Chancellor of the University of Derby
Lord Burlington was installed as the fourth Chancellor of the University of Derby in a ceremony held in the Devonshire Dome (the University's Campus in Buxton) on 15 March 2018. He was nominated for this role after the previous Chancellor, Peregrine Cavendish, 12th Duke of Devonshire, Lord Burlington's father, stood down in 2018 after ten years in the role.

At the announcement of the news the previous year, Lord Burlington stated that he intended to "take the position with an open mind, not with preconceived ideas," and that he was "excited about being part of a university which offers opportunities for students from all backgrounds to reach their potential, succeed in life and contribute to society."

Art gallery
Within a wing of Lismore Castle, the Irish seat of the Dukes of Devonshire, Lord Burlington has established the notable contemporary arts gallery, Lismore Castle Arts.

Glen De Boeck

Glen De Boeck (born 22 August 1971) is a Belgian football manager and former player. He was most recently in charge of Kortrijk in the Belgian Pro League after previously managing Cercle Brugge and Waasland-Beveren in the top flight, and Lokeren in the Belgian First Division B. During his career, he played as a central defender, mostly on the books of Anderlecht, with whom he won several league titles, and later was an assistant coach.

Club career
De Boeck was born in Boom. In the summer of 1995, he moved from KV Mechelen to Anderlecht. In the late 1990s, he was criticized by pundits, who claimed he was not good enough for Anderlecht. He eventually increased his technical performances to become one of the best defenders in The Jupiler Pro League in the early 2000s.

In February 2005, De Boeck decided to end his career due to a heavy knee injury.

International career
De Boeck made his international debut with Belgium on 6 October 1993, against Gabon (a friendly), going on to represent his country at two World Cups, with three appearances combined.

Coaching career
De Boeck was directly snapped up by his last club Anderlecht to become an assistant manager, together with Daniel Renders.

On 23 April 2007, it was revealed that De Boeck would become manager of first division side Cercle Brugge at the end of the 2006–07 season. He succeeded Harm Van Veldhoven, who had already chosen to leave for Germinal Beerschot. On 1 February 2008, the board of directors at Cercle declared De Boeck had signed a new contract until 2011, as he also became the football section's technical director, being made responsible for the further development of the football team. In March 2009, De Boeck denied K.R.C. Genk in signing him as their new coach. Instead he choose to stay with his current club Cercle Brugge. He left Cercle in June 2010 and was named the manager of Germinal Beerschot who were looking for a successor to Jos Daerden who left to become an assistant coach at Dutch club Twente.

On 30 November 2010, after continuous bad results and disagreements on the management board, he was fired as coach from Germinal Beerschot.

At the start of the 2011–12 season De Boeck was appointed as the new manager of VVV-Venlo, but halfway through the season on 6 December 2011, following a 7–0 defeat to Heracles Almelo, he resigned as manager of VVV-Venlo. In November 2012 he signed for Waasland-Beveren, but was released one year later.

After spells at Mouscron-Péruwelz, Kortrijk and Lokeren, De Boeck became a prominent expert on Belgian television before being re-appointed Kortrijk coach on 26 September 2023 in place of Edward Still, with the club lying bottom of the Belgian Pro League, without a win in their first eight games in the season.

Great Smoky Mountains Railroad

The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad is a heritage and freight railroad based in Bryson City, North Carolina, United States. Originally formed in 1988, it is currently owned and operated by American Heritage Railways since late 1999. The GSMR operates excursion trains on the former Southern Railway's Murphy Branch between Dillsboro and Nantahala, North Carolina. The GSMR is one of the most popular tourist railroads in the United States, carrying 200,000 passengers each year.

Background
The Great Smoky Mountains Railway (GSMR) owns 53 mi of the Murphy Branch, a former branch line of the Southern Railway between Dillsboro and Nantahala, North Carolina. It began operations in 1988, through a lease agreement between the NCDOT and Malcom & Joan MacNeill. With help of a team of investors, the MacNeils secured the lease only 48 hours before the Norfolk Southern would be dispatching work trains to the Murphy Branch to begin dismantling the track. The full tourist route originally operated further west to Andrews and Murphy, North Carolina. Service between Andrews and Murphy ended in 1995. Regular service between Nantahala and Andrews ended by 2001.

In late 1999, the MacNeills sold the GSMR property to the American Heritage Railways, the owners of the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&SNG) in Colorado. Additionally, the bright and colorful blue, yellow and red "circus train" livery was dropped in favor of the new Tuscan red and gold stripe livery. On March 9, 2000, the Great Smoky Mountain Railway was renamed to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad.

Tourist trains of the GSMR route use a route passing through "fertile valleys, a tunnel and across river gorges" in the Great Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina. Tourist excursions use the line between Dillsboro and Bryson City (16 mi in length) and the line between Bryson City and Nantahala (22 mi in length). The GSMR eventually would become one of the most popular tourist railroads in the United States with about 200,000 passengers each year. The railroad also has transported freight via an interchange with the Blue Ridge Southern Railroad in Sylva near Jackson Paper Manufacturing.

In 2004, GSMR debuted its "Polar Express" train ride, based on the newly released movie and licensed through Warner Brothers. This ride has been an annual major economy boost for the railroad and the town of Bryson City. In 2019, GSMR broke all attendance records, with more than 91,000 people riding the Polar Express excursion alone.

In 2007, due an unresolved dispute with the Dillsboro Town Council, the GSMR decided to relocate its headquarters from Dillsboro to Bryson City and close the Dillsboro depot. However, the Tuckasegee River excursions between Dillsboro and Bryson City continued, with the trips originating in Bryson City and laying over in Dillsboro.

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused the GSMR to suspend operations. However, they resumed on June 4, 2020, with provisions for public health such as social distancing.

Locomotives
Operational diesel locomotives have come and gone over the years at GSMR. The railroad boasts a current 2024 operational diesel locomotive roster of seven 4-axle (B-B) units, as any 6-axle (C-C) unit would be too big for the tunnels, and too long for some the line's tight or sharp curves. All of the current units were built by The Electro-Motive Division of General Motors (EMD). GSMR has two GP9s, Nos. 1751 and 1755, a GP30 No. 2467, two GP38-2s Nos. 2668 and 2335, an F9A No. 4210, and a GP35 No. 1009 which is now for sale despite still being operational and on the roster as of 2024..

The railroad owns one operational steam locomotive; S160 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type No. 1702, which was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in September 1942 for the U.S. Army during World War II. In 1991, it was purchased by the GSMR until 2005, when it was taken out of service due to firebox issues. In 2012, the GSMR made an agreement with Swain County of North Carolina donating $700,000 to construct a new steam locomotive workshop for the restoration of No. 1702 and installing a new turntable in Bryson City for the locomotive to be turned around. Afterwards, the restoration work of No. 1702 began in mid 2014 and completed in late July 2016 with the locomotive reentering excursion service.

