Vegemite was invented in 1919 by Cyril Callister, a chemist working for the Australian firm Fred Walker & Co., after British Marmite imports were disrupted by World War I. He used autolysis, a process in which yeast cells break down their own contents, on waste yeast from a brewery, then concentrated the liquid and blended it with salt, celery and onion extracts into a sticky black paste. The spread struggled against Marmite, and from 1928 to 1935 it was briefly renamed Parwill, sold with the slogan 'Marmite but Parwill'. Sales took off after the British Medical Association endorsed it in 1939 as a rich source of B vitamins, and by the late 1940s it was in nine out of ten Australian homes. Its recipe has barely changed since.

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.
