Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get tested if you see symptoms. Test newborn babies. Examine pregnant women. Watch for signs in children and teens. Screen patients with conditions or exposures associated with high risk of developing hypothyroidism.

Answer: Symptoms develop slowly over a number of years. Many of the symptoms can also be associated with many other types of conditions, but any combination of fatigue, increased sensitivity to cold, constipation, dry skin, weight gain, muscle stiffness or weakness, thinning hair, depression, and/or impaired memory will mostly likely lead you to hypothyroidism. If left untreated, hypothyroidism can become a serious problem. Physically, it could lead to a goiter and mentally lead to depression. Myxedema, or advanced hypothyroidism, is rare but can become life-threatening. Low blood pressure, decreased breathing, lowered body temperature, unresponsiveness, and a coma are signs and symptoms of the advanced stage that could ultimately lead to death. Because of the risk of intellectual disability in infants, get your newborn tested while still in the hospital. An early diagnosis, within the first month of life, will make it easy for your baby to reverse any effects of hypothyroidism. A simple blood test can detect the condition and then, once the proper medication is prescribed, your doctor will monitor the thyroid hormone levels with regularly scheduled blood tests. Newborns who suffer from hypothyroidism will exhibit jaundice, frequent choking, a large, protruding tongue, and a puffy face. If the condition progresses, your infant may have trouble feeding, constipation, poor muscle tone, or be excessively sleepy. If untreated, hypothyroidism could lead to severe physical and mental underdevelopment. If you are pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant then you should test your thyroid. Thyroid disease is common in women of childbearing age. Therefore, this condition could dramatically impact both mother and baby during the course of pregnancy. All pregnant women with an enlarged thyroid (goiter), family history of hypothyroidism, or high blood levels of thyroid antibodies should get tested. Ask your doctor for selenium supplementation if you have high antibody levels at the time of preconception. Women taking thyroid hormone replacement prior to pregnancy need to monitor their levels, especially during the first trimester. Doses might increase as the pregnancy progresses. After delivery (postpartum hypothyroidism), women may experience depression, memory and concentration issues, or thyroid enlargement. Children and teens will experience the same signs and symptoms as adults, but since they are still growing and have very active thyroid glands, they may also suffer poor growth resulting in shorter stature, delayed development of their teeth, slowed mental development, or a longer time period to enter puberty. Children with hypothyroidism need to see a doctor regularly because, as they grow, the dosage of medication will change. Severe consequences may occur if the dosage is incorrect. People with conditions such as Down syndrome or Turner syndrome or those taking certain medications (amiodarone, lithium, thalidomide, interferon, sunitinib, and rifampicin) or treatments (radiation therapy to neck, radioiodine treatment, subtotal thyroidectomy), should be screened yearly for hypothyroidism. Screening those who are not at risk and show no symptoms provides little benefit and is not encouraged. Women who are over 50 and have one or more symptoms, however, should be screened.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose plants for your organic garden. Plant your seedlings in full sun after the last frost. Mulch areas around plants 2in (5.1cm) deep. Water your garden in the morning. Weed your garden every few weeks. Attract helpful creatures by adding seeds, compost, or flowers.

Answer: Think about what you like to eat and how often you want to eat it. Plants like tomatoes, peppers, and squash will keep producing all year long, while vegetables like carrots and corn will only produce once. Buy seedlings from a garden store or farmer's market. Be sure to buy seedlings that haven't bloomed yet, and make sure to ask if they've been treated with chemicals. To be a true organic garden, your plants should be completely free of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Plant seedlings into your organic, compost-rich soil and set them in areas where they'll receive full sun: at least 6 hours a day. Plant thickly to prevent weed growth. Companion plantings can fill in spaces in vegetable gardens, too, and will help you make the most of a small space. Spaces that are planted thickly enough will discourage weeds from growing between plants that you want. Organic mulches, including bark, wood chips, and grass clippings, gradually break down and enrich the soil. In the meantime, they control weeds, help to moderate soil temperatures, and slow evaporation, meaning that you can water less. Water in the morning, when the temperature is cool and there's less risk of evaporation, which will deprive your plants of water. Watering in the evening isn't ideal, as it keeps your plants wet overnight and encourages mildew. It's still preferable to watering in the middle of the day, though. Regularly taking off the green portions of weeds will deprive them of the nourishment they need to continue growing. Weeds are any plant you don't want growing in an area, and may include invasive ornamental or productive plants, such as ivy and mint. Use a hoe and keep it sharp. Try a Dutch hoe or scuffle hoe instead of a conventional gooseneck style hoe. Hoe each area frequently enough to keep green weeds down. Hand weed to remove the roots of perennial weeds that grow back. Also hand weed carefully around established plants, to avoid uprooting the plants you want. Try heat to control weeds in cracks, in the form of steam, a heat gun, boiling water, or even a small blowtorch, carefully applied. Many creatures can help your garden. Arrange the conditions of your garden to encourage them by: Putting out seed for birds Adding compost to your soil to attract worms Planting alyssum, sunflowers, lemon balm, and parsley to invite beneficial insects

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Describe any easements or restrictions on the property. Provide all required disclosures. Describe any contingencies. Give detailed information about the consequences of default.

