A wristband is a piece of clothing, plastic, metal or other material that is worn around the wrist of a person.
There are different types of wristband such as those on watches and on the ends of the sleeves of a piece of clothing.
Other types are the awareness bands and security bands used for music concerts and school dances.
Types of wristbands
Watch wristbands
There are many different types of wristband.
Watches have wristbands that are often made of metal, plastic or leather.
A metal wristband on a watch is often called a bracelet.
A plastic or leather wristband on a watch is often called a .
Sports wristbands
In 2009 a new Sweatband was invented, primarily designed for runners, called a sQoosh® band.
This groundbreaking design completely changed the look of sweatbands.
Worn on the hand to precisely wipe sweat from the eyes and face, these bands join moisture wicking material to stretch terry cloth.
sQoosh brands revolutionized the old-fashioned sweatband market with a new favorite for runners in the 21st century.
Similarly designed hand-sweatbands started appearing on the market in 2012.
Awareness wristbands
Charities and awareness organizations often make wristbands that are sold to people so that the money can help people who are sick or need other help, and to help other people learn about their charity or awareness organization.
Some bands are those made for; Make Poverty History, Anti-bullying, disease awareness charities and to help people learn about religions (such as the Jesus Loves Me band).
These bands are often made of plastic or silicone.
The making of some of these bands has been in the news as some were made in sweatshops in China and poor countries.
This is said to be very bad because these wristbands are made to help people and charities and by being made in these sweatshops they have hurt the people making them because these places are often not safe, and the people working in them do not get paid much money for work they do.
Awareness wristbands were first started by the Lance Armstrong charity Livestrong (see Other websites) in 2003.
Types of awareness bands
yellow: Support Our Troops (also in camouflage green)
Blue: Anti-bullying, anti-Bush vote, tsunami relief, prostate cancer
Pink: Breast cancer
Red: Heart-disease, vote Bush, anti-tobacco, HIV
Purple: Cystic fibrosis, lupus (also orange), domestic violence
White: Jesus Loves Me, right to life
Orange: Asperger's, self-harm
Grey: Diabetes, brain cancer
Black & white: Anti-Racism in football games
Green: Ecology, leukaemia, organ donor
Gold: Childhood cancer
Black:  or melanoma - also known as skin cancer
Security wristbands
Wristbands are often used at music events like concerts and sports event to show that the person wearing them has paid to be there.
Some events let people leave and return during the event.
Security wristbands allow the person to come back in to the event after they have given their ticket to the staff the first time they entered.
Child safety
Sometimes safety wristbands have been used to give to both a parent and child to make sure that only the parent can take the child home from an event.
Both of their wristbands have the same number on them and this stops someone else from taking the child.
Identification wristbands
Alcohol wristbands

Doutzen Kroes (Pronounced Dow-tsen Croos) (born 23 January 1985 in Eastermar, Friesland) is a Dutch-Frisian model who has become internationally famous.
In the Netherlands she is not only famous as a model, but also for her support for the Frisian language which is her first language.
After she had finished school Doutzen sent a few holiday photos to a model agency Paparazzi in Amsterdam.
She hoped she would be able to earn a little extra money.
To her amazement she was so successful that in two years she had become a top model.
In 2005, Kroes was selected as "Model of The Year" on Vogue.com by readers and was featured as a supermodel on the cover of the May 2007 issue.
Along with several of these models, she appeared in the 2008 Pirelli calendar.
Doutzen appears in shows for Versace and Dolce & Gabbana and has a contract with the cosmetic firm L'Oréal.
This contract made her the highest paid Dutch model ever.
In November 2007 she became one of Victoria's Secret angels.
Doutzen’s first language is Frisian.
She is very active in the campaign "Praat mar Frysk" ("Let’s speak Frisian") which helps to make the Frisian language popular.
She earned a Frisian Press Prize for this work in December 2007.
On 28 April 2008, Madame Tussauds added a wax model of Doutzen to the exhibition.
The skirt she is wearing is said to be her favourite skirt.
It is designed by Roberto Cavalli.
In 2010 she married Sunnery James a DJ.
Their first child, Phyllon, was born in January 2011.
Their second child, a girl, was born in 2014.

