# King's Rangers

The King's Rangers, also known as the King's American Rangers, was a Loyalist provincial ranger unit that specialized in close combat, irregular warfare, raiding, reconnaissance, and tracking. It raised in Nova Scotia for service during the American Revolutionary War.

## Formation

After Colonel Robert Rogers left the Queen's Rangers in 1777 he went to Nova Scotia. He obtained approval from General Sir Henry Clinton to raise the King's Rangers in 1779. The formation of the Rangers was authorized to contain two battalions, each divided into 10 companies.

## Early actions

By September 1779 recruitment for the unit was underway and the Rangers were stationed at Fort St. Johns on the Richelieu River. Robert Rogers assumed command of the unit with his brother, James Rogers, commanding the second battalion of the Rangers. Despite Robert nominally being in command of the Rangers, he was inefficient and the burden of recruitment often fell to his brother.
Despite recruitment issues being faced by the Rangers, the second battalion was active in scouting and recruiting along the frontiers of New York, Lake Champlain and the area that was to later become Vermont. They also engaged in the taking of Patriot prisoners of war.
A year after the formation of the Rangers the area in which they were able to recruit from was extended with the permission of General Sir Frederick Haldimand. Due to the relatively small size of the Rangers, Haldimand restricted their operational capabilities to conducting reconnaissance for other corps, constructing fortifications, executing general garrison duties, assisting refugees in Quebec, aiding the escape of Loyalist families, and guarding prisoners of war.

## Later engagements

In February 1781, a number of soldiers from the Rangers were involved in the capture of Patriot leader Peleg Wadsworth. The Rangers were disbanded in 1783, having seen little to no action during the conflict.

## Disbandment

After the Revolutionary War, some officers and men of the Rangers were granted tracts of land for farming in Queens County and Kings County, Prince Edward Island, British Canada. The Rangers were reactivated during the War of 1812 and a large training camp was built in what is now the village of Pownal, complete with barracks, a field hospital and musketry range (of which the butts can still be seen on the shore of Pownal Bay).

# Kitsch movement

Kitsch painting is an international movement made up of classical painters, a result of a 24 September 1998 speech and philosophy given by the Norwegian figurative artist, Odd Nerdrum, later clarified in his book On Kitsch with Jan-Ove Tuv and others. The movement incorporates the techniques of the Old Masters with narrative, romanticism, and emotionally charged imagery. The movement defines Kitsch as synonymous with the arts of ancient Rome or the techne of ancient Greece. Kitsch painters embrace kitsch as a positive term not in opposition to "art", but as its own independent superstructure. Kitsch painters assert that Kitsch is not an art movement, but a philosophical movement separate from art. The Kitsch movement has been considered an indirect criticism of the contemporary art world, but according to Nerdrum, this is not the expressed intention.

## Origins of kitsch painting philosophy

The philosophy originated by Nerdrum first manifested into a group among Nerdrum's circle of students Jan-Ove Tuv, Helene Knoop, Hege Elizabeth Haugen, Monika Helgesen, Jeremy Caniglia, Kjetil Jul, Brad Silverstein, Carlos Madrid, Stefan Boulter, Brandon Kralik, Nanne Nyander, and soon expanded. Many kitsch painters were featured in and contributed essays to Nerdrum's book Kitsch: More than Art

## Collaborations

The Kitsch Movement has collaborated with The Florence Academy in a 2009 biennale exhibition titled "Immortal Works". a traveling exhibition which includes painters from around the world.

# Kingston upon Thames Crown Court

Kingston upon Thames Crown Court is a Crown Court venue which deals with criminal cases at 6–8 Penrhyn Road, Kingston upon Thames, London.

## History

Until the late 1990s, Crown Court hearings were held at the Sessions House in Surbiton. However, as the number of criminal cases in southwest London grew, it became necessary to commission a more substantial courthouse for southwest London. The site selected by the Lord Chancellor's Department in The Bittoms had been the site of a Royal palace in the 13th century, but was occupied by the Third Kingston Scout Group by the mid-20th century: it was acquired by Surrey County Council for redevelopment in 1966.
Work on the new building started in February 1994. It was designed and built by a joint venture of HBG and Kyle Stewart in the modernist style in brick and glass with stone dressings at a cost of £18 million and was completed in 1997. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of eleven bays facing onto Penrhyn Road with the central five bays projected forward. The central bay featured a recessed full-height glass atrium with a semi-circular revolving door on the ground floor, a modern oriel window and a Royal coat of arms on the first floor and a small pediment above. Internally, the principal rooms were the courtrooms which were equipped with curtains to hide the witnesses where necessary.
Notable cases heard at the court include the trial and conviction of six men, including Abu Izzadeen, Sulayman Keeler and Abdul Rahman Saleem, in 2008, on charges of supporting terrorism and the trial and conviction of Kirk Reid, in 2009, on 28 charges of rape and sexual assault.

