When Cailey Heaps wants to get away from it all, one place comes to mind: the island of Newfoundland in Canada. “It’s this very romantic, peaceful part of the world where it feels like time moves at a different pace,” said Ms. Heaps, 47. “I can go there for three days and feel like I’ve taken a two-week holiday.”Image Cailey Heaps bought a pair of saltbox houses from the 1910s on the rugged coast of Newfoundland, Canada, and renovated them with help from Reflect Architecture.

☆ 6 ways to upgrade a box of brownie mix, from a former pastry cook
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-21 | by ( Pippa Allen | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

To upgrade boxed brownies, I'd switch my baking vessel or add some extracts to the batter. You can also throw in salty snacks, extra chocolate, peanut butter, or coffee. Even if your mix already has chocolate chips, add in the chopped chocolate anyways. Chocolate chips contain stabilizers that help them maintain their shape, but chopped chocolate will create beautiful melted pockets in the brownies. If you want a subtle boost to the chocolate flavor of your brownies, add a teaspoon or two of espresso powder to the batter.

Eventually, her blog morphed into Project RED-S – a site filled with resources for athletes, coaches and supporters. Access to “dietician input … and appropriate psychological support if it’s needed,” can also help prevent and treat REDs, Dr. Jawad says.

The dead woman, Amanda, narrates some of the chapters from beyond the grave. She wants to make something clear. The book begins with Margo, an outwardly cheerful librarian with a big secret: In her previous job, she was a nurse with a knack for murdering her patients. With her fake name and new identity, she seems to have gotten away with it.

☆ U.S. crude oil fell into a bear market this week and could head lower as China 'haunts the market'
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-17 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

U.S. crude oil prices entered a bear market this week, down 22% from September highs as traders wrangle over whether the spiral is driven by market fundamentals or just speculation. Phil Flynn, an oil market analyst with the Price Futures Group, said hedge funds have piled into short positions. There is still some "grind lower" in prices in store unless more positive data comes out of China, he said. If prices keep falling, the U.S. will slip from record production because shale producers will have trouble making money and stop investing, he said. The group has blamed speculators for the recent selloff and insisted market fundamentals are strong with China demand healthy.