The railroad also owns another 2-8-0 built by Baldwin, Southern Railway Ks-1 No. 722, which worked on the former Murphy Branch from 1904 to 1952 and later operated from 1970 to 1980 in the Southern Railway's steam excursion program. The GSMR purchased it in late 2000 and planned to restore it to operating condition by 2026. The locomotive will be converted to burn oil like No. 1702.

In 2010 the railroad purchased a third steam locomotive, a former Swedish State Railways 4-6-0 #1149, from the defunct Belfast and Moosehead Lake Railroad. This locomotive was originally slated to be moved to the GSMR in spring 2011. However, the engine remained on the B&ML for two more years. Ultimately, the railroad deemed the locomotive's planned move too costly and instead sold it to the Discovery Park of America in Union City, Tennessee.

GSMR retired GP9 No. 777 in 2020 and GP7 No. 711 in 2022. The two units were purchased by YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson (best known as MrBeast), who used no. 777 in a train vs. tank stunt for a YouTube video. He used 711 for a different stunt in a later video. Both videos were uploaded to YouTube in 2022. 777 was scrapped soon after the video it was featured in, and 711 was left abandoned in a field in Whittier, NC.

Retired locomotives
No. 777 was retired in early 2020 and No. 711 in early 2022.

Towns and attractions served

 * Dillsboro
 * Whittier
 * Bryson City
 * Fontana Lake
 * The Nantahala Outdoor Center

Smoky Mountain Trains Museum
The railroad owns the Smoky Mountain Trains Museum in Bryson City, North Carolina; located across Greenlee Street from the Bryson City Depot. The museum features a collection of over 7,000 Lionel model engines, cars and accessories, a large model train layout, a children's activity center, and a gift shop.

Popular culture
GSMR's No. 1702 steam locomotive was featured in the 1966 film, This Property Is Condemned, starring Natalie Wood, Robert Redford, and Charles Bronson.

The famous train wreck scene in the 1993 Warner Brothers blockbuster movie The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones was filmed in Dillsboro along the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad.

The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad was used in the filming of 1996 Warner Brothers comedy My Fellow Americans starring Jack Lemmon and James Garner; they stumble onto a charter train full of UNC-Chapel Hill fans headed for the NCAA Final Four.

Train scenes in the 1999 DreamWorks SKG film Forces of Nature starring Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock also were filmed on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad.

Incidents

 * On August 22, 2017, No. 2467 collided into a Georgia Military College coach bus at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, injuring the bus driver and eight passengers.

Émile Mpenza

Eka Basunga Lokonda "Émile" Mpenza (born 4 July 1978) is a Belgian former footballer who played as a striker. He has been capped at international level by Belgium. His older brother, Mbo, also represented Belgium.

Belgium, Germany and Qatar
Mpenza started his career at K.V. Kortrijk, and then moved to R.E. Mouscron and Standard Liège in quick succession, with older brother Mbo playing alongside in all three clubs. In 2000, he moved to Bundesliga side FC Schalke 04, in an exchange with Michaël Goossens. At Schalke he was very successful together with his compatriot Marc Wilmots and other striker Ebbe Sand but they failed to win the German title on the last day of competition. Mpenza returned to Standard three years later. In 2004–05 he returned to Germany, signing for Hamburger SV. However, in January 2006 he made a surprise move to Qatari team Al Rayyan.

Manchester City
Mpenza signed for Manchester City, after playing and scoring in a specially arranged match at Eastlands on 14 February 2007. "I am not finished and I will prove it in Manchester", Mpenza told Belgian radio station Bel RTL. "I make this move as revenge, with respect to all those who criticised my decision to play in Qatar". He made his debut against Wigan Athletic on 3 March 2007 as a half-time substitute replacing Georgios Samaras. He scored his first goal for the club in the 2–0 win at Middlesbrough on 17 March 2007, and his second in the 1–0 victory at Newcastle United on 30 March. He scored once more in the 2006–07 season, away to Tottenham Hotspur on the last day of the season, as City lost 2–1.

Having signed until the end of the 2007–08 season, Mpenza scored on City's first pre-season game of the 2007–08 season away to Doncaster Rovers. He would also equalise against Fulham and put City ahead against Bristol City and Newcastle United. However, facing competition for his place from Rolando Bianchi, Valeri Bojinov, Geovanni and Elano, all signed by new City manager Sven-Göran Eriksson in summer 2007, Mpenza did not score again after September, and was released in July 2008.

Plymouth Argyle
He then signed for Championship side Plymouth Argyle on 2 September 2008. Mpenza went on to make his Argyle debut as a sub on 70 minutes in a 2–1 defeat to Norwich City on 13 September. He then scored his first goal for the club against Charlton Athletic in a 2–2 draw, and scored again in a 2–1 win over Cardiff City. However Mpenza's time at Plymouth Argyle was blighted by injury and therefore he was not offered a new contract.

Sion
For the 2009–10 season, Mpenza signed a one-year contract with Swiss Topflight club FC Sion. Here he rediscovered his eye for goal by scoring 21 goals in 32 matches.

Neftchi Baku
In August 2010, Mpenza signed a three-year contract with Azerbaijan Premier League club Neftchi Baku. He left the club in January 2012, having lost his place in the team during the 2011–12 season.

In June 2015, Neftchi Baku were ordered by FIFA to pay Mpenza €1 million in unpaid wages.

Eendracht Aalst
After searching a club for over a year, Mpenza finally signed a one-year contract with Eendracht Aalst on 1 October 2013.

International career
Mpenza played for the Belgium national football team between 1997 and 2009, though he was frequently injured in times of international call-ups. He played alongside his brother Mbo in the 1998 World Cup and in Euro 2000 where he scored a goal in the opening match against Sweden (which ended with Belgium's victory 2–1), but missed out on the World Cup in 2002 with a groin injury.

Ilanda

Ilanda were an Australian-based vocal harmony and dance group which formed in 1991 as Past to Present. Initially a four-piece, with Leighton Hema, Frank Laga'aia, Lennie Keller and his brother, Norman Keller. They are all New Zealand-born, though their heritage is Samoan. Past to Present teamed with Peter Andre to feature on his single, "Get Down on It" (February 1996), which peaked at No. 5 on the ARIA Singles Chart and No. 1 on the New Zealand Singles Chart. When Hema left the group in 1998 they went into hiatus for a year and reconvened as a three-piece under the name, Ilanda, which had three top 40 Australian singles. Their last release was in May 2000.

