Just a question, what is the significance of the black straps around the arms?
And also, the black block that is placed on the forehead?

I can give you the answer which i know, but i'll leave it for the experts to fill in the blanks:
Inside the box is the shema. It is placed over teh prefrontal lobe area because it is suggested that is where the sould presides. We know that in science that is our morality center. It is placed in this area to keep Gd in mind. The other one is placed on the left bicep facing the heart..so that we have Gd in our hearts all the time. The strap goes around the forearm 7 times (i guess for the 7 days of the week or 7 days of creation). then on the hand, we spell Gd's name (shin dalet yud) pronounced Sh-hdai.

Shema Yisrael Ad-nai elokaynu ad-nai ekhad
"Hear O' Israel the Lord our Gd the Lord is one"
and then there is more to it after that.
