Karl Friedrich Bahrdt - von Salis (1728-1800). The school had languished since the death of its founder and first head, Martin Planta (1727-1772), and von Salis hoped to revive it by reconstituting it as a "Philanthropin" under Bahrdt's management. The experiment was a failure; Bahrdt, never at ease under the strict discipline maintained by von Salis, resigned in 1777, and the school was closed. At the invitation of the count of Leiningen-Dachsburg, Bahrdt now went as general superintendent to Durkheim on the Hardt; his luckless translation of the Testament, however, pursued him, and in 1778 he was suspended by a decision of the high court of the Empire.

Hardenberg, who happened to be in Berlin at the time, was on the recommendation of Herzberg appointed administrator of the principalities (1792). The position, owing to the singular overlapping of territorial claims in the old Empire, was one of considerable delicacy, and Hardenberg filled it with great skill, doing much to reform traditional anomalies and to develop the country, and at the same time labouring to expand the influence of Prussia in South Germany. After the outbreak of the revolutionary wars his diplomatic ability led to his appointment as Prussian envoy, with a roving commission to visit the Rhenish courts and win them over to Prussia's views; and ultimately, when the necessity for making.

Kabaah - the long-nosed rain god Chac; it is also known as the Codz Poop, meaning "Rolled Matting", from the pattern of the stone mosaics. This massive repetition of a single set of elements is unusual in Maya art, and here is used to unique effect. Masks of the rain god abound on other strutures throughout the site. Copal incense has been discovered in some of the stone noses of the raingods. The site also has a number of other palaces, low stone buildings, and step-pyramid temples. While most is in the "Puuc" Maya style, some show "Chenes" elements. The site had a number of scupted panels, lintels, and door-jams, most of which have been removed to museums elsewhere. The sculptures mostly depict the site's rulers and scenes of warfare. The first detailed.
Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick - continue in the war as a general officer. The exploits of the hereditary prince, as he was called, soon gained him further reputation, and he became an acknowledged master of irregular warfare. In pitched battles, and in particular at Minden and Warburg, he proved himself an excellent subordinate. After the close of the Seven Years' War, the prince visited England with his bride, the daughter of Frederick, Prince of Wales, and in 1766 he went to France, being received both by his allies and his late enemies with every token of respect. In Paris he made the acquaintance of Marmontel; in Switzerland, whither he continued his tour, that of Voltaire; and in Rome, where he remained for a long time, he explored the antiquities of the city under the guidance of.
Kenneth Kaunda - during the 1968 elections and becoming increasingly intolerant of opposition, Kaunda banned all political parties but UNIP in 1972 and made Zambia a one-party state. His policies made Zambia increasingly dependent on revenues from copper exports. By the mid-1980s corruption and a economic downturn meant that the Kaunda regime had lost public support. Pressure for a return to multiparty politics increased and Kaunda yielded and called for multiparty elections in 1991, in which the Movement for Multiparty Democracy(MMD) won and made Frederick Chiluba president..

