New Kids is a Dutch drama sketch show about a group of anti-social youths from Maaskantje, a village in the southern province of North Brabant. It was created by Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil.
The show was first shown on Flabber.nl, a Dutch blog, as a succession to De Pulpshow, which aired in 2001. Later, it was picked up by 101 TV and Comedy Central. It was named New Kids on the Block for the first two seasons.
The show became highly popular in both the Netherlands and Germany and spawned two full-length movies, New Kids Turbo and New Kids Nitro.
Most of the locations shot in New Kids are filmed in the nearby village Den Dungen.
The main characters habitually use the word 'kut' (Dutch for cunt), usually at the end of a sentence.
The series follows the misadventures of a group of young men, who live in the small village of Maaskantje in North Brabant. Maaskantje's distinctly rustic and pleasant appearance as a traditional village is juxtaposed by the actions of the group, who are antisocial and indulge in the 'Gabber' culture. They drink excessively, eat junkfood and ride noisily around the village in a garish Opel Manta. Just about every sentence they speak is mindlessly punctuated by the expletive 'kut' ('cunt', it should be noted that in Dutch this word doesn't carry the same severity as it does in American English, although it is nevertheless considered crude). Although most of the characters work, none of them appear particularly adept in their jobs.
The Domain Name System of the Internet consists of a set of top-level domains which constitute the root domain of the hierarchical name space and database. In the growth of the Internet, it became desirable to expand the set of initially six generic top-level domains in 1984. As a result new top-level domain names have been proposed for implementation by ICANN. Such proposals included a variety of models ranging from adoption of policies for unrestricted gTLDs that could be registered by anyone for any purpose, to chartered gTLDs for specialized uses by specialized organizations. In October 2000, ICANN published a list of proposals for top-level domain strings it had received.
"The Kids" is the lead single taken from British funk/acid jazz band Jamiroquai's second studio album, The Return of the Space Cowboy, though it was recorded shortly after the Emergency on Planet Earth sessions. The single was only released in Japan, on 30 June 1994. "The Kids" is a song that deals with the rights of children and their social status in the world. The song is written to be absurdly loud and high in tempo, to possibly represent the immaturity of children, and more generally the whole early childhood of a person, which is usually a carefree time of life.
It is commonly known amongst fan circles that "The Kids" was written and performed during the 1993 Emergency on Planet Earth tour. It may either have been an outtake from the album, or simply a song written after the album was fully produced and released. The live version of the track played during the tour had a different chorus when compared to the official album version. After "The Kids" was recorded with previous drummer, Nick Van Gelder, Derrick McKenzie replaced Nick, and all tracks from the Space Cowboy recording sessions were re-recorded with McKenzie on drums, aside from "The Kids", on which van Gelder's drumming remains. The song was probably left to be because of time constraints related to the mastering process, production and release.
Kids: Fun Stuff To Do Together was a children's magazine published in the mid-2000s (unrelated to the earlier Kids magazine of the 1970s). Kids, which was originally launched in 2001 as Martha Stewart Kids, specialized in projects that children could make, either by themselves or along with their parents. It was published quarterly by Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Kids was also a winner of the prestigious 2005 and 2006 National Magazine Award for Design, and in 2005 for Photography by the American Society of Magazine Editors.
On March 1, 2006, the publishers of Kids announced that the company decided to discontinue the full-sized quarterly magazine with the Spring 2006 issue in favor for a new digest sized publication, Good Things for Kids, which will be published biannually and carries no advertising. Current readers were given the option to subscribe to Everyday Food for the remainder of their subscription.
The chimneys of Chemnitz [x3]
The chimneys of Chemnitz, we ain't ever going home.
Dark grey clouds on the horizon,
The dim lit streets are all empty now.
The sound of factories grates in my ears,
The ashes have grown cold and the flames are all gone.
Bricks and glass, all smashed to pieces,
And bullet holes in the concrete walls.
There's no place for us in this city,
But to say goodnight took us all night long.
We'll hit the streets again.
And next year we'll be back again!

The chimneys of Chemnitz, we ain't ever going home.
Dark grey clouds on the horizon,
The dim lit streets are all empty now.
So tell me please why is everybody running?
The war is won and the tanks are all gone.
We'll hit the streets again.
And next year we'll be back again!
