The name starts with Frankfurt, Germany, where pork sausages similar to hot dogs were served as early as the 13th century, including at imperial coronations. Vienna gave the sausage its other name, Wiener, after a butcher from Coburg reportedly brought the recipe there and added beef. Nobody knows for certain who first put a sausage in a bun. The claims include food seller Harry Stevens at the New York Polo Grounds in 1901, when waxed paper ran out and he used small rolls, and Antoine Feuchtwanger, who sold sausages in St. Louis and at world's fairs, where customers kept his white gloves as souvenirs and he switched to rolls.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
