Wristband Sends Christian Message
Posted On: November 9, 2011 at 10:05 a.m.
Pensive about the freedom he has to practice any religion he chooses, one reporter sports a rubber wristband claiming a Christian message that his Islamic friends wouldn’t have the right to wear.
As reported on Crosswalk.com : “Last month an American soldier coming home from Afghanistan was seated next to me on a flight. He saw my "One With Them" rubber barbed-wire wristband that I was wearing in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Christ who share our faith, but not our freedom. I explained that the wristband is being worn by thousands in support of persecuted Christians around the world.
The soldier nodded as I spoke. He'd seen for himself during his tours of duty in Afghanistan that the country allowed no room for him to practice any faith but Islam. After the U.S. invasion, Afghan authorities added to the nation's flag the Islamic creed: "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger."
The U.S. State Department reports that in March 2010 Afghanistan's lone church structure was razed by the property owner. Today no public churches remain in Afghanistan. In the decade since the U.S. invasion more than 1,700 American military personnel have died in this South Asian country. U.S. taxpayers have funded some $440 billion to establish the new Afghanistan. Yet, "the [Afghan] courts consider all citizens to be Muslims by default," the State Department report said. "Conversion from Islam is considered apostasy and is punishable by death under some interpretations of Islamic law in the country." Afghanistan's media law prohibits publicizing and promoting religions other than Islam, the report said.”

Rubber Wristbands Not Allowed, Player Finds Alternate Way To Remember
Posted On: November 8, 2011 at 10:05 a.m.
For safety purposes, most basketball organizations do not allow jewelry to be worn during games, including rubber wristbands . One play, who typically honors his mother with a pink wristband is finding alternative ways of supporting her during games.
The Arizona Daily Star Star has recently reported this story. “During games, Kevin Parrom hasn't been able to wear the pink rubber wristband for breast cancer that he normally wears, but he said he'll come up with a way to honor his mother, Lisa Williams, tonight. He would not reveal it before the game, however.
The New York Post's Lenn Robbins has some more detail about Parrom's story, including how he rushed to the hospital when his mother stopped breathing during a trip home to identify the suspect, and that his older brother is incarcerated for narcotics possession.
ESPN's Dana O'Neil details the entire story on what Parrom has been through.”

Personal Trainer, In A Wristband?
Posted On: November 7, 2011 at 10:05 a.m.
Well, it sounds nice to have our own personal trainer. Most of us need the encouragement and advice to keep us in good physical shape. Unfortunately, most of us aren’t willing to pay the high fees they usually require. A Bluetooth company, known as Jawbone, has developed a different kind of personal trainer, though, one in the form of a rubber wristband .
As reported by Economic Times , “Jawbone, the maker of sleek Bluetooth earpieces and colourful wireless portable speakers, now offers a product that monitors your activity and sleep, and, by confronting you with a visual record of your habits, inspires you to work harder.
This isn't a new idea. The active ingredient is the same one found in gadgets like the Nike+iPod. If you conscientiously wear these devices, they work. The simple act of monitoring your own behavior inevitably encourages you — to climb more stairs, park farther away and bike instead of drive.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
The Up bracelet tries to improve on earlier devices in two important ways. First, its textured rubber exterior, available in a variety of colours and wrist sizes, is waterproof up to three feet. You can wear the band 24/7, even when you swim or take a shower.
Second, the Up band uses an iPhone app as its brains and screen. Brilliant! You're already carrying around a computer with a colourful touch screen; why shouldn't it work with your glorified pedometer?
THE INNER WORKINGS
The band contains a metal spine; it's flexible but always returns to its closed oval shape when you let go. On one end, there's a clickable metal button and a couple of tiny indicator lights.
On the other, a tiny removable cap conceals the Up's connector to your iPhone: a headphone jack. Yes, that's right: the Up band connects to your iPhone through its headphone jack. That's both its most ingenious idea and its most idiotic.”
Do you think a rubber wristband could improve your health? Why or why not?

Wristband Company Learned From Steve Jobs
Posted On: November 6, 2011 at 10:05 a.m.
Every startup company has its history. One company, which has now sold millions of ear buds and is on the verge of announcing a new health monitor rubber wristband , learned how to succeed by being reprimanded from the late Steve Jobs.
According to SFGate.com : “Hosain Rahman met Steve Jobs in 2004; it did not go well.
Rahman's 5-year-old startup, Aliph, was about to begin selling headsets for mobile phones, and one of his investors had arranged for him to show Jobs his first creation, a stylish earpiece connected to a phone with a thick cord.
Jobs hated it. In an hour-long session in Apple's offices, Jobs intuitively exposed every shortcut the company had taken. "It was a shellacking," Rahman said. "It was one of the most painful and formative experiences of my life."
Rahman says that conversation was a turning point for the company now known as Jawbone. After that meeting, the San Francisco company began work on an updated device and has now sold 10 million Bluetooth earpieces, making it one of the largest makers of headsets in the world.
Jawbone also has begun positioning itself in a very Apple-like way, as a maker of consumer products that combine intricately designed hardware and easy-to-use software. Last year, Jawbone introduced a well-regarded wireless speaker, called the Jambox. And on Sunday it will begin selling UP, a sensor-laden wristband that connects wirelessly to a mobile phone and tracks elements of the wearer's health, such as sleep patterns and physical activity.”
