Neanderthal sex god DCI Gene Hunt may drive a gas guzzling Audi Quattro, but by having no children he’s doing his bit for the planet, writes Julia Stephenson.
I am intrigued by the forthright views of French writer, Corinne Maier, who has written a book called No Kid: 40 Reasons Not to Have Children ('What, only 40?' suggested one jaded parent).

Almost every day in the news I read about another celebrity entering rehab, writes Clea Myers.
Or re-entering. Or leaving early. Pete Docherty, Amy Winehouse, Kerry Katona, Keith Urban, Britney Spears, Kirsten Dunst and Whitney Huston, to mention a few of the best known.
Often reporters highlight the superficial aspects of these treatment centres, as if they are describing a luxury spa. While there are disparities between levels of comfort within facilities, one unifying feature defines their existence: concentrated treatment for addictive illness.

AGONY
My partner and I have been together for twelve years and
have twin daughters aged six. Since their birth our relationship has
deteriorated to the extent that we now sleep in separate rooms and lead
virtually separate lives.
I still want us to stay together even though we spend much of the time screaming at each other.
I was brought up by a single parent
and desperately want my kids to experience normal family life. We've seen a
couples' counsellor but my partner's still adamant he wants a separation. Any
suggestions as to where we should go from here?

Tolle suffered from debilitating anxiety and depression for many years until one day he decided he could no longer live with himself. Then he had the sudden realisation that if he couldn’t live with himself there must be two of him. This realisation launched him on a profound journey in which he discovered his other ‘eternal’ self. It’s uplifting stuff without being too new-agey.

The next time you have to raise your umbrella against blustery April showers, spare a thought for folks in the US, who have to deal with the effects of a remote weather phenomenon that many may know by name as El Niño, but whose influence has only recently been understood.
Siegfried Schubert and his colleagues at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center are studying the impact that El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events have on the most intense US winter storms.
