In Chitral , the border police force was reorganised and separated from Swat Levies while in Dir district and Malakand Agency Levies personnel were given separate designations as Dir Levies and Malakand Levies . Those personnel of Swat Levies who were serving in Malakand Agency , formed the nucleus for the Malakand Levies . In Dir district , the police force was introduced in addition to the Levies but in Malakand , no additional police force was recruited .

Epi tou eidikou The epi tou eidikou ( , " in charge of the special [ department ] " ) , also known simply as the [ e ] idikos , meaning " Special Secretary " , or , from the 11th century on , as the logothetes tou eidikou , was an official of the Byzantine Empire who controlled the department known as " eidikon " , a special treasury and storehouse . History and functions . The origin of the office is disputed : the department is first attested in the reign of Emperor Theophilos ( r . 829 – 842 ) , but some scholars ( e . g . R . Guilland ) derive the etymology of the " eidikon " department from the word " idikos " , " private " , indicating a continuation of the late Roman office of " comes rerum privatarum " . This view is rejected by others , notably J . B . Bury , who see it as a wholly separate institution , juxtaposing the " special " department of the " eidikon " with the " general " department or " genikon " , and consider it as originating in the military departments of the praetorian prefecture s . E . Stein on the other hand connected it to the word " eidos " , " ware " , and regarded the " eidikon " as the treasury for revenue paid in kind rather than coin . The " eidikon " fulfilled the dual function of imperial treasury and storehouse . As a treasury , it stored various precious materials such as silk or gold , and was responsible for the payment of the annual salaries ( " rogai " ) of officials of senatorial rank . As a storehouse , the " eidikon " controlled the state factories producing military equipment ( the late Roman " fabricae " ) and was responsible for supplying the necessary matériel for expeditions , ranging from weapons to " sails , ropes , hides , axes , wax , tin , lead , casks " for the fleet or even Arab clothing for the imperial spies . For expeditions in which the emperor himself took part , the " eidikos " accompanied the army at the head of his own baggage train of 46 pack - horses carrying everything " from shoes to candlesticks " , as well as large sums of gold and silver coinage for the emperor ' s use . The department is still attested as late as 1081 , but was probably abolished some time after ; R . Guilland suggested that the " logothesion " of the " oikeiakoi " ( " household men " ) took over its functions ( cf . " logothetes ton oikeiakon " ) . Staff . As with all the Byzantine department heads , the " eidikos " had a number of subordinate officials : The seat of the " eidikon " was in a special building within the Great Palace of Constantinople , which tradition ascribed to Constantine the Great ( r . 306 – 337 ) . It was situated between the great halls of the Triconchos and the Lausiakos , near the imperial audience hall of the Chrysotriklinos .

Brigantine In sailing , a brigantine or hermaphrodite brig is a vessel with two masts , only the forward of which is square rig ged . Origins of the term . Originally the brigantine was a small ship carrying both oars and sails . It was a favorite of Mediterranean pirates and its name comes from the Italian word " brigantino " , meaning brigand , and applied by extension to his ship . By the 17th century the term meant a two - masted ship . In the late 17th century , the Royal Navy used the term brigantine to refer to small two - masted vessels designed to be rowed as well as sailed , rigged with square rigs on the foremast and fore - and - aft rigging on the mainmast . By the first half of the 18th century the word had evolved to refer not to a ship type name , but rather to a particular type of rigging : square rig ged on the foremast and fore - and - aft rigged on the mainmast . The word " brig " is an 18th - century shortening of the word brigantine , which came to mean a vessel square - rigged on both masts . The early " Oxford English Dictionary " ( with citations from 1720 to 1854 ) still defined brig as being either identical to a brigantine , or alternatively , a vessel of similar sail plan to a modern brig . By the middle of the 19th century modern meanings had more or less stabilised , although purists continue to debate the exact differences , or lack of them , between brig , brigantine , and hermaphrodite brig in both English and American usage . Modern brigantine rig . In modern parlance , a brigantine is a principally fore - and - aft rig with a square rigged foremast , as opposed to a brig which is square rigged on both masts . American usage sometimes uses hermaphrodite brig as a synonym for brigantine .

The Albert Canal connects Antwerp with Liège , and also the Meuse River with the Scheldt River . It also connects with the Canal Dessel - Turnhout - Schoten , and its total length is . The Albert Canal has a standard depth of just and an overhead clearance of just . The largest vessels that can use this canal are barges of just 10 , 000 tons - much smaller than the ones on the Rhine or the Danube or the ones in the waterways of the United States and Canada . Between Antwerp and Liège , there is a difference in elevation of , and six sets of canal lock s were needed to overcome this difference . Five canal locks each have a lift of , and these are located in Genk , Diepenbeek , Hasselt , Kwaadmechelen , and Olen , Belgium . The sixth lock at Wijnegem has a lift of . During most of the 1930s , before the completion of the Albert Canal , it took about seven days to travel from Antwerp to Liege by water . In the 21st century , that same distance can be covered in about 18 hours . History . The Albert Canal was constructed from 1930 through 1939 . The German construction company Hochtief AG worked on the canal between 1930 and 1934 , but then it was completed by Belgian companies . The Albert Canal was used for the first time in 1940 , but because of World War II , it intensive use began later , in 1946 . During World War II , the Albert canal functioned as a defense line . It was used not only to defend part of Belgium , but it also became the northeastern arrondissement s of France . The crossing of the canal by the Nazi German Wehrmacht and the destruction of the Fort Eben - Emael on May 11 , 1940 , was a milestone in the German invasion of Belgium .

The British Army also crossed the Albert Canal on its way north across Belgium and into The Netherlands , and the U . S . Army entered Belgium farther to the east on its way to liberate the rest of Belgium , and Luxembourg , and then proceed east to invade Nazi Germany . Hence , Belgium was liberated from the south by three different armies , two of which needed to cross the Albert Canal .
David Arianites David Arianites or Areianites ( ) was a high - ranking Byzantine commander of the early 11th century . The origin of the surname is uncertain and different theories have been proposed ranging from various anthroponomastic and toponymic derivations of the Indo - European word " arya " to the name of a minor Illyrian tribe the Arinistae / Armistae . The family is hence variously considered to have been of possibly Albanian or Iranian origin . David is generally considered to be the first member of the Arianiti clan active in late medieval Albania , but the connection can ' t be verified due to lack of sources . David initially held the title of " patrikios " , and became a senior general under Basil II . In 1017 Basil II invaded Bulgaria with a large army including Rus ' mercenaries . His objective was the town of Kastoria which controlled the road between Thessaly and the coast of modern Albania . He sent parts of his army under the commanders Constantine Diogenes and David Arianites to loot Pelagonia . Basil II himself managed to capture several minor Bulgarian castles but all attempts to seize Kastoria remained futile . Basil II installed David Arianites as " strategos autokrator " of Bulgaria , implying powers of command over the other regional " strategoi " in the northern Balkans ( Sirmium with Ras and Dyrrhachium ) . He was seated in Skopje . Constantine Arianites , the " magistros " and " doux " of Adrianople was possibly his son or close relative .
