# First Bayeux speech

The First Bayeux Speech was a speech delivered by General Charles de Gaulle of France in the context of liberation after the Normandy landings in June 1944.

## Background

A few days after the Normandy landings, General Charles de Gaulle sought to symbolically meet the French people in one of the first towns liberated. He also aimed to counter the American intentions to establish their own administration in France in the form of the Allied Military Government for Occupied Territories (AMGOT), a branch of which had been specifically prepared to govern France and had started circulating a currency based on the dollar in liberated France.
After D-Day, De Gaulle was anxious to get to French soil. Churchill agreed, allowing De Gaulle to visit Bayeux, with a population of 15,000 the biggest French town liberated so far. This was seen as the first big test of De Gaulle's popularity in France, with the anti-Gaullist President Roosevelt speculating that De Gaulle would "crumble" and the British would be forced to withdraw support.
De Gaulle came to Normandy on the Free French destroyer La Combattante in a delegation that included François Coulet, who had been appointed Commissioner of the Republic for Normandy. The delegation also carried a 250-million franc treasure to counter introduction of the US occupation franc. One of the most famous photographs of De Gaulle was taken aboard during the journey, before he landed between Courseulles and Graye-sur-Mer.
After landing on the coast part of the party went ahead to Bayeux while De Gaulle went to the headquarters of General Montgomery before going to Bayeux and meeting local dignitaries, many of whom had been Petainists.

## Speech

De Gaulle was not supposed to have any meetings in Bayeux but he would be allowed to be seen, but De Gaulle decided to make a speech in the town in which he proclaimed Bayeux the capital of Free France. He also appointed his Chef de Cabinet, François Coulet as a Commissioner of the Republic, who through being an efficient administrator who was useful to the allies. This set a precedent for the Provisional Government run by De Gaulle to appoint French administrators loyal to De Gaulle in French territory liberated by the allies.
After the speech, he traveled to the United States for the first time. His visit included meetings with French scientists working on the Manhattan Project as well as Franklin D. Roosevelt.

## Aftermath

The enthusiastic reception from the population confirmed his popularity in France, which discouraged the United States from placing France under their administration. The Provisional Government of the French Republic, officially formed on June 3, 1944 in Algiers, the capital of French Algeria, under De Gaulle’s leadership as the successor to the French Committee of National Liberation, was thus able to establish itself in Paris after the liberation of the capital and assume effective leadership of the country.

# HMS Lawford (K514)

HMS Lawford (K514) was a Royal Navy converted Captain class frigate (pennant DE-516), built in the US in 1944. She was converted into an HQ ship for the Normandy landings. On 8 June 1944, whilst operating off Juno Beach, she was hit by enemy fire during an air attack and sunk. Thirty-seven of her crew died. The Royal Navy's damage summary report states that the ship was hit by an "aerial torpedo", which has been taken to mean a torpedo dropped from an aircraft. However, a survey of the ship undertaken as part of the Channel 4 TV series "Wreck Detectives" found evidence that the vessel was broken up and sunk by an internal explosion, indicating a hit from one or more bombs or from an early guided missile such as an Hs-293 or (less likely) a Fritz X.
Further consideration suggests that the term "aerial torpedo" used in the RN damage summaries was actually intended to refer to guided missiles.
The wreck lies in 21 metres of water at 49°25′43″N 00°23′47″W﻿ / ﻿49.42861°N 0.39639°W﻿ / 49.42861; -0.39639.

# Takase River (Aomori)

The Takase River (高瀬川, Takasegawa) is a Class A river system that flows through Aomori Prefecture, Japan. It flows from Mt. Yahata, through Lake Ogawara into the Pacific Ocean.
The river is very important to the economy of the region. Approximately 80,000 people live in the river's catchment area.
Every July, the annual Lake Festival (湖水まつり, Kosui-matsuri) is held along the banks of the Takase River. The Takase River Office uses the opportunity to exhibit the "creatures that live in Lake Ogawara", which is popular with families. They also raise awareness about flood control, and water quality improvement of the lake.
In Japanese, takase means "shallow river".

## Geography

The river has a length of 64 kilometres (40 mi) and a catchment area of 867 square kilometres (335 sq mi). The basin area contains 2 cities, 4 towns, and 1 village.
Upstream from Lake Ogawara, the slope of the river ranges between 1:50 and 1:2000. Between the river and the Pacific Ocean, the slope is 1:30000 (almost horizontal). The water flows backwards from the sea into Lake Ogawara, causing it to be slightly brackish.

## Environment

Many species live in the Takase River system, such as river lamprey, killifish, and Japanese smelt. Lake Ogawara, located downstream, contains many brackish and freshwater aquatic plants like Braun's stonewort, and Ruppia maritima. Freshwater clams can also be found in the area.
Lake Ogawara is designated as one of Japan's 500 Important Wetlands by the Ministry of the Environment.

