Desserts to try when you’re bored
Apple pie
An apple pie is a pie in which the principal filling ingredient is apple. It is often served with whipped cream, ice cream (“apple pie à la mode”), or cheddar cheese.[3] It is generally double-crusted, with pastry both above and below the filling; the upper crust may be solid or latticed (woven of crosswise strips). The bottom crust may be baked separately (“blind”) to prevent it from getting soggy.[4] Deep-dish apple pie often has a top crust only and tarte Tatin is baked with the crust on top, but served with it on the bottom.
Apple pie is an unofficial symbol of the United States and one of its signature comfort foods.[5]
Cake
Cake is a form of sweet food made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients, that is usually baked. In their oldest forms, cakes were modifications of bread, but cakes now cover a wide range of preparations that can be simple or elaborate, and that share features with other desserts such as pastries, meringues, custards, and pies.
The most commonly used cake ingredients include flour, sugar, eggs, butter or oil or margarine, a liquid, and leavening agents, such as baking soda or baking powder. Common additional ingredients and flavourings include dried, candied, or fresh fruit, nuts, cocoa, and extracts such as vanilla, with numerous substitutions for the primary ingredients. Cakes can also be filled with fruit preserves, nuts or dessert sauces (like pastry cream), iced with buttercream or other icings, and decorated with marzipan, piped borders, or candied fruit.[1]
Cake is often served as a celebratory dish on ceremonial occasions, such as weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. There are countless cake recipes; some are bread-like, some are rich and elaborate, and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified so that even the most amateur of cooks may bake a cake.
S'mores
A s’more is a campfire treat popular in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, consisting of one or more toasted marshmallows and a layer of chocolate placed between two pieces of graham cracker or cookie.

Pathophysiology Facts
Atrophy - decrease in cell size. If atrophy affects a sufficient number of cells, the affected organ shrinks in size and is considered to be atrophic.
Hypertrophy - is a compensatory increase in the size of cells, occurring in response to mechanical load or stress, and results in increased size of the affected organ.
Hyperplasia - is an increase in the number of cells, resulting from an increased rate of cellular division. As a response to injury, hyperplasia occurs when the damage is severe or prolonged or when it results in cell death.
Dysplasia - or deranged cellular growth, is not considered a true cellular adaption but rather atypical hyperplasia. Dysplasia refers to abnormal changes in the size, shape, and organization of mature cells.
Metaplasia - reversible replacement of one mature cell type by another, less mature cell type or change in cell phenotype. Found in association with tissue damage, repair, and regeneration. It is thought to develop as an adaptive response wherein the new cell type may be better suited to withstand an adverse environment. Usually, however, the change is not beneficial.
Blunt Force Injuries -
Mechanical injury to body resulting in tearing, shearing, or crushing; most common type of injury seen in healthcare settings; caused by blows to impacts; motor vehicle accidents and falls most common cause.
- Contusion (bruise): bleeding into skin or underlying tissue.
- Hematoma: collection of blood in soft tissue.
- Laceration: tear or rip resulting when senile strength of skin or tissue is exceeded; is ragged and irregular with abraded edges.
- Fracture: blunt force blows or impacts can cause bone to break or shatter.
Sharp-Force Injuries -
Cutting and piercing injuries accounted for 2734 deaths in 2007; men have a higher rate compared to women.
- Incised wound: a wound that is longer than it is deep, wound can be straight or jagged with sharp, distinct edges without abrasion; usually produces significant external bleeding with little internal hemorrhaging.
- Stab wound: A penetrating sharp force injury that is deeper than it is long; if a sharp instrument is used, depths of wound are clean and distinct but can be abraded if object is inserted deeply and wider portion impacts skin; depending on size and location of wound, external bleeding may be surprisingly small.
- Puncture wound: instrument or objects with sharp points but without sharp edges produce puncture wounds; classic example is wound of foot after stepping on a nail; wounds are prone to infect, have abrasion of edges, and can be very deep.
GAS involves three successive stages: the alarm, the resistance or adaption, and the exhaustion stages.
- Alarm Stage - is the emergency reaction that prepare the body to fight or flee from threat (fight or flight). This stage involves the secretion of hormones and catecholamines to support metabolic/physiologic activity and boost the immune system to thwart infection and disease.
- Resistance or Adaption Stage - requires continued mobilization of the body’s resources to cope and overcome a sustained challenge.
- Exhaustion Stage - occurs when the body’s physiologic and immune systems no longer effectively cope with the stressor and marks the onset of diseases (diseases of adaption).

