Daily Diversions<br />

THE NAMIBIAN<br />

Your Stars<br />

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)<br />

There’s a bit of rigidity in the air that<br />

might leave you feeling as if you’re butting<br />

heads with everything you come in contact<br />

with. Try not to get too bent out of shape if people<br />

disagree with your opinions. People need their space,<br />

and emotions will be operating at a fairly high level.<br />

Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)<br />

Your emotions may surprise you today<br />

as unexpected issues crop up out of nowhere.<br />

Take time to smooth the wrinkles<br />

in your current plan of attack regarding your involvement<br />

with the world. A self-centred approach will create<br />

barriers between you and those you wish get near.<br />

ADOLESCENCE ...<br />

gorillas that caused<br />

thousands of pounds<br />

worth of damage to<br />

their zoo enclosure.<br />

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)<br />

You may wonder what all the fuss is<br />

about today. People may be getting all<br />

worked up over nothing. Don’t get<br />

absorbed in the melodrama. Set the record straight<br />

and bring out the truth as you see it. Don’t let others<br />

hide behind façades, and don’t do the same.<br />

Taurus (Apr 21 - May 20)<br />

Today is a wonderful and productive<br />

day for you. Don’t hog the limelight.<br />

Let other people feel like they’re being<br />

heard, too. You might get into trouble if your head gets<br />

too big or your attitude too stubborn. Opinions will<br />

be strong, so give people room to voice their own.<br />

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)<br />

Stand back and let someone else take the<br />

reins. There are many helpful hands out<br />

there to guide you. The most important<br />

thing is to let go and have confidence that others will<br />

direct you. They will if you let them. Your brain may<br />

buzz to the point that you feel you’ve lost control.<br />

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)<br />

You have quite the juggling act on<br />

your hands today. Things may fly at<br />

you from all directions, all demanding<br />

your attention. Give equal weight to your needs.<br />

You will be on an important road with a great deal<br />

of responsibility. Don’t shy away from a starring role.<br />

Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)<br />

Tension may build today from all directions.<br />

Everyone may seem to be<br />

operating as part of a great conspiracy<br />

against you. Don’t get paranoid. This scenario<br />

is most likely far from the truth of the matter. Try<br />

to embrace change and don’t treat it like an enemy.<br />

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)<br />

Spread your ideas out to the world.<br />

Now is a great time to go on a long<br />

trip. Explore the far reaches of your<br />

space. Join others who share a similar spiritual mission.<br />

By reaching out to new and different people,<br />

you can have some unforgettable experiences.<br />

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 23)<br />

Take time out to change the things in<br />

your life that need restoring. Explore<br />

your emotional needs and find ways<br />

to satisfy them. You may need to adopt a different<br />

approach in order to get where you need to go. Even<br />

if things seem unstable, they’re likely to smooth out.<br />

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)<br />

Today may be emotionally intense. Your<br />

greatest gifts may get you into trouble on<br />

a day like this, but that doesn’t mean you<br />

should stop being yourself for even one minute. There’s<br />

a great deal of important information to exchange,<br />

so remain open to all opportunities and possibilities.<br />

Dove Adverts Criticised<br />

For Stance On<br />

Public Breastfeeding<br />

Skincare brand Baby Dove has been criticised for<br />

controversial new adverts, which many claim perpetuate<br />

a negative image of breastfeeding in public.<br />

One advert says: ‘Seventy-five percent say breastfeeding<br />

in public is fine, 25% say put them away. What’s your way?’<br />

And another, which shows a crying baby, reads: ‘Thirtysix<br />

percent are for feeding him when he cries, 64% are<br />

passionately against it. What’s your way?’<br />

The advertising standards authority has received 151<br />

complaints, including concerns the ad perpetuates a negative<br />

image of breastfeeding in public, according to the BBC.<br />

Blogger Sarah Turner wrote an open letter to Dove on<br />

Facebook, stressing that supporting the ‘dangerous’ view<br />

that it was okay to criticise people for breastfeeding in<br />

public may put mums off doing it.<br />

Emma Pickett, from the Association of Breastfeeding<br />

Mothers, said: ‘It’s not anyone’s ‘way’ to oppose it unless<br />

they fancy going to court or criminal action, and it’s<br />

insulting to imagine that mums who formula feed automatically<br />

sympathise with people who dislike breastfeeding<br />

in public.’ – metro.co.uk<br />

Notable Quotes<br />

WE have already communicated to undertakers<br />

that the facility will not be able to burn any more<br />

bodies until the end of this month due to repair<br />

work that needs to be done. – Grieving families have<br />

once again been left in the lurch following the City of<br />

Windhoek’s announcement last week to that it was<br />

closing down the crematorium for a month to fix the<br />

44-year-old furnace. Windhoek spokesperson Lydia<br />

Amutenya said the last cremations will take place<br />

today, after which the facility will be shut until 31 July.<br />

TREASURY cannot bail out an institution that<br />

has irregularly invested shareholder capital outside<br />

Namibia, which now appears to have become<br />

irretrievable. – An assessment on the troubled SME<br />

Bank done by the finance ministry early this year<br />

says the bank should be closed because it failed to<br />

deliver on its mandate.<br />

From the History Books<br />

THERE are three roads to ruin; women, gambling<br />

and technicians. The most pleasant is with women,<br />

the quickest is with gambling, but the surest is with<br />

technicians. – Georges Jean Raymond Pompidou<br />

(5 July 1911 – 2 April 1974) was prime minister of<br />

France from 1962 to 1968—the longest tenure in the<br />

position’s history—and later president of the French<br />

Republic from 1969 until his death in 1974. He had<br />

long been a top aide to president Charles de Gaulle.<br />

As president, he was a moderate conservative who<br />

repaired France’s relationship with the United States,<br />

and maintained positive relations with the newlyindependent<br />

former colonies in Africa.<br />

* Mithridatise (MITH-ri-day-tyz)<br />

Verb tr.: To develop immunity to a poison by gradually<br />

increasing the dose.<br />

Usage: “They can parry all chemical poisons by<br />

mithridatising.” Bernard Werber; Empire of the Ants;<br />

Bantam; 1999. “Grandpa Socrates ... eats toxins to<br />

mithridatise himself and is having an affair with a<br />

ghost.” Sarah Birke; Bedazzled by Gadgets; New<br />

Statesman (London, UK); 11 December 2006.<br />

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)<br />

You may need to make some distinct<br />

mental adjustments in order to fit in<br />

with the energy of the day. Try to tune<br />

into these energies and see what kind of balance<br />

they can bring to your life. Be more mindful of your<br />

words and don’t say things you don’t really mean.<br />

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)<br />

There’s likely to be a bit of tension<br />

today regarding your position in society.<br />

Maybe you’re running into issues<br />

that stem from your involvement in the collective<br />

versus your focus on your personal issues. Make<br />

sure these two aspects of your life are in balance.
