  Revised 3 Paragraphs The school to prison pipeline is a hostile social construct within our schools in which children of minority groups, the vast majority of those affected being BIPOC, are disproportionately targeted for disciplinary measures and treated like problems to be solved rather than children to be taught and nurtured. This system and behavior towards these students pushes them out of the education system and into incarceration and the prison industrial complex. While BIPOC children are the most affected by the school to prison pipeline, the effects also extend to LGBTQ+ students, and those with learning disabilities as well as other minority groups that could be seen as bad students. The institutional racism and bigotry within schools has made this system the norm and caused educators to react differently to these "problem students" due to inherent biases that have been institutionally instilled.  The creation of policies such as "zero tolerance" has g...

 Type one diabetics have a condition that causes their pancreas to stop producing a hormone known as insulin. Insulin is one of the hormones in the human body that lowers the sugar levels in the bloodstream and converts carbohydrates in food into energy that is usable by the body. Type one Diabetics instead get their insulin from artificial sources and inject it using a syringe or a portable IV device called an insulin pump.  The first types insulin designed to treat Type 1 Diabetics were pig, dog and cow insulin, it was difficult to extract and very expensive because of this. The scientist who discovered the method of extraction, Fredrick Banting, made the patent for the process free, but the process being as complicated as it was, still remained very expensive to obtain and sometimes caused allergic and immune reactions due to the insulin being from animals. Modern Type 1 Diabetics now get their insulin synthesized in laboratories on an industrial scale from genetically...

Types of Communication  Communication and design go hand in hand with each other. One must be able to successfully communicate their designs, and one must also be able to arrange their communications in a way that makes sense to the subject.  The most frequently used types of communication include, visual, audio, written, and verbal. The best of these can be argued to be audio communication. The distinct nature of audio as well as the accessibility of the format makes it readily available to almost anyone. Audio communication is also a time tested format and has been used for hundreds of years in one format or another. Humans have always tried to record, propagate, and disperse audio communications as they can be more easily transmitted than a combination of audio and video. From the phonograph, to radio, to more modern formats like the .mp3 or.wav files audio is an important cornerstone in communication. Another advantage of audio communication is that it can be consumed on i...
