The Bonoloto on Wednesday had 25 times more winners of the second prize of the usual. The psychology of numbers betrays us

by

He Bonoloto draw on Wednesday, July 30 He left a strange image: 127 Under the Second Prize. To put it in perspective, the probability of hitting that category is 1 between 2.3 million. The normal thing is usually that in that category there are between 0 and 4 winners, no more than a hundred. Awarded numbers explain everything: 3, 7, 23, 33, 43, 48, with 13 as complementary. The combination immediately lets smell an irresistible pattern for many players: Four numbers finished in 3. The mythical 7. And the superstitious 13. That is: all finishes in ‘3’, and ‘7’. Image: Lotteries and bets of the State. It is the perfect cocktail of what is often called “special numbers”: figures that the human mind perceives as more likely or lucky, although mathematically they are not. In Forocoches They sighted both the anomalous number of successful ones and the obvious explanation. Many people systematically play numbers that follow visual or symbolic patterns. All finished in the same figure, “beautiful” numbers such as 7, important dates. What they do not calculate is that, If one day they are lucky, they will share it with thousands of people who thought exactly the same. And that has happened. A classic experiment shows that if you ask people to choose “random” numbers, systematically avoid consecutive and tend to distribute them by tens. The result: predictable patterns. The previous day there were only 3 lucky in this category. Almost 70,000 euros each took. That day they went to 1,783 euros, just the average net salary in Spain. The next day there was no reminding. It is not the first recent anomaly: In 2023 it came out practically the same winning combination in two draws With just 48 hours apart, changing only one number. It is a bitter lesson of applied statistics: In gambling, as important as luck is originality. The paradox is that the numbers that seem “less random”-as 1-2-3-4-5-6-are statistically the smartest: you have the same chances of getting hit, but almost nobody else plays them. The next time you see a consecutive combination in a raffle, do not surprise yourself if there are few winners. It will be the day that mathematicians are formed.

There are 90 dolphins stranded on a remote beach in Australia with a marked end. Wednesday will be sacrificed to shooting

by

In recent years we have seen a lot of stories with dragged sea creatures by the sea until incompatible zones or habitatsoften because of the effects of temperatures changes in the oceans. However, few, or possibly none, such as the story that is taking place in a remote area of ​​Australia. Even there came more than a hundred dolphins, and most are still alive, but their end seems marked. Euthanasia. On a remote beach of the Australian island of Tasmania, 157 dolphins were stranded last week. However, environmental authorities have made the difficult decision of Start Euthanasia by shooting at 90 copies on Wednesday They still survived. The cause? Apparently, The impossibility of successfully returning them to the sea. The main reason for this decision is based on the fact that animals are increasingly stressed, severely affected by extreme environmental conditions, such as constant exposure to the sun and strong winds. Shelley Graham, in charge of managing the incident, has confirmed that, after exhaustive veterinary evaluations, Euthanasia is the only viable alternative to relieve the suffering of animals. A very difficult rescue. Experts have that the location in which the dolphins were trapped is particularly complicated for rescue work. Kris Carlyon, Marino Biologist, assured the media that it was one of the most complex sites with which it had been found In his 16 years working in Tasmania. The remote beach, located near the mouth of the Arthur River on the west coast of Tasmania, does not have easy access, which greatly complicates rescue efforts. Last week he tried repeatedly to refloat surviving animals, but without success. The physical characteristics of these dolphinsthat can weigh more than a ton and measure up to six meters in length, make it difficult to return them to the water, since it implies significant risks for both animals and rescuers. False calderones dolphins. The stranded dolphins have been identified as members of a little studied species popularly known as “false orcas” or “false calderones”named for the shape of their skulls that resemble those of the royal orcs. They are highly social marine mammals, accustomed to forming large groups that often exceed 50 copies. Not just that. This strong social bond implies that, when a single individual in the group is disoriented or trapped on the coast, it is capable of drag the rest of the group towards the same destination, causing massive variations Like the current one. These events are not unusual in Australia, but it is the first time in 50 years that such a significant one occurs in this specific area of ​​Tasmania. The science behind these cases. Although these incidents are relatively frequent in the region, scientists still do not know the exact causes that lead these creatures to vary in mass. According to the scientist Marina Vanessa Pirotta, from the moment a cetacean is caught on the beach, A critical countdown to its survival begins. Tasmania in particular is known as an area especially prone to variations, which could be due to its specific geographical location, complex for the natural navigation of these species. However, the ultimate cause of these incidents remains a mystery. Experts like Carlyon recognize that on many occasions The exact reason is never established whereby these animals reach the beach, and the explanation is usually reduced to collective behavior and group orientation. Ecological Impact. It is the last of the legs to be treated, the lack of deep knowledge about these dolphins makes the situation even more dramatic. According to information from the Australian government, There are no reliable estimates about the total number of specimens of this species in the wild. The species is classified in Australia as “almost threatened”, which underlines the ecological importance of this incident and the severity of losing so many specimens simultaneously. Plus: the death of large groups in incidents such as this has the potential of negatively impact the global population of the speciesespecially considering your relative shortage and the few data available on your state of conservation. Euthanasia in cetaceans. Finally, the euthanasia process in large specimens like these dolphins is not easy. In this regard, Kris Carlyon clarified that Mass euthanasias of large cetaceans are extremely complicated operationspractices that require precise and personal methods highly trained to minimize animal suffering. In fact, the choice of euthanasia through shots responds to a technical evaluation that considers the speed, effectiveness and lower stress in the execution. A procedure that in most cases It is usually a last resortapplied when there is no other reasonable alternative to save the life of animals. That said, the incident emphasizes the vulnerability of some marine species in the face of little understood natural and anthropogenic phenomena.

