In 2011, a shock celebrity break-up garnered headlines around the world – not the separation of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, nor Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, but the sudden, inexplicable rupture between Bibi and Poldi, two 115-year-old Galápagos tortoises at Happ reptile zoo in Austria. After nearly a century as a couple, the female, Bibi, had had enough: one day, she bit a chunk off Poldi’s shell, drawing blood, and continued to attack him until zoo staff moved him to a separate enclosure. In the wild, Galápagos tortoises are , so it’s no small feat that Bibi and Poldi’s liaison lasted as long as it did, though their coupling never produced any offspring. Unfortunately, attempts at reconciliation were not successful. “We get the feeling they can’t stand the sight of each other any more,” the zoo’s director, Helga Happ, . Why do breakups occur? Among humans it’s a question that has engendered ballads, provided rich fodder for novelists and continues to intrigue scientists. In many mammals, there’s no parental care by the dad To break up, of course, you have to be together in the first place. In social monogamy, animals live together and form strong ties known as pair bonds – though sexual faithfulness is a separate question. In mammals, humans are among the exceptions: social monogamy has been observed in less than 10% of mammal species. That low figure comes down to the difference in parental investment between males and females, says Prof Simon Griffith, an evolutionary ecologist at Macquarie University. In most mammal species, parental care comes primarily from the female, who invests hugely in gestating and providing milk for her young. “In many mammals, there’s no parental care by the dad,” Griffith says. “It may be that he’ll do a bit of guarding, or he’ll hold the territory, but ... he can’t really provide that much for the offspring. “In birds, it’s completely different. The dad can actually care almost as much as the female in terms of delivering food. “That’s why birds tend to have partnerships and mammals don’t.” Before methods to establish paternity existed, evidence suggested that birds as a group were mostly sexually monogamous, says Prof Raoul Mulder, an evolutionary ecologist at the University of Melbourne. “If you look at whether or not a particular species pairs, and how long they pair for, and how long they stay together for, and you classify all the known birds, you’d arrive at a figure of over 90%,” Mulder says. But after genetic testing techniques were developed, scientists began to realise that birds were not as faithful as previously believed that social and sexual monogamy don’t necessarily go hand in hand. Mulder’s work on the found that born in nests were fathered by other males. That astonishing rate of cuckoldry is bested only by the Australian magpie, at a . On the whole, however, Australian birds tend to divorce less than European species, Griffith says, as strong partnerships are required to survive fickle environmental conditions. In the northern hemisphere, the timing of breeding seasons is predictable, tied to day length, but in Australia the decision to breed also depends on climatic factors. Australian birds tend to divorce less than European species “Some years, you literally don’t get any rain that’s meaningful and nothing grows, and the birds and animals that live there can’t breed,” Griffith says of Australia’s arid zone. “[Breeding] is a much more complicated decision at an individual level but, if you’re in a good partnership, you can together optimise that decision.” Among birds, the poster child for monogamy is the wandering albatross, which can live up to 50 years and usually mates for life. “This bird takes such a long time to establish a pair bond,” says Dr Ruijiao Sun, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Santa Barbara. “If an individual loses their partner, it takes years to bond with a new one to be able to start breeding again. “Wandering albatrosses only have one egg at each breeding season but there always needs to be one parent sitting on the nest to protect their chick and do the incubating but they also need to forage ... so they have to take turns. “It really takes two to be able to raise their chicks.” Sun suggests long-lived species such as the wandering albatross benefit more from strong pair bonds. “Each time they breed, they fine-tune their behaviours – they coordinate with each other much better, making reproduction effortless [over time].” Short-lived species, in contrast, might be more ready to ditch their partner to maximise breeding opportunities. Even so, Sun’s research estimates that the divorce rate in wandering albatrosses is about 10%. (Compare this to the king penguin, which, though while with a partner, divorces at a rate .) Other factors that might drive animals to divorce – what scientists call mate switching – include a high mortality rate and a . Both drive up competition for mates, creating temptation for those of the minority sex to shack up with someone more appealing. Research is also emerging that the climate crisis may also play a role in divorce. In a , which nest in rock crevices in Antarctica, Sun and her co-authors found that the number of snow days in a breeding season was directly linked to the rate of break-ups. Too much snow fills nests and freezes the eggs, leading to incubation failure. “They may either abandon their previous nest or abandon their partner,” Sun says, adding that the stress of constant snow-shovelling might make birds “blame their partner more than they normally would do”. The work projected that declining sea ice under climate change would also affect survival rates in future, skewing the sex ratio. “We will have a lot of males in a population, and fewer females available to mate with them,” Sun says. probably also play a role in the Falkland Islands, where unusually warm water temperatures have been linked to in black-browed albatrosses. “Environmentally driven divorce,” the researchers suggested at the time, “may therefore represent an overlooked consequence of global change”.Kanye West, also known as Ye, has been named in a lawsuit filed by Jenn An , a former contestant on America’s Next Top Model , for alleged sexual assault and strangulation.