um, maybe me freaking out
also, using html and bbcode together was…so annoying. Like, I didn’t know how the code was being read. everytime I used bbcode, the html assumed I was done with that block of code or something–
and how do you make a table? like
with the pretty padding and stuff?? I can’t find the code anywhere on google 
also, most of the css/html code I tried to use to make a table didn’t work–
neither did trying to insert images-- every time there was a new anchor, the image sorta didn’t work?? idk what I’m talking about, either, because…Idk.

Well, I welcome questions at any time as long as it helps the person learn.
Don’t worry about spans for now. We’ll be covering them really soon.
Like just putting the image url by itself?
This looks like markdown to me. It… works when I quote it? I’m not too familiar with markdown.
I think you’re missing the space after the hashtag.
Yes, there is. I’ll go over it in the next unit/assignment, so hang tight and wait until then.

REASONS YOU SHOULD WATCH HAIKYUU
table of contents
the characters
Haikyuu!! has a ton of characters. There are twelve players just on the main team, most of whom get regular screentime, plus two managers, their coach, and a faculty advisor. But then they need teams to play against, and all of those teams have seven regular players, all named. Add in other coaches and managers, family, friends, and alumni and you have a huge cast to work with.
But if you ask the fandom who their favorite characters are, you’ll get a ton of different answers, and you’ll hear every character in the series at least once. Most of them are fleshed out with little quirks to set them apart from the rest, and every single one of them is likeable and fun. There is no character in this series who I don’t like, not even the ones you’re supposed to hate. The great thing about sports anime is that the antagonists aren’t really villains, they’re just other kids trying to win the game, and as a result they’re just as, if not more loveable than the protagonists.
The characters also bounce off each other really well, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a relationship dynamic that isn’t fun to watch or think about.
character development
No one wants to see their favorite characters lose, but in Haikyuu!!, losing brings with it the satisfaction of seeing them get back up again, stronger than they were before. The characters ask for and receive help from their friends, change the way they think about their situation, use the play styles of their opponents as inspiration, and just work really, really hard, and you find yourself looking forward to the little training-camp filler arcs just to see what they’ll learn that’ll pay off in the next match.
And they don’t just grow as athletes, either; they grow as people. They learn that it’s not a sign of weakness to care, that you can trust other people, that inherent talent doesn’t mean much without hard work to back it up, that you can always take that first step to improving yourself, the list goes on and on. As someone who started watching this series as a freshman in high school and essentially grew up with them, watching these characters grow is an absolute delight, and it’s by far the best part of the series.
the atmosphere
This show is a lot of things, but most of all, it’s positive and inspiring. You will feel better about yourself after you watch it, and that is non-negotiable. Even during its most heartbreaking scenes, there’s always a way to look up and keep going, no matter what, and seeing these incredibly relatable characters succeed makes you believe that you can do that, too. You might cry like I did, but I can promise that the majority of the tears are happy ones, and the time you spend tearing up will be miniscule in comparison to the time you spend smiling so hard your face hurts.

Jeremy then starts a relationship with a vampire named Anna, but John Gilbert, Jeremy’s uncle, kills Anna at the end of season one. Jeremy tries to become a vampire by overdosing while having Anna's blood in his system, but he fails. He was later given John's ring, which protects him from a death caused by anything supernatural. In season two, Jeremy falls in love with Bonnie Bennett and they start a relationship. Jeremy later loses both his aunt and uncle on the day of the sacrifice, leaving Elena and himself without a guardian. In the season two finale, Jeremy was accidentally shot to death by Sheriff Forbes, but Bonnie was able to bring him back.

