Friday December 21, 2018 ARIES (Mar. 21–Apr. 19) There are days when you should take everything with a grain of salt. Today you may realize how important it is to gain the appreciation and respect of a certain person. TAURUS (Apr. 20–May 20) You shouldn't even try to find a reasonable explanation for what goes on around you today. There isn't one. Be carried by the tides of emotions from the past that run through your body and soul. GEMINI (May 21–June 20) Today you may ask yourself if you're satisfied. How is your personal life? Do people live up to your standards or are you always left feeling dissatisfied? CANCER(June21–July22) Nothing is simple where your family is concerned. If you've forgotten that, don't worry. Today will remind you. LEO (July 23–Aug. 22) You like to give people advice and help them find direction in their lives - sometimes when they haven't even asked. VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22) You may put your integrity under the microscope today. We all have deep convictions that we would never let go of. But society pressures us, and it isn't always easy to live in perfect harmony with our ideals. The question to ask yourself today is just how willing are you to change
LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22) Your freedom is more important to you than anything else in your life. It's often very difficult for you to get involved, whether personally or professionally. Nevertheless, today you may have to think about it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21) Certain very narrowminded people may get on your nerves. You're lucky enough to be an open, tolerant person. SAGIT(Nov.22–Dec.21) Today you will be able to explore the power of your emotions. Don't try and fight what you call your "oversensitivity." CAPRI(Dec.22–Jan.19) Capricorn, you feel secure in the warmth and depth of your emotions. Today you will have the opportunity to reenergize and regenerate yourself from the inside out. AQUARIUS(Jan.20–Feb.18) The atmosphere may seem a bit oppressive today. You like to be free to do what you want to do, and it may bother you that the people around you don't make themselves available to you. PISCES (Feb. 19–Mar. 20) You may feel a bit tied down today. It won't necessarily be a bad day, but you may wonder about certain aspects of your family life. Don't try and kid yourself. You should think hard about what you want for your family
Dhaka, Bangladesh, CMC – Skipper Carlos Brathwaite he said he hoped West Indies could be at their best for tomorrow’s decider, after conceding they were not up to scratch in yesterday’s 36-run defeat in the second Twenty20 International. Sent in, Bangladesh posted a 211 for four off their 20 overs – the highest-ever T20 total on home soil – and West Indies folded for 175 with four balls remaining, to leave the three-match series tied at 1-1. The hosts grabbed the early advantage courtesy of Liton Das who smashed 60 from 34 balls, posting 42 for the first wicket with Tamim Iqbal (15) and a further 68 for the second with Soumya Sarkar (32). When three wickets fell for 10 runs in the space of 12 balls, Mahmudullah (43 not out) and captain Shakib-alHasan (42 not out) combined in an unbroken 91-run, fifth wicket stand to give the in-
nings a rousing finish. ”I don’t think that we got it right in the first six [overs] so we were always chasing the game,” Brathwaite said afterwards. ”But when you say ‘A’ you have to say ‘B’, credit must go to the Bangladeshi batsmen. Obviously Liton Das chanced his arm early, got away, got a decent score and then Mahmudullah and Shakib kept the momentum right to the end. ”We didn’t bowl as well as we wanted but if I’m to be brutally honest, we still thought they were 10, 15 runs short with how good the wicket was. I guess we could’ve been a bit tighter with our plans but you must give credit where credit is due and I think they batted brilliantly.” West Indies were at fault in the field, missing a couple of chances in an undisciplined effort which fell short of their quality showing in the opening T20 International earlier this week. Brathwaite put the performance down to an “off night”, however, prom-
ising West Indies would lift their standard for the all-important match at the same venue. ”We didn’t have our best day in the field but that doesn’t mean we’re a bad fielding team,” he stressed. “We’re still as good a fielding team as we were in the first game. That display was excellent, we just had an off night tonight. We should bring our A-game come the last game and try to win the series 2-1.”
Naming rights part... From page 35 just be an oasis, so to speak, and then around it is just terrible,” said Williams. “Once the municipality is providing that designation, there come with it certain types of benefits. But also, with this increase in activities, you will find, as well, that the community is welcome to participate, but it will also find jobs. ”Cricket matches provide temporary employment relief, but once you have us establish that entertainment zone, then that relief is no longer temporary. It is extensive.”
USOC prized... From page 36 attention. A Senate subcommittee looking into the Nassar scandal last week said it would ask the FBI to determine whether former U.S. Olympic Committee Chief Executive Officer Scott Blackmun had made false statements to the panel. USOC CEO Sarah Hirshland expressed gratitude for the House committee’s report and said athlete safety was now the body’s No. 1 priority. “Sexual abuse, harassment and discrimination have no place in the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic community, and it’s on all of us – member organizations, institutions, and individuals alike – to foster a healthy culture for competitive excellence,” Hirshland said. The USOC said it had strengthened its athlete safety programs, elevated the voices of athletes in shaping USOC and NGB policies and begun evaluating and reforming how the USOC engages with NGBs and athletes. ”We will continue to do the work necessary to develop a healthy culture that keeps athletes safe and allows them to be their very best,” it said.