1991–1997: Past to Present
All four Past to Present members: Leighton Hema, Frank Laga'aia, Lennie Keller and his brother, Norman Keller, were born in New Zealand of Samoan heritage. They grew up together and attended the same church choir. Laga'aia's older brother, Jay, is an Australian-New Zealand actor and singer. The Keller brothers migrated to Melbourne in 1980. In 1991 the quartet formed there, after Hema and Laga'aia had also migrated, as a vocal harmony and dance group. Samoan band, the Katinas, were a major inspiration.

As Past to Present, they signed with Mushroom Records and issued their debut single, "Crazy" (June 1995), which reached the top 50 on both the ARIA Singles Chart and the New Zealand Singles Chart. The track was co-written by the four band members. In the following month they issued an album, Four Noble Truths, which was produced by Ant Dale and Vince Deltito.

In February 1996 they appeared on Peter Andre's cover version of Kool & the Gang's single, "Get Down on It", as featured vocalists. It peaked at No. 5 on the ARIA Singles Chart and No. 1 on the New Zealand Singles Chart. On the ARIA end of the year charts it peaked in the top 50.

Their next single was a cover version of Earth, Wind & Fire's "September" (August 1996), which reached the ARIA Singles Top 50. Their album track "Sexuality", co-written by producers Dale and Deltito with M Stevens, was used on the soundtrack for the TV soap, Home and Away: The Sounds of Summer Bay (1996). A non-album single, "Ready Willing & Able", was issued in August 1997, which reached the top 40 in New Zealand.

The group left Mushroom Records in late 1997. According to Frank, "we had come to a crossroad [in 1997]. We just felt that if we were to carry on, we needed a 100 per cent control of our careers and felt like we knew how we wanted to be marketed from the promotional side of things – we'd been in the industry a good five years by then. We sat down with our management one day and decided to form APO records and APO International and then we got together our own production team." APO International ran recording studios, a record label, a management company and modelling agency. Leighton Hema left the group, citing personal reasons.

1998–2000: Ilanda
Laga'aia and the Keller brothers resumed performing in early 1999 as a three-piece band under the name, Ilanda, (pronounced the same as "Islander") – a reference to their Samoan heritage. The new line-up's first single, "It's Our Time" (February 1999), peaked at No. 30 in Australia and No. 21 in New Zealand. In June of that year, Norman told Christie Eliezer of Billboard that "the music of Ilanda is obviously a statement of what we are. The Pacific feel is integral to our sound. The harmonies come from church choirs, and the way we play acoustic guitar reflects the fact that, at any Maori party, there's a tussle to grab the guitar for the inevitable sing along."

Ilanda had further top 40 chart success in Australia with their next two singles "Tasty" (September 1999) and "Breakin'... There's No Stopping Us" featuring Joanne Accom (May 2000). In August 2000 the group were working on their next album, Experience, which Frank described, "It's very eclectic to say the least... we've also got a touch of pop music in there as well as R&B, dance, ballads and up-tempo songs – so it's a very diverse album."

 * Leighton Hema (departed whilst the band was still Past to Present)

Re: Boondocks and cleanup
Though Boondocks may be more similar, I don't think its popular enough (in New Zealand at least) to draw a comparison, though others may disagree with me.

Also, everything seems to bee cleaned up well except the character descriptions - they still lack the formality required for an encyclopedia.

Boondocks
If we're trying to compare the show to something, given that a lot of it is about race and teh show is very political, it most closely resembles The Boondocks IMHO. That is a show about black American kids and similarly chronicles teh struggles of an ethnic group. I don't think South Park or The Simpsons has nearly as much in common with the show. 202.82.171.186 23:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Looks fine
This looks fine now. Someone must have cleaned up the impromptu questions. How do we get rid of the "needs to be cleaned up" status? (nvm i figured it out)

I think it still needs cleanup. And maybe some reference to the issues faced by the people it portrays? I came here to get context after seeing the show, and there's not much on the culture that's represented on the show in this Wiki. 202.82.171.186 01:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Helen Razer

Helen Razer is a Melbourne-born and Canberra-raised radio presenter and writer. She is the author of four non-fiction books and a columnist with the Australian version of The Big Issue, Melbourne newspaper The Age and contributor to the monthly magazine Cherrie and weekly newspaper The Saturday Paper.

Early life
Razer attended Weston Creek High School (now Stromlo High School) from 1981 to 1984, and then Narrabundah College.

Media work
Razer was a radio broadcaster on national Australian youth station Triple J from 1990 to 1998. She was partnered for most of this time with comedian Mikey Robins on the breakfast program. She also appeared on the Ladies Lounge program with Judith Lucy in the afternoons. She left after being targeted by a stalker, who had been active for several years and, convinced he was her husband, managed to get into the studio.

In 1999, ABC TV's watchdog program Media Watch lampooned her overuse of long and arcane words.

In 2002 she became a programmer for Joy FM, Melbourne's gay and lesbian community radio station. Razer worked in the role for twelve weeks.

In 2005 Razer was employed as presenter of the Sunday arts program on the 774 ABC Melbourne radio station. In October 2008, the ABC announced that she was to finish in this position before the end of the year as "part of a freshening of program formats". The announcement came two weeks after a controversial interview, on 7 September 2008, with actor Steven Berkoff. On the 15 September 2008 episode of ABC TV's Media Watch program presenter Jonathan Holmes accused Razer of patronising Berkoff in the interview by referring to him as "dear" and asking how good was the play he was on the radio "to flog". She finally called Berkoff a "curmudgeon" and then cut him off.

Razer currently writes features for The Age. and the Sydney Morning Herald. She is also a regular contributor to the online Crikey news website and was previously an opinion columnist writing for The Australian newspaper.

Razer also writes a column for The Big Issue and has a blog called "Bad Hostess".

In the 2011 Year 12 VCE English examination, the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority instructed over 40,000 students to analyse a supposedly fictional blog article that was, in fact, taken from an opinion piece written by Razer and published in The Age newspaper in 2010. VCAA had not asked Razer for permission to use the article and had not acknowledged her as the author. Razer said her professional reputation had suffered as a result and there were "hundreds of derogatory references to the exam question and herself on social media after students posted links to the original article".

In October 2017, Razer was quoted in an article on general and especially sexual health for over-40 females. She was said to be 49, and finding that dating as an older woman can be a frustrating experience.

In 2017, she wrote an article for Quartz website titled Why I’m a communist—and why you should be, too in which she discussed the difference between communism, socialism, and liberalism, Karl Marx's prediction of the decline of capitalism and put the view that a "good, productive life for all demands a new and collective mode of production".

In 2018, Razer began her own podcast Knackers & the Vadge in which Razer took the name The Vadge and Knackers was a stuffed animal whose function was to keep Razer under control.

Razer contributed an essay to the book A Secret Australia: Revealed by the WikiLeaks Exposés which was published in December 2020. Reviewing the book for The Sydney Morning Herald, Jessie Tu wrote that Razer's "amusing voice cuts through the somewhat parched tenor of cold academic-speak that lightly threads through the other essays".