@astrophile I honestly have a hard time understanding this week’s anchor stuff, Lumi. But I’m going to take the chance and try to do the assignment anyway. All I risk is failure…
Neil Gaiman’s Top 13 Writing Tips
1. Use lies to communicate truths
2. Acknowledge your growth areas
3. Start a compost heap
4. Reveal a little too much of yourself
5. Pay attention to the strangeness of humanity
1. Use lies to communicate truths:
Fiction stories are one of the most interesting phenomena that human beings have…Stories are part of us, and we convey truth with stories, which is fundamentally the most gloriously giant contradiction that you can ever imagine. What we’re saying is, we are using lies, we’re using memorable lies, we are taking people who do not exist and things that did not happen to those people in places that aren’t, and we are using those things to communicate true things to kids and to each other.” -Neil GaimanFor example, he wrote the novel Neverwhere to discuss homelessness and explore the stories of people who fall through the cracks in society. He essentially used the novel as his Trojan horse to communicate the concept.
“If I sat down and said I’m writing a big book on homelessness, the only people who would pick it up and read it would be people interested in a book about homelessness,” says Gaiman. “What I want to do here is write a book about living in a big city. I want to write an adventure, but I want to write an adventure which when people finish reading that story…they’re going to look at the people sleeping in the shop doorways, they’re going to look at these people and they aren’t gonna pretend they’re invisible.”
2. Acknowledge your growth areas:
The hardest time for me was starting out as a very, very young writer. I wrote short stories and sent them out to places that could conceivably publish them, and they all came back. And I looked at the stories which went out and came back and went out and came back, and I thought, ‘Okay, well one of two things is true here. Either I’m not good enough or I don’t understand the world, there’s stuff I don’t get, there’s stuff I need to know.’” -Neil GaimanJust like every other writer, Gaiman experienced a lot of rejection early in his career. He used that rejection to learn how he needed to improve.
Gaiman learned how to write stronger conflict into his stories, how to create characters that were more vulnerable and authentic, and how to craft stories that made readers keep turning the page.
Everyone has skills gaps. You must learn your gaps before you can fill them, and rejection is a great (albeit painful) way to identify those gaps.
3. Start a compost heap:
“I think it’s really important for a writer to have a compost heap. Everything you read, things that you write, things that you listen to, people you encounter — they can all go on the compost heap, and they will rot down, and out of them grow beautiful stories.” -Neil GaimanEvery successful author, musician, and artist has received questions like “What are your biggest influences?” and “Where do you find inspiration?”
Gaiman says that much of his creative inspiration has come from outside the world of writing. He credits musicians Lou Reed and David Bowie as two of the biggest influences upon his work, and he says that anything can be used as inspiration for writing.
Everything you encounter in life has the potential to influence your work: overheard dialogue in a coffee shop, that song on the radio you can’t get out of your head, the television scene that perfectly depicts the sexual tension of a first date. Don’t limit yourself to only the influences in your genre. Drink from a wide-brimmed glass of creative inspiration.
4. Reveal a little too much of yourself:
“I wasn’t really prepared to say anything true about who I was. I didn’t want to be judged. I didn’t want people reading any of my stories to know who I was or what I thought or to get in too close. And I realized that if you’re going to write…you had to be willing to do the equivalent of walking down a street naked. You had to be able to show too much of yourself. You had to be just a little bit more honest than you were comfortable with.” -Neil GaimanIf you’ve never read Neil Gaiman before, many of his books could be described as…weird. His book American Gods pits old-world mythological gods like Odin and Loki against new-world “gods” like technology and television. Anansi Boys tells the story of a man finding out his dead father was an incarnation of the spider god Anansi.
When he started out as a young writer, Gaiman worried that the types of stories he wanted to tell would give strangers too much of a view into his soul. Then he realized that’s exactly what readers wanted to see: they wanted him to spill his authentic self onto the page. Once he began doing that, he gained more readers.
Every story contains a snapshot of its creator. Are you refusing to pose for that picture? Give your readers what they want: a story with personality and authenticity.
5. Pay attention to the strangeness of humanity:
“People are so much more interesting and strange and more unlikely than anything you could make up.” -Neil GaimanWhen I watch MasterClasses, I take copious notes. As I was writing the above quote while watching Gaiman’s MasterClass, I looked out the window and watched a teenager in a fluorescent yellow jacket ride past on a black unicycle. (I swear to God, I did.)
Gaiman says, “Every little detail that you can steal from the world and smuggle with you into your fiction is something that makes your world more real for your reader.”
Strange people and stories are all around you. You just need to take the time to look for them. Great characters and stories are borne from true characters and true stories.
