You're the first sign of the zodiac so it shouldn't come as any surprise then that you’re a born leader. You shine brightly, taking the initiative in everything you do and people see that in you immediately. There are no half-measures with you. You have that same fearlessness and certainly aren't afraid to explore the unknown in life. You’re lively, energetic and daring, and a fighter too. You crave adventure, and love to travel the world. You're a pioneer, and have the ability to lead. People admire your independence and freedom of expression in everything you do. You could opt for work where you are your own boss, because you hate being told what to do. You know how to make your own decisions and create your own destiny. There might be plenty of stress in treading this path but at least it’s pressure on your own terms. Achieving your goals is important to you. You know exactly what you want, and have no problem going after your goals. Your style is brisk, edgy and uncompromising. People who associate with you soon learn that they have to keep up — if they don’t, they'll soon fall by the wayside. You have an instinctive understanding of what has to be done. There’s no procrastination in your manner- you hate laziness. You accept all experiences as a challenge, something to be jumped into with passion and excitement. It's all one big learning curve for an Aries. You have ample confidence and self-assurance. These characteristics are at the heart of your nature and are among your greatest strengths. Just remember that sometimes this comes across as being overly assertive, perhaps even self-centered. Your freedom-loving spirit means you like having space to get on with your work on your own terms. This can make it hard for you to be at your best in a team environment — some people misinterpret your energy and focus as insensitivity, even rudeness. You could try to make an effort, when you are working in a group, to let your co-workers see your unselfish and non-egotistical side. You always prefer to get on with the job rather than to sitting around waiting for something to happen. This means that you are a little impatient with people who work at a slower pace. You can counteract this by remembering to relax and focus on some give and take — this will be an important challenge and life lesson for you. You are impulsive yet will come up with all sorts of brilliant ideas. Occasionally however, you will occasionally get things wrong, too. Luckily, you aren’t afraid of making mistakes and learning your life lessons the hard way. (There’s Aries' fearlessness kicking in again!) All these traits that reflect tons of energy, enthusiasm and confidence but you are also misunderstood by others. Some will say you are tactless and indifferent when they offer you advice. From your point of view, it’s a matter of remembering that not everyone is as quick-witted and capable as you; just be aware that you need to be gentle and patient when dealing with weakness or slowness in others. It would be a good idea to pay more attention to detail, rather than just focusing on the big picture, which is what you instinctively do — this would help bring out your talents. Try to accommodate the different types of people you have to deal with. If you can learn to balance your patience and sensitivity with your courage and determination, you will discover your life can be magically transformed and spiritualized. In this life you are destined to take on a leadership position. Remember, that while you are tackling your responsibilities, you are also setting an example for others. If you can tap into the gentler and cooler side of your character, it will temper your passion and energy superbly, and you will be much loved and looked up to by family, friends and work associates. If you were born between 21 and 30 March, the planet Mars will be doubly strong for you. It rules your fortune and destiny. You can be very demanding, and not so good at tolerating opposition in any form — you will make those of different views from yours prove their case. You are the Ghengis Khan of the Aries clan. This increased Martian energy gives you lots of oomph and physical stamina. You need to get involved with as much physical activity as possible to release your frustration. If you were born between 31 March and 10 April, it makes you a proud and extremely loyal person. You also have traces of the other fire sign, Leo, in your make-up. You’re one of the brighter fireflies in the Aries camp and attract people very easily. You also impose your will on others, almost magically, without their opposition. Your lesson in life is to learn how to use your powers responsibly. Being born between 11 and 19 April means you are endowed with greater humanitarian characteristics, which means you have gentler and added charitable motivations behind your actions. You run the risk of occasionally pushing yourself harder than your body and mind can handle. You mean well, but in the heat of the moment you say and do things you later regret. You’re a lucky person, though, because Jupiter’s beneficial rays promise protection. Many fascinating opportunities are destined to come your way. THREE CLASSES OF ARIES March 21 - 30 If you’re an Aries born between the 21st and the 30th of March, Mars doubly rules and controls your destiny. You are full of fire and, on many occasions, brimstone. Power, vitality and high level of energy mark you out from others. You need to work out, get heavily involved with sports and other physical activities which will give you an adequate outlet. You are a great leader and