Health
Razer has been critical of some approaches to mental health awareness. In 2015, she was critical of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s “Mental As” week offerings.

Communes of Luxembourg

Luxembourg's 100 communes (Gemengen ; French: communes; Gemeinden) conform to LAU Level 2 and are the country's lowest administrative divisions.

Communes rank below cantons in Luxembourg's hierarchy of administrative subdivisions. Communes are often re-arranged, being merged or divided as demanded by demographic change over time. Unlike the cantons, which have remained unchanged since their creation, the identity of the communes has not become ingrained within the geographical sensations of the average Luxembourger. The cantons are responsible for the ceremonial, administrative, and statistical aspects of government, while the communes provide local government services.

The municipal system was adopted when Luxembourg was annexed into the French département of Forêts in 1795. Despite ownership passing to the Netherlands, this system was maintained until it was introduced upon independence in 1843. The province of Luxembourg, which now constitutes part of Belgium, was part of Luxembourg prior to 1839 when it possessed a low degree of sovereignty. Due to Luxembourg's incorporation into the main country by its occupying powers, the modern municipal system in Luxembourg is less than two centuries old.

Terminology
Luxembourg has three official languages: French, German, and the national language Luxembourgish. Some government websites also offer English versions

Authority
The communes have no legislative control over matters relating to the national interest, which reside solely with the Chamber of Deputies. Below this level, however, they have wide-ranging powers. The communes provide public education, maintain the local road network and other infrastructure, ensure basic public health, and provide most social security. Communes also have discretionary powers for comprehensive health care (including maintenance of hospitals and clinics) within their borders, land-use planning, funds for cultural activities, provision of care to the elderly, and providing a sufficient supply of water, gas, and electricity.

Communes and cities

There are currently 100 communes in the 12 cantons. The 12 communes with city status are Diekirch, Differdange, Dudelange, Echternach, Esch-sur-Alzette, Ettelbruck, Grevenmacher, Luxembourg, Remich, Rumelange, Vianden, and Wiltz.

Creation of communes after independence

 * On 1 July 1849 the commune of Rollingergrund was created from the commune of Eich by law on 8 May 1849
 * On 1 January 1850 the commune of Strassen was created from the commune of Bertrange by law on 6 August 1849
 * On 1 July 1850 the communes of Schieren and Erpeldange were created from the commune of Ettelbruck by law on 22 January 1850
 * On 1 January 1851 the commune of Walferdange was created from the commune of Steinsel by law of 25 November 1850
 * On 1 July 1853 the commune of Kopstal was created from the parts of the communes of Kehlen and Steinsel by law of 22 February 1853
 * On 1 July 1856 the commune of Leudelange was created from the commune of Reckange by law of 3 March 1856
 * On 1 January 1874 the commune of Hamm was created from the commune of Sandweiler by law of 20 December 1873
 * On 30 December 1874 the commune of Mertzig was created from the commune of Feulen by law of 20 November 1874
 * On 15 August 1876 the commune of Schifflange was created from the commune of Esch-sur-Alzette by law of 6 July 1876
 * On 25 September 1891 the commune of Rumelange was created from the commune of Kayl by law of 27 June 1891

Former communes
Since the country's creation in 1839, eight communes have changed their name and forty-three communes have been merged, resulting in the 100 communes that exist today. These defunct communes are listed in the table below.

Evolution of communes
The municipal system was created during the French occupation to mirror the systems employed in the rest of the French Republic. These were overhauled in 1823, but the system itself was retained until independence, which was granted under the 1839 Treaty of London. The law regulating their creation and organisation dates to 24 February 1843, which was later enshrined in the Luxembourgian constitution promulgated on 17 October 1868.

Upon independence, there were 120 communes. A series of mergers and partitions between 1849 and 1891 increased this number to 130. Most of these were brought about by asymmetrical population growth, as population growth in the south caused the balance of population in the country to shift. For instance, some of the communes born in that era include Rumelange, Schifflange, and Walferdange. In the pattern of Nordstad, Erpeldange and Schieren were also separated from Ettelbruck.

Since the end of the First World War, during which Luxembourg was occupied by Germany, the number of communes has dropped steadily. In 1920, Luxembourg City was expanded, annexing four surrounding communes. Another wave of mergers took place in the 1970s when sparsely-populated areas in the north and west of the country were merged to form Lac de la Haute-Sûre, Rambrouch, and Wincrange. 2006 saw the creation of Kiischpelt and Tandel from four smaller communes, further reducing them to just 116. 2012 saw the creation of Käerjeng, Vallée de l'Ernz and Parc Hosingen from smaller communes, and the merger of Clervaux, Esch-sur-Sûre and Schengen into adjacent ones. Eschweiler was merged into Wiltz in 2015. Following the mergers of Boevange-sur-Attert and Tuntange into the new commune of Helperknapp, the merger of Septfontaines and Hobschied into the new commune of Habscht, and the merger of Rosport and Mompach into Rosport-Mompach in 2018, there are now only 102 communes.

Work at home parent

A work at home parent is someone who conducts remote work from home and integrates parenting into his or her working time and workspace. They are sometimes referred to as a WAHM (work at home mom) or a WAHD (work at home dad).

People work from home for a variety of reasons, including lower business expenses, personal health limitations, eliminating commuting, or to have a more flexible schedule. This flexibility can give workers more options when planning tasks, business and non-business, including parenting duties. While some remote workers opt for childcare outside the home, others integrate child rearing into their working time and workspace. The latter are considered work-at-home parents.

Many WAHPs start home businesses to care for their children while still creating income. The desire to care for one's own children, the incompatibility of a 9-to-5 work day with school hours or sick days, and the expense of childcare prompt many parents to change or leave their jobs in the workforce to be available to their children. Many WAHPs build a business schedule that can be integrated with their parenting duties.

Integrating business and parenting
An integration of parenting and business can take place in one or more of four key ways: combined uses of time, combined uses of space, normalizing children in business, and flexibility.

Combining uses of time involves some level of human multitasking, such as taking children on business errands, and the organized scheduling of business activities during child's down times and vice versa. The WAHP combines uses of space by creating a home (or mobile) office that accommodates the child's presence.

Normalizing acknowledges the child's presence in the business environment. This can include letting key business partners know that parenting is a priority, establishing routines and rules for children in the office, and even having children help with business when appropriate.

Finally, the WAHP can utilize the inherent flexibility of the work-at-home arrangement. This may mean working in smaller increments of time instead of long stretches, looser scheduling of the day's activities to allow for the unexpected, and working at non-traditional times.

