Lara said: "not many expected us to reach the final but we showed we were good enough for that. I am happy the boys fought till the end, it was a very close game.

# Baluarte Zoo

**Baluarte Zoo** is a zoological park in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. It was established by politician and businessman, Chavit Singson.

## History

The Baluarte Zoo was established by local politician and businessman, Chavit Singson. Initially it was only a rest house for Singson. The site was already known as Baluarte prior to Singson's arrival, which came from the Spanish term for "stronghold" or "fortress".

Singson, who cites his hunting hobby as his motive in setting up Baluarte only considered opening a zoo when his hunting trophy collection grew too big. He thought that a zoo would serve to edify it patrons aside from promoting conservation and protection of endangered species. Described as an interactive wildlife sanctuary, the facility was designed and developed by Singson himself.

Operations were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the zoo has since reopened.

In 2024, a zoo employee was dismissed for hitting a lion to make it pose for photographs.

## Features

### Animals in captivity

The Baluarte Zoo had various wild animals under captivity. This includes ostriches, Bengal tigers and lions. The zoo also has a butterfly sanctuary.

The Safari Gallery is a trophy room which features the preserved remains of animals Chavit Singson personally hunted and killed in various parts of the world. Singson intended the gallery for people of Ilocos so they could see exotic animals without going to Manila or outside the country.

# Battle of Kaliabor

The **Battle of Kaliabor**, also known as **Battle of Kaliabar**, marked a pivotal naval military confrontation between the Mughal Empire, under the command of its general Mir Jumla II, and the Ahom dynasty, led by Bargohain, on March 3, 1662, near the location known as Kaliabor, situated in modern-day Assam.

During the Mughal war of succession, the Ahoms seized the opportunity to invade the Mughal territory of Kamrup. After Aurangzeb ascended to the Mughal throne, he appointed one of his generals, Mir Jumla II who had aided him in the war as the Governor of Bengal. Subsequently, he dispatched this general to launch a campaign against the Ahom dynasty of Assam in order to reclaim lost territories. As the Mughal forces advanced towards the Ahom capital, they encountered an attack from the Ahoms near Kaliabar, where the Ahoms were numerically superior to the Mughals. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the Mughals emerged victorious, capturing a significant number of Ahoms as prisoners of war.

## Background

In the northeast of the Mughal Empire, Bengal's expanding export economy and the presence of Muslim settlers created a potential area for aggressive military campaigns. The Mughal control remained relatively weak in this region. When Shah Shuja's governorship of Bengal was disrupted by the succession war due to the death of Shah Jahan, local landlords like Prem Narayan, the ruler of Kuch Bihar, rebelled. Concurrently, Jayadhwaj Sinha, the Ahom king, dispatched an army to invade and annex Kamrup, the Mughal border district along the Brahmaputra River.

After being defeated by Aurangzeb, Shah Shuja sought refuge in Arakan. In acknowledgment of Mir Jumla's commendable service over the past sixteen months despite facing numerous challenges, Aurangzeb decided to appoint him as the permanent Governor of Bengal. In mid-1660, Aurangzeb, determined to re-establish control over the northeast region, appointed Muhammad Said Mir Jumla, his ally from the Deccan, as the governor of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa. During his initial year in office, Mir Jumla overhauled the provincial administration, revived revenue collection, and effectively enforced Mughal authority across all three regions. He relocated the provincial capital from Rajmahal to Dhaka, aligning with the eastward shift in Bengal's population and economy. Additionally, he made significant investments in various trading ventures, collaborating with both his own agents and European trading companies.

Initially, Mir Jumla annexed Kuch Bihar to the Mughal Empire, demonstrating both vigor and conciliation in his administration. He ordered the call to prayer, known as azan, to be recited from the royal palace terrace. War materials captured were confiscated for the imperial government and sent to Dhaka. Some goods belonging to the King of Koch Bihar were reviewed by Muhammad Abid, the escheat officer. The name Kuch Bihar was changed to Alamgirnagar. Until the appointment of Askar Khan as the permanent faujdar by the Emperor, upon the General's recommendation, Isfandiyar Beg (now titled Khan), son of Allah Yar Khan, served as the acting faujdar of the region. He was supported by Qazi Samui Shujai as diwan and Mir Abdur Razzaq and Khwajah Kish or Das Mansabdar as amirs.

