Q: Steaks taste best if they're cooked at room temperature. Steaks that are cooked too cold tend to come out tough. Before you begin cooking, set the steak out in your kitchen. Leave it out between 30 minutes and an hour. You will need a pan big enough to hold your whole steak. You should also use a heavy-duty pan, preferably one with a non-stick coating. A griddle pan or skillet can also be used to cook a steak. A pan needs to get very hot to comfortably cook a steak. If you're cooking multiple steaks, and don't have a pan big enough to hold them all, do not squeeze all the steaks on the pan. Instead cook them one at a time.
A: Allow the steak to come to room temperature. Select the right frying pan.

Q: Now, this can be taken in any way that you like. You could buy merchandise, you could send them nice tweets on Twitter, and everything in between. You could also follow One Direction fan accounts on Instagram and the such, or set up a fan account yourself! Do whatever makes you feel comfortable, but no one will force you to prove to the entire world that you are a Directioner. Their names (and nicknames [in order from most to least popular]) are: Niall Horan (Nialler), Harry Styles (Harold, Hazza, H, Haz), Liam Payne (Payno, Payne Train, Daddy Direction), Louis Tomlinson (Tommo, Lou, Boo Bear) Zayn Malik (DJ Malik, Bradford Bad Boy) (Zayn is a former member of One Direction and left the band on March 25, 2015)
A: Show your support. Like One Direction for their own selves and their music, not just their looks. Learn all their names, nicknames, birthplace, and so forth. Follow the band on Twitter and Instagram.

Q: If your honor code states that students are not supposed to cheat and they need to report any cheating they suspect, this sometimes works well. On assignments and exams, you can require that they sign an honor pledge stating that they did not cheat and they reported any cheating they witnessed. You may choose to not grade an assignment or exam that doesn't have a signed honor pledge attached to it. Make it clear what the consequences of cheating are when they sign the honor code. You should also have these consequences posted on the syllabus for the class, so that students can refer to it whenever needed. A key part of preventing cheating is building a relationship with your students so they don't want to disappoint or get in trouble with you. Some ways to build trust include being fair when grading, not having overly high expectations, and explaining your reasons for grades and class content. If you express your desire to build a relationship of trust with your students, and then support them and trust them in return, then they are less likely to cheat. Part of building trust with your students is showing your students that you care about them. They are less likely to break your rules if they know that you are looking after their best interests and are invested in their success. It is important to talk about academic honesty with parents, in addition to talking about it with your students. If you discuss your expectations and methods for avoiding cheating with your student's parents, they can help drive the message home to their children. This will be especially helpful for students who have very involved parents. Make homework count for only roughly 10% of a student's grade. This is typically enough to ensure that the students do the assignments. However, it will make other types of work, such as tests, more important. Most cheating on homework is in the form of excessive collaboration or searching for answers on the internet. If you use this type of weighting and thoughtfully construct your exams, the exams will enforce the no cheating policy for homework better than you can. The students who choose to cheat will likely have their grades lowered as a result of poor performance on exams. Those who are too used to being able to freely collaborate or use the internet may have a hard time with individual assessments. This makes it so there is very little incentive for copying solutions and not very much energy needs to be put into dealing with cheating on homework. Require that students show all of their work and/or provide reasoning for the answer they arrived at. It is very easy to simply copy a final answer off of another student on an exam. If you suspect a student copied off of another student for an exam question or changed their answer after the fact, ask them to reproduce or interpret their solution individually in your presence a few days later. If there is a large difference in their ability to produce that solution during the exam and reproduce the solution individually in your presence, cheating may have occurred. There are certain types of homework assignments that are more difficult to cheat on than others. Group projects and presentations are particularly hard for students to cheat on, unless they are all in on it together. In a group, each student will have specific responsibilities and they will be accountable to each other for the final product. When students are working together, individual students will find it harder to cheat, since that cheating will be exposed to their classmates. While group projects and presentations will not eliminate cheating altogether, they do make cheating less likely. A very common way of cheating is submitting a modified assignment for a regrade. Having a photocopy or scan of the original will allow you to see if the resubmitted work has been altered. Should you catch a student modifying and submitting their work for a regrade, the photocopy or scan becomes hard evidence when you report the case for academic action. This can often happen with students who are very close to the next grade up, who hope to potentially raise a B- grade to a B, for example. So, when photocopying or scanning a sample of exams before returning them, focus especially on those with scores near the grade boundaries.
A: Review the honor code. Build trust with your students. Emphasize honesty with parents. Make homework a small part of a student's grade. Have students show their work. Assign group projects and presentations. Copy assignments before returning them to students.

Q: A reality check is when you ask yourself: "Am I awake, or am I dreaming?" This will ultimately help you tell the difference between the dream world and reality when you are asleep. Reality checks call attention to a fundamental difference between dreams and reality: in dreams, states are fluid; in reality, states stay the same. In dreams, text will change into different words; trees change color and shape; clocks tell time backwards instead of forwards. In reality, text stays the same, trees stay rooted in the ground, and clocks move clockwise. A good reality check to perform, both in reality and dreams, is looking at text. Suppose a poster in your room says "Justin Bieber." Turn away for a minute, and look at the poster again. If it still says "Justin Bieber," the reality check says that you're awake. If you turn away, then look at the poster and it says "Selena Gomez," the reality check will tell you that you're dreaming. When you're having a dream and realize that you are having a dream, then you start to be able to control most of what happens in your dream. When you make the leap and realize you're dreaming, try to calm yourself down. If you get too excited about finally being able to control your dreams, you might accidentally wake up from excitement. Try small activities at first. Again, this is about staying in control of your excitement and not accidentally waking up. Even mundane things like cooking food, climbing a ladder, or skateboarding can be fun when you realize you're in full control. A lot of people enjoy flying, swimming deep into the ocean, and time travel. Try moving huge objects, passing through walls, or even telekinesis. The dreams that you can have are limited only by your imagination!
A:
Try "reality checks" throughout the day. Ace your reality check. Gradually build up to bigger activities.
