DIY LEGAL SERVICES: ARE THEY RIGHT FOR YOUR BUSINESS?
Author: Clare Curley Date: February 13, 2015
Aalap Shah wanted to launch his social media management agency, but he suffered a common problem: lacking capital to invest in all the legal documentation.
So the co-founder of SoMe Connect in Chicago hopped on a growing trend for startups: “We chose the more DIY approach.”
Relying on a monthly subscription to online legal service company Rocket Lawyer—and occasionally using the site LegalZoom—Shah acquired templates online for their initial independent-contractor agreements, sales-order agreements, terms and conditions, and incorporation. Shah also did his own research, talking to colleagues and reading samples of other companies’ contracts. (more…)

Oh, My Aching Back!
February 9, 2015
By Kaixuan Liu, M.D.
The problem could be degenerative disc disease — a medical term for what happens when the shock absorbing cartilage between the vertebrae wears out.
One of the most common back problems among older adults is degenerative disc disease, which isn’t a disease at all but a stream of changes in spinal discs that results from natural aging, chronic wear and tear, or injury. While we can’t avoid the main risk factor for degenerative disc disease — the accumulation of birthdays — numerous lifestyle measures can help prevent the condition. (more…)

DO YOU HAVE INSOMNIA? Overcoming sleeplessness.
by LARISA WAINER February 2015
Almost everyone has occasional trouble sleeping. Stress, anxiety, indigestion, jet lag or any number of other things might keep us tossing and turning restlessly once in a while. But for 60 million Americans, sleepless nights — along with the daytime sleepiness, irritability, impaired job performance, accidents, and health risks that ensue — are a regular occurrence. In a survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 35 percent of adults reported getting less than seven hours of sleep in a typical 24-hour period, while 38 percent of them reported unintentionally falling asleep during the day at least once in the previous month. Almost 5 percent of those surveyed reported nodding off or falling asleep while driving at least once in the preceding month. (more…)

Many young children approach a new classroom with a fair amount of trepidation. For some, their shyness and anxiety initially manifests itself in a failure to speak. Over the following days and weeks, these children gradually come out of their shells. But a few – perhaps as many as 7 out of every 1,000 children – continue to be silent throughout the school year. These children may have a disorder known as selective mutism. Children with selective mutism are fully capable of speaking and in fact generally communicate normally at home and in situations where they are relaxed and comfortable. These children are not willfully refusing to speak. They are actually unable to speak or communicate effectively in certain social settings, most notably school. (more…)

Psychologist Dr. Stu Leeds Helps Families Understand the Drivers of Self-Injurious Behavior and offers tips for seeing the warning signs
There is no one reason that adolescents harm themselves. And while cutting is the most common, there is no one way in which they do so. Whatever the reason or method, the prospect of their children hurting themselves is frightening and puzzling for parents. “It’s hard to understand but self-harming behavior is often actually an attempt to feel better, to relieve emotional pain,” says Dr. Stu Leeds, clinical psychologist and specialist in self-injury, with Morris Psychological Group. “For many teens, it may – at least temporarily – relieve the pressure of overwhelming feelings of anger, anxiety, hurt, shame or alienation, especially in young people who haven’t learned to express emotion in healthy ways or whose coping skills are insufficient to manage intense emotion. For some, it’s a way to feel in control and for some it may be triggered by peer pressure.” (more…)