Similar to the Bhuiyas of Bengal, the Maghs, and the Feringhis, the Ahoms posed a significant threat to the security of the Mughals in Bengal, particularly along the northeastern frontier. By November 1661, Mir Jumla was ready to embark on a campaign described as "a holy war with the infidels of Assam," as reported by his official news correspondent.

## Preparations and initial conflicts

### The Ahom forces

The exact number of war-boats possessed by the Ahoms remains uncertain. The historian Fathiya suggests a remarkably high figure exceeding 32,000. Whereas Talish mentions estimates derived from reports of the "Waqiahnavis" of Gauhati, indicating that by 1662, no fewer than 32,000 boats had arrived. Considering those engaged for the army and those belonging to the Assamese, it is plausible that more than half belonged to the Assamese. It's reasonable to estimate that the Ahoms deployed around 1000 war-boats against Mir Jumla, outnumbering his naval strength by more than threefold. However, little is known about the naval organization of the Ahoms and the personnel of such a large flotilla. Only a few Ahom officers' names are recorded, such as the Naubaicha, who oversaw 1000 men for manning royal boats, and the Nausalia Phukan, tasked with one thousand carpenters for boat construction and repair.

According to Wade, the Ahom mariners lacked proficiency compared to the Mughals when navigating the open sea. They also lacked the essential skills for artillery use. Additionally, bridges over rivers were occasionally built by workers brought in from Bengal, as the local population lacked the required expertise.

### The Mughal forces

The Mughal governor Mir Jumla gathered a formidable force consisting of 12,000 cavalry, 30,000 foot soldiers, and a flotilla comprising several hundred-armed vessels. Among these vessels were ten ghurabs, or floating batteries, each carrying fourteen guns and towed by four rowing boats. Additionally, the son of the King of Koch Bihar, recently converted to Islam, allied with the Mughals in their campaign against the Ahoms.

### Capturing Ahom forts

The Mughals advanced towards Gharaghat on the right bank of the Karatoya river and reached the Brahmaputra five days later. The army and fleet were instructed to march in close coordination. Dilir Khan led the vanguard, Mir Murtaza was responsible for communication, and the fleet was commanded by admiral Ibn Husain, with assistance from subordinate admirals Jamal Khan and Manawar Khan. Successively, forts of the Ahoms fell into the hands of the Mughals. Strategic posts like Jogigopa at the mouth of the Manas river (opposite Goalpara), Saraighat at the mouth of Bar Nadi, and Pandu and Kajali at the mouth of the Kallang river were evacuated by the Ahoms. Despite the strength and number parity between the Ahom and Mughal fleets, the Ahom fleet did not engage with the imperial fleet until it reached Kajali, which appears peculiar.

## The Battle

The Mughal army reached a location called Kaliabar in the Nowgong district, where a significant naval battle took place on March 3, 1662. Due to the presence of hills along the Brahmaputra River from this point onward, the imperial army had to move away from the riverbank, becoming disconnected from their fleet. This temporary separation of the invading army from the navy provided the Ahoms with the opportunity they desired to launch a vigorous attack. The isolation of the Mughal fleet, coupled with the accidental absence of its admiral Ibn Husain (along with some ships) from the main fleet, emboldened the Ahoms to destroy the imperial fleet.

On the night of March 3, 1662, as the imperial fleet had recently anchored above Kaliabar, an Ahom armada of 700-800 ships under the command of its admiral Bargohain launched a sudden and vigorous assault on the Mughal fleet. Glanius reports that the enemy's fleet consisted of 600 ships. Meanwhile, upon hearing the night-long cannonade, Mir Jumla dispatched Muhammad Mumin Beg Ekkataz Khan to assist the beleaguered fleet, particularly the English, Dutch, and Portuguese ships in the Mughal army, which were erroneously reported by a Moorish informer to have been lost. Due to the lack of habitable areas, unstable ground, dense jungles, and muddy terrain, Muhammad Mumin was unable to reach the fleet during the night. However, he arrived early the next morning accompanied by 10 or 12 horsemen and ordered the trumpets to be blown.