A business that demands 9-to-5 business hours, a polished office, intense one-on-one time with clients, dangerous materials, or impromptu appointments may not work well for a parent with children at home. Thus, not all professions lend themselves to work-at-home parenting. Without good organization, the WAHP may experience decreased productivity due to added responsibilities and unexpected interruptions. Internet businesses or 'virtual assistants' are well-suited as work-at-home businesses.

The Center for Women's Business Research, a non-profit organization, found that Generation X mothers are the most likely to work from home. The center also reports that between 1997 and 2004, employment at female-owned companies grew by 24.2%, more than twice the rate of the 11.6% logged by all businesses.

Types of work that WAHPs may engage in include remote work, freelancing on project such as articles, graphic design or consulting, or working as an independent contractor, running home-party businesses, managing companies from home, and providing business and marketing support.

History
The concept of the WAHP has been around for as long as small businesses have. In pre-industrial societies, merchants and artisans often worked out of or close to their homes. Children typically remained in the care of a parent during the day and were often present while the parents worked. Societal changes in the 1800s, such as compulsory education and the Industrial Revolution, made working from home with children around less common.

Entrepreneurship saw a resurgence in the 1980s, with more of an emphasis on work-life balance. Among the long-traditional groups of WAHPs are those professionals in private practice with home offices such as physicians, therapists, music teachers and tutors. The term WAHP began gaining popularity in the late 1990s especially as the growth of the Internet allowed for small business owners and entrepreneurs to have greater options for starting and running their businesses. Remote work opportunities have since increased with advances in technology.

In 2008, WAHM Magazine, a digital magazine, was established specifically for work-at-home parents, designed to address the issues of the complete lifestyle of work-at-home parents regardless of field or industry, and has a mission to validate, empower, encourage, educate and support WAHPs in their personal, professional and lifestyle goals.

During the COVID-19 lockdowns, many parents have to juggle paid employment and full-time daycare, which is likely to limit their productivity and the anticipated benefits of working from home. However, changes in technology and firm culture have increased the likelihood of working from home arrangements being made available to parents, particularly mothers.

Nathan Phillips (actor)

Nathan Phillips (born 16 January 1980) is an Australian actor.

Life and career
His professional acting career began in 1999, with a role on the popular Australian soap opera Neighbours. His television career was later followed by roles in Child Star: The Shirley Temple Story, Blue Heelers, Something in the Air and The Saddle Club.

In 2002, he made his feature film debut with a role in Warriors of Virtue: The Return to Tao (also starring Kevin Smith, Shedrack Anderson III and Nina Liu). His next role, the lead in Australian Rules, earned him a nomination for the Film Critics Circle of Australia's Best Actor award, alongside David Gulpilil, Guy Pearce and Vince Colosimo.

Phillips's film career has seen him star in both Australian productions, such as Take Away (with Rose Byrne), One Perfect Day (with Abbie Cornish) and Under the Radar, and Hollywood productions such as Chernobyl Diaries, Redline and Surfer, Dude and most notably Snakes on a Plane. He is perhaps most known for his role as backpacker Ben Mitchell in the 2005 hit horror film Wolf Creek. After the success of this film, Phillips moved to Los Angeles, where he was based for several years.

Although tipped for big things in Hollywood after the success of Wolf Creek, Phillips chose to go travelling for long periods of time, rather than focus on his career as an actor. Phillips' career has, to date, consisted mostly of roles in low budget films and television work, such as his role as Tom Wills, Australia's first significant cricketer and father of Australian rules football. In 2020, Phillips appeared in the Nine Network series Halifax: Retribution.

From 2019 on, Phillips is back living in his native Australia and working on television and film projects there. In addition to acting, Phillips was a producer of 2019's Blood Vessel.

Talk:The Destruction of the European Jews

[Untitled]

 * Today, The Destruction has achieved a certain level of infamy amongst Holocaust historians. While its ideas have been modified (including by Hilberg himself) and criticized throughout four decades, few in the field dispute it being a monumental work, in both originality and scope.

Is "infamy" really the right word here? It sounds too negative given what's stated afterwards. Palmiro | Talk 12:07, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I think I meant it within the context of the work's contents and what it depicts, but you're right, it dosen't make much sense. Thanks for picking up on that. Any ideas for a better word; synonym for seminal, or something to that effect? El_C 23:12, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Hilberg: intentionalist or functionalist?
The article on "The Destruction of European Jews" says it (the book) is firmly intentionalist, but the article on Hilberg lists him as a prominent functionalist. His views have evolved over the years and he combines elements of both schools, but perhaps this could be made a little clearer.FaryMark 12:05, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I would concur with the above statement. "The while firmly intententionlist" seems a bit odd or confusing. I have olny read the 2003 edition, so I can't comment on earlier versions. However, Browning considers him the father of functionalism, and notes changes Hilberg made to the 1985 edition, just as functionalism was becoming a more main stream intrepretation. RandyRP (talk) 02:21, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

30 pages is brief?
I wonder about the phrase "a brief, thirty-odd page review". There aren't many places where a thirty page review woudl qualify as "brief" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.149.77.212 (talk) 23:20, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Guess it isn't really brief in the sense of 'short' but, brief compared to the volume of the reviewed material, in the sense of 'not very thorough'. 80.99.38.199 (talk) 10:15, 2 December 2017 (UTC).

Published with support?
While it is true that one of Hillberg's PhD advisors at Columbia supported his choice of dissertation topics, it would be more accurate to say, "defended" his choice. I remember reading in Michael Marrus's book that the history faculty at Columbia was dead against Hillberg's research. Talking about the Holocaust at that time was strictly taboo, since the Germans were now our allies in the war against atheistic Communism. Moreover, Hillberg was warned that if he persisted in his choice of topic, he would be finished. He would never be offered a job in academia. The difficulty he subsequently had in getting it published in book form reflects the atmosphere of the times. Mballen (talk) 19:51, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Interesting. Let us include this, with RS. Zezen (talk) 07:46, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Picture of Hilberg
What this section needs: Elvey, there is no reason why the article should include a picture of the author of The Destruction of the European Jews, Raul Hilberg. Hilberg's physical appearance has no relevance to understanding the book. The picture is therefore useless. Readers can look at the article about Hilberg if they happen to care what he looked like. It is up to you to suggest an actual reason why this particular article about a book should contain a picture of its author - the overwhelming majority of articles about books rightly do not include pictures of their authors. Nothing you say in this edit summary gives a valid reason for including that irrelevant picture, which manifestly does not "illustrate the topic of the article" nor is being "used for commentary on a particular topic". The non free-use rationale given ("This image is used as the primary identification of its subject, a notable individual, in the section of an article which deals with a major academic work by the individual concerned") is totally inadequate as it does not explain, "Why the subject can't be adequately conveyed by properly sourced text." Hilberg can be identified through text, as a historian, so there is no need for a non-free picture. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 01:48, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * We disagree. I see fair use  - visual identification of the person in question, at the top of the main article on his work.  AGAIN: As I told you on my talk page: You need to either drop this or follow (WP:DEL, which in this case means) the WP:FFD procedure.  If the FFD goes your way, fine, I'll stand corrected.-- Elvey (t•c) 02:03, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * What part of, "Why the subject can't be adequately conveyed by properly sourced text" do you not understand, Elvey? The rationale given for including a picture of Hilberg in the article at File:Hilberg2.jpg is so that he can be identified ("This image is used as the primary visual identification of its subject, a notable individual, in the section of an article which deals with a major academic work by the individual concerned. No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the individual in question. As the subject of the image is deceased, use of this image for the stated purpose constitutes fair use)." If you think about it carefully, Elvey, you might realize that a picture of Hilberg is not required to properly identify him.

