Sanders was born in 1890 in Henryville, IN. When he was six years old, his father passed away leaving Sanders to cook and care for his siblings. In seventh grade, he dropped out of school and left home to go work as a farmhand. Already turning into a tough cookie. At 16, he faked his age to enlist in the United States army. After being honorably discharged a year later, he got hired by the railway as a laborer. However, he got fired for fighting with a coworker. While he worked for the railway, he studied law--until he ruined his legal career by getting into another fight. Sanders was forced to move back in with his mom and get a job selling life insurance. And guess what? He got fired for insubordination. But this guy wouldn't give up. In 1920, he founded a ferry boat company. Later, he tried cashing in his ferry boat business to create a lamp manufacturing company only to find out that another company already sold a better version of his lamp. Poor guy couldn't catch a break. It wasn't until age 40 that he began selling chicken dishes in a service station. As he began to advertise his food, an argument with a competitor resulted in a deadly shootout. Four years later, he bought a motel which burned to the ground along with his restaurant. Yet this determined man rebuilt and ran a new motel until World War II forced him to close it down. Following the war, he tried to franchise his restaurant. His recipe was rejected 1,009 times before anyone accepted it. Sander's "secret recipe" was coined "Kentucky Fried Chicken", and quickly became a hit. However, the booming restaurant was crippled when an interstate opened nearby so Sanders sold it and pursued his dream of spreading KFC franchises & hiring KFC workers all across the country. After years of failures and misfortunes, Sanders finally hit it big. KFC expanded internationally and he sold the company for two million dollars ($15.3 million today). Even today, Sanders remains central in KFC's branding and his face still appears in their logo. His goatee, white suit and western string tie continue to symbolize delicious country fried chicken all over the world. At age 90, Sanders passed away from pneumonia. At that time, there were around 6,000 KFC locations in 48 countries. By 2013, there were an estimated 18,000 KFC locations in 118 countries. WOW. If you're overwhelmed by rejection or discouraged by setbacks, remember the story of Colonel Harland Sanders. Fired from multiple jobs, ruined his legal career, was set back by the Great Depression, fires and World War II, yet still created one of the largest fast food chains in the world. Sanders wouldn't let anything or anyone defeat him.

The first four of 50 military vehicles being built at a London, Ont., factory have rolled off the assembly line and will soon be en route to the Ukrainian army. The announcement was made Wednesday during an event at General Dynamics Land Systems's (GDLS) manufacturing plant. It was attended by Canadian government and company officials as well as a handful of employees at the plant. "We know that these vehicles will save lives," said Jason Alejandro Monahan, GDLS Canada's vice-president. "Decisions like this are incredibly important, both for helping Ukraine secure its future, but also for securing and creating jobs here in London and across our 600 suppliers in Canada." The 50, costing a total of $500 million, are in addition to 39 GDLS military vehicles that were delivered to Ukraine in 2022. Defence Minister Bill Blair previously said 10 vehicles would be shipped to Ukraine by summer. At the plant on Wednesday, London North Centre MP Peter Fragiskatos told reporters the four ACSVs on display would be en route to Ukraine in the coming days and six more will be shipped in July. After that, 40 more vehicles, the types of which aren't yet known, will make their way to Ukraine. The timeline for the rest of the shipments is unclear.

A national broadcaster’s dramatic news report about a fire at a historic hotel in Ireland turned somewhat comical Tuesday with a surprise cameo appearance from actor Henry Winkler, of all people. Winkler messaged,thanks to the fire department. “Firemen are some of my favorite human beings,” he told RTÉ. “Firemen and firewomen. They run in when other people are running out.” Winkler is in Ireland to promote his memoir Being Henry: The Fonz… and Beyond, according to the broadcaster. He seemed remarkably stoic about the fact that his first day in the country involved being evacuated from a burning hotel, cheerily describing the incident as “an amazing adventure right here in Dublin.” “I cannot wait to see the rest of Dublin,” Winkler added.

Havana is just 100 miles (160 km) from Key West, Florida, home to a U.S. Naval Air Station. The timing of the visit - as the Biden administration ponders how far to go in helping defend Ukraine against Russia - suggests more than "standard practice," said William Leogrande, a professor at American University. "The visiting Russian warships are Putin's way of reminding Biden that Moscow can challenge Washington in its own sphere of influence," Leogrande said. The stopover coincides with Cuba's worst social and economic crisis in decades, with shortages of everything from food, medicine and fuel and growing discontent on the streets.

