Staggeringly it has been nearly 25 years since The Upper Hand came to an end. Starting in May 1990, the much-loved ITV sitcom ran for seven series until the final episode aired in October 1996. Adapted from American sitcom Who's The Boss?, The Upper Hand focused on affluent single mum Caroline Wheately trying to raise her son. Along with the help of her mother Laura West, Caroline employed a live-in housekeeper named Charlie Burrows to help get her life back on track. Charlie also brought along his daughter Joanna and they formed a loving family - with viewers tuning in to see their hilarious antics. For years we were desperate to see whether Caroline and Charlie would get together amid their "will-they-won't-they" relationship until they finally got married. There were plans to end the show after they wed - but bosses wrote a final series focused on their life as husband and wife. Once filming stopped on the comedy classic, the cast remained on our screens on other … [Read more...] about Where The Upper Hand cast are now – EastEnders favourite and tragic Bond girl death

In The West , The National Parks , Prohibition , The Dust Bowl , The Roosevelts , The Vietnam War , The Mayo Clinic , and now Country Music , actor Peter Coyote delivers hours of often dense, complex text — full of facts, figures, quotes, and grand unifying ideas — in a manner that Burns refers to as “God’s stenographer.” His calm, cowboy-around-a-campfire timbre is basically the voice of America, at least within the orbit of PBS. Generations of kids first met Coyote as the embodiment of authority — he played Keys, the head scientist in E.T. the Extra Terrestrial — but the man himself has lived a Zelig-like life. Growing up as a secular Jew with communist relatives during the McCarthy era, Coyote was an early convert to political activism and the counterculture. “I saw grown-ups weeping in my living room,” he says. “Men and … [Read more...] about The Golden Voice Behind All Those Ken Burns Documentaries

It's a new parent's worst fear: Putting a healthy baby down to sleep, and coming back to find him not breathing. Over the years, researchers have identified some factors that contribute to deaths of infants in their sleep, such as co-sleeping and putting a baby down on his or her stomach to sleep. When a baby's death remains unexplained, it is said to be due sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Now, a new study, published today (July 14) in the journal Pediatrics, shows that the risk factors that contribute to SIDS vary with a baby's age. The majority of infants in the study younger than 4 months old who died while sleeping were bed sharing, whereas older infants who died were likelier to be found on their stomachs, or with blankets, stuffed animals or pillows around them, said study co-author Dr. Jeffrey Colvin, a pediatrician at Children's Mercy Hospital in Missouri. Risk factors SIDS and unintentional injuries such as suffocation occur in 81 out of every 100,000 … [Read more...] about SIDS Risk Factors Vary for Older and Younger Babies

How does talk therapy work? What are its active ingredients, the central mechanisms by which clients improve in therapy? The truth is that we don’t quite know . We do know that therapy works , and that some therapies work better than others for some disorders. Yet research has tended to show that, overall, mainstream therapies are remarkably similar in their effects. This has become known as the " dodo bird verdict. " Given this, researchers have focused much attention on identifying the so-called "common factors" in therapy—those nonspecific aspects of the therapeutic encounter that may shape outcomes across techniques and theoretical perspectives. Over the years, research has identified several such factors, including the client’s expectations ( placebo effect ), the therapist’s empathy and positive regard, and client-therapist goal consensus.
