2 Related Work My original idea was to make a mobile monitoring device that made inferences on a person’s physical behavior, and could give advice on how they could potential lead healthier and happier lives. At the start of my research I was interested in articles about mobile devices such as BeWell[1], which is a smartphone application to monitor and promote wellbeing. It kept track of people’s everyday social, physical, and mental behaviors and provided useful feedback to improve their lives. However, after the development of my prototype, my ideas shifted, and I decided that instead of a general health monitoring mobile device, I would rather develop one specifically for the purposes of athletic training, and weight loss management.

The Location class[4] is a data class that represents a geographic location. It can consist of a longitude, latitude, timestamp, bearing, altitude, and velocity. The LocationManager[5] class provides access to the system location services. These services allow applications to obtain periodic updates of the device's geographical location. LocationListener[6] is an interface Used for receiving notifications from the LocationManager when the location has changed. These methods are called if the LocationListener has been registered with the location manager service using the requestLocationUpdates(String provider, long minTime, float minDistance, LocationListener listener) method. The provider parameter is the name of the provider with which to register. There are two different providers offered, the GPS or network provider. In my application I use the GPS provider which determines the location using satellites. The minTime is minimum time interval between location updates, in milliseconds, the minDistance is the minimum distance between location updates in meters, and the listener parameter is the LocationListener whose onLocationChanged(Location) method will be called for each location

I am a plate that is made of clay that was taken from the Earth of Japan. But before I was made into a plate I was up to the mountains near a big forest that had a Jinja on top a beautiful waterfall where water fell from the top to the bottom and sometimes flowing to rivers. But when winter comes the waterfall would freeze into shards and when the winter goes the shards and snow turn into water filling up the waterfall making a waterfall from the top to the bottom flowing with an immense amount of water to rivers and ponds that would sometimes connect with the waterfall. My maker crafted me to be used as art depicting many natural objects or buildings even sometimes people in the drawing. I am also used to hold a meal for a person who would eat the nourishment from top to bottom. Most of the time I would have fish from the ocean or rice that was farmed in flatlands on top of me.
The attacks targets the routing information which is being exchanged among nodes. The data in the table is altered and attacker then attracts or repel network traffic, generate false error messages, increase latency or even partition the network. The next node generally depends on the previous node(s) table to create routing paths.
As with the introduction 10 GE, there came some issues that would arise for a variety of reason. The standards were in ally developed to alleviate bottleneck on large networks, and though it can complete such a task, it still faces issues in proper deployment and efficiently transferring data between networks.
My fitness pal has been successfully in providing feedback for users to keep track of their calorie intake and fitness level. The app is very beneficial in behavior change for the user to record his or her food intake consumed and achieve weight loss. The app is definitely recommended for users who prefer to consume healthy foods and do exercise regularly to enhance a healthy lifestyle. A few years ago, my friend suffers from the cardiovascular disease and has tried several diets to help lose weight, but did not achieve a better outcome. She wanted to consult a nutritionist who can give tips on meal planning and exercising. She told her nutritionist that is ready to take 30-day workout challenge. During the action phase, she started participating in an exercise program while using the app. She does regularly exercise at least 3-4 times a week and keep track to see how many calories burned. After doing a 30-day workout, my friend (user) has lost ten pounds, which made her feel confident and energized. The app has motivated her to make smart healthy foods and continue fitness journey
1. Hornick role as a giver as described in Give and Take by Adam Grant is that he is less concerned about how something will profit him directly and more concerned about giving away his time and knowledge to help the people that he is working with.

Raise your hand if you’re one of 44% of Americans that sleep next to their phones at every night. It’s true, so many of us are dependent on our mobile devices, that psychologists are now calling it the “Invisible Addiction”! Since its invention critics have debated every inch of the cell phone. From its usefulness and size, to its effects on health after prolonged usage. The conversation has since shifted. The cell phone market today is flooded with a plethora devices to choose from, sporting top of the line materials and industry leading software, but this just scratches the surface. With over 968 million worldwide smartphone sales in 2013, consumers are feeding into the latest technology that the market has to offer. Though they may become

Many are wondering how these devices can be anything other than a fashion trend. The wearable technology revolution is much more than a way to access your cellular device or computer right at your wrist or eye glasses, it can also be beneficial when it comes to health of the elderly.

Wearable technology comes in to play a vital role because they can help monitor the patient and can also have alarms installed in them that can prevent medical emergencies (Apex, 2013). In some hospitals they have used a Spanish inventio...
There are already several wearable devices available in the market, mainly divided into two kinds. The health monitoring wristband, such as UP by Jawbone, Fitbit Flex, Nike Fuelband, etc. provide real-time tracking of users’ movement, sleeping and calories consuming. Meanwhile, smartwatches, like Galaxy Gear from Samsung, are only provide basic watch functions and some basic control of few specific smartphones. With a return rate over 30% of Galaxy Gear [1], it is obvious that such so-called smartwatch cannot attract consumers as well. Here is the problem: these two kinds of devices are designed independently and customers are tired of having so many devices on their wrists. Besides, relatively high prices (about 100 USD) prevent lots of potential consumers from purchasing a single function wristband only for health. People also complain the terrible battery life and simple function of smartwatch.
Cell phones have changed from an item of luxury to an everyday necessity for some people. Twenty five years ago, a phone was just a way to contact someone.

Today it has many other uses. Cell phones are used for games, calculators, texting, calendars, social sites, and pictures. In addition, there are many apps that one can download on a phone. Mobile phones help us keep track of our lives.
Fitbit will face challenges if they do not develop upgraded features. The current Fitbit helps consumers track steps, active minutes, sleep tracking, continuous heart rate, and the list goes on. These technologies appealed to consumers (Case Exhibit 2), and it showed Fitbit how people reacted positively to the new features, like the longer battery life. Nevertheless, competition is following along and the technology is not as rare anymore, so Fitbit can be easily substituted. Since Fitbit is already a known high-quality brand, they should take advantage of providing more useful features. Their open API (Case exhibit 1) should allow them to continue increasing partnerships with software providers and upgrade the Fitbit to have
