SmartGoals helps to create fast dynamic football with your team. SmartGoals can be used to devise complete training sessions with warming-up exercises, moves and skills training, passing and receiving, positional games, fitness training, finishing exercises and small team matches, Van Oosterhout explained. Everyone can work with the SmartGoals, no computers, laptops or tablets are required. With the SmartRemote controlling the SmartGoals is as easy as zapping through the channels of your TV, he added. It excites players, it challenges players and you can use it in so many ways at every level, says Rene Meulensteen coach at Fulham FC.

Continued from last week

s the excavations proceeded within an area of 3x2m and half meter in depth, 165 bronze arrowheads, four bronze serpents, three bronze fish hooks, four bronze awls, two bronze needles, three miniature bronze daggers,A and one bead made of semi-precious stone were found. As the excavations continued in different directions of the mound, more objects made of different materials were unearthed. The major- ity of them seemed to be associated with serpent motifs or serpents made of bronze or pottery. These findings left no doubt that this specific area was a temple dedi- cated for worshipping serpents nearly three thousand years ago. Dr Munir Taha The excavations also revealed more antiqui- Pottery lid - Mound of Serpents (1979) ties associated with ser- pents and objects for daily use. Chief among them were two complete small spouted vessels decorated with ser- pents motives, pottery lids with handles or knobs in the form of serpents, different sorts of stone beads, a pendent in a form of a camel rider, fragments and large pottery sherds belonging to storage jars. In addition to the above mentioned materials, broken stone vessels decorated with symbol of serpents, small bronze knives, fish hooks, incense burners, iron arrow- heads and bronze heads were also found. In conclusion, within that small area nearly one thou- sand objects were unearthed. All of them seem to be suitable for displaying at any international museum. The news of the discoveries spread all over the UAE and the Gulf countries through media. Thereafter visitors of all kinds and blunders used to pay us visits through the day. Headlines like “The people of the (UAE) used to wor- ship (Snakes) Three Thousand Years Ago” started to appear in local newspapers. Consequently, a number of people who read these reports resented the idea. In other words, they rejected the reality of the discovery. Luckily after conducting more excavations in differ- ent parts of the UAE and the Gulf, more temples and things associated with materials discovered at the temple Al Qusais town found at Al qusais were found everywhere in the Gulf. Due to these discoveries people slowly but surely began to accept the reality. In this respect, one might say people worshiped the might of a creature, but not the creature itself to avoid the unpredictably of its might. After closing the excavations and comprehensive documentations of all the materials found dring these excavations I returned back to Cambridge University for writing my PhD dissertation. The serpent skulls found during the excavations were handed over to the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology for analy- sis. After their analysis majority of them appeared to be of cobras. In January, 1981, I submitted my dissertation to the Board of Graduate Students. Few days later I decided to return back to UAE to do more excavations at Jumarah site, which attributed to early Islamic periods. When I arrived in Dubai, I decided to visit the Mound of Serpents, the two settlements and other sites were we worked. To my great surprise, I found all of those sites turned into buildings, streets and roundabouts... What a day and what a surprise….

The study, published by scientists from the University of Chicago March 13 in PLOS Computational Biology, confirmed the dramatic effect of diagnostic standards, reported Science Daily.

By Natasha Baker

ashionistas envious of cloth- ing, shoes and accessories worn by strangers or seen on Fwebsites can turn to new apps for hassle-free shopping to find, and buy or rent, similar items. Like the music app Shazam, which identifies songs based on sound clips, new fashion apps use photos and image recognition technology to find similar clothing. “People see items they like on the street but can’t really go up to the person wearing them and ask where they got them,” said Daniela Cecilio, the chief executive of London-based startup Asap54. “Or they might see items they like on Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook or Twitter, but can’t really click through to buy them,” she added, referring to the social media websites. With the Asap54 app for iPhone, which was launched last month, users take a photo of an item, or upload an existing one, and describe what it is to help the app identify it.

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.