often challenge the status quo because you believe that things can be done better than what they are. This can, however, put you at odds with others and make you a target for enemies. Although you are fearless, you may sometimes need to temper your opinions to fit in with the more conservative crowd. March 31 - April 10 Being born between the 31st of March and the 10th of April makes you proud, loyal and sometimes inflexible in your opinions. You have a very strong idea about how life should be lived and you’re not prepared to make concessions to others. You are, however, very charming and love to stand out in the crowd. The way you dress, your appearance and your reputation are extremely important to you. You are also very competitive and this aspect of your nature can also, like the first group of Aries just mentioned, make you a target for those who become envious of your successful and unique life. You may need to employ a little humility to smooth out some of the more difficult relationships in your life. April 11 - 20 If you were born between the 11th and the 20th of April means that you have a broad mind and a full and open heart. This gives you spiritual as well as material ambitions and you will look at life differently to most Aries, indeed most people generally. The thrill or travelling and the excitement of exploring the world and different cultures means that you’ll be plugged into news, current affairs and other topics that give you a deeper understanding of the world that you live in. Progress and expanding your mind, educating yourself and sharing noble ideas with others will make you happy and fulfilled. You certainly have something to teach others and this will be an important component of your destiny. BORN ON A CUSP? Aries – Pisces cusp  The intensity, fire and drive of your typical Aries Sun sign is significantly softened by the Piscean influence.  This means that if you're born in the first week or so of Aries ie between the 21st and the 28th of March, you are called a cusp baby and will be influenced not only by Mars and Aries but also by Jupiter, Neptune and the sign that they rule, namely Pisces. Although you still have the drive and determination of your Aries Sun sign, you're also influenced by compassionate and loving Pisces.  Your heart reaches out to others and you feel the suffering and pain of your fellow men.  You're able to empathise and are therefore a great listener when it comes to others wanting to share their problems with you.  You never turn others away and this is why you're a loved by all your friends and family. There is a danger that you out too impulsive in giving your assistance to others and will often kick yourself when that advantage is taken too far.  You realize afterwards that you are an easy target and people do indeed take you for a ride.  This will of course make you very angry once you understand what a fool you have been.  Try to assess the character and motives of others more carefully before quickly giving over your time, money or your heart. There may be a difficulty in choosing between your head and your heart at times.  Making decisions may not always be easy as you eventually get it that jumping the gun has caused you to make errors of judgment.  But although you need to hold back at times you do run the risk of becoming a procrastinator by swinging too far in the opposite direction.  Try to balance your emotional and mental assessment problems, people and your life direction.  Eventually you'll find the perfect balance between head and heart. An important life lesson for you will be to trust in the process of life and not get too caught up in the decision-making process itself.  Get your facts, get some feedback from those you trust even those who are perhaps professionals and then make a decision.  Once this is done however you must let go and let life determine the outcome. Aries – Taurus cusp The independent nature which is so predominantly a feature of your Aries character is heightened by being born at the tail end of your Sun sign.  The next sign of the Zodiac is Taurus and if you were born between the 13th and 20th of April you will exhibit many of the traits of the bull. Dependable, sometimes a stubborn but always loving your combined Sun sign of Aries and Taurus makes you are very reliable character indeed.  You have a tenacity coupled with creative enterprise that can make you a very successful person not just in your professional endeavors but your personal affairs as well. You're always loyal to a tee and this you take from both Sun signs. Taurus born individuals are very security conscious so you will always make an effort to ensure that your future financial circumstances are comfortable and will leave very little to chance.  Because you have such a high level of Aries energy your industriousness along with your tenacity and dependability make you an awesome force to be dealt with. You will always have money and even if in the early stages of your life you are not super wealthy, you will slowly but surely grow and their stake which will hold you in good stead later in your life. One life lesson that you must heed is that of flexibility.  You will run into many difficulties if you hold on to your position to strongly in the face of good advice.  You must learn when to let go, when change is necessary and most importantly when you are wrong.  By lending your ego get the better of you will suffer setbacks in your personal relationships.  Humility is one of the important keywords are those of you born in this Aries and Taurus cuspal time of the year