Hello Gogomann, Articles on the English language wikipedia should be in English. Artikel im englischsprachigen Wikikpedia sollten auf Englisch sein. --Carabinieri 12:07, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications.

Köhler disease

Köhler disease (also spelled "Kohler" and referred to in some texts as Kohler disease I) is a rare bone disorder of the foot found in children between six and nine years of age. The disease typically affects boys, but it can also affect girls. It was first described in 1908 by Alban Köhler (1874–1947), a German radiologist. Dr. A. Köhler noted that children with foot pain displayed characteristics, within their x-rays, of irregularity in growth and development of the tarsal navicular bone in the foot. Furthermore, Köhler disease is known to affect five times more boys than girls and typically, only one foot is affected. The disease was then found to belong to a group of conditions called osteochondroses, which disturb bone growth at ossification centres which occurs during bone development.

It is caused when the navicular bone temporarily loses its blood supply. As a result, tissue in the bone dies and the bone collapses. When treated, it causes no long-term problems in most cases although rarely can return in adults. As the navicular bone gets back to normal, symptoms typically abate.

Symptoms
Affected individuals experience pain and swelling in the middle part of the foot and usually limp as a result. Patients who walk with a limp tend to walk with increased weight on the lateral side of the foot. Also, there can be tenderness over the navicular. Patients often complain of pain over the apex. An X-ray of both feet is used to diagnose disease. The affected foot tends to have a sclerotic and flattened navicular bone. Symptoms may last for a few weeks or may continue to be present for up to 2 years. An indication of the symptoms residing is the resolution of the acute inflammation and obvious healing of the foot. This means that the affected bone and the Tarsal Navicular begin to regain their normal size, density and structure.

Cause
The cause of Köhler's disease, has thus far, been declared unknown by scientists. However, it is suspected that possible causes may be caused by strain on the foot and the blood vessels associated with it, before the bone is fully able to grow into its adult form (ossification). This bone ossification usually begins within the first 18 to 24 months of a female's life and the first 24 to 30 months of a male's life. Ossification will occur more slowly on the tarsal navicular bone than on other bones of the foot. This causes an overall loss of blood supply in the areas surrounding, as a result of the compression. Furthermore, some scientists have suggested that genetic factors could play a significant role in the development of the disease, however no direct causation has been identified, nor a disease-causing gene.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis is made on the basis of history and a high index of suspicion. On examination there is tenderness to palpation on navicular head. Radiographs reveal typical changes of increased density and narrowing of the navicular bone.

Treatment
Treatment usually involves resting the affected foot, taking pain relievers and trying to avoid putting pressure on the foot. In acute cases, the patient is often fitted with a cast that stops below the knee. The cast is usually worn for 6 to 8 weeks. After the cast is taken off, some patients are prescribed arch support for about 6 months. Also, moderate exercise is often beneficial, and physical therapy may help as well.

Prognosis for children with this disease is very good. It may persist for some time, but most cases are resolved within two years of the initial diagnosis. Although in most cases no permanent damage is done, some will have lasting damage to the foot.

Embarrassing cheque

The embarrassing cheque is a confidence trick which may also be an urban legend.

The scam was supposedly performed by a company selling pornography or other sex aids and trading under a highly explicit name. Customers were invited to purchase adult material from the company, and were assured that the actual transaction could be made with a separate company with a non-explicit name in order to prevent the explicit name from appearing on transaction logs and bank statements.

In fact, the company did not have any items to sell. Once a sufficient number of customers had sent money for items, the company sent out letters of apology to all of them, saying the items were no longer available. They also sent them refunds - in the form of company cheques clearly printed with the explicit company name.

The plan would be that the customers would be too embarrassed to cash in a cheque showing the company's real name ("The Anal Sex And Fetish Pornography Company"), not wanting other persons to know about their private lives, so the cheques would never be cashed, and thus the scammers running the company got to keep the money. (The authors of snopes.com have pointed out that customers could cash the cheques via ATM or mail and thus avoid having to confront a bank worker in person. This would not have prevented, however, the cheque description potentially appearing on their customer file.)

It is not known if this trick ever actually happened or not. It is referred to in the film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and the TV series Eureka Street but existed as a legend prior to that.

Leo Sowerby

Leo Salkeld Sowerby (1 May 1895 – 7 July 1968) was an American composer and church musician. He won the Pulitzer Prize for music in 1946 and was often called the “Dean of American church music” in the early to mid 20th century. His many students included Florence Price and Ned Rorem.

Biography
Leo Sowerby, son of Florence Gertrude Salkeld and John Sowerby, was born on 1 May 1895, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he began to compose at the age of 10. His interest in the organ began at the age of 15, and he was self-taught at the instrument. He studied composition with Arthur Olaf Andersen at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago. Early recognition came when his Violin Concerto was premiered in 1913 by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He spent time in France during the First World War in the role of bandmaster. In 1921 he was awarded the Rome Prize (from the American Academy in Rome), the first composer to receive this. He began teaching at the American Conservatory of Music in 1924. He received the 1946 Pulitzer Prize for Music for his cantata, the Canticle of the Sun, written in 1944.

In 1919 Sowerby became associate organist at Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago, and in 1927 he became organist and choirmaster at St. James Episcopal Church in Chicago, which was consecrated as a cathedral in 1955 while he was there.

In 1962, after his retirement from St. James, he was called to Washington National Cathedral to become the founding director of the College of Church Musicians, a position he held until his death in 1968. He died in Port Clinton, Ohio, while at Camp Wa-Li-Ro in Put-in-Bay, Ohio, the summer choir camp where he had taught for many years. He is buried in Washington National Cathedral.

His substantial output includes over 500 works in every genre but opera and ballet. His later works, composed while he was at St. James, Chicago, and Washington National Cathedral, are primarily church music for choir and organ.

The New Tomorrow

The New Tomorrow is a New Zealand–based television series produced by Cloud 9 Screen Entertainment Group in association with Channel 5 and is a sequel to the series The Tribe. The show was created by Raymond Thompson and premiered on 17 September 2005 on the Seven Network in Australia.

