ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Parents have to be patient with their kids. All of you have to be patient with others when discussing shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances, social occasions, and involvement with friends and groups. People are at odds with each other.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

There’s no way to sugarcoat this. The full moon is in your sign, plus, the moon is at odds with Pluto and Mars. “Our options are limited Captain. We cannot fire and we cannot flee.” Yes, the logic of Spock. Sit this one out. Don’t add fuel to the fire.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Arguments and disputes are classic because a number of planets are at odds with each other, plus, it’s a full moon in Taurus. Simply put, this means don’t go looking for trouble because it will easily find you. Your work might be hampered by delays and mistakes.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Naturally, with the moon being your ruler, you will feel the energy of the full moon. But more than that, the moon is at odds with both Pluto and Mars, encouraging competition, confrontations, even jealousy. Quarrels about money and possessions might take place.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a challenging day because the full moon is at odds with your sign, possibly triggering irritation and annoyance with others. Some kind of situation will likely come to a head. One upside is that secrets could be revealed, which might be a good thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be quick to make a retort to someone. And likewise, you will notice others are a bit touchy as well. Fortunately, the full moon is supportive to you; nevertheless, you will have to be patient with others. That’s the best way to skate through this day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Although many of you are in the legal profession and can debate eloquently, as a rule, you avoid confrontations. (Nobody likes the nasties.) Confrontations about money, possessions, kids, social occasions and issues related to organizations are likely. Keep your head down and your powder dry.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Cut yourself some slack as the day’s vibes are challenging. For starters, the full moon is opposite your sign; and because it is also at odds with Mars and Pluto relations with authority figures, parents as well as family members are potentially contentious. Tread carefully.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Avoid controversial subjects as it’s easy to fall into an argument or dispute with someone. Not only will discussions with siblings, relatives and neighbours be dicey, but the full moon can create problems with work colleagues or something related to your pet.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a popular time for you, especially because friends and contacts from the past are back in your world. Be patient with your kids and avoid disputes about shared property, money, joint expenses and debt. Keep things light.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your dealings with parents and authority figures will be challenged, no question. This is not the day to ask for permission or approval. Likewise, relations with partners, spouses and close friends are also on thin ice. Patience and diplomacy are your best friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Avoid touchy subjects such as politics, religion and racial issues. Likewise, don’t be demanding with co-workers because arguments can quickly flare up. Give yourself an easy schedule. Avoid difficult people for your own peace of mind.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Animator, actor, writer Seth MacFarlane (1973) shares your birthday. You’re focused, organized and commanding. You’re also a gifted leader.

Winnipeggers unhappy with city leadership, but mostly unwilling to do anything about it

This is not an endorsement (not my job) nor is it a prediction (predictions are for suckers) of what will happen Wednesday in Winnipeg’s mayoral race. It is, however, a call to arms for voters.

The latest Free Press-Abacus Data (formerly Probe Research) poll, published this past weekend recorded a noticeable decline in support for the two theoretical front-runners (Scott Gillingham and Kevin Klein, respectively) and an increase from modest to significant for just about everyone else.

Gillingham saw his support from decided voters drop from 55 per cent to 36 per cent. Klein, the former city councillor and MLA, saw support drop from 23 to 19 per cent.

And what of the rest? Business owner Mike Vogiatzakis, who generated most of his headlines in this campaign by engaging in NHL-grade trash-talking with Klein, was up three points to 14 per cent. And Noah Redden, the 27-year-old software developer, saw his support jump by 10 points, from four to 14 per cent.

China virus death toll rises to 425, total cases now 20,438

Ken Moritsugu, The Associated Press 6 minute read Monday, Feb. 3, 2020

BEIJING - The death toll in mainland China from the new type of virus has risen to 425, with the total number of cases now standing at 20,438, officials said Tuesday.

The new figures come after the country opened a new hospital built in 10 days, infused cash into tumbling financial markets and further restricted people's movement in hopes of containing the rapidly spreading virus and its escalating impact.

Japanese officials were deciding whether to quarantine more than 3,000 people on a cruise ship that carried a passenger who tested positive for the virus.

The latest figures are up from 361 deaths and 17,205 confirmed cases.

Is the student or the system falling short?

Is the student or the system falling short?

Karen Velthuys 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

One night at bedtime, a 10-year-old looked at her mother with tears in her eyes and said, “Mom, I think I’m stupid.”

Her friends could read. She couldn’t. The teacher kept moving on. And she’d quietly worked out that the problem must be her.

She’s not the only one. Roughly half of Manitoba students aren’t meeting grade-level reading expectations on provincial assessments. As schools begin screening young readers from kindergarten to Grade 4 this fall, it’s the right moment to ask why.

Every education system answers a basic question: who is this built for? We expect children to read by about the end of Grade 3, to sit and focus for long stretches, and to show what they know in one narrow way — written down, on time, in the format we hand them. A student who does those things is called “a good student.”

When privacy means deprivation

John R. Wiens 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The right to a private life is a fundamental human need — that is not in dispute. However, our current practices of privacy, particularly when it comes to privacy for children, are a recipe for deprivation, an unintended consequence of our otherwise good intentions.

Two articles in the Oct. 17 Free Press — “If every child matters, why no public inquiry?” by Marion Willis; and “Student violence surges” by Maggie Macintosh — raised serious questions which make privacy seem more like neglect than benefit.

A democratic society has every right to be concerned about privacy and its many advantages. Ancient Greeks likened privacy to home life, a safe place where you could make foolish mistakes, behavioural and otherwise, away from public scrutiny and judgment. The point was that it was a place to test your ideas to make them fit for appearing in public.

Our public schools are to a large measure built on those premises — classrooms out of the public eye where children can make mistakes and learn without paying a price. It’s why all visitors must first report to the office to establish their validity. That sense of privacy has proved beneficial and essential as we try to teach children the civility, respect, empathy, integrity and personal responsibility essential for entering and contributing to a healthy public — thriving communities and a humane society where everyone is welcomed and valued.