Allegations of Assault Described in Lawsuit The lawsuit claims that West assaulted An by strangling her with both hands, forcefully gagging her, and declaring, “This is art. This is f–king art. I am like Picasso.” An alleges the act was filmed by West under the guise of creating art for the music video. The filing also accuses Interscope Records and Universal Music Group (UMG) of enabling West’s behavior by failing to intervene or take action against him. The lawsuit highlights a pattern of tolerance for West’s controversial actions, describing his alleged conduct as part of a “profitable” brand that the music industry prioritized over accountability.

Also Read: DOGE's big shake up of the federal government: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to make this move first The filing also levels broader accusations against UMG and its affiliates, stating that the music industry “systematically discriminates against women” by continuing to work with artists accused of harassment and misconduct, as mentioned in a report by The Wrap. The lawsuit further alleges that industry figures attempted to cover up the incident to protect West’s career and reputation. Model’s Career and Advocacy Since her appearance on America’s Next Top Model in 2009, Jenn An has built a career in modeling and acting, with roles in popular television shows such as The Mindy Project, Criminal Minds, and Grey’s Anatomy. On social media, An identifies as a feminist and advocate for marginalized communities, including Black, trans, and immigrant individuals. West and UMG Silent Amid Mounting Allegations This lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal troubles for Kanye West, who has faced numerous accusations and workplace controversies in recent months. Neither West nor representatives for Universal Music Group have responded to the allegations at the time of writing. FAQs Did Kanye grow up in China? At the age of 10, Kanye West moved to China with his mother, Donda West, who participated in an educational exchange program teaching at Nanjing University. Even as a child, West demonstrated remarkable artistic talent, frequently winning local talent shows. When did Kanye become a billionaire?

This marked a significant milestone for Ye, who began collaborating with the brand on the Yeezy line in 2013.

Since leaving Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain in a record-breaking transfer in 2017, Neymar has been linked with a return to the Camp Nou multiple times. His time in Paris has been successful on the pitch, but off the pitch, rumors of discontent and a longing to return to Spain have never truly faded away.Despite Barnes' early departure from the game, the Knicks managed to stay competitive throughout, thanks in large part to the relentless efforts of Towns. His dominant presence in the paint on both ends of the court proved to be a deciding factor in the outcome of the game. Towns' ability to control the boards, facilitate the offense, and score at crucial moments showcased his versatility and leadership on the court.
Artificial intelligence. Abortion. Guns. Marijuana. Minimum wages. Name a hot topic, and chances are good there's a new law about it taking effect in 2025 in one state or another. Many of the laws launching in January are a result of legislation passed this year. Others stem from ballot measures approved by voters. Some face legal challenges. Here's a look at some of the most notable state laws taking effect: FILE - Director of Photography Jac Cheairs and his son, actor Wyatt Cheairs, 11, take part in a rally by striking writers and actors outside Netflix studio in Los Angeles on Friday, July 14, 2023. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File) California, home to Hollywood and some of the largest technology companies, is seeking to rein in the artificial intelligence industry and put some parameters around social media stars. New laws seek to prevent the use of digital replicas of Hollywood actors and performers without permission and allow the estates of dead performers to sue over unauthorized AI use. Parents who profit from social media posts featuring their children will be required to set aside some earnings for their young influencers. A new law also allows children to sue their parents for failing to do so. FILE - In advance of Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri's Congressional testimony, to illustrate the harms children face on social media, parent activists brought an "Instagrinch" to the Capitol building in Washington, Dec. 7, 2021. (Eric Kayne/AP Images for ParentsTogether, File) New social media restrictions in several states face court challenges. A Florida law bans children under 14 from having social media accounts and requires parental consent for ages 14 and 15. But enforcement is being delayed because of a lawsuit filed by two associations for online companies, with a hearing scheduled for late February. A new Tennessee law also requires parental consent for minors to open accounts on social media. NetChoice, an industry group for online businesses, is challenging the law. Another new state law requires porn websites to verify that visitors are at least 18 years old. But the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry, has filed a challenge. Several new California measures aimed at combating political deepfakes are also being challenged, including one requiring large social media platforms to remove deceptive content related to elections and another allowing any individual to sue for damages over the use of AI to create fabricated images or videos in political ads.

(Anjali Sharif-Paul/The Orange County Register via AP, File) In a first nationally, California will start enforcing a law prohibiting school districts from adopting policies that require staff to notify parents if their children change their gender identification. The law was a priority for Democratic lawmakers who wanted to halt such policies passed by several districts. FILE - Christian F. Nunes, president of National Organization for Women speaks as abortion rights activists and Women's March leaders protest as part of a national day of strike actions outside the Supreme Court, Monday, June 24, 2024, in Washington. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein, File) Many states have passed laws limiting or protecting abortion rights since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a nationwide right to the procedure in 2022. One of the latest is the Democratic-led state of Delaware. A law there will require the state employee health plan and Medicaid plans for lower-income residents to cover abortions with no deductible, copayments or other cost-sharing requirements. FILE - Gov.

