Problem: Article: Humidity should be at least 50% and as constant as possible. Ideal daytime temperatures are between 2630C (7886F), with night temperatures no lower than 20C (67F). Acceptable temperatures are warm and very rarely reach lower than 14C (57F) or higher than 34C (93F). Bananas can take up to a year to produce fruit, so it's important to know what range of temperatures it will experience throughout the year. If the temperature falls below 14C (57F), your banana plants will simply stop growing. . Banana plants grow best with 12 hours of direct, bright sunlight each day. They can still grow with less (more slowly), but you should determine where in your yard receives the most sun. Bananas require a lot of water, but are prone to rotting if the water does not drain adequately. To test drainage, dig a hole 0.3m (1 ft.) deep, fill with water, and allow to drain. Refill once empty, then measure how much water is left after 1 hour. Approximately 7-15 cm water drainage per hour is ideal for banana plants. A raised garden bed or adding 20% perlite to the soil assists drainage. This is especially important if you are using a banana plant that does not yet have leaves, or had the leaves removed for shipping. Leaves help evaporate excess water. While banana plants are technically herbs, they are often mistaken for trees for a reason. Some varieties and individuals can reach 7.6 m (25ft.) in height, although you should check the source of your banana plant or local banana growers for a more accurate estimate for your locale and variety. Each banana plant requires a hole at least 30cm(1ft.) wide and 30cm (1ft.) deep. Larger holes should be used in areas of high wind (but will require more soil). Keep banana plants at least 4.5m(15ft) from trees and shrubs (not other banana plants) with large root systems that may compete with the bananas' water. Multiple banana plants help each other maintain beneficial humidity and temperature levels, as long as they are planted at the correct distance. If you can, plant several plants in a clump with 23m(6.510ft.) between each one, or a large number of banana plants 35m(1016ft.) from each other. Dwarf varieties require less space. If your outdoor environment is inadequate, you'll need an indoor location with similar requirements (12 hours bright light and constant warm temperature and humidity). You'll need a large planting container sufficient for its adult size, or be willing to transplant the banana into a larger pot whenever necessary. Always use a pot with a drainage hole in a location where water can drain well. Consider a dwarf variety if you don't have sufficient indoor space. Use half the amount of fertilizer when growing a plant indoors, or cease entirely if you don't have room for a larger plant. (This may be suitable for a houseplant you don't intend to harvest fruit from.)
Summary: Look up your area's temperature and humidity. Find the sunniest area in your yard Choose an area with good drainage. Allow sufficient space. Consider growing it indoors.

Problem: Article: Trust is a huge factor in overcoming shyness in order to stand out and get noticed by others. Instead of jumping into a situation with strangers, try practicing getting noticed with people you already feel comfortable with. Talk to a friend about your shyness and worries about not being noticed. Let a friend or family member know that you want to get noticed and ask her for advice on what you can do. Having a plan can help you to feel less shy and more confident when interacting with others. Think of possible interactions you might have in a specific situation and plan what to say or how to deal with them. Think of an ice-breaker if you feel nervous about meeting new people or talking with people you don't know very well. For example, you could ask about a current event to open up a conversation by saying, "Did you see what happened on the news last night?" Another option is to talk about recent movies or television shows you've been watching. Chances are you'll be able to find one that you both are interested in. Always be prepared for anything. When a teacher/someone calls on you don't hesitate and fade into the shadows, strange as it may sound people will think you're more normal if you answer confidently even if incorrect than a tentative correct. You can't be noticed if you avoid interacting with others. Talking to new people you don't know is a great way to get noticed. Being friendly may give you a great chance to get noticed and overcome some of your shyness. Make eye contact, and simply say, "hello," with a smile. Make it apparent that you like or are interested in the person. Listen to the person and nod your head or show in another way that you are listening to them. Ask a question and say the person's name; people love to hear their own name. Talk about something they like or something you really like and get a conversation going. Communicating on the internet may help to reduce shyness and help you get noticed. Facebook is a way to meet new people, but don't let Facebook do the job for you, because that might make your shyness worse. Don't rely on the internet completely for social interaction. Many shy people find that forcing themselves to be extroverted helps them cope with their shyness. However, this is not a quick fix. A great way to feel confident is just to pretend you are. Act. It works, and at some point it won't be acting anymore. Some may use alcohol or other drugs to feel less inhibited. This may help you feel more confident in the short-term, but doesn't do anything for your shyness or getting you to be noticed in the long-term. If you rely on alcohol or other substances to be social then it can become a crutch and even an addiction that could be difficult to quit. You can use a group situation as a way to practice getting noticed by others. Try finding a group at Meetup.com. Look for exercise classes at your local gym such as yoga, Zumba, or rock-climbing. If your shyness is excessive or leads to high levels of social anxiety, including worries about being judged negatively by others, professional help can assist you. Contact your medical health insurance company and request a list of therapists that are covered. If you do not have health insurance you can conduct a search for local or government organizations that provide low-cost, sliding scale, or free mental health services.
Summary: Connect with people you already know. Be prepared. Meet new people. Use social media. Feign extroversion. Avoid self-medicating. Join a group that you're interested in. Get professional help if needed.

Problem: Article: Remove 7 thick-cut pork chops from the refrigerator and put them onto a baking sheet. Let them sit out at room temperature so they're no longer chilled from being in the refrigerator. This will help them cook evenly. Once the chops have reached your desired temperature, remove them from the oven and cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Rest the chops for 3 minutes and serve them immediately. Serve the chops with roasted potatoes, gravy, cornbread, or cooked greens. You can store the leftover chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator, but they'll become soggy as they're stored. Store them for up to 3 or 4 days.
Summary:
Set the pork chops at room temperature for 45 minutes. Rest the chops for 3 minutes before you and serve them.
