REUTERS/Murad SezerKYIV, Nov 10 (Reuters) - On a crisp and sunny November morning, Ukrainian farmers lined up to collect U.N.-supplied grain sleeves to store crops over winter as the country faces a significant shortage of storing capacity caused by Russian shelling. Local grain prices have fallen after Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, and Ukrainian farmers say they face difficulties exporting and high costs because of power outages after Russian missile and drone attacks on energy facilities. "We are trying to encourage (farmers) to keep the grain and wait for a better price... "Prices for diesel, petrol and spare parts have grown, while prices for our produce, for wheat, corn, they have decreased significantly," she said.

☆ World’s best spicy foods: 20 dishes to try

When it comes to the world’s best spicy dishes, we have some of the world’s hottest peppers to thank, along with incredible layers of flavor and a long, spice-loving human history. Peppers – a headliner for heat – are rated on the Scoville Heat Units scale, which measures capsaicin and other active components of chile peppers. And it’s the perky red pepper of the same name that brings the spiciness to this complex, layered and delicious dish. “The peperoncino (red chile pepper) is what makes this sauce ‘angry’ (arrabbiata) or spicy,” Chris MacLean of Italy-based Open Tuesday Wines said via email. FomaA/Adobe StockThe fiery Ethiopian spice blend called berbere – aromatic with chile peppers, basil, cardamom, garlic and ginger – is instrumental to the flavor chorus that’s doro wat, Ethiopia’s much-loved spicy chicken stew.

THE BRIGHT-GREEN SAUCE might be what you notice first about this pizza, but wild mushrooms are “what this is all about,” said chef Javier Ramirez. His third Slow Food Fast recipe is a streamlined take on a pizza that’s been on the menu at his Miami restaurant, La Natural, since it opened. Here, the finished pizza gets a good drizzle of garlicky oil and a scattering of fresh parsley. “We’re herb and vegetable forward at La Natural,” the chef said.

A sentimental card or letter can smooth over the transactional rough edges of a cash gift. If you’re sending money electronically, it’s great to note in the card the method by which you’ve sent money: “Check your Venmo for the gift that accompanies this card UNLESS YOU HATE MONEY,” or similar phrasing of your choice. Don’t even give them a gift card, which limits where they can redeem it and adds the pressure of an expiration date. And even if you feel annoyed by an overt request for a monetary gift, don’t decide to opt out with the gift of nothing. If you’d like to receive cashEmbrace transparencyMaybe people used to pretend they didn’t need money or that gifts didn’t…cost money, but those days are happily behind us.

Swedes may be missing the long days of summer, but autumn is when Stockholm peaks. Crisp breezes and blazing foliage await visitors, as does the engineering marvel known as Guldbron, or the Gold Bridge, a massive slab of steel that was installed in 2020. Connecting the central islands of Gamla Stan and Södermalm, the bridge is part of an overhaul of the busy Slussen area that won’t be completed until 2026. But the rest of the city is humming with openings, from drinking and dining hotspots to cultural must-sees. And the recent rollout of an e-bike sharing program promises to make this accessible city even more so.

When Casey Schow started his new job at Neighbor, a self-storage company based in Lehi, Utah, he figured he had to dress to impress. Schow chose a crisp button down and a pair of slacks for his first day in the office as Neighbor's PR and communications lead in June 2021. Imagine his surprise, then, when Schow walked into the office and half of his co-workers were wearing T-shirts and flip-flops. "I definitely felt overdressed, even though that outfit is something I would have worn to work every day before the pandemic." Revamping your professional wardrobe can add up — but you can prepare for returning to the office without overspending by investing in a couple of key pieces that will help you nail the "business comfort" look.

Many bathers had already taken to using wetsuits, but from Oct. 1 the pool has made them compulsory, to prevent medical emergencies among people not used to swimming in cold water. On the contrary, it's nice and fresh, we feel much better after training in a wetsuit in cold water than when it's heated," she said. Nogent Nautique pool manager Adrien Nougot said the centre had decided to stop heating the 50-metre outdoor pool on May 15 for financial reasons. A poolside sign showed the outdoor pool temperature was 19 C, compared to 28 C in the indoor 25-metre pool. Better a cold pool than a closed pool, said Nicolas Lioret, 48.
