Kentucky Fried Chicken started with Harland Sanders, a man who ran a roadside filling station and restaurant in Kentucky. He fried chicken in a pan, which took 35 minutes, and refused to deep-fry it. In 1939 he modified a commercial pressure cooker into a pressure fryer that cut cooking time to near deep-frying speed. He then franchised his recipe to other restaurants, which paid a fee of four or later five cents per chicken. The bucket meal arrived in 1957, and by 1963 there were 600 KFC restaurants. The company expanded overseas and opened its first British store in Preston in 1965. Sanders sold the company in 1964 for $2 million, though his contract gave him a lifetime salary and a role as quality controller.

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.