A sweatshop is a place where people work, that is very crowded, where the work is very hard and the place is not safe to work in.
Many sweatshops are in poor countries but sweatshops are also found in rich countries, where they often have people who are new to the country working in them, or people who are not legal residents.
The amount of money people are paid in sweatshops is lower than the amount paid to workers in a richer country, but is often higher than the worker would earn in their old jobs on farms, or working in manual labour.
Children may also work in sweatshops.
People in sweatshops often make clothes and shoes.
Awareness wristbands for charities have also been made by sweatshops.

It started in 1964 and is now very famous because only a few calendars are published each year, and these are given to important people (VIPs) and Pirelli customers.
The calendars have photographs of female models including nudes.
After 1974 publication of the calendar was stopped because there was not enough money after the oil crisis.
Ten years later it was started again and has been published regularly ever since.
Many famous models have been photographed for the calendar including: Sienna Miller, Naomi Campbell, Gisele Bündchen, Sonny Freeman Drane, Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, Selma Blair, Lauren Bush, Elsa Benitez, Laetitia Casta, Rachael Leigh Cook, Milla Jovovich, Doutzen Kroes, Heidi Klum, Sophia Loren, Penélope Cruz, Brittany Murphy,  Amy Smart, Julia Stiles, Karolina Kurkova, Caroline Trentini, Raica Oliveira, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Bridget Moynahan, Shannyn Sossamon, Mena Suvari, Monet Mazur, Aurelie Claudel, Fernanda Tavares, Isabeli Fontana, Frankie Rayder, Angela Lindvall, Hilary Swank and Yamila Díaz.

Bullying is repeatedly hurting or intimidating specific people who are considered weaker.
The people who bully other people are called bullies.
Anybody can be bullied, even a group of people.
There are many different kinds of bullying.
Bullying does not always mean hitting people.
It can also be things that people say or do.
Bullying includes when people see what happens, but they don't do anything about it.
When people who see bullying know what to do and they do it, they can help make a bad situation better.
School teachers and staff have tried to learn ways to stop bullying.
However, bullying can be easy to hide.
Some countries and regions have laws against it.
Bullying can happen almost anywhere.
This includes at school, at work, at home, and on the internet (cyber-bullying).
A goal is part of what makes bullying what it is.
There are many goals that bullies can have, including:
intimidating  (to scare) tactics
steamroller (determined) tactics
devaluing  (to insult) tactics
arm-twisting (threat or force) tactics
Bullying may be a mix of some of these tactics (ways of doing something).
For example, Lance Armstrong said, "Yes, I was a bully.
I was a bully in the sense that I tried to control the narrative and if I didn't like what someone said, I turned on them."
In other words, when someone said something that Armstrong didn't like, he "ran [them] over" and bullied them.
Bullying also includes using power or position in the wrong way.
This can mean making comments or threats about losing a job.
The person that is getting bullied then feels insecure (not sure) about themselves.
Culture of bullying
Bullying happens for a reason.
Most of the time, the bully is either not getting the attention they want or they are going through problems and want to get it through bullying.
Another reason could be that the person does not feel good about themselves, so they bully others to make themselves feel stronger.
Therefore, when the person wants to get attention and make others believe they are powerful, they may start saying mean things to other people or starting fights.
Bullying culture means, that it is normal to be bullied for the victim.
It is about the abuse of social powers.
The culture of bullying includes daily activities and the way people relate to each other.
A bullying culture emphasizes a win/lose way of thinking.
It also encourages domination and aggression.
Many people do not know how to deal with bullying.
In school, the first thing one should do is to tell an adult that they trust.
Someone who is bullied may want to keep friends around.
If a bully comes to you, try to stay calm and get away safely.
Some charities (groups made to help people) are made to fight bullying and to help the people who are bullied.
There are also laws against bullying in the UK, such as Section 89 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006.
Some cases of bullying have resulted in suicide.