Peggy Flanagan, center left, and his wife Gwen Walz, center right, stand by him. (Jeff Wheeler/Star Tribune via AP, File) A new Minnesota law prohibits guns with "binary triggers" that allow for more rapid fire, causing a weapon to fire one round when the trigger is pulled and another when it is released. In Delaware, a law adds colleges and universities to a list of school zones where guns are prohibited, with exceptions for those working in their official capacity such as law officers and commissioned security guards.

To apply for a state medical cannabis card, people must get written certification from a medical provider of a qualifying condition, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, epilepsy, chronic nausea or post-traumatic stress disorder. Nearly four-fifths of U.S. states have now legalized medical marijuana. Minimum wage workers in more than 20 states are due to receive raises in January. The highest minimum wages will be in Washington, California and Connecticut, all of which will top $16 an hour after modest increases. The largest increases are scheduled in Delaware, where the minimum wage will rise by $1.75 to $15 an hour, and in Nebraska, where a ballot measure approved by voters in 2022 will add $1.50 to the current minimum of $12 an hour. Twenty other states still follow the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. FILE - A man talks on his cell phone while driving in Los Angeles, Monday June 30, 2008. (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian, File) In Oregon, using drugs on public transit will be considered a misdemeanor crime of interfering with public transportation. While the measure worked its way through the legislature, multiple transportation officials said drug use on buses and trains, and at transit stops and stations, was making passengers and drivers feel less safe. In Missouri, law enforcement officers have spent the past 16 months issuing warnings to motorists that handheld cellphone use is illegal. Starting with the new year, penalties will kick in: a $150 fine for the first violation, progressing to $500 for third and subsequent offenses and up to 15 years imprisonment if a driver using a cellphone cause an injury or death. But police must notice a primary violation, such as speeding or weaving across lanes, to cite motorists for violating the cellphone law. Montana is the only state that hasn't banned texting while driving, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Laura Kelly announces her 'Axe the Food Tax' campaign at Dillons grocery store in Topeka, Kan., Monday, Nov. 8, 2021 by holding an axe. (Evert Nelson/The Capital-Journal via AP, File) Tenants in Arizona will no longer have to pay tax on their monthly rent, thanks to the repeal of a law that had allowed cities and towns to impose such taxes. While a victory for renters, the new law is a financial loss for governments. An analysis by Arizona's nonpartisan Joint Legislative Budget Committee estimated that $230 million would be lost in municipal tax revenue during the first full fiscal year of implementation. Meanwhile Alabama will offer tax credits to businesses that help employees with child care costs. Kansas is eliminating its 2% sales tax on groceries. It also is cutting individual income taxes by dropping the top tax rate, increasing a credit for child care expenses and exempting all Social Security income from taxes, among other things. Taxpayers are expected to save about $320 million a year going forward.

(AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, File) An Oklahoma law expands voting privileges to people who have been convicted of felonies but had their sentences discharged or commuted, including commutations for crimes that have been reclassified from felonies to misdemeanors. Former state Sen. George Young, an Oklahoma City Democrat, carried the bill in the Senate. "I think it's very important that people who have gone through trials and tribulations in their life, that we have a system that brings them back and allows them to participate as contributing citizens," Young said.

The slower climb in ticket expenses is a leveling off from this year’s steep post-Covid increases, the global corporate travel manager said in its annual report on the cost of flying. Fares on most routes will rise, though the size of the increases will likely vary greatly by region. North America and Europe are expected to see more “modest” increases of around 2% while Asia and Australasia, among the last regions to unwind pandemic curbs, are set to see rises of close to 14%. While airlines are largely more bullish about demand in 2025, their near-term efforts to add capacity remain hampered by delays in both new Airbus SE and Boeing Co. planes, as well as longer servicing of jet engines that prevent more aircraft from taking to the skies. (Join our ETNRI WhatsApp channel for all the latest updates) Increases in ticket prices next year are likely to more than erase any decreases before 2024, meaning some fares may return to post-pandemic highs, Bloomberg News calculations based on the Amex GBT data show.

In addition, airlines continue to add new surcharges and low-cost carriers have invested in expensive extras like airport lounges and better seats. Routes between Europe and Asia will likely see a 6.6% jump for economy travel and 8.2% in business, driven largely by the higher costs associated with avoiding Russian airspace and curtailed supply, and as a number of European carriers pull out of China. Australia is forecast to see the largest increases especially for domestic travel. Qantas Airways Ltd. and Virgin Australia are set to consolidate their effective duopoly in the market following the collapse of smaller carriers Rex and Bonza. Despite global price rises leveling off, Gerardo Tejado, senior vice president of professional services at Amex GBT, said that companies that rely on air travel will still be faced with a “new reality” and should expect “tough negotiating stances from airlines” as carriers seek to extract more revenue.