ASUU UPDATE

THE Federal Government may have
reopened dialogue with the leadership of
the Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU), in a bid to end the over two
months old strike.
This came just as the National Association
of Nigerians Students (NANS) urged both
government and ASUU to return back to
the negotiation table, with each party
willing to shift ground from their
previous positions.
Indications to the new development with
ASUU emerged on Monday, when
journalists were called to cover the
meeting, which was eventually postponed
till next week, with a ministry official
saying this was to allow the supervising
Minister of Education, Mr Nyesom Wike,
get proper briefing on the current
standpoint of the issues involved.
Wike was joined by the Minister of Labour
and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu, for
the meeting scheduled for 12 noon at the
Federal Ministry of Education conference
room before it was called off.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that the
resumption of talks followed the exit of
the former Minister of Education,
Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i, who
was dropped last week by President
Goodluck Jonathan alongside eight other
ministers.
The negotiation between the government
and leadership of ASUU broke down over
disagreement on payment of academic
earned allowance to union members.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian students, under
the auspices of NANS, have called on both
the Federal Government and ASUU to
return back to the negotiation table, in
order to resolve their differences in good
faith.
Acting Senate president of NANS, John
Shima, while addressing newsmen in
Abuja, lauded the sack of Professor Rufa’i
and other ministers, as part of the
initiatives of President Jonathan to retool
the government.
“ASUU and Federal Government should go
back to the negotiating table. Even after
wars, issues are resolved at the
roundtable. Nigerian students have been
idle for 78 days.
“Nigerian students are tired of sitting at
home. Both parties are urged to shift
ground to ensure quick resolution of the
crisis.
“We lost almost three years of study time
in the last 10 years due to strikes; the lost
time being enough to graduate a student
in Germany,” Shima said.

HORROR PHOTOS: Hundreds of Tourists Washed Away by Tidal Wave

They came in their droves, all hoping to catch a glimpse of what is considered to be one of Mother Nature's more unusual spectacles.
However, these spectators unwittingly became part of the show when a huge tidal bore burst through a dam and spilled over the riverbank, sweeping scores of tourists off their feet.
One moment these bystanders stood transfixed at the banks of the Qiantang River in Haining, in east China's Zhejiang province, waiting to witness the natural phenomenon.

Panic: Tourists flee as the ridal bore breaks through the dam by the Qiantang River in Haining, east China's Zhejiang province

Tidal wave: Spectators scatter as the water crashes over them in one of Mother Nature's more unusual phenomena

Swept away: Police try valiantly to protect the crowds from the tidal surge, including women and children, but the sheer weight and speed of the water carries off everyone in its path
The next they were running for their lives as a huge wave came crashing towards them, engulfing the crowds while others looked on helplessly.
While there were no fatalities, more than 20 people were injured after the wave swept through the throng, and some had to be be carried to receive medical attention.
The astonishing natural phenomenon, which is an abrupt uprising of river water, happens when the moon's gravity influence tides from the sea, moving them upstream, resulting in the mesmerising bore.

Frenzy: The water engulfs the tourists, knocking some off their feet while others can only look on in horror

Wounded: The injured are carried away from the scene after the tidal bore crashed through a dam and swept through a crowd of spectators

Stretchered away: A woman is carried from the scene after the bore broke the banks of the river. More than 20 people were injured by the rogue wave, with many needing to be carried away for treatment
More than 20 people were injured by the rogue wave, with many needing to be carried away for treatment.
Despite the authorities warning onlookers to stand back from the river bank, many fail to heed the advice and end up trying to out-run the wave when it heads towards them.
Bores only occur in a few locations throughout the world, usually in areas with a large tidal range and where incoming tides are funnelled into a shallow, narrowing lake or river.
China's Qiantang River boasts the largest bore, up nine metres - or 30 feet high - and travelling up to 25mph.
Awesome power: Debris flies into the air after the water, which travels at speeds of up to 25mph, slams into the bank of the river. Many spectators are already beginning to panic
Swamped: The owners of this van may be having to hitch a ride home with someone else, after the river waters flow over the protective dam and engulf the vehicle
Standing her ground: A Chinese television news reporter, keen to get the best possible location for her piece to camera, is unaware of the huge wave behind her. Thankfully, she was not injured
The annual event is becoming a bit of a headache for authorities, who each year tell spectators to keep their distance from the tidal surge.
But, each year, daredevils and unsuspecting spectators stray too close to the river's edge, erroneously thinking they can outrun the wall of water.
In September 2008 a group of American surfers convinced the Chinese government to allow them to surf a section of the river.
Personal watercraft were used to safely transport the surfers in and out of the tidal bore.