Make Poverty History is a British and Irish campaign that wants to stop people from being poor and to help richer people learn about the poor people of the World.
The symbol of the campaign is a white "awareness wristband" made of cotton or silicone with the words written in dark black and the word 'poverty' written in light black (e.g.: 'MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY').

Saint James's Palace is a royal palace in the City of Westminster, in London.
It is between Pall Mall and The Mall, two streets in Central London, and opposite St James's Park.
It is a working royal palace, and it is not open to the public.
It was the most important home of the British royal family until Queen Victoria moved to Buckingham Palace in 1837.
Henry VIII built the palace in the early 1530s.
Charles I spent his last night here before his execution in 1649.

Parlophone Records is a German-British major record label, which began in Germany in 1896.
It is best known as one of the record labels who put out music by The Beatles in the 1960s.
Parlophone's L-shaped logo began as the logo of the German Lindstrom label, which became part of Parlophone.
The company became part of EMI in 1931, and was known at the time especially for jazz and comedy records.
They also issued records of "regional music", including works by Scottish and Latin recording artists.
George Martin, staff producer, sometimes travelled to Scotland to record popular artists there.
In 2012, Universal Music Group bought EMI (the owner of Parlophone), but Universal chose to sell Parlophone to Warner Music Group.
However, The Beatles’ catalogue still remains with UMG, through it’s Calderstone Productions label.
Fire-stick farming are words used by Australian archaeologist Rhys Jones in 1969.
They describe the way that Indigenous Australians used fire regularly to burn the land.
This helped hunting by herding the animals into particular areas, and also caused new grass to grow which attracted more animals.
Over many years it changed the types of plants and animals that lived in an area.
Fire-stick farming had turned scrub into grassland, which increased the numbers of grass eating animals such as the kangaroo.
Scientists say that the changes caused by fire-stick farming caused the extinction of the Australian megafauna.
In the forests, fire-stick farming opened up clear areas and let more plants grow at ground level.
This increased the number of animals that could feed on these plants, such as the herbivore marsupials.

Derek and Clive were a comedy character duo made up by Dudley Moore and Peter Cook.
They can be seen as more offensive version of the earlier characters Pete and Dud.
They used many swear words and worked as lavatory attendants.

Peter Cook (17 November 1937 – 9 January 1995) was a English satirist, writer, actor and comedian.
He was born in Torquay, Devon and became famous when he appeared in a stage show called Beyond the Fringe in 1960.
He later continued working with another star of Beyond the Fringe, Dudley Moore.
Two of the things they did together were Not Only... But Also and later Derek and Clive.
They also appeared in films like the original Bedazzled.
Cook later helped start the magazine Private Eye.
He also was involved with comedy performances for Amnesty International.
He died of liver disease in Hampstead, London.
He is still regarded as a major influence in British comedy.

