Awareness and Ribbons' Concept

While writing an article related to the pink ribbon, a question arose in my mind. What is the link between ribbons and awareness? These days many ribbons are recognized to us in daily life. So i thought to jot down some points on it.

I think, it's a beautiful way of reminding things which are important to keep in minds. Generally these ribbons are linked to the different diseases like cancers and often these ribbons have been a symbol of many movements.

First of all we shall talk about Cancer Ribbons.

Pink: Pink ribbon is dedicated to the breast cancer awareness, showing a delicacy to feminism.

White: Linked to many health problems and specifically used for the awareness of bone cancers.

Gray: Stands for Brain cancer.

Blue: Symbol for colon and prostate cancer, while navy blue is linked to human trafficking and slavery.

Red: Red ribbon is the most popular ribbon these days, after all linked to the awareness program of current most dangerous ailment AIDS and HIV.

Yellow: Despite of being a symbol of endometriosis disease awareness, this one has a unique history. It's been a symbol of deployed Troops, linked to the suicide prevention and awareness.

Jade: Alertness for cancers of liver and hepatitis B.

Gold: Cancer in children and leukemia.

Grey: Diabetes and Asthma.

There are some other multicolored Ribbons too, which are not explained here. This is an extremely interesting concept of grasping things, and to jog your memory.

I think we first let them enjoy their childhood, let them develop in all directions. Give them some more years or going play group is sufficient. But the opinions vary here, and everyone has her view on this matter. Some parents don’t want to send them at an early age, but they have no choice. These days mostly schools are taking 3+ kids for nursery and 4+ kids for KG . There are also some schools that prefer to take 4+ kids for nursery or they start from KG classes. The education system is growing more complicated as they don’t focus on the abilities of child and parents. Strict criteria and some guidelines are put, and that’s all. The most painful thing is the distances between schools and homes, how our little buds ca...

Generation of Random amino acid protein sequences using Python/Bio-python

This program is about how to generate protein sequences (random sequences of 100amino acid) and these sequences should be stored in a database type file. The sequence analysis gave the bioscience researches a new direction. This project works for generating new sequences of proteins. These sequences might already exist in nature and having similarity with any organism. Through this software new random sequences may be generated and saved to a file on user’s machine. Saving to file helps to compare different sequences as well as the complete information may be placed at the same place. The Protein generation part is a simple program which takes in user input for number of random Protein Sequences to generate and filename/file-path. Based on these user inputs random Protein sequences are generate of 100 amino acid residues of type IUPACProtein. The sequences thus generated are saved to a file in the current directory by the name username.fasta in Fasta format. This program is in Python L...
