![]() On top of the expected yield losses, grain buyers worry about quality. A year ago, just 2% of the state's winter wheat and 6% of its spring wheat were rated poor to very poor. Agriculture Department this week rated 68% of the state's spring wheat and 36% of its winter wheat in poor or very poor condition. "The Washington wheat crop is in pretty rough shape right now," said Clark Neely, a Washington State University agronomist. exports of white wheat in the marketing year that ended May 31 reached a 40-year high of 265 million bushels, driven by unprecedented demand from China.īut farmers may not have as much to sell this year. ![]() You see your blood, sweat and tears just slowly wither away and die." "Something about a drought like this just wears on you. "The general mood among farmers in my area is as dire as I've ever seen it," Kress said. variety is especially prized by Asian buyers. Other countries including Australia and Canada grow white wheat, but the U.S. The Pacific Northwest is the only part of the United States that grows soft white wheat used to make sponge cakes and noodles, and farmers were hoping to capitalize on high grain prices. is also seeing the heat ratchet up, with "feels-like" temperatures pushing 100 degrees by Monday and Tuesday in the major cities of the I-95 corridor.Cordell Kress, who farms in southeastern Idaho, expects his winter white wheat to produce about half as many bushels per acre as it does in a normal year when he begins to harvest next week, and he has already destroyed some of his withered canola and safflower oilseed crops. Intermountain West, Desert Southwest and California with hundreds of record highs. CBS News This heat wave comes on the heels of another historic heat wave less than two weeks ago that baked the U.S. The core of the heat dome, as measured by the thickness of the air column over British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest, is - statistically speaking - equivalent to a 1-in-1,000-year event or even a 1-in-10,000-year event. CBS News The heat is being caused by a combination of a significant atmospheric blocking pattern on top of a human-caused climate changed world where baseline temperatures are already a couple to a few degrees higher than nature intended. ![]() Portland has already broken its former all-time record of 107. These are all-time heat records for select cities prior to the current heat wave. By Monday, some - if not all - of the all-time record highs seen below are forecast to break, with many more cities not listed here expected to achieve the same feat. These are extremely dangerous numbers, especially in a region not used to heat like this, where many people do not have air conditioning. Canada is expected to register the nation's all-time highest temperature before the event is done. ![]() Portland, Oregon, has already broken its all-time record hottest temperature at 108 degrees on Saturday and the peak of the heat wave has not even been reached yet. By one measure it is more rare than a once in a 1,000 year event - which means that if you could live in this particular spot for 1,000 years, you'd likely only experience a heat dome like this once, if ever. Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, Canada, is of an intensity never recorded by modern humans.

This account now has read access of the HFS+ volume - but when I deleted it and did the exact same thing for my primary account, I got the same error.

From the moment I began the project, people suggested I try Fenty Beauty's game-changing foundation, but the full matte coverage was too much for my day to day. At times, finish proved a more significant hurdle than shade options. While the process was highly entertaining-the machine calls to mind a souped-up paint mixer-I found myself preferring the feel of the brand's ready-made Teint Idole, which offered fuller coverage and a robust 88 shades. ![]() Why should I have to set up the beauty equivalent of a chemistry lab to have something that matched?īack home, I went high-tech with Lancôme's Le Teint Particulier, a computerised match system that employed sensors to read the tone and texture of my skin in multiple places, then brewed up a custom blend with the texture of a tinted moisturiser. The idea of relying on a single colour, or at least a single formula, became something of an obsession. While I didn't mind the amount of effort it took to merely look normal, I didn't always have the extra 10 minutes needed to make sure my face was in order. This, plus a colour corrector-around my mouth area where there is a patch of unruly skin-and a concealer to tackle any spots. In the past, I've used one bottle for my slightly darker forehead, another for the lighter area around my cheeks. As someone who has hyperpigmentation and several different shades present on my face, I expected that I'd have to do some blending. Dior's Face and Body fared better the sheer, buildable coverage came closer to my liking, but I still needed to mix shades to get a perfect match. ![]() Once the purveyor of my first holy grail foundation, Teint Innocence, a barely there luminous blend that was discontinued back in 2011, I had high hopes for Chanel but found the undertones in their lineup too tangerine for my liking-the ironically named Les Beiges left me looking like an Oompa Loompa even after a lengthy consultation with a makeup artist. Bougie as I am, I wanted to see what Chanel, Dior, and their ilk had to offer. After years of tweaking the darkest shades at Sephora or mixing three different colours to match, I was used to putting in a little extra work. I grabbed what I could, hoping that I'd be able to make the best of things. I'd grown accustomed to YouTube videos in which content creators swatch every shade within a line, so I felt a degree of surprise upon realising the approach to publication samples was entirely different. Entering the Vogue beauty closet, I was overwhelmed by the number of foundations on the market, and the limited range of what actually was sent through by PR companies. Of course, I didn't expect it to take an entire year of my life. The hue may be right, but the undertone is wrong, the texture or finish might also need work, and since many brands still refuse to stock their full array of shades, even getting ahold of the right options would take time. As a woman of colour, I knew this wouldn't be an easy task. Post Fenty Beauty, many brands have expanded their ranges, but capturing the nuances of deeper skin remains an uphill battle. So began my search for a foundation that would match my skin tone and leave me with the healthy looking complexion of my dreams. ![]() The best I can ever manage is getting two or three straights out before becoming completely stuck. I keep getting into situations where I'm only one card shy of what I'd need to sweep a straight ace to king off the board, but nothing I do to find that card works out. Every time I try at it, I keep getting into situations where I run out of single-suit stacks to build, trying to uncover more cards by stacking contrary suits doesn't work out, and then when I pull more cards out of the deck they quickly become overwhelming with cards that I can't shift or use at all. Spider with anything more than one suit continues to elude me, though. A Random Deal shuffles the cards randomly and consequently only some games can. 2 Suits: The level of difficulty increases with red and black cards splitting the deck. ![]() Had a bit of a starting block with FreeCell, but after getting the hang for it I find that to be a particularly enjoyable form of problem solving.