The Miocene is the first epoch of the Neogene period and the fourth of the Cainozoic.
It started about 23 million years ago and ended about 5.33 million years ago.
The rock beds that mark the start and end are well known, but the exact dates of the start and end of the period are uncertain.
The biota becomes 'modern'.
The Miocene was named by Sir Charles Lyell.
Its name comes from the Greek words  (, “less”) and  (, “new”) and means "less recent", because it has 18% fewer modern sea invertebrates than the Pliocene.
As the earth cooled, it went from the Oligocene epoch, through the Miocene, and into the Pliocene.
The Miocene boundaries are not set at any particular world wide event.
They are set at regional boundaries between the warmer Oligocene and the cooler Pliocene epochs.
The plants and animals of the Miocene were fairly modern, but familiar present-day species had not yet evolve.
Modern families of mammals and birds existed.
Whales, seals, and kelp spread.
Modern sharks appeared, including the huge Megalodon.
Grasslands became more common.
Mammalian browsers became less common, and grazer species became more common.
About 100 species of ape lived at that time, and cetaceans were very common in the seas.
The giganic shark Carcharodon megalodon may have preyed on them.
The climate was warm in the Miocene, especially in the first half.
The diagram shows that throughout the Oligocene and the first half of the Miocene, climate remained warm.
This meant that Africa (and elsewhere) was much more forested than today, and that the herbivorous mammals were mainly browsers rather than grazers.
In the second half of the Miocene temperatures dropped, and grasslands began to expand.
Another great event, which undoubtedly affected climate, was the refilling of the Mediterranean basin.
The so-called Zanclean flood is thought to have refilled the Mediterranean Sea 5.33 million years ago.
This reconnected the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.
It is possible that even before the flood there were partial connections to the Atlantic Ocean.
According to this model, water from the Atlantic Ocean refilled the dried up basin through the modern-day Strait of Gibraltar.
The process took up to two years.
The Asterales are an order of flowering plants which include the composite family Asteraceae (sunflowers, daisies, thistles, etc.)
and its related families.
Alseuosmiaceae
Argophyllaceae
Asteraceae - Daisies
Calyceraceae
Campanulaceae (incl.
Lobeliaceae) - Bellflowers
Goodeniaceae (incl.
Brunoniaceae)
Menyanthaceae
Pentaphragmaceae
Phellinaceae
Rousseaceae (incl.
Carpodetaceae)
Stylidiaceae (also Donatiaceae)
The family Asteraceae or Compositae (the aster, daisy, or sunflower family) is the largest family of flowering plants.
It has the most species.
What looks like its flower is really made of  hundreds or thousands of tiny individual flowers.
The technical term for it is a pseudanthium ("false flower").
The driving force for the evolution of the Asteraceae was that the composite flowers look attractive to pollinating insects.
A large brightly coloured flower attracts insects.
The other quality insects like is the scent of the pollen and the sugary nectar in the flowers.
The asters are very successful (over 32,000 known species of flowering plants in over 1,900 genera in the order Asterales).
Their success is due to what they offer to visiting insects.
It is also due to their ability to grow almost anywhere, but especially on grass.
Heterocarpy, or amphicarpy, the ability of an annual species to produce different fruit morphs, is common in Asteraceae.
It allows seeds to be dispersed over varying distances, each type adapted to different environment.
This increases the chances of survival.
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is the military organisation responsible for the defence of Australia.
It is made up of the Royal Australian Navy, the Australian Army, the Royal Australian Air Force and a number of joint groups.
At first the Australian Government set up three separate armed services.
In 1976, the government decided to have a single military headquarters.
Over time, the three services have combined headquarters, logistics and training camps.
The ADF is small, but uses a lot of technology.
With 53,000 full-time active-duty service people and 20,000 part-time reserve forces, it is the largest military force in Oceania.
It is much smaller than most Asian military forces.
The ADF does not have enough people in some highly skilled areas, but it is still able to send forces in many regions outside Australia.

