CROSSWORD Your star today Be prepared today. A longtime dream (Mar 21st - Apr 20th) regarding your career may finally become YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION a reality. At first you might not believe it, fighting the news in order to avoid possible disappointment. Don’t fall into this trap; it creates negative energy, which can get in your way. You tend to be your own worst critic, and today you’re more likely to be that way. Recent (Apr 21st - May 21st) setbacks on the job might find you harbouring doubts about your own capabilities. Be objective about the situation. Whatever happened was probably above and beyond your control, so it isn’t fair to doubt yourself because of it. Today could be a strange day where money (May 22nd - Jun 21st) is concerned. You might not be sure exactly where you stand financially, so it might be a good idea to get all your records together and go over them carefully. This isn’t a good day for making investments. Get whatever information you can on investments that interest you, study them, and make decisions later.

(June 22nd - July 23rd) Unsafe conditions could exist around the house, which may result in accidents if they aren’t rectified. Some may not be readily apparent, so warn family members to be careful. This isn’t a good day to do any heavy work around the home. If you’re planning major repairs, it might be a good idea to Across Down postpone them. 1- Bishop’s headdress; 6- Rough files; 11- Patriotic org.; 14- Papal 1- Oliver Twist’s request; 2- Angers; 3- Diplomacy; 4- “The Time (July 24th - Aug 23rd) One or more of your co-workers could appear to garment; 15- Author Calvino; 16- Lennon’s mate; 17- Survey; 19- Machine” people; 5- Chinese money; 6- Mob scenes; 7- Play to ___ be rather upset or depressed on the job today, Tonywinning Hagen; 20- Guess;21- Concerning Comanches, e.g.; 23- (draw); 8- Parked oneself; 9- Excess; 10- Light reddish brown; 11- and this is likely to affect your own efficiency.

BEETLE BAILEY R (Sep 24th - Oct 23rd) Boredom and restlessness may plague you today. You could feel the need to break loose from the ties that bind you to mundane affairs, to run away and seek adventure, although you aren’t certain what kind of adventure! The walls may be closing around you at home and on the job. You might want to plan some kind of outing for an upcoming weekend. Your concentration should be high today. (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) You’re likely to be more observant than usual. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself noticing people and sensing their thoughts and feelings even more than usual. This is a good day to read, study, attend a class, or otherwise acquire new information. You may discover something new about a subject that really interests you. Worries about money could be uppermost in (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) your mind today. You may have suffered some financial setbacks and wonder how you can muster enough funds to get over the hump. YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION However, help is on the way. An outside source could provide funds to tide you over. Whatever problems you may have will all be straightened out. Your own ingenuity and a little help from your friends will probably see you through. (Dec 22nd- Jan 20th) Setbacks on the job might have you a little depressed and worried. Don’t worry; all will be well. Think of this as a challenge to overcome. Your natural practicality and efficiency will see you through. Someone isn’t being totally honest with you. Encourage people around you to open up and communicate. What they say may not be all that agreeable, but at least you’ll be better able to assess the situation. (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) Sudden events that come to you via TV, newspapers, or the Internet, could shake up long-cherished belief systems today. This could have you feeling momentarily disconcerted and a bit disillusioned. At the same time, this information could open up new doors for you. Your natural curiosity will eventually win out. A task that you’ve been working on for a long (Feb 20th - Mar 20th) time could come to a standstill today due to circumstances beyond your control. You’re likely How to play: to feel quite frustrated, as there seems to be Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each nothing you can do to speed things up.

Angel Di Maria celebrates scoring their first goal Paris rgentine winger Angel Di Maria produced a majestic performance capped by two fine goals to help French Cup Aholders Paris St Germain reach the semi-finals with a 3-0 win over Olympique Marseille. It was a carbon copy of PSG’s 3-0 league victory over Marseille on Sunday in which their Brazil forward Neymar suffered a broken foot that requires surgery and is likely to keep him out for six to eight weeks. PSG’s win came amid two quarter-final shocks as third division Les Herbiers and Chambly, both in the relegation zone, upset more heralded rivals to reach the last four. Les Herbiers beat second division Lens 4-2 on penalties following a goalless stalemate after extra time on Tuesday and Chambly stunned top-tier Strasbourg 1-0 thanks to a late Lassana Doucoure goal on Wednesday. Di Maria, whose playing time this season has been limited by Neymar’s performances, scored both goals with his weaker right foot and was a constant menace to Marseille, whose goalkeeper Steve Mandanda spared the visitors from a heavier defeat. Di Maria opened the scoring on the stroke of halftime when he drilled in a stinging low shot from 20 metres which took a slight deflection off Marseille defender Adil Rami, prompting Mandanda to kick his post in frustration. Di Maria added the second in the 48th minute with a composed finish after left back Yuri Berchiche’s teasing cross sailed past two defenders. Mandanda, who had saved a Di Maria piledriver in the first half, somehow kept out Edinson Cavani’s header and Julian Draxler shot inches wide with a spectacular overhead kick before Cavani sealed the rout in the 82nd minute. A dazzling move through the middle left Cavani with time to crash a thumping low shot past Mandanda as the home fans celebrated at the Parc des Princes.