The events of The New Tomorrow follow the final episode of series five of The Tribe. It is unclear how much time has passed since The Tribe ended or what connections exist between the two shows.

Premise
Following the outbreak of a virus, the entire adult population has been wiped out leaving their children to survive alone. Most of the children have formed tribes, each with their own distinct makeup and clothes. Each of these tribes follow different philosophies which invariably lead to conflict.

While The Tribe focused mainly on the children surviving in the city, The New Tomorrow focuses on those in the countryside and the forest, and in particular on three tribes, The Ants, The Barbs and The Privileged.

Main

 * Sky (played by Nick Fenton) – He is a mysterious outsider, who first comes across The Ants, and then grows close to The Barbs and Zora, though he refuses to join any tribe. Sky's origins are a mystery, even to him.
 * Dan (played by Rafe Custance), of The Ants – Initially a member of The Ants but he resists their beliefs such as their worship of the Mall Rats. He likes the way of life The Barbs have and is eventually allowed to join them after having to go through an initiation ceremony.
 * Omar (played by Trey Brown), of The Ants – He is very protective of The Ants, and is distrustful of outsiders. He also dislikes Dan.
 * Flame (played by Cameron Wakefield), of The Privileged – He is the leader of The Privileged and a bully. Flame really doesn't go much on Harmony or Shadow but can't say anything, because they are the closest thing to a family member or friend that he has.
 * Zora (placed by Felicity Milovanovich), of The Barbs – She is the leader of The Barbs. She feels there is something familiar about Sky by asking him if he is "...sure he hasn't been in these parts before?"
 * Jag (played by Joshua Rippon), of The Barbs – He doesn't like outsiders and feels that the protection of other The Barbs is important above all other things. (episodes 1–16)
 * Harmony (played by Lara Custance), of The Privileged – She is the chief adviser to Flame, though she secretly harbours reservations about Flame's leadership.
 * Faygar (played by Zoë Robins), of The Ants – She is the leader of The Ants, and the chief priestess in the Ants' "ancestor" religion.
 * Kwarli (played by Thomas Steventon), of The Barbs – He likes to help all people and do what he feels is best for all, not just what is best for his tribe.
 * Cass (played by Paige Shand-Haami), of The Ants – She is the cook for The Ants' tribe. Cass is a caring girl who likes to help and comfort others.
 * Shadow (played by James Shaw), of The Warps – He is the leader of The Warps, The Privileged's army, and bodyguard to Flame. He is a great fighter and has a battle scar over his left eye. He keeps a pet rat in his room at "The Priv" headquarters. He is later "discarded" during Harmony's coup, but soon escapes. (episodes 1–24)
 * Gwyn (played by Henrietta Steventon), formerly of The Discards and then chosen to be of The Privileged – Once a Discard, Gwyn is picked to become a "Priv", though she hasn't forgotten what it is like to be Discard and treats her Discard servants with respect, unlike the other Privileged. She is later picked by the Privs to be their spy on The Barbs and The Ants, with the conditions being – if Gwyn is successful and gets useful information on the two tribes, and on the mysterious Sky, then she will remain a "Priv"; otherwise she will be thrown in The Forbidden Zone. It is on this mission that Gwyn discovers her long lost brother, Dan, who by then is a member of The Barbs.
 * Erin (played by Arthur Caughley), of The Barbs – He is the younger brother of Leanne. He is often lazy, and is a mischievous trouble-maker.
 * Leanne (played by Katie Alexander), of The Barbs – She is the older sister of Erin, and is often annoyed by his antics.
 * Sal (played by Abbey-May Wakefield), of The Ants – She is only 6 years old. She has a pet pig named Star, and is very protective of the tribe's animals.

Recurring and guest

 * Magdar (played by Imogen Cassin), of The Discards – She is a Discard who serves Gwyn, upon the latter's joining the Privileged. Gwyn mothers and befriends the girl, but when Gwyn's position in The Privs is threatened by Harmony, Gwyn frames Magdar for theft and has her sent to the Forbidden Zone. (episodes 4–6)
 * Crusher (played by Marc Shaw), of The Warps – He is originally chosen by Shadow to spy on the Ants and the Barbs for the Privs, but he is rejected for the mission by Flame. (episode 9)
 * The Stranger (played by Jimmy Kwan), of The Birds – He is the youngest brother of Sunni and Lord Attil. He goes into The Ants camp during the passball game and steals Kwarli's boots, Zoot's goggles, and all of the hens' eggs. Later while Erin is fishing, he steals Erin's bicycle. He doesn't speak and is thought to be mute when first discovered by Sky and Dan. (episodes 19–26)
 * Sunni (played by Garrett Chin), of The Birds – He is the brother and messenger of The Birds leader Lord Attil. (episodes 24–26)

Characters from the past/in the mythology
As well as characters we have seen in The New Tomorrow, there have been mentions and representations of other people and characters from The Tribe.

Bray
The "Ants" worship Bray. Throughout Series 1–3 of "The Tribe" Bray is one of the focus characters fighting to build a new world and restore order to the city. He is taken by the Technos at the beginning of Series 4, when his girlfriend Amber gives birth to his son. Amber decided to name the baby Bray, after his dad, and so the memory lived on.

Zoot
In The Ants mythology, Zoot is the evil to Bray's good. They believe that all the problems faced in the past: the technology, the machines, the darkness and the Great Wandering; were all brought about by Zoot. In the Ants story, Zoot was represented as an exaggerated form of how he looked in The Tribe. The name of Zoot is also known to both The Bards and The Privs.

The tribes
There are three main tribes in The New Tomorrow. These are The Ants, The Barbs and The Privileged. A fourth tribe is introduced near the end of the series' run.

The Ants
The Ants are a tribe of farmers which appears to consist of the more timid survivors who were in need of someone to lead them and give them a purpose. This role has been left to High Priestess Faygar, who leads the group and has given them a belief system worshipping their ancestors. They pray to Bray (who represents good) and ask for his guidance, while Bray's brother Zoot has become the 'evil' in their mythology and the bringer of all their problems. The Ants look to the day when 'The Ancestor' will return. The Ants are easily distinguished by their markings, which consist of a black mark underneath their eyes and a line with three smaller lines in the centre of their forehead.

