Since the fall of the Bulgarian capital Preslav under Byzantine rule in 971 , there was a constant state of war between the two Empires . From 976 , the Bulgarian noble and later Emperor Samuil successfully fought against the Byzantines but from the beginning of the 11th century the fortune turned to Byzantium , which recovered from the severe losses . From 1002 Basil II launched annual campaigns against Bulgaria and seized many towns . In 1009 the Byzantines engaged the Bulgarian army to the east of Thessaloníki .

Obersturmführer Obersturmführer was a Nazi party paramilitary rank that was used in several Nazi organizations , such as the SA , SS , NSKK and the NSFK . Translated as “ senior assault ( or storm ) leader ” , the rank of " Obersturmführer " was first created in 1932 as the result of an expansion of the " Sturmabteilung " ( SA ) and the need for an additional rank in the officer corps . " Obersturmführer " also became an SS rank at that same time . An " SA - Obersturmführer " was typically a junior company commander in charge of between fifty to 100 soldiers . Within the SS , the rank of " Obersturmführer " carried a wider range of occupations from staff aide , Gestapo officer , concentration camp supervisor , and " Waffen - SS " platoon commander to name but a few . Within both the SS and SA , the rank of " Obersturmführer " was considered the equivalent of an " Oberleutnant " in the German " Wehrmacht " . The insignia for " Obersturmführer " was three silver pips and a silver stripe centered on a uniform collar patch . The rank was senior to an " Untersturmführer " ( or " Sturmführer " in the SA ) and junior to the rank of " Hauptsturmführer " . David Niven ' s British sapper character wore a captured SS uniform with this insignia in the 1961 movie " The Guns of Navarone " .
Wartime Elections Act The Wartime Elections Act was a bill passed on September 20 , 1917 by the Conservative government of Robert Borden during the Conscription Crisis of 1917 and was instrumental in pushing Liberals to join the Conservatives in the formation of the Canadian Unionist government . While the bill was an explicit attempt to get more votes for the government , it was also the first act giving women the vote in federal elections . The act gave the vote to the wives , widows , mothers , and sisters of soldiers serving overseas . They were the first women ever to be able to vote in Canadian federal elections , and were also a group that was strongly in favour of conscription . The act also disenfranchised " enemy - alien " citizens naturalized after March 31 , 1902 , unless they had relatives serving in the armed forces . At the time the act was passed , it was justified through the patriotic fever surrounding World War I . While it was opposed by those who were disenfranchised and other opponents of the government , it was widely supported by the majority of Canadians . The act was coupled with the Military Voters Act that further skewed the vote in favour of the Unionists . The two laws were effective helped government be re - elected in the 1917 election , but the Unionists were elected by a large enough margin that such they would have won anyway . In the long run , however , the laws so alienated French - Canadians and recent immigrants that they would vote Liberal for decades , greatly hurting the Conservative Party . After the war , the act was repealed , and all women were given the vote even if many Canadian politicians and other men were still very skeptical about giving women the right to vote .

Cocking handle The cocking handle ( also known as " charging handle or bolt handle " ) is a device on a firearm which , when operated , results in the hammer or striker being cocked or moved to the ready position . It allows the operator to pull the bolt to the rear , facilitating any number of the following : These devices vary significantly between firearms but may occur in the form of a small protrusion or hook from the side of the bolt , a pumped slide or lever . The slide in a pistol performs similar actions as a cocking handle . There are also additional factors concerning the design of cocking handles , and some of them are especially important if the weapon is for tactical use . One issue is the mean time between failures due to metal fatigue . Just like other parts , cocking handles sometimes break when weapons are heavily used . Another issue is whether the cocking handle is sufficiently large for use by someone wearing heavy glove s and protective clothing . The FN F2000 is one of the weapons that has this latter feature . Some weapons are designed with thumb grooves for extra grip when cocking a weapon to prevent releasing it before it has been pulled back all the way , such as the British SA80 family of rifles .

Fairmile A motor launch The Fairmile A motor launch was a type of Motor Launch designed by Fairmile Marine for the Royal Navy . Development . Shortly before the Second World War the British industrialist Noel Macklin submitted to the Admiralty an innovative plan for the series production of a motor launch . The design used prefabricated parts , which allowed various small concerns , such as furniture and piano manufacturers , to produce the individual components . These components could then be assembled in separate shipyards . The hull was to be made of double diagonal mahogany planking with plywood frames divided into nine watertight compartments . The Admiralty rejected the concept , and so the prototype was built as a private venture . In July 1939 , two months before the outbreak of war , the Admiralty had a change of heart and awarded Macklin a contract to build eleven further Type A Fairmiles . Service . The first vessel ( ML100 ) wasn ' t completed until May 1940 because of handling problems at low speeds ; however the subsequent boats had all entered service by July . Their role was to be anti - submarine escorts in coastal waters ; however once the better Fairmile B motor launch es began to enter service in the autumn of 1940 , the Type A boats were converted to minelayer s .