This turn of events decisively determined the outcome of the stubborn contest. Encouraged by Muhammad Mumin's arrival, the Mughals intensified their efforts, while the demoralized Ahoms fled, some by boat and others on land. The Mughals captured around 300 or 400 ships, each armed with "big guns," in addition to powder and lead. Since even the smallest ship accommodated 70 men, it is estimated that at least 21,000 men were taken as prisoners of war. Many were slain by the pursuing Mughal columns, who were instructed not to show mercy. The 50 Ahoms who managed to escape were sentenced by their king to undergo severe punishment. Although the Ahom admiral was captured despite his disguise, he was released at the request of some of Mir Jumla's senior officers. The remaining 300 Ahom vessels anchored about a mile away from Mir Jumla's camp, where they were sunk the following day by artillery fire. Those that fled to the other bank were pursued and some were captured. The effectiveness of the Assamese navy was completely annihilated as a result. This was the most decisive victory of Mir Jumla along his campaign against Ahoms.

The reasons behind the Ahom navy's defeat are evident. Despite their overwhelming numerical superiority and the advantage of the upstream current, they failed to capitalize on these factors. While it initially seemed that the Mughal fleet would be overwhelmed by the sheer force of the Ahom fleet, the heavy Ahom "bacharis" manned by 60 or 70 men each were less maneuverable compared to the lighter and swifter Mughal "kosas." Additionally, the Ahom cannons, although planted on their boats, were smaller and had limited range, as demonstrated by their inability to significantly damage the Mughal boats even at close range. The failure of the Ahom fleet to capture the hard-pressed Dutch vessels, which were temporarily separated from the main Mughal fleet, highlights the ineffectiveness of the Ahom navy. However, the close cooperation between the Mughal and European admirals, along with their determined fighting, enabled the Mughal fleet to withstand the crisis. The timely dispatch of Muhammad Mumin Beg by Mir Jumla to assist the imperiled imperial fleet ultimately tipped the scales in favor of the Mughals.

## Aftermath

By March 1662, the Mughal army proceeded inland, leaving the fleet behind, aiming to capture Garghaon, the capital from which the Ahom ruler and his court had fled. The spoils of war were substantial, including treasure, stored rice, weapons, and armed riverboats. With the onset of the rainy season, Mir Jumla stationed his forces near the capital, while the Ahoms severed the line of Mughal outposts leading back to the Brahmaputra fleet. From May to October, the Mughal army in the capital and the river fleet at Lakhau endured famine, disease, continuous Ahom assaults, and desertions.

As the rains ceased and supplies and reinforcements arrived, the Mughal army was able to confront the Ahoms once more. Ultimately, in early 1663, the Swargadeo (Heavenly King) and his nobles sought peace. The Ahom ruler agreed to become a Mughal vassal, send a daughter with a dowry for marriage to the imperial court, surrender significant treasure and elephants, and cede extensive territories in Darrang and western districts. Mir Jumla began organizing a phased withdrawal and the administration of the newly acquired districts, but he fell seriously ill and passed away in March 1663.

title: 29th Battalion (Australia)

abstract: The 29th Battalion was an infantry battalion of the Australian Army. First formed in 1915 for service during the First World War as part of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF), it fought in the trenches of the Western Front in France and Belgium before being disbanded in late 1918 to provide reinforcements for other heavily depleted Australian units. In 1921, following the demobilisation of the AIF, the battalion was re-raised as a unit of Australia's part-time military forces, based in Melbourne, Victoria, before being amalgamated with the 22nd Battalion in 1930. It was later re-raised in its own right and, following the outbreak of the Second World War, undertook garrison duties in Australia before being amalgamated with the 46th Battalion to form the 29th/46th Battalion in late 1942, subsequently seeing service against the Japanese in New Guinea and on New Britain.

## History

### First World War

The 29th Battalion was originally formed during the First World War, being raised in Victoria as part of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) on 10 August 1915. Under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Bennett, an officer with over 20 years service in the part-time military forces, the battalion undertook initial training at Seymour and then later Broadmeadows Camp along with the three other battalions of the 8th Brigade, to which it was assigned. In November 1915, the battalion embarked upon the troopship HMAT *Ascanius* in Port Melbourne and departed Australian waters, disembarking at Port Suez, Egypt on 7 December 1915. The battalion arrived in the Middle East too late to take part in the fighting at Gallipoli, and as a result they were initially used to undertake defensive duties to protect the Suez Canal from Ottoman forces. They also undertook a comprehensive training program and by the time their orders arrived to transfer to Europe in June 1916, they had reached their peak. They subsequently embarked the troopship HMT *Tunisian* in Alexandria, bound for France on 14 June. Upon the battalion's arrival in Egypt, the 8th Brigade had been unattached at divisional level, but in early 1916, it was assigned to the 5th Division, after a reorganisation that saw the AIF expanded from two infantry divisions to five.

