As archaeological activities extended over the entire western shore of the Arabian Gulf, forts that are more defensive were found. Among them is the fort which was unearthed by an Iraqi team in 1974 and located off shore of Umm Al Qawain Emirate in UAE. This was dated to Seleucid Empire as well. Ever since then, forts, castles and towers, began to spread over certain locations in inland and on shores of the Arabian Gulf down to modern times. Among them, for example, is an Islamic fort found in the northern part of Bahrain Island, and locally known as Bahrain Fort or Portugal Fort.

Feeling appreciated or needed as a volunteer appears to amplify the relationship between vol- unteering and psycho-social well-being. More vulnerable seniors (those with chronic health conditions) may benefit the most from volunteering. However, health benefits depend on a moderate level of volunteering. There appears to be a tip- ping point after which greater benefits no longer accrue. The “sweet spot” appears to be at about 100 annual hours, or two to three hours per week. “Taken together, these results suggest that volunteering is associated with health improve- ments and increased physical activity - changes By Andrew M Seaman that one would expect to offer protection against Overall, about four of every five participants were a variety of health conditions,” Anderson added. still following the diets 12 months later.

HYPER SUDOKU How to play Kakuro: The kakuro grid, unlike in sudoku, can be of any size. It has rows and columns, and dark cells like in a crossword. And, just like in a crossword, some of the dark cells will contain numbers. Some cells will contain two numbers. However, in a crossword the numbers reference clues. In a kakuro, the numbers are all you get! They denote the total of the digits in the row or column referenced by the number. Within each collection of cells - called a run - any of the numbers 1 to 9 may be used but, like sudoku, each number may only be used once.
