Kendall Jenner knows how to heat up her Instagram feed The supermodel shared bikini photos from her desert getaway on June 11 "strawberry moon," she captioned the upload, which also included her breathtaking viewsThe heat from Kendall Jenner's desert getaway is no match for the supermodel's steamy bikini snaps! The Kardashians star, 29, shared photos from her vacation in an Instagram carousel posted Wednesday, June 11. Kicking off the collection of pics, she shared a photo of herself in a black bikini and straw hat, while lounging on what appears to be a white bed. In addition to the views of the land, Jenner also shared a snap of her backside. She sat facing a body of water while the intricate design of her bikini was on display. Jenner captured a selfie of herself smiling from ear to ear while she looked directly into the camera, and rounded out the post with a clip of her riding in the backseat of a vehicle, hair blowing in the wind, while she admired the views of the desert. 'strawberry moon,' she captioned the upload, presumably referencing the clip of Earth's natural satellite that she shared. The 818 Tequila founder has been enjoying getaways of all sorts lately. Last month, her sister Kylie Jenner shared a glimpse into her vacation with her eldest child, Stormi, and the supermodel. At the time, the Kylie Cosmetics CEO, 27, shared an Instagram carousel, featuring a photo of Kendall with her arms in the air while smiling. She wore a red bikini top and white towel that was wrapped around her waist.

(This story has been updated to include new information) Eastbound I-84 closed June 11 between mileposts 64 and 82 due to the Rowena Fire, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation and the Wasco County Sheriff's Office. The closure is between Mosier and The Dalles. I-84 and Highway 30 were also closed from Rowena to milepost 82. ODOT advised drivers to find an alternative route. ODOT spokesperson Kacey Davey said there are fires burning on both the Oregon and Washington state sides of the Columbia River Gorge. Davey urged travelers to not drive to the highway closure spots and to check for updates and closure information. "Wildfires are unpredictable and we have no timeline for when I-84 or U.S. 30 may open," Davey said. The sheriff's office said in a Facebook post 733 homes were under level 3 "Go Now" evacuation orders, 1,195 homes were under level 2 "Be Set" and 157 homes were under level 1 "Be Ready." A map for areas under evacuation can be found at: The fire was at least 500 acres as of 5:45 p.m. June 11, according to WatchDuty. It was not immediately clear what caused the fire. Gov. Tina Kotek invoked the Emergency Conflagration Act in response to the fire, allowing the Oregon state fire marshal to mobilize resources. The state fire marshal is mobilizing structural firefighters and an incident management team for the fire, according to a news release. Three task forces were set to respond June 11 and three more are set to arrive the morning of June 12. According to the release, the Oregon State Fire Marshal Green Team will work with the Central Oregon Fire Management Service Type 3 team.

The Wasco County Fairgrounds is open for livestock and horses and is located at 81849 Fairgrounds Road, Tygh Valley, OR., 97063. 'This early season conflagration should come as a reminder to Oregonians to be ready for wildfire,' State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple said in a news release. 'The predictions for this summer are extremely concerning. I am asking everyone to take that extra minute to mindful of the conditions and remember it takes a single spark to ignite a disaster.'

Travel influencer slammed over ‘not nice' hack for getting comfy when flying: ‘Very inconsiderate'
That's how to make your foot fall asleep. Airplane passengers are constantly devising ways to make cramped coach seats more comfortable, from the controversial 'seatbelt sleep method' to using a seat cloth to make a hands-free phone holder. However, one enterprising flyer has faced backlash after demonstrating how to make a makeshift hammock for her feet — with critics dubbing this hack inconsiderate to other passengers. 'I've never tried keeping my feet up like this before while traveling, but it really helped!' gushed globetrotter Nicole Lazo in the viral clip's caption. 'I was super comfortable and slept great!' Lazo frequently shares travel tips on her Instagram, posting about everything from the best neck pillows for long flights to converting currencies via the calculator app. For her latest tutorial, the content creator explained how weary travelers could use the complimentary blanket to MacGyver a cot for their trotters. Lazo showed how passengers can simply roll up the blanket — although this can be done with a scarf or other thin fabric in a pinch, per the influencer — and knot it in the middle. They then pull the tray table out partway and loop the blankie around it, making sure to stretch out the bottom so it forms a stirrup shape. Lazo demonstrated how easy it is to rest one's feet in the makeshift footrest per the clip. However, she ran afoul of the ever-merciless Instagram critics, who claimed she was sacrificing other passengers' comfort for her own. 'That's a disturbance to the person sitting on that seat. Not nice,' accused one, while another wrote, 'The flight attendant should stop this kind of inconsiderate act. Unless they are paying for the front seat too . Very inconsiderate.' Even industry insiders criticized Lazo. 'The person sitting in front definitely feels that,' said one former crew member. 'As a previous flight attendant, I'd not allow — I'd say that's not cool.' Others expressed concerns that the sling could put an unnecessary strain on the tray table. 'You can break the table with your weight/pull,' declared one. However, others felt that commenters were overreacting to a savvy hack. 'This is genius!! I'm short and this would be so comfy instead of barely touching the floor,' gushed one fan. This isn't the first time passengers have come under fire for attempting to make their coach seat more like first class. Flight attendants have been sounding alarm bells over the seatbelt sleep hack, in which flyers curl their legs up onto the seat and then fasten the seatbelt around their legs to prevent them from slipping off the seat once they nod off. 'If it's attached to your ankles, this could put you in a life-threatening situation as you take extra time to first unbuckle and rebuckle your seatbelt,' warned Michael Wallace, travel expert and CEO of Greenback Expat Tax Services. 'If the plane hits turbulence that causes you to lean forward at an increased rate, colliding with the seat in front of you and your knees can lead to two very different outcomes.' He added that a sudden jolt could even cause the passenger to knee themself in the face, potentially causing a concussion.