S . - Iraq Status of Forces Agreement . Dissolution . As the security situation in Iraq improved along with the capabilities of the Iraqi Security Forces , the primary focus of coalition forces shifted from combat operations to partnership and mentoring .

On 3 June 2009 , the Iraq Assistance Group cased its colors and its functions and personnel were merged into Multi - National Corps - Iraq . Training . Currently all Army Military Transition Teams ( MiTTs ) , receive training at Fort Riley , Kansas and Camp Buehring , Kuwait . Marine Corps MiTTs receive training both at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms , CA and the Advisor Training Group on Camp Pendleton , CA . Both the Army and Marine Corps teams then conduct their final in - theater training at what was formerly the Phoenix Academy located in Taji , Iraq before they are assigned to their Iraqi Army , Police or Border units . As of early 2009 the Phoenix Academy has merged with the former COIN CFE ( Counter Insurgency Center for Excellence ) to become COINSOC ( Counter Insurgency Stability Operations Center ) .
Battle of Noreia The Battle of Noreia in 112 BC , was the opening action of the Cimbrian War fought between the Roman Republic and the migrating Proto - Germanic tribes , the Cimbri and the Teutons ( Teutones ) . It ended in defeat , and near disaster , for the Romans . Prelude . The Cimbri and Teutones left their home lands around the Baltic sea in the Jutland peninsula and Southern Scandinavia . They travelled southeast and encountered the Scordisci with whom they fought . Following their victory over the latter , they arrived at the Danube in Noricum ( 113 BC ) which was home to the Taurisci , allies with Rome . Unable to repel these new invaders , the Taurisci appealed to Rome for assistance . The consul Gnaeus Papirius Carbo responded the following year , leading the legions into Noricum , where he took up a position on the heights near Aquileia . Battle . Carbo ordered them to vacate the territory of the Taurisci at once . The Cimbri had heard many stories from other tribes about the fearsome power of Rome , and after seeing the size of the Roman army and the strength of its position , they complied . However , Carbo was not going to allow enemies of Rome ( nor an opportunity to gain a triumph ) to escape . He had sent guides , to escort the Cimbri and Teutones to the frontier , however , they were actually going to lead them into an ambush the consul had prepared . But somehow , perhaps due to being warned by their scouts or spies or possibly due to the treachery of one of the guides , the Cimbri became aware of Carbo ' s plan and , according to Theodor Mommsen : An engagement took place not far from Noreia in the modern Carinthia , in which the betrayed gained the victory over the betrayer and inflicted on him considerable loss ; a storm , which separated the combatants , alone prevented the complete annihilation of the Roman army . Aftermath . Carbo managed to escape with his life and the remnants of his army ( though the Germanic tribesmen had erroneously thought and boasted that they had caught and slain their betrayer ) . He was disgraced and impeached as consul by the senate , but was not exiled ( such punishment was rare among the Romans according to Nate Rosenstein " Imperatores Victi " ) . Rome prepared for the worst , but instead of invading Italy the Cimbri and Teutones headed west , towards Gaul . There , in 105 BC , at the Battle of Arausio , the Cimbri and Teutones would decisively defeat a Roman army .
Theophylact Botaneiates Theophylact Botaniates ( " Theophylaktos Botaneiates " ) was an 11th - century Byzantine general and governor of Thessalonica . In 1014 the Byzantine Emperor Basil II invaded Bulgaria and reached the ramparts around the village of Klyuch ( Kleidion in Greek ) . To distract his attention , the Bulgarian emperor Samuel sent a large army under Nestoritsa towards Thessalonica . Botaniates and his son Michael met the Bulgarians and defeated them in the vicinity of the city , after which he joined Basil ' s troops . After the Byzantine victory in the subsequent battle of Kleidion he was sent with an army to clear the road to Thessalonica . On his way back to Basil ' s main camp however , his army was ambushed by the Bulgarians under Gavril Radomir and Botaneiates himself was killed by Radomir ' s spear .
