The El Nino Phenomenon Again we're having a warm winter in here. The global warming is due to the El Nino. It is what we call the Pacific Ocean warm water phe-nomenon. In fact El Nino is the Spanish name for baby Jesus. Do you know why it is called that? That is because warm water moving across the Pacific traditionally rea-ches South America at around Christmas. Scientists have now used the term El Nino for the major warming periods over large South America coastal areas and areas west of the equator and the Dateline. The El Nino comes every 4 or 5 years and lasts be-tween 12-18 months. It brings extremely bad weather like storms, drought etc. It sets fire on rain forests and bums lots of them. So we should encourage people to make a donation for the protection of our planet. We're responsible for lots of envi-ronmental problems and human activities have killed so many animals and plants on the earth. And all species depend in some way on each other to survive. So if we lose one of them, some others might die as the result. This makes things even worse. We' ve got one Planet only. If we make a mess of it, we can't move to another.

Star talks of better half

The British film star Hugh Grant can't seem to work out what women want.

"There's no girl who only wants bastards, and no girl who wants a nice guy. Women want both, " the British star tells the May issue of Talk magazine.

"And, really, they'd like to alternate on a weeklybasis. Can any man be both? I like to keep women guessing."

Since Grant's breakup last year with his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley,the thought of Plunging into another big relationship doesn't seem like it's in the cards.

"How easy do you think it is to find someone you can share 14 years of personal jokes with?

Not easy. And I don't know that I will," he says.

Still, the 40-year-old star admits he can't help thinking that his clock is tick-ing.

"In the end, I want to have kids. But in the back of my mind, I never wanted to have kids until I'd done something I'm proud of--written a book, had my name on something really worthwhile, "he says.

"I'm so determined not to be in front of the cameras any more."

With all of these concerns inside, has Grant ever considered seeing a psychiatrist to sort things out?

"I don't think I need therapy, thank you," sniffs the star.

"I'm frightened of those people. And more than that, I don't want to know what lies beneath. "

A. is looking for another girlfriend at the present time

B. never feels sure of finding a girlfriend who can take the place of Elizabeth Hurley

C. considers it a shame to look for another girlfriend