Answer:
A FSBO contract should contain a clear description of any homeowner's association restrictions on the property. Such restrictions might affect, for example, lawn maintenance or a fence that the buyer wishes to build on the property. Easements refer to another person or landowner's interest in the property or a portion of the property. One example of an easement is a driveway that two adjoining properties historically have shared. FSBO contracts regularly contain a provision stating that the Buyer is taking title to the property "subject to any zoning restrictions." A zoning law that affects a particular parcel of property typically restricts how the owner can use the property. In other words, if a property is zoned residential, the Buyer cannot expect to buy the property and turn it into a store. Another common easement provision includes utility easements. It is common for contracts to include a clause that, for example, "permits utility companies to continue using those portions of the property that are necessary for the existing utility services to remain operable." A contract provision relating to another type of easement might state as follows: "The property has a 'right of way' running through the southeast section of its grounds, which is clearly marked and allows the adjoining landowner to enter and exit his property as needed." Some disclosures about real estate are required by federal law, and some are required by state law. These disclosure requirements vary greatly from one state to the next. Some states require that you disclose only those defects of which you already have personal knowledge. Other states require a seller to actively search the property for any hidden defects so that they can be disclosed to the buyer. Common examples of defects that may be subject to disclosure are zoning issues, flooding, leaky pipes, and leaky roofs. Some sellers have an inspection done to make sure there are no problems or disclosures to make before putting the house up for sale. Probably the most common disclosure comes from the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992. This federal law applies only to houses being sold that were built prior to 1978. The seller must disclose to a buyer about the possibility of lead-based paint being used in the home. Most state laws provide for a specific standardized disclosure form to be filled out by the seller and given to the buyer. Both parties typically must sign and date the disclosure form. It is usually presented by the seller at the closing of the sale. The contract should contain detailed information about any contingency, or an event that can make the contract invalid if it occurs. The buyer would be free to walk away from the contract without penalty if the contingent event occurs. There are some common contingencies that many contracts contain. HSBO contracts are often contingent on the outcome of an inspection of the property. This type of contingency should outline the timeframe in which the inspection should occur. It also should set out which party is responsible for the costs of the inspection. This type of provision can refer to a general home inspection, or a specialized inspection, such as one that tests radon levels. An example of a contingency provision clause in a FSBO contract is as follows: "Buyer shall pay for a house inspection, to be conducted before closing. Renegotiation of the agreement will occur only if a major defect, which will cost more than $500.00 to remedy. If the defect would cost less than $500.00 to remedy, then the Buyer shall be responsible for the costs of remedying that defect." Another common contingency involves the ability of the buyer to get financing. Again, this type of contingency should describe the timeframe that the buyer has to find adequate financing. It may even give details such as the amount of financing that is needed and the name of the mortgage company or financial institution providing the financing. The contract also may contain a contingency based on the ability of the seller to obtain suitable housing. Sometimes, the seller wants to make sure that he or she has another place to live before the property is sold and possession given to the buyer. As a result, FSBO contracts may contain a contingency provision like this. The contract should contain information about what happens if either party terminates the contract, which might happen for a variety of reasons. For instance, the contract might provide that if the buyer terminates the contract, the seller will be entitled to receive the earnest money paid by the buyer. This provision might also detail the potential remedies for a party when the other party has defaulted on the contract, such as seeking relief through the court system. For instance, the contract might contain the following provision: "If Buyer breaches this Agreement or otherwise fails to purchase the property as agreed, Seller shall retain the earnest money paid by Buyer as liquidated damages or seek specific performance of the Agreement, at his discretion." This provision allows the Seller to either keep the earnest money paid and terminate the contract, or proceed to file a lawsuit against Buyer claiming a larger amount of damages than the earnest money that was paid. Likewise, a FSBO contract might contain the following clause in favor of the Buyer: "If Seller fails to deliver title to the property to Buyer at closing as contemplated by the Agreement, the Agreement shall terminate and the Buyer shall be entitled to a refund of any earnest money paid." This provision gives the Buyer a specific remedy if the Seller fails to perform the terms of the contract.