Car navigation allows an automobile driver to see where he or she is on a map at any given time.
Automobile navigation can rely on GPS (Global Positioning System), or it can be DVD- or data-based.
GPS-bsed navigation uses radio signals from special satellites that send their position and the time of transmission.
The GPS receiver catches the signal and calculates the time.
The GPS can then calculate the distance from the satellite with the well-known radio signal speed.
When driving a car with such a GPS receiver, the driver may receive information from a satellite which is above for instance Dover in the south and another one which is above Perth in the north.
Then the GPS receiver knows precisely how far it is from Dover and how far it is from Perth.
With that two possible positions of the car at the flat land are precisely determined.
To know which one of those positions is the right place, the GPS receiver needs a third satellite, for instance above Land's End in the west.
With that information, the GPS receiver can also determine elevation.
With three satellites in fact there is still a third possible point, but that is twice as high as the satellites above the earth's surface and does not need to be reckoned with in car travel.
But the GPS receiver still needs a fourth satellite, because the GPS receiver needs to know the time very precisely.
In between it knows your car position, so that it can calculate the distance from that satellite.
Then it knows the time of reception, because that is the time of transmission plus the travel time of the signal.
The GPS receiver
At any moment the GPS receiver searches for the strongest satellites, calculates the position and the driving direction and then shows it all on a small screen as a three-dimensional map.
With that it also shows the vehicle's driving speed and how far it is to the next junction.
The driver may add the address where he or she wants to go.
The GPS receiver then directs the driver to their destination step-by-step, often using voice prompts.
The driver can even be shown where there are traffic jams, speed cameras and traffic lights, and the route can be calculated in such a way that these can be avoided, reducing the time needed for the driver to reach his or her destination.
To show where the car is with the calculated position, the GPS receiver contains digital maps.
Many GPS receivers allow users to add more maps or newer maps to allow for better navigation.
Mobile phones are often equipped with GPS receivers, but most require a mobile Internet connection to function.
Nokia's HERE Maps are able to store maps for offline use, and because of this, phones that have this app installed can be used as GPS navigation systems as mentioned above.
WWE Extreme Rules is a yearly pay-per-view event from WWE.
The match during Extreme Rules pay-per-views usually center around hardcore wrestling.
The event was originally known as WWE One Night Stand from 2005 - 2008.
The 2005 and 2006 editions served as reunion events for Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW).
Official website of Extreme Rules
The event started as a pay-per-view under the name Vengeance in 2001, replacing Armageddon for that year due to the possible insensitivity of the latter's name with respect to the September 11 attacks.
In 2002, Vengeance took over Fully Loaded's pay-per-view spot.
The 2003 event was belonged to the SmackDown!
brand, while from 2004 to 2006, the events were Raw only.
In 2005, Vengeance was moved again, this time changing positions with The Great American Bash.
The 2007 event was named Vengeance: Night of Champions, as all nine WWE championships were defended that night.
In 2008, the event was renamed to Night of Champions, keeping the format of the 2007 event, but dropping the Vengeance name.
In 2009, the event was moved back to July.

A spiral is a special curve in mathematics.
This curve starts at a point, and then goes around the point, but gets farther and farther away from it.
This is different from a circle (which is always at the same distance or an ellipse.
A spiral is an "open" curve, unlike circles and ellipses which are closed curves.
Two-dimensional spirals
A two-dimensional spiral may be described most easily using polar coordinates.
There the radius r is a continuous monotonic function of angle θ (theta).
The circle would be regarded as a degenerate case.
With the circle, the function would not be  strictly monotonic, but constant.
The Archimedean spiral: r = a + bθ
The Euler spiral, Cornu spiral or clothoid
Fermat's spiral: r = θ1/2
The hyperbolic spiral: r = a/θ
The lituus: r = θ-1/2
The logarithmic spiral: r = abθ; approximations of this are found in nature
The Fibonacci spiral and golden spiral: special cases of the logarithmic spiral
The Spiral of Theodorus: an approximation of the Archimedean spiral composed of contiguous right triangles
Three-dimensional spirals
For simple 3-d spirals, a third variable, h (height), is also a continuous, monotonic function of θ.
For example, a conic helix may be defined as a spiral on a conic surface, with the distance to the apex an exponential function of θ.
In nature
The study of spirals in nature have a long history, Christopher Wren found out that many shells form a logarithmic spiral.
Jan Swammerdam observed the common mathematical characteristics of a wide range of shells from Helix to Spirula and Henry Nottidge Moseley described the mathematics of univalve shells.
D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson's On Growth and Form gives extensive treatment to these spirals.
He describes how shells are formed by rotating a closed curve around a fixed axis, the shape of the curve remains fixed but its size grows in a geometric progression.
In some shell such as Nautilus and ammonites the generating curve revolves in a plane pirpendicular to the axis and the shell will form a planer discoid shape.
In others it follows a skew path forming a helico-spiral pattern.
A model for the pattern of florets in the head of a sunflower was proposed by H Vogel.
This has the form
where  is the index number of the floret and  is a constant scaling factor, and is a form of Fermat's spiral.
The angle 137.5° is related to the golden ratio and gives a close packing of florets.
The spiral also represents infinity.
Starting at a single point, and revolving outwardly until the end of the universe.
Because of this, some civilizations believe that the Spiral is a pathway to the afterlife.
The spiral plays an important role in symbolism.
It appears in megalithic art, notably in the Newgrange tomb or in many Galician petroglyphs such as the one in Mogor.
See also triple spiral.
Scholars are still talking about the subject, but many of them now believe that the simple spiral in Chinese art may be a symbol of the sun.
Roof tiles from the Tang Dynasty with this symbol have been found west of the ancient city of Chang'an (modern-day Xian).
The spiral is the most ancient symbol found on every civilized continent.
Because it appears at burial sites across the globe, the spiral most likely represented the "life-death-rebirth" cycle.
Similarly, the spiral symbolized the sun, as ancient people thought the sun was born each morning, died each night, and was reborn the next morning.
Spirals are also a symbol of hypnosis.
This most likely comes from the cliché of people and cartoon characters being hypnotized by staring into a spinning spiral (One example being Kaa in Disney's The Jungle Book).
They are also used as a symbol of dizziness, where the eyes of a cartoon character, especially in anime and manga, will turn into spirals to show they are dizzy or dazed.
The spiral symbolizes the double helix structure of DNA, representing biological evolution, and the spiral structure of a galaxy.