Ken Russell - and beginning to make his own films. One of his first major successes was a BBC documentary about the life of Edward Elgar, and his TV film about the life of Frederick Delius, as seen through the eyes of Eric Fenby, was also well-received. His first major feature film was 1969's Women in Love, based on the novel by D. H. Lawrence. More work in a similar vein followed, including The Music Lovers (1970), a biopic of Tchaikovsky which drew attention to his homosexuality, and The Devils, based on Aldous Huxley's book The Devils of Loudun, starring Vanessa Redgrave in a highly controversial role as a nun. By the 1990s, Russell's work had attracted so much media attention that he was widely regarded as unemployable, and he is now largely reliant.
Kingdom of Jerusalem - of France and Germany decided to attack not Zengi's son Nur ad-Din (who had succeeded him in 1146), but the friendly Emir of Damascus. The Crusade ended in defeat in 1148. Shortly thereafter, Baldwin III began his personal rule, although his mother Melisende unsuccessfully attempted to take control of the Kingdom herself. Like his predecessors, Baldwin was an able King, and conquered Ascalon from the Fatimids, the last Egyptian outpost on the Palestinian coast. At the same time, though, the overall crusader situation became worse, as Nur ad-Din succeeded in taking Damascus and unifying Muslim Syria under his rule. Baldwin III died mysteriously in 1162, and was succeeded by his brother Amalric I. Amalric's reign was taken up with competition with Nur ad-Din and his wily some-time subordinate Saladin over control.
Kingsley Amis - Amis was placed in a group of young writers labeled Angry Young Men. Lucky Jim is considered a seminal work, the first to feature an ordinary person as anti-hero. Amis had long been interested in science fiction. His book New Maps of Hell (1960?) was his interpretation of the better aspects of science fiction. He was very enthusiastic about the dystopian works of Frederick Pohl and C.M. Kornbluth, and in New Maps, he coined the term "comic inferno" for a type of humorous dystopia, particlarly common in the works of Robert Sheckley. With the Sovietologist Robert Conquest he produced a series of science fiction anthologies Spectrum I-IV, which drew heavily on Astounding Science Fiction from the 1950s for its sources. In his own writings in the science fiction/fantasy genre, he wrote.
Kirtland Safety Society - a charter would eventually be granted, the KSSABC began issuing notes. However, even before the second attempt to acquire a charter and at the behest of Grandison Newell, Samuel D. Rounds swore a writ against Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon for illegal banking and issuing unauthorized bank paper. This trial was postponed until October. In the meantime, despite Joseph Smith's strong admonitions to the Kirtland community against speculation, the KSSABC failed due primarily to speculation and insolvency (most of the KSSABC reserves were tied up in land rather than liquid silver as some erroneously believed) as bank failures across the nation spread to Ohio. Joseph took out loans from other banks and sold personal property to shore up the KSSABC, but finally resigned from the KSSABC and disposed of his interests.
Kingdom of Cyprus - Eastern Orthodox Church of Cyprus, with its own archbishop and subject to no patriarch, was allowed to remain on the island, but the Latin Church largely displaced it in power. After the death of Amalric of Lusignan, the Kingdom continually passed to a series of young boys who grew up as king. The Ibelin family, which had held much power in Jerusalem prior its downfall, acted as regents during these early years. In 1229 one of the Ibelin regents was forced out of power by Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, who brought the struggle between the Guelphs and Ghibellines to the island. Frederick's supporters were defeated in this struggle by 1233, although it lasted longer in Palestine and in Europe. Frederick's Hohenstaufen descendants continued to rule as kings of Jerusalem until.
Kilij Arslan II - after Manuel's death to secure most of the southern coast of Anatolia, and allied with Saladin, Nur ad-Din's successor, that same year. In 1185 he made peace with Emperor Isaac II Angelus, but the next year he transferred power to his nine sons, who immediately fought each other for control. Despite Kilij Arslan's alliance with Saladin he was unable to stop the armies of the Third Crusade, but the remnants of the German army were in any case destroyed by the Turks after the death of Frederick Barbarossa. Kilij Arslan died in 1192. He was succeeded by Kay Khosru I, although his other sons continued to fight for control of the other parts of the sultanate..
Kingdom of Thessalonica - Henry's brother Eustache then became regent for Demetrius. Taking advantage of this situation, Michael Ducas of Epirus, a former ally of Boniface, attacked the kingdom in 1210, as did the Bulgarians. Henry of Flanders eventually defeated both. Michael's brother Theodore continued the assault on the kingdom after Michael's death in 1215. Over the next nine years Theodore gradually conquered all of Thessalonica except the city itself, as the Latin Empire could spare no army to defend it while they were busy fighting the more powerful Byzantine state of the Empire of Nicaea. In 1224, just as Demetrius had become old enough to take power for himself, Theodore finally captured Thessalonica and the kingdom became part of the Despotate of Epirus. Kings of Thessalonica Boniface of Montferrat (1204-1207) Demetrius of Montferrat (1207-1224).
King in the mountain - the mountain is located. The presence of the hero is unsuspected, until some herdsman wanders into the cave, typically looking for a lost animal, and sees the hero. The stories almost always mention the detail that the hero has grown a long beard, indicative of the long time he has slept beneath the mountain. Drawing from an 1881 encyclopedia. Frederick sends out the boy to see whether the ravens still fly. Often the hero speaks with the herdsman. Their conversation typically involves the hero asking, "Do the eagles (or ravens) still circle the mountaintop?" The herdsman, or a mysterious voice, replies, "Yes, they still circle the mountaintop." "Then begone! My time has not yet come." The herdsman is usually supernaturally harmed by the experience: he ages rapidly, he emerges with his.
