A wireless device operates in a first mode in which the device can send data to and receive data from an access point. One exercise device described is an inelastic resistance device having a combination grip that includes hand grips and a loop. In one embodiment, a particular bingo pattern achieved in a bingo game is associated with an initial index value. The first cladding has a depressed refractive index to improve high-order mode bending losses without incurring significant fundamental mode bending losses. A method of manufacturing the reinforced object comprises steps of: providing a mold; and positioning the at least one reinforcing rod such that it is positioned on or within the at least one structural layer in the reinforced object formed in the mold.