# Kisandol

Kisandol is a small village within the Tarakeshwar municipality of Nepal's Kathmandu District. It is located about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) north Kathmandu. The village is spread over a small hill and has around 200 houses.

## History and development

Before 1990, Kisandol had only one school, a small primary school called Jitpur Prathamik Vidyalaya, which was used to educate the men and boys of the village, whose residents were largely impoverished and uneducated. it was also without proper protection from the elements and had to close during inclement weather. At this point, the village as a whole lacked drinking water, plumbing, electricity, and infrastructure such as roads.
In 1989, the NGO Plan International began adopting out girls from Kisandol into families who could send them to good schools, either within or outside of Nepal. They also installed basic plumbing and access to clean drinking water. Kisandol's first road was set in 1990 and a more secure school building was erected in 1992. Within 5 years, it had become the Jitpur Higher Secondary School and in 1998 an additional building was added to accommodate the number of students enrolled. By 2001, Kisandol had higher education classes in arts and commerce. As of 2012, the school was enrolling more female students than males and the village had two additional schools: a high school and a private English boarding school.
As of 2024, it is well equipped with the facilities of electricity, internet services, transportation a d education. Immigration has increased as people from neighboring districts like Nuwakot have started moving in the village for agriculture and commerce.

## Commerce

Kisandol has historically been a farming village but by the early 2010s more poultry farms had cropped up.

# Koenwald

Koenwald or Cenwald or Coenwald (floruit 928–958) was an Anglo-Saxon Bishop of Worcester, probably of Mercian origin.

## Life

Koenwald succeeded Bishop Wilfrith at some time between 16 April 928, when Wilfrith is last known to have witnessed a charter, and 15 October 929, when Koenwald was recorded as arriving as a bishop at the Abbey of St Gall, which was then in the Holy Roman Empire.
Before he became bishop, Koenwald seems to have been a priest in the household of King Æthelstan. In the autumn of 929 he visited Germany. His visit was only recorded in a manuscript at St Gall, where it is described as a tour of German monasteries. In 929 the German King Henry the Fowler sought a wife for his son, the future Holy Roman Emperor Otto, from the English court. In response Æthelstan sent two of his half-sisters for the prince to choose between, and in late 929 or early 930 Otto married Eadgyth. It is likely that Koenwald had been sent by Æthelstan to Germany to accompany the sisters. He seems to have been given silver by Æthelstan to distribute in Germany, and while at St Gall, he was received into the confraternity of that monastery, and asked at that time that his king as well as a number of his fellow English bishops be also entered into the monastery's confraternity.
Koenwald's visit to St. Gall and to Reichenau is thought to be connected to the rise of the monastic reform movement in 10th century England. Dunstan and Æthelwold of Winchester, the leading ecclesiastical proponents of reform, were associated with Athelstan's court, and Dunstan would eventually succeed Koenwald. Several charters witnessed by Koenwald also describe him as monk, as well as bishop, "suggesting a respect for the condition which set him apart from other bishops".
Koenwald appears to have been responsible for the "alliterative charters" which were issued between 940 and 956. These are described as "drawn up in a self-consciously 'literary' style (replete with alliterative and rhythmical phrases)". These have some features of earlier charters of King Athelstan, from the period 928–935, with which Koenwald may also be associated. The author of some of these may be one Ælfric, later a priest and deacon in the service of Bishop Oswald of Worcester, a strong supporter of Dunstan, and the monastic reform movement. The difficult Latin entry inserted into the Mac Durnan Gospels, which Æthelstan donated to Christ Church, Canterbury, has been ascribed to Koenwald and may be seen as a prelude to the convoluted style of this alliterative group.
Koenwald was succeeded by Dunstan in 958 or 959. Keynes quotes John of Worcester's Chronicle where Koenwald is called "a man of great humility". The year of his death is not known, but the date, and a further link between Koenwald and Dunstan, may have been kept in the records of Glastonbury Abbey. Bishop Koenwald, a monk of Glastonbury, was commemorated on 28 June, the anniversary of his death.
The Handbook of British Chronology, gives Koenwald's death date as 28 June 957 or 958, but according to Simon Keynes, he witnessed a charter issued by King Edgar in 958 and was succeeded in that or the following year by Dunstan.