Back in March, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks said the Pentagon aims to spend $1 billion this fiscal year on Replicator. A few capabilities have been highlighted as necessary for the first drones in the program, and the Pentagon is working with defense partners to develop and acquire these systems. • The US has plans to employ thousands of drones if China invades Taiwan, the top US admiral in the Pacific said. • The "unmanned hellscape" would buy the US time to come to the aid of Taiwan, he added. • China's drills around the island last month raised questions about what a blockade or invasion would look like. If China invades Taiwan, it may face a large, lethal drone force meant to make its military "miserable." At least that's the plan, according to the top US admiral in the Pacific, who said the "Hellscape" strategy is designed to distract China and buy the US time to respond. "I want to turn the Taiwan Strait into an unmanned hellscape using a number of classified capabilities," Adm. Samuel Paparo, the commander of US Indo-Pacific Command, told The Washington Post at the International Institute for Strategic Studies' Shangri-La Dialogue Summit. In doing so, he said, "I can make their lives utterly miserable for a month, which buys me the time for the rest of everything." The plan involves launching thousands of unmanned systems, from surface vessels and submarines to aerial drones, to fight Chinese invading forces as soon as they begin to cross the Taiwan Strait, effectively acting as a kind of first line of defense.

This type of strategy would require heavy investments in cheap, reliable drones, which the US has been doing with its Replicator initiative. Last year, the Department of Defense officially announced the program, which is a long-term plan to field thousands of autonomous systems. The first iteration of the Replicator initiative aims to accelerate all-domain, attritable autonomous systems to warfighters at speed and scale. Switchblade 600 kamikaze drones in the running for Replicator mass production. AeroVironment’s (AV) Switchblade 600 loitering munition system has been selected for Tranche 1 of the first iteration of the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Replicator initiative. AV’s Switchblade 600 is a man-portable, extended-range loitering munition system equipped with an anti-armor warhead for engaging larger, hardened targets at greater distances. With a 24-mile range, 40 minutes of loitering endurance and the ability to fly at speeds of up to 115 miles per hour, Switchblade 600s are built to destroy armored vehicles and other targets in multi-domain military operations. Switchblade 600s are built to destroy armored vehicles and other targets in multi-domain military operations. The U.S. has provided several types of drones to Ukraine in military aid packages, including the Switchblade and Phoenix Ghost loitering munitions. The Switchblades also used by U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have appeared in combat footage coming out of Ukraine, but the Pentagon has not disclosed just how many were sent.

The fearless 'Three Jacksons,' acrobats Jarley Smith, Jewell Waddek, and Jimmy Kerrigan, performed this breathtaking routine on the world-famous skyscraper that became one of the era's most legendary stunts. The balancing act on a ledge of the newly built Empire State Building in Manhattan, New York City, 1934. The act took place 1,050 feet (320m) above the pavement with no safety net.

A Ukrainian drone badly damaged, and possibly destroyed, a Russian air force Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter on Russia's Akhtubinsk State Flight Test Center in southern Russia 365 miles from the Russia-Ukraine border. The first aircraft in Russian military service to emphasize stealth, the Su-57 employs a variety of methods to reduce its radar signature. And it’s possible a second Su-57—out of around two dozen Su-57s the Russian air force has acquired since the type’s first flight in 2010—was also damaged in the raid. “There is preliminary information that there could be two Su-57 aircraft affected. Su-57s are equipped with Kh-69 cruise missiles, and stealth capabilities. Essentially, a single Su-57 can inflict as much damage to critical infrastructure as a Tu-95MS strategic bomber could. The recent drone attacks by Ukraine on Russian air force bases mark a significant evolution in the conflict's dynamics. These strikes, mainly targeting high-value assets like the Su-57 stealth fighter jet, demonstrate Ukraine's enhanced capability and strategic intent to disrupt and weaken Russian military infrastructure. By successfully reaching deep into Russian-held territory, Ukraine showcases its growing proficiency in drone warfare and its commitment to leveraging innovative methods to counter Russian advances. These operations signal a shift in Ukraine's military strategy, potentially reshaping the balance of power and adding new complexities to the ongoing conflict. The strike came shortly after its Western allies allowed Kyiv to use their weapons for limited strikes inside Russia. But it wasn’t immediately clear what hit the airfield allegedly housing the twin-engine Su-57 stealth jet, lauded as Moscow’s most advanced fighter plane. Its distance from Ukraine suggests it was most likely hit by drones. The easing of restrictions on the use of Western weapons will help Ukraine protect Kharkiv by targeting Russian capabilities across the border, according to Ukrainian and Western officials. It is unclear what other impact it may have on the direction of the war, in what is proving to be a critical period. The move drew a furious response from Moscow, and warnings it could embroil NATO in a war with Russia. But Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, described it as “common sense.”
