally formed around 1982 by electro-synthpop practitioner Marc Verhaeghen, who is the only constant member.

History

Marc Verhaeghen originally formed Klinik in the early-to-mid 1980s; the exact date varies depending on the source. The group is normally described as one of the most influential Belgian industrial bands in history.

In 1985, Verhaeghen joined forces with two other bands, Absolute Body Control (with Dirk Ivens and Eric van Wonterghem), and "The Maniacs" (Sandy Nys) to form one "super group" "Absolute Controlled Clinical Maniacs". This rather unwieldy name was soon dropped in favour of the shorter name "The Klinik". Nys soon left the band to form "Hybryds", followed in 1987 by van Wonterghem, leaving The Klinik as the "classic" duo of Dirk Ivens and Marc Verhaeghen.

The Klinik soon made a name for themselves with their cold and harsh EBM sound and their live shows, where both Ivens and Verhaeghen performed with their heads wrapped in gauze, wearing long black leather coats. Ivens' hissing vocals and minimalist lyrics were complemented by Verhaeghen's synthesizer skills and distorted trombone playing. This however, did not last forever; after Time, an album neither member was fully pleased with, musical differences became too great, and they decided to go their separate ways. In a 2013 interview, Ivens said the due were moving in different directions musically, and that compromise between only two members was challenging.

Touch football (rugby league)

Touch Football was developed from rugby league, with the tackling of opposing players replaced by a touch. Touch is therefore not a contact sport but a limited-contact sport. The basic rules of Touch were established in the 1960s by the South Sydney Junior Rugby League Club.

Distinctive features of Touch include the ease of learning it, minimal equipment requirements and the ability to play it without fear of major injury. While it is generally played with two teams of six on-field players, some social competitions allow different number of players per team on the field. It is played by both sexes, and in age divisions from primary school children to over-50s. The mixed version of the game (where both male and female players are on the field at the same time) is particularly popular with social players, and it is widely played in schools.

History

Touch started in Australia in 1963 as a social or "park" game and as a training technique for rugby league. It was not then viewed as a sport in its own right. It was formalised into a sport proper by the "Founders of Touch", Bob Dyke and Ray Vawdon of the South Sydney Junior Rugby League Club. On 13 July 1968 the "South Sydney Touch Football Club" was formed and the sport of Touch Football was born. The first actual official game of Touch was played in late 1968 and the first official competition, organised by Dyke & Vawdon, was held at Rowland Park Sydney in 1968. From these humble beginnings the game quickly became a fully regulated and codified sport. It was first played in Brisbane in 1972 and by 1973 there were representative games. It had spread to New Zealand by 1975.

Touch (Omarion song)

"Touch" is a song from American R&B singer Omarion. It was released on October 1, 2004 as the second single off his debut album O. The song was written by Pharrell Williams and includes his background vocals on the song's bridge. The song was produced by The Neptunes. "Touch" was originally planned to be the first single from O in the UK. However, it was eventually decided that, as in the U.S., "O" would be the first single from O there as well. It was a minor hit in the U.S., peaking at only number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 35 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Chart performance

"Touch" debuted at number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of June 25, 2005. It moved to number 98 the week after before leaving the chart. It re-entered the chart and peaked at number 94 the week of July 30, 2005.

Music video

The music video of "Touch" was directed by Diane Martel and choreographed by Shane Sparks and Blake Anthony; with Rasheed Musbah as co-choreographing consultant. At the beginning of the video, Omarion sees a sexy girl (Danielle Polanco) outside a club. Omarion showcases some elaborate choreography. They dance their way down the street until the girl's friends drive by and Omarion ducks into a store. When they leave, he comes out and they continue their dance to her apartment. The video ends with her putting a stopper in the door, inviting him in.

Seal

Seal commonly refers to:

  • Pinniped, a diverse group of semi-aquatic marine mammals, many of which are commonly called seals
  • Seal (emblem), an emblem used as a means of authentication; both an impression in paper, wax, clay or other medium, and the device used
  • Seal (mechanical), a device which helps prevent leakage, contain pressure, or exclude contamination where two systems join
  • variant of English for decal or sticker
  • Seal may also refer to:

    Computers

  • Digital Signature And Electronic Authentication Law (SEAL), a bill that sought to update banking regulations in America
  • SEAL (cipher), a cryptographic algorithm
  • sealed, a keyword used in the programming languages Managed Extensions for C++ and C# to denote that this class cannot be inherited from
  • Entertainment

  • Seal (musician), English singer and songwriter, or any of his three self-titled albums:
  • Seal (contract law)

    In the law, a seal affixed to a contract or other legal instrument has had special legal significance at various times in the jurisdictions that recognise it. In the courts of common law jurisdictions, a contract which was sealed ("made under seal") was treated differently from other written contracts (which were "made under hand"), although this practice gradually fell out of favour in most of these jurisdictions in the 19th and early 20th century. The legal term seal arises from the wax seal used throughout history for authentication (among other purposes).

    Originally, only a wax seal was accepted as a seal by the courts, but by the 19th century many jurisdictions had relaxed the definition to include an impression in the paper on which the instrument was printed, an embossed paper wafer affixed to an instrument, a scroll made with a pen, or the printed words "Seal" or "L.S." (standing for the Latin term locus sigilli meaning "place of the seal").

    Notwithstanding their reduced significance, seals are still used on contracts, usually in the impression on paper form.

    TOUCH
    Without your touch, I've been lost without the things I love.
    Without your kiss, I've been dreaming of the things I miss.
    Your eyes, your mouth, your lips, your touch;
    Your eyes, your mouth, your face, your touch;
    Who am I, (Who am I)
    I'm not to tell, (I'm not to tell)
    Of what will be (of what will be)
    No one knows (Still)
    Who am I (I need to know)
    I'm not to tell (What time itself)
    What will be, well (will really show)
    Let it be.
    Each day we miss;
    I remember times I used to kiss
    Your mouth, your eyes, your face, your touch
    But who am I (Who am I)
    I'm not to tell (I'm not to tell)
    Of what will be, well (of what would be)
    No one knows (Still)
    Who am I (I need to know)
    I'm not to tell (What time itself)
    Of what will be, well (will really show)
    Let it be
    (Still, I need to know
    What time itself will really show
    Still, I need to know
    What time itself will really show)
    And I say
    Who am I (Who am I)
    I'm not to tell (I'm not to tell)
    Of what will be, well (of what will be)
    No one knows (Still)
    Who am I (I need to know)
    I'm not to tell (What time itself)
    What will be, well (will really show)
    Let it be
    Who am I (Who am I)
    I'm not to tell (I'm not to tell)
    Of what will be, well (of what will be)
    No one knows (Still)
    Who am I (I need to know)
    I'm not to tell (What time itself)
    What will be; well (will really show)
    Let it be
    Your mouth, your eyes, your face, your touch
    Your touch
    Your touch
    Your touch