The Barbs
The Barbs are a naturalistic tribe who live in the forest and are protective of their lands and take only what they need to survive in order to conserve the environment. The warrior Zora leads them in their worshipping of the Sun, Moon and rain. They are good trackers and hunters, and can move above the forest unseen by others. In the centre of the forest is their primitive settlement of wooden huts and camp fires. The group are easily identifiable by the markings on their heads, which consist of a five-pointed fan in the centre of their forehead and a coloured mask of sorts around their eyes. (Leanne is the only one seen without this coloured mask)

The Privileged
The Privileged feel they are superior to other tribes and aim for perfection in both their looks and their actions. They live in the tunnels and rooms underneath an old water dam and are led by Flame. The Privileged have a group of soldiers, called The Warps, who are a strong and courageous people and a group of slaves referred to as The Discards who work in the mines and plantations run by The Privileged, or if they are unlucky they work as The Privileged's personal servants. Movement between these groups is supposed to be determined by all The Privileged, however Flame takes it upon himself to choose many of those who are forced to change groups, even going so far as to 'discard' fellow members of The Privileged at the drop of a hat. The Privs do not have a distinct marking of sorts, rather their clothes are a lot grander than those of The Ants and the Barbs. The Discards are marked by a honeycomb pattern across the centre of their forehead and gray clothing.

The Birds
The Birds first appeared in episode 24 of The New Tomorrow. They are led by Lord Attil. A messenger of Lord Attil's, Sunni, arrives at The Privileged camp in the same episode. We later find out that Sunni is Lord Attil's brother. Sunni tells Harmony that his tribe has many enemies, because if a tribe refuses to trade with them, they simply take what they want.

Production
The target audience for The New Tomorrow is 8- to 12-year-olds whereas The Tribe had been aimed at a slightly older teenage audience. However, the majority of the fan base are people who grew up watching The Tribe.

The series was mainly conceived by producers Harry Duffin and Raymond Thomson because the main sponsor of the original The Tribe series, Channel 5, had dropped out. The hope had been that The New Tomorrow would cause Channel 5 to reconsider.

Despite Cloud 9's reputation for casting the same actors in all of their shows, no actors from The Tribe were cast. Some did work behind the scenes on the series, namely Caleb Ross (The Tribes Lex) working on the sound foley and Vanessa Stacey (The Tribes Alice) who was the vocal coach to the young actors of The New Tomorrow.

Plot synopsis
The first few episodes deal with establishing the characters and setting. The two rivaling tribes of the forest; the warrior Barbs, led by the headstrong Zora, and the farmer Ants, led by the religious and peaceful Faygar, both live in fear of two things: the machines, and the Privileged, a power-hungry tribe led by the equally power-hungry Flame, who is assisted by his advisor Harmony, and warrior leader Shadow.

An outsider named Sky finds his way into the Barb tribe; he doesn't know where he came from, and his memory is messed up. He quickly makes friends there. An Ant whose name is Dan meets the Barb tribe, and decides he wants to be Barb, and not an Ant. Later, the Privs attack the Barb tribe, but Flame is defeated by Sky, and runs away.

During this time, Flame has also let one of the Discarded (the Privileged's slaves) become a Priv. Her name is Gwyn.

Following the attack, the Barbs and the Ants decide they must work together; they join forces, and decide, to avoid argument, that Sky must lead the tribes that are now working together. They make their base in the Ant tribe, and despite a few arguments, are willing to try to get along.

Flame sends Gwyn out as a spy to the tribes. She pretends to be an escaped Discard; she meets Dan, who is actually her brother. Despite her brother being there, she stays loyal to Flame and gives him crucial information. When she is going back to Privs (the Ants and Barbs don't know she's a spy yet) she asks Dan to come with her. He says no, and she goes back on her own.

With the new information, Flame kidnaps Faygar and Sky when they are out on a patrol. The Ants and Barbs are devastated about this, and Zora takes lead of the tribes.

Shadow and Harmony both are starting to get sick of Flame's selfishness, and they begin to scheme against him. Eventually, Flame and the Ant/Barbs decide a way to settle their differences: a game of passball (which is similar to the game Rugby). The Privs narrowly lose, and Harmony overthrows Flame, and Flame is taken by the Ant/Barbs and is kept prisoner. Although Harmony promised they would work together, she betrays Shadow and Discards him.

Faygar and Sky escape from the Discards: so does Shadow, and we don't see him again for the rest of the series (fans think he met with the 'Bird' tribe, see below). The tribes are overjoyed with the return of Faygar and Sky. Faygar and Zora have a few arguments, but then decide to share leadership of the tribe. Flame is set free, although he must work like the rest of the Ants and Barbs. Sky and Dan, out on a patrol, find a strange young boy, but it seems he can't speak. They take him back to the tribe and let him do what he wants.

Harmony needs a personal assistant. She chooses Gwyn. Although it seems like Gwyn is Harmony's slave at first, they soon become good friends. Very close, in fact. A mysterious Bird tribe comes and meets the Privs. It seems they want to trade. Harmony tells them they will meet with Zora and Faygar to discuss trading.

Eventually, they do meet at a meeting. Harmony realises the tribes have more in common than they thought, and it's as if they suddenly become friends. Except for the rude Bird tribe, who soon leave. Harmony also realises that friends are more important than power, and hands the throne back to Flame, who has also changed, and decides to free the Discards. The Privs say they hope they get to have more nights like this. Gwyn thinks about staying with her brother, but decides to stay with Privs, knowing that they'll get to see each other again soon.

After the meeting, the Birds come back to the Ant camp. It turns out the stranger who came to their tribe was their leader's brother. The Bird tribe came to take the boy back. Sky asks why he doesn't talk, and the leader says, "He only talks about things he likes." (The boy only had two lines in the show "Only the Prototype" and "BROTHER!". This means he likes his brother, and the machines). The 4 tribes now seem unified. The Birds leave, and the cast members of the Ant and Barb tribes stand around in a circle and Faygar says, "I'm sure we'll have many more adventures to come." They put their hands together and say "Yay!" and the credits end.

Links to The Tribe
It is still unclear as to how this show relates to The Tribe however there are several links which have been clearly established:
 * The Ants worship Bray as the Ancestor who will return and save them all.
 * The Ants believe that Zoot is an evil force who will come to tempt them.
 * None of the characters in The New Tomorrow are over the age of 13 which has led to the suggestion that they may have been within the vicinity of the virus released by Ram's AI however this remains only speculation, with no supporting evidence provided in the series.
 * The Ants have photographs of the Mall from The Tribe which they believe to be a spiritual place. Sky, it would appear, knows of the Mall.
 * There has been much speculation that Sky and maybe some of the other characters in The New Tomorrow may in fact be the children of Characters from The Tribe.
 * Characters Flame, Shadow, Harmony and Omar were written into the first two scripts of The Tribe series 6. These were featured as Bonus Items on the DVD of The Tribe: Series 5.
 * When Sky discovers the cave; he mentions that he sees "a boat drawing away and then a door" This could reflect The Tribe series 5 ending, where the Mall Rats escape from the city by boat.
 * In the cave there is a picture of two babies. These are Bray (Amber and Bray's baby) and Brady (Trudy and Zoot's baby)