Taupe refers to a dark grayish-brown color.
The word "taupe" derives from the Latin name for the European Mole, Talpa europaea.
Originally, this referred only to the average color of the French mole, but like the colors pink and lavender, the name expanded (in the case of taupe beginning in the 1940s) to encompass a wide range of varying shades.
It seems that this occurred because the color of the fur of the mole can itself be a wide range of shades, from gray through yellowish, brownish, and even purplish.
The first use of taupe as a color name in English was in the early 1800s (exact year is not known).
Meaning of taupe
The various shades of the color taupe are widely used in fashion, interior design, industrial design, and in graphic design where Pantone ink and RGB hexadecimal specifiers both describe the color as a warm gray.

The Victoria Cross (VC) is the highest military medal given for bravery "in the face of the enemy" to members of the defence forces of Commonwealth  countries, and former British Empire territories.
It is the most important medal, more important than all other orders, decorations and medals.
It may be given to a person of any rank in any  service (army, navy or air force) or anyone working for the military.
It is usually presented to the person, or a family member if they were killed, by the British monarch during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
It can be presented by the Governor-General for awards made by other Commonwealth countries.
It is the joint highest medal for bravery in the United Kingdom with the George Cross, which is for bravery not in the face of the enemy.
However, the VC is higher in the order of importance and would be worn first by a person who had been given both medals (which has not happened).
The VC was begun on 29 January 1856 by Queen Victoria for acts    of bravery during the Crimean War.
Since then, the medal has been given 1,356 times to 1,353 people.
Only 13 medals, nine to members of the British Army, and four to the Australian Army have been presented since the Second World War.

Much like Samus Aran from the Metroid series and Link from The Legend of Zelda (series) series, Pit did not talk much in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, either.
As part of changing the character, the designers of Super Smash Bros. Brawl saw it fit to change his character design (looks) by combining parts of his looks from the promotional artworks of both Kid Icarus titles with new ideas.
Pit now appears older than the child-age designs from older games and now has a more anime/manga-like appearance, although he still seems to have a childish voice in the Japanese version.
In The English version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he has a deeper-sounding teenaged voice.
Nintendo has described the redesign as "a giant leap forward in his evolution".
It is also said on the Smash Bros. Dojo that one of Pit's color changes is black, a "Fallen Angel color" choice.
This new look had became popular among most nintendo fans.
It will be used for the upcoming Kid Icarus Uprising.