# Capture of Julfar

In 1633, the Omanis, led by Nasir bin Murshid attacked the two fortresses at Julfar (modern-day Ras Al Khaimah) one held by Persians and the other by Portuguese. The Omanis successfully captured the two forts.

## Background

In 1624, a new imam was elected in Oman called Nasir bin Murshid which led to the foundation of the Ya'rubids. The imam had two objectives: one was to unite Oman into a single country and end the civil wars, the second was to get rid of the Portuguese hegemony that held the coastal cities. However, after the enthronement, many Omani tribes began revolting against him, and he focused his efforts on subduing the rebels, beginning from 1624 to 1630. In late 1632, which was the first contact between the Yarubids and the Portuguese, the ruler of Samail, Mani' bin Sinan, revolted against Nasir alongside the ruler of Bahla, Saif bin Muhammad. Nasir defeated both of them and they fled to Portuguese territory. Mani' went to Muscat, so Nasir prepared an army against him led by Mas'ud bin Ramadan and went to a place called Tuwa al-Rowla close to Muttrah, where he met a Portuguese force and successfully routed them. Mas'ud then marched to Muscat and began bombarding it until the Portuguese asked for a truce, which he accepted, thus saving Muscat from the Omani invasion. Around 1631, the Portuguese built a fort in Ras Al Khaimah.

## Capture

The forts of Julfar were the first target for the Omanis. It had two. They were next to each other. One was held by the Persians and the other by the Portuguese. Nasir dispatched two armies to capture them. One was led by Ali bin Ahmad al-Nizawi against the Persian fort, and the other by Sultan bin Saif against the Portuguese. The first attack was launched against the Persians, whose garrison was led by Nasir al-Din Al-Ajamai, a Persian. The Omanis and the Persians fought with each other for two days, and Nasir al-Din almost capitulated. However, the Omanis were met by heavy fire from the Portuguese fort, which caused severe casualties. However, this did not break the Omanis, and another assault was launched, in which they successfully captured the Persian fort. Nasir bin Murshid then ordered Ahmad to stay in Julfar, and an army of the Dehamsha tribe was prepared to assault the Portuguese fort, led by Khamis bin Makhzum. The Omanis captured the fort and killed between 30 and 40 Portuguese, and the rest escaped to Muscat.

## Aftermath

Soon after this victory, Nasir dispatched Khamis to the Portuguese fort of Dibba, successfully capturing the fort and the citadel, which surrendered. The Persian loss of Julfar encouraged them to make a compromise with the English over capturing Muscat, but plans fell through in March 1633 when the governor of Shiraz was executed by Shah Safi.

# Gulf of Alaska (song)

"Gulf of Alaska" (Chinese: 阿拉斯加海湾) is a song by Malaysian singer Firdhaus Farmizi.

## Background

This song was inspired by an online photo of the Gulf of Alaska, which showed two distinct shades of blue water that could not merge. He saved the title "Gulf of Alaska" on his phone, determined to write a song for a girl he wanted to win back after a heartbreak. One night, while playing his guitar in his room, the lyric "Oh heaven, can't you see I love her?" (上天啊，难道你看不出我很爱她) came to him, and that was when the song started to take form.

# Sticky toffee pudding

Sticky toffee pudding, known as sticky date pudding in Australia and New Zealand, is a British dessert consisting of a moist sponge cake covered in a toffee sauce, often served with a vanilla custard or vanilla ice cream. It is widely served in the Lake District in northwest England, where it is a culinary symbol.

## Composition

Sticky toffee pudding has two essential components, sponge cake and toffee sauce. The first is a moist sponge cake which contains finely chopped dates. The sponge is usually light and fluffy, closer to a muffin consistency rather than a heavier traditional British sponge, and is often lightly flavoured with nuts or spices such as cloves. The toffee sauce is usually made from double cream and different dark sugars (brown sugar, jaggery, molasses sugar, muscovado, panela, peen tong).
Sticky toffee pudding is most commonly served with custard or vanilla ice cream, the vanilla flavour of these complementing the richer flavours of the pudding. It may also be served with single cream.

## Origins

The origins of sticky toffee pudding are disputed. Owners of pubs including the Gait Inn in Millington, East Riding of Yorkshire (claimed to 1907) and the Udny Arms Hotel in Newburgh, Aberdeenshire (1960s) claim to have invented it.
The pudding was popularised in the 1970s by Francis Coulson and Robert Lee, who developed and served it at the Sharrow Bay Country House Hotel in Cumbria. The food critic Simon Hopkinson said Coulson told him he received the recipe from a Patricia Martin of Claughton in Lancashire, and that Martin had received it from Canadian air force officers who lodged at her hotel during the Second World War. It is widely served in the Lake District in northwest England, where it is a culinary symbol.
A take-home version to heat, either in oven or microwave, was developed in 1989 by the owners of the Village Shop in Cartmel, Cumbria. Their dish became popular, and by the late 1990s was being sold in supermarkets across the UK. The dish is now widely available from multiple manufacturers to bake at home.
