bringing four cups of liquid and a pinch of salt, to a low boil. Stirring in a cup of steel cut oats, lowering the heat so the pot is barely simmering, and letting it go for roughly half an hour until the cereal has thickened.
It feels rich and satisfying. One might even call it luxurious, a word that I'm not sure was ever intended for oatmeal. After a few months of daily experimenting, might I offer some recommendations of things top it with?
I've discovered one winning (and repeatable) combination is seeds + nuts + spice+ fruit + other.
Raisins + cinnamon + maple syrup (or brown sugar). A combo that reminds me of rice pudding. Yum!

One third of Canadian business professionals report catching up on television or sports during the workday.
With so much television to choose from, many can find it hard to keep up with the latest episode of their favourite TV show. But many Canadian business professionals are turning to the workday to stay up-to-date on the latest binge-worthy show. Nearly one third (31%) of office workers report catching up on TV or sporting events during the workday, and that number grows to 44% when looking at just men.
Aside from sneaking in a quick episode, TV talk is all the chatter around the water cooler, as many professionals talk plot twists with their colleagues. "Game of Thrones" was the most talked-about show in Canadian offices, with just over a third (35%) of white-collar workers discussing it regularly. "The Crown," "Westworld," "Big Brother" and Toronto-filmed "Suits" were also popular among write-in responses. Even long-running "The Big Bang Theory" edged its way into the conversation, with 16% discussing it at work.
Which television shows are regularly discussed at your office?
One drawback of TV talk in the office is the propagation of spoilers. No one wants to have their favourite show ruined or to hear the outcome of the big game. Respondents were pretty evenly split when asked whether they've ever had a show or sporting event spoiled by someone at work. A total of 45% have heard spoiler talk in the office, and that number increases for women (51%).
A majority of Millennials reported having shows spoiled by coworkers, which is nearly two times the amount of Baby Boomers. Maybe this can be attributed to Millennials devouring more prime TV. Or perhaps this could be because Boomers are savvier when it comes to dodging spoiler talk? The most common methods of avoiding a colleague's conversation at the office include shushing (36%), leaving the room (28%) and covering your ears (17%).
When speaking with a colleague or client, have you ever feigned interest in a TV show or sporting event to impress the other person?
Though the topic might seem frivolous to some, nearly a third of Millennials report using TV knowledge to connect with co-workers. Maybe keeping up with hit television is more productive than one might expect?

New Nissan Qashqai launched in Europe (Video)
1:08 pm February 18, 2021 By Roland Hutchinson
Nissan has announced the launch of its new Nissan Qashqai SUV in Europe and the car comes with a ewn design and a range of new features.
The new Nissan Qashqai comes with a choice of two hybrid models, one comes with a 1.3 litre turbo petrol engine and a 12v mild hybrid. The second option is a new e-POWER drive system which will be available later in the year.
The all-new Qashqai features a more toned, sharp and modern style, while still maintaining its unmistakable character. In its details, the styling reflects Nissan's global design language, notably the V-Motion grille, "floating roof" and use of precise, taut lines that generate simple, bold surfaces and muscular volumes.
The Qashqai's enhanced body stance is more purposeful, with prominent shoulder lines, an extended wheelbase and imposing available 20-inch alloy wheels. The LED headlamps are slimmer and sharper, and features technology that adapts the shape of the beam according to the road conditions and other road-users.
You can find out more details about the new Nissan Qashqai over at Nissan at the link below, the cars will be coming to Europe this year.

Home Business Ghana opens new Consulate General in China's commercial city, Guangzhou
Ghana opens new Consulate General in China's commercial city, Guangzhou
The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Hon. Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, on Wednesday cut the tape to formally open a new Consulate General at Guangzhou, China.
The new office, which is located within a prime and serene environment, will offer support to Ghanaian and Chinese business activities, as well as provide them with expedite consular services to facilitate trade and investment promotion between Ghana and China, the Minister noted.
She said, "With the new Consulate therefore, the long journey these businessmen and women had to endure to go to Beijing for visas and other trade facilitation processes would be over since the Consulate-General is here to manage all these concerns."
The Minister said the office will also help in the promotion of a crucial agenda for foreign investment and international trade which face a fair amount of challenges.
Ghana's Minister for Foreign Affairs, was joined by Vice Governor of the Guangdong Province of China, Mr. Ouyanf Weimin, and Ghana's Ambassador to China, Mr. Edward Boateng to cut the tape for official business to begin.
Addressing the gathering, Hon. Ayorkor Botchwey said the Guangzhou Consulate-General of the Republic of Ghana had its Consular District covering the Guangdong, Fujian and Hainan Provinces and the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
The Minister said when she visited China last year she had discussions with Mr Ouyanf Weimin and requested that he assisted Ghana to acquire a land for office building.
She urged the Governor's office to give it a priority consideration to further deepen the cooperation and friendship between our two countries," she stated.
The Hon. Foreign Minister said she was happy to be back in the beautiful city to open the newly established Consulate.
She said she was humbled to have the various Chinese officials to grace the occasion, and extended best regards from Ghana's President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to the Chinese President Xi Jinping and the officials.
Hon. Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey stressed that China remained the largest trade partner of Ghana, and so many other African countries and they considered this a decisive factor in the further development of the relations.
She recalled that in 1971, Ghana was one of the countries that led the way to get China unto the United Nations Security Council.
Since then, the foreign Minister said the relations between Ghana and China has improved significantly.
She expressed appreciation to the government of the People's Republic of China for accepting that Ghana's Consulate-General is established in the city of Guangzhou.
The Minister advised Ghanaians, who travel to China to do business or seek business partners and those with resident permits, to be law abiding.
In his welcoming address, Ghana's Ambassador to China, Mr. Edward Boateng, said in 2018, foreign trade volume between Ghana and China registered US$7.25 billion, up by 8.7 per cent and topped the list among all African countries.
Meanwhile, he said over 1,000 wells aided by China, were accomplished, benefiting people living in over 830 villages.
The Chinese Vice Governor traced the relationship between China and Ghana which dates very far back, and said she was hopeful that the already cordial relationship will be further strengthened.
Present was the Consulate General for Guangzhou, Mr. Samuel Yaw Nsiah.

