Ribbon Lapel Pins Show Support for Important Causes

by Caryn Smith

Colors send distinct messages. Subconsciously, we've been trained to respond in a variety of ways to practically every color of the rainbow. For instance, green is almost always associated with "go" (green lights), the coming of spring as well as freshness and also trust. Orange, according to color psychologists, denotes energy and enthusiasm. This is probably why the champions of causes chose to use colored ribbons when supporting their beliefs.

As far back as 1917, singer/songwriter George Norton penned the song, "'Round Her Neck She Wears A Yellow Ribbon." A revised version was later used in the movie "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon." The words recount the tale of a young girl waiting for the return of her love who was serving in the military. In 1979, yellow ribbons saw resurgence as Penne Laingen tied this symbol around her tree when her husband, US diplomat Bruce Laingen, was held captive during the Iran hostage crisis.

But yellow isn't the only symbol of hope. What's the first thought that comes to mind when you see a pink ribbon? Breast cancer. In 1992, at the hands of Self magazine editor Alexandra Penney and cosmetic giant Estee Lauder, the ribbon symbol was adopted as the icon for the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign. The color pink was chosen and the new emblem was quickly adopted by the American public.

There are others as well… many others. Red was chosen as the ribbon color for Aids awareness because it represents passion. Yellow was chosen for military support because it is the official color of the U.S. Calvary.

Ribbons or Lapel Pins

While many people actually purchase and cut pieces of ribbon to pin to their lapels, others have opted for a more convenient method. While cloth ribbons wear out quickly, purchasing custom ribbon lapel pins gives you a permanent piece of jewelry to wear repeatedly. Whichever option you choose, wearing awareness ribbons will show your support for immensely worthwhile causes.

Internationally - in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and other countries - ribbons have swept our awareness… just as they were meant to do. Here's a comprehensive list of ribbon colors and what the organizations/diseases represent.

RED: Aids Awareness

BLACK: Aids Remembrance or Mourning

PINK: Breast Cancer

YELLOW: Military Support

LIGHT BLUE: Prostate Cancer

TEAL: Ovarian Cancer

GOLD: Child Cancer

GREY: Diabetes or Brain Cancer

GREEN: Leukemia or Organ & Tissue Donor

LIGHT PURPLE: Lupus or Alzheimer's

PURPLE: Disabled Children, Domestic Violence, Religious Tolerance

DARK BLUE: Child Abuse, Crime Victim's Rights, Colon Cancer

WHITE: Gender Violence

ORANGE: Animal Protection

GREEN & BLUE: Mental Health Awareness

RED, WHITE & BLUE: Patriotism

JIGSAW PUZZLE: Autism

BURGUNDY: Brain Aneurysm, Hospice Care

LAVENDER: Cancer Awareness

PERIWINKLE: Eating Disorders

BROWN: Anti-Tobacco

LACE: Osteoporosis

PINK & BLUE: Miscarriage, Infant Death

Do you know someone who suffers from a disease or condition? Are you holding a rally or charity event to raise money for research? Would you like to show your support of others? Schools, businesses, organizations and individuals are all joining forces to show the world what they believe in by wearing ribbon lapel pins. Won't you join them?

Buying a Guide to Fix PS3 Yellow Light of Death - What to Look For in a PS3 Repair Guide?

  PS3 yellow light of death is a problem with the PlayStation 3 that has been increasingly growing since the last six months. If we check up Google Trends for these keywords along with other prominent PS3 problems like PS3 flashing red light, we find a consistent increase in the curve.

If your PS3 is in the warranty period, read no more. Pick up the phone and contact Sony as soon as possible. Take their support and get it fixed. But if your warranty has expired, you can still contact Sony and get help from them. However, with Sony charging around 150$ and taking up to a month to fix this problem, seeking help from Sony does not seem like public favorite anymore. Not to mention, that there is no guarantee whether we will get back the data that was there on our PS3 hard disk.

For the last couple of months, the PS3 yellow light problem AKA 'PS3 Yellow Light of Death' has become quite common among hardcore PS3 gamers and experts. Unlike the past, many of them are able to handle the so called PS3 yellow light of death and fix it in no time, not only for themselves but for their friends as well.

So, were these guys born experts? Did they work for Sony? The answer is NO. They were just beginners with no idea about how to fix problems like the "PS3 yellow light of death", "PS3 flashing red light" or other "PS3 error codes". When they faced such problems they turned to several guides available out there that taught them how to fix these. These guides are written in such a way that even someone who is not an expert can easily comprehend what is to be done. Not to mention the video instructions that they offer these days along with 24x7 support.

But there are so many guides available out there. What do you look for when selecting a guide? Well, I have reviewed most guides available out there and compiled a list of some important points that you should look for before buying one. Some guides might have flashy websites and not include everything that they claim on their website, but you must always ensure that there is a money back guarantee to protect yourself! The good products are usually so sure of themselves that they go ahead and give you a money back guarantee.

So here is a list of points that you may want to look for before buying a PS3 yellow light of death guide:

1. The level of detail and presentation: Look for what all is included in the guide. Does it have images, videos, step by step instructions? Videos and images supported by instructions are very important as we are beginners. If the instructions refer to specific jargon in the PS3 world, we would not know it. So we need images and videos to support these instructions.

2. Kinds of errors that are covered: There are several errors like PS3 Yellow Light of Death, PS3 Red Light of Death, PS3 Green Light, Disk Read Errors, etc. Have a look at what all errors are covered. Is it what you want?

3. Support: Not all vendors and guides include personal support. Although it is online support, it is quite useful. Make sure that this is included in your package. This means, that they are ready to help you out in case you hit a rough spot. There is no point getting the guide and realizing that you are just not able to open your console up.

There are way too many guides out there and it can be difficult to pick one that is worth your money. I have reviewed the top guides available in the market today and put up a comparison on my blog. Have a look at my blog to learn more about these guides, their features and which one is the best.

  Here is a great guide to help you fix your Playstation 3 Problems.