The battalion arrived at Marseilles on 23 June and afterwards was transported by rail to Hazebrouck. On 8 July the 5th Division was called up to the front from training behind lines in order to replace the battalions of the Australian 4th Division which were being transferred to the Somme. The 29th Battalion undertook a difficult two-day 29-mile (47 km) approach march over cobbled roads with loads of up to 70–75 pounds (32–34 kg) before arriving at the front on the night of 10/11 July. Taking up a position between Boutillerie and Condonerrie in the Bois Grenier, they relieved the 13th Battalion and on 19 July subsequently took part in an attack against the German positions around the "Delangre Farm" which was being held by the 21st Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment. Following the attack, the battalion held the line for another 11 days, beating off a particularly heavy German counterattack on 20 July, before they were eventually relieved. During their introduction to trench warfare, the 29th Battalion lost 52 men killed in action, and another 164 men wounded.

For the next two and half years they fought in a number of major battles in the trenches along the Western Front including Polygon Wood, Amiens and the St Quentin Canal, as well as playing a supporting role in a number of others including Bullecourt and Morlancourt. During the Allied Hundred Days Offensive that was launched on 8 August 1918, the battalion took part in the 8th Brigade's advance up the treacherous Morcourt Valley, subsequently achieving a considerable feat by capturing the town of Vauvillers. The battalion fought its last battle of the war in late September alongside the US 30th Infantry Division, when they breached the German defences along the Hindenburg Line as part of the final Allied offensive of the war. Aimed at the Le Catelet Line near Bellicourt, the battalion began its advance on Nauroy on 29 September, moving on the left flank beside elements of the US 117th Infantry Regiment, with the 32nd Battalion in support. The attack proved highly successful and 59 prisoners were captured along with four field guns and a quantity of German small arms. Against this the battalion lost 17 men killed and 63 wounded.

Following this, they were withdrawn from the front line. By this time casualties amongst the Australian Corps had reached critical level and as a result many battalions—from an authorised strength of over 1,000 men—were only able to field between 300 and 400. As a result, the decision was made to reduce the number of infantry battalions in each brigade from four to three by disbanding one battalion and using its personnel to reinforce the others. The 29th Battalion was one of those chosen to be broken up and as a result on 19 October 1918, the 29th Battalion was disbanded. The majority of the battalion's personnel—29 officers and 517 other ranks—were transferred to the 32nd Battalion as reinforcements.

During its service on the Western Front, the battalion suffered 485 men killed and another 1,399 men wounded. Members of the battalion received the following decorations: three Distinguished Service Orders and one Bar, one Member of the Order of the British Empire, 20 Military Crosses, 17 Distinguished Conduct Medals, 94 Military Medals with three Bars, three Meritorious Service Medals, 17 Mentions in Despatches and five awards from other Allied nations. The 29th Battalion was bestowed 19 battle honours in 1927 for its involvement in the war.

### Inter-war years

The battalion was re-raised in 1921 as part the re-organisation of the Australian military that took place at that time, with the battalion becoming a part-time unit of the Citizen Forces, assigned to the 4th Brigade, 3rd Division. Upon formation, the battalion drew its personnel from four previously existing Citizen Forces units: the 2nd Battalion, 29th Infantry Regiment; the 5th Battalion, 6th Infantry Regiment; 5th Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment and part of the 29th Light Horse, and perpetuated the battle honours and traditions of its associated AIF battalion. Based in Melbourne, the battalion was brought up to its authorised strength of around 1,000 men through the compulsory training scheme. The following year, however, the Army's budget was cut in half and the scope of the scheme reduced following the resolution of the Washington Naval Treaty which arguably improved Australia's strategic outlook. As a result of this, the battalion's authorised strength was reduced to just 409 men of all ranks and training and recruitment were scaled back significantly.