Calls to look at building homes along the coast
Published: 08:00 Saturday 27 June 2015
New calls have come for the planning 'block' to be lifted on construction of new houses in Skegness and Mablethorpe.
Because of the Environment Agency's adamant views on coastal flood risk, permissions for significant new residential developments in the two towns are now difficult to achieve.
In line with national policy, East Lindsey planners believe inland towns such as Louth are preferable locations for new homes.
But at a planning policy committee meeting on Thursday, councillors agreed that the time had come for a rethink.
Chairman Coun Richard Fry said the two towns were 'well defended' from the sea and would most likely remain so.
"If we have confidence in our defences why should we not reconsider the case for allowing residential development on those brownfield sites that are available?" he questioned.
Support for this view came from Coun Tony Howard who was unimpressed with the 'box' housing favoured by housebuilders in the UK.
He continued: "We lag very much behind other countries which have found successful solutions for building next to large expanses of water.
"Perhaps East Lindsey could set an example that might be followed in other coastal areas."
Vice-chairman Coun David Andrews said most demand for seaside homes was for bungalows, but Coun Howard expressed a preference for construction of houses because they would be more likely to attract families, which would be to the benefit of school rolls and economic activity.
ELDC planning policy manager Anne Shorland agreed on the need to be 'innovative' but she warned that, if the authority's planning partners disagreed, adoption of a new Local Plan might be delayed or found to be 'unsound'.
She warned: "We could be on a hiding to nothing."
However, the committee resolved that officers should be tasked to prepare a report exploring a new approach to housebuilding on the coast.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained," insisted Coun Fry.

Ohio Casinos Show Opposition to Electronic Bingo Legislation
Senate Bill 176 in Ohio would legalize sports betting, something that casino operators and sports fans want to see happen. However, the bill also allows the state to start offering electronic instant bingo games and casinos are not happy at all about this inclusion. To fight the option, some gaming companies are coming out in opposition with a group called Get Gaming Right Ohio.
No Electronic Bingo Games
Get Gaming Right Ohio is a coalition consisting of gaming operators in the state. The group would like to see lawmakers reject the bill in its current form and advance a sports gaming bill that is responsible, protecting consumers and avoiding the consequences that expansion of underregulated gambling machines can create.
Just hours after SB 176 was approved by the Ohio Senate with an almost unanimous vote, Get Gaming Right Ohio decided to issue a statement. The group says that the electronic bingo machines will take away from the schools in the state.
The spokesperson for the group, Dan Williamson, commented that the group feels the sports betting bill is bad for Ohio. They are urging lawmakers to reject the measure. The group says that the bill will flood the state with underregulated games that do not include consumer protections. This puts residents at risk and takes away the potential for millions in education payments.
The goal of the group is to provide residents with information on the need for regulated, responsible, and limited gaming, as well as sports betting in the state. In the statement, both Penn National Gaming and JACK Entertainment showed their support.
The E-Bingo Element
With the new legislation, the state would allow up to 10 machines to be operated by an individual veteran or fraternal organization. The Get Gaming Right Ohio group says there are over 800 such organizations in the state. This number could potentially see over 8,000 of the electronic bingo machines in operation.
The games would be allowed to operate up to 12 hours a day. The organizations would not be taxed by the state on the revenues they earn from the games. This is a concern for the existing operators as they do not feel the bingo games will be regulated properly and consumer protection will be lacking.
For casinos, their games are overseen by the Ohio Casino Control Commission. Racinos in the state are allowed to offer video lottery terminals and they are controlled by the Ohio Lottery Commission. Neither of these regulators would be in charge of the electronic bingo machines and the coalition says this puts consumers at risk.
It doesn't appear as though lawmakers are as concerned, and the legislation has been able to move forward pretty quickly. It would be surprising to see any changes at this point, but you never know what could happen.
We will stay tuned to any developments and report on the process as it moves forward. It will be interesting to see if the bill is changed or if the casinos and racinos have to continue their fight in a different manner in order to try and stop the electronic bingo effort.