In 1927, territorial titles were introduced into the Australian Army and the battalion adopted the title of the "East Melbourne Regiment". At this time, the battalion was afforded the motto *Nulli Secundus*. In 1929, following the election of the Scullin Labor government, the compulsory training scheme was suspended altogether as it was decided to maintain the part-time military force on a volunteer-only basis. In order to reflect the change, the Citizen Forces was renamed the "Militia" at this time. The end of compulsory training and the fiscal austerity that followed with the economic downturn of the Great Depression meant that the manpower available to many Militia units at this time dropped well below their authorised establishments and as a result the decision was made to amalgamate a number of units. Subsequently, the 29th Battalion was amalgamated with the 22nd in 1930, forming the 29th/22nd Battalion, although they were later split again in August 1939 and the 29th re-raised in its own right.

### Second World War and beyond

Following the outbreak of the Second World War, the Australian government decided to raise an all-volunteer force for service overseas due to the provisions of the *Defence Act (1903)*, which precluded compelling the Militia to serve outside of Australian territory. This force was known as the Second Australian Imperial Force (2nd AIF). Although the 2nd AIF would be raised upon a cadre of trained officers and non-commissioned officers drawn from the Militia, the Militia's main role at this time was to provide training to the men called up as part of the compulsory training scheme that was readopted in early 1940. Throughout 1940–41 the battalion undertook a number of short periods of continuous training, however, following the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and invasion of Malaya in December 1941, it was mobilised for war service.

In March 1942, the 4th Brigade was sent to Queensland to undertake garrison duties and man defences along the coast to defend against a possible Japanese invasion. By mid-1942, however, due to manpower shortages that occurred in the Australian economy as a result of over mobilisation of its military forces, the Australian government decided to disband a number of Militia units in order to release their personnel back into the civilian workforce. As a result of this decision, in August 1942, the 29th Battalion was amalgamated with the 46th Battalion to form the 29th/46th Battalion. This unit went on to serve overseas in New Guinea and on New Britain. After the war, following the demobilisation of the wartime Army, Australia's part-time military was re-formed in 1948, but the 29th Battalion was not re-raised at the time. In 1961, although the battalion was in a state of suspended animation, it was entrusted with the four battle honours awarded to the 2/29th Battalion for its service in Malaya during World War II and the three earned by the 29th/46th Battalion.

## Battle honours

The 29th Battalion received the following battle honours (including those inherited from the 2/29th):

title: Franck Bouyer

abstract: Franck Bouyer is a French former professional road bicycle racer, who competed as a professional between 1995 and 2013. Bouyer competed for the Castorama, Agrigel–La Creuse–Fenioux, Française des Jeux, Bouygues Télécom and Team Europcar squads during his career. Bouyer suffers from narcolepsy, resulting in sudden sleep attacks and cataplexy, and was unable to compete or train without Modafinil. However, the UCI ruled in June 2004 that Bouyer could not be given a therapeutic use exemption to allow him to compete having taken the drug, so Bouyer was unable to race. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld the decision of the UCI citing that it could not be determined that Modafinil did not provide an extra increase in performance and that the dosage was hard to measure. Despite the rulings by both the UCI and CAS, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) gave Bouyer permission to return to racing in August 2005. Yet, following an appeal to CAS by the UCI, Bouyer was once again banned. In January 2007, Bouyer's contract with Bouygues Télécom expired and the team released him. Bouyer filed a civil lawsuit against the UCI and WADA in July 2007, arguing they were preventing him from working. After confirmation from the UCI that a new drug for treating narcolepsy (Xyrem) was not on the banned list, he signed again for the Bbox Bouygues Telecom team for the 2009 season. Bouyer retired at the end of the 2013 season.

## Election result

The results saw Labour stay in control, but their leader, Bryn Sidaway, lost his seat after 16 years on the council. Sidaway lost in Hendon ward by 2 votes to Conservative Paul Maddison after 3 recounts, which was one of 4 gains made by the Conservatives. Labour blamed the defeat of Sidaway on dirty tricks after anonymous posters were displayed associating Sidaway with neo-nazis, but this was denied by the Conservatives. Overall turnout was 20%, but was as low as 12.4% in Central ward.

Following the election Colin Anderson was elected as the new leader of the Labour group and the council.