More than 50,000 people under evacuation orders or notice for fire north of Los Angeles

by

CASTAIC, California, USA — Nearly 20,000 people were ordered to evacuate Wednesday as a massive wildfire moved rapidly and tore through the rugged mountains north of Los Angeles, while arid Southern California endured another round of dangerous winds and two other large fires continued to burn. The Hughes Fire broke out in the morning and within hours burned about 8 square miles (21 square kilometers) of trees and brush, generating a huge plume of dark smoke near the Castaic Lake area, a popular recreation area located about 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires that are still burning after three weeks. A 30-mile (48-kilometer) stretch of Interstate 5, a major north-south thoroughfare, was closed as flames swept across hills and into steep canyons. Crews on the ground and in air tankers tried to prevent the wind-driven fire from crossing the highway and heading toward Castaic, where most of the 19,000 residents were ordered to evacuate. Another 15,000 residents in the area were warned to be prepared to leave at any time, according to the Los Angeles County Police Department. Kayla Amara drove to the Stonegate neighborhood in Castaic to pick up items from the house of a friend who had left in a hurry to pick up her daughter from preschool. While Amara was packing up the car, she learned that the fire had grown in size and decided to douse the property with water. “Other people are also spraying their houses with water. I hope there is a house to return to,” Amara said as police patrols passed through the streets and flames engulfed trees on a hill in the distance. Amara, a nurse who lives in nearby Valencia, said she has been nervous for weeks as large fires devastated Southern California. “It’s been stressful with those other fires, but now that this one is close to home it’s just super stressful,” he said. To the south of the state, officials in Los Angeles began preparing for possible rain even as some residents were cleared to return to the charred areas of Pacific Palisades and Altadena. The windy weather was forecast to continue through Thursday and there was a chance of rain starting Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. “Rain is forecast and the threat of mud and debris flows in our fire-impacted communities is real,” Supervisor Kathryn Barger said during a news conference Wednesday morning. Fire crews filled sandbags for communities while county workers installed barriers and cleaned drainage pipes and basins. Red flag alerts for critical fire risk were extended until 8 p.m. Thursday in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Authorities remained concerned that the two large fires, the Palisades and Eaton fires, could break their containment lines as firefighters continue to monitor critical locations. For her part, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass warned that the winds could blow ash and advised Angelenos to visit the city’s website to learn how to protect themselves from toxic air during the new Santa Ana wind event. Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer warned that the ash could contain heavy metals, arsenic and other harmful materials. “Even brief exposure can cause skin irritation and lead to more serious problems,” Ferrer said Wednesday, asking people to wear protective gear while cleaning. Low humidity, extremely dry vegetation and high winds occurred as firefighters continued to battle the Eaton and Palisades fires, which have killed at least 28 people and destroyed more than 14,000 structures since they began on January 7. Containment of the Palisades Fire was 68%, and that of the Eaton Fire was 91%. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said Wednesday that his department continues to investigate 22 active missing person reports in both fire zones. All of the people reported missing are adults, he added. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is investigating the causes of the fires but has not released any findings. Several people who lost their homes in the Eaton fire have filed lawsuits, alleging that utility company Southern California Edison’s equipment started the fire. A judge overseeing one of the lawsuits on Tuesday ordered the company to produce data from circuits in the area where the fire started.

Firefighters struggle to control large fire north of Los Angeles

by

CASTAIC, California, USA — Firefighters were trying to stay ahead of a huge, fast-moving wildfire that swept through rugged mountains north of Los Angeles and left more than 50,000 people under evacuation orders or warnings. The Hughes Fire began late Wednesday morning and in less than a day had burned nearly 16 square miles (41 square kilometers) of trees and brush near Castaic Lake, a popular recreational area about 40 miles (64 kilometers) away. of the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires that have been burning for three weeks. Although the region was under a red flag warning for critical fire risk, winds were not as strong as when those fires started, allowing firefighting aircraft to drop tens of thousands of gallons of fire retardant on the new fire. By Wednesday night, approximately 14% of the Hughes Fire had been contained. “The situation we are in today is very different from the situation we were in 16 days ago,” Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said Wednesday night. (John Locher/Associated Press) (Café de Leche / Matthew Schodorf) Red flag warnings were extended until 10 a.m. Friday in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Officials remained concerned that the Palisades and Eaton fires could break their containment lines as firefighters continue to monitor hot spots. More than 31,000 people have been ordered to evacuate from the Hughes Fire, and another 23,000 are under evacuation warnings, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said. No houses or other structures burned were reported. Parts of Interstate 5 near the Hughes Fire that had been closed reopened Wednesday night. County police officers return to their vehicle after observing flames caused by the Hughes Fire along a road in Castaic, Calif.ornia, Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2025. (Ethan Swope/AP) A 48-kilometer (30-mile) stretch of the main north-south artery had been reserved for emergency vehicles, to move equipment and to prevent accidents due to smoke crossing the highway. Crews on the ground and in water-dropping aircraft attempted to prevent the wind-driven fire from crossing the interstate and heading toward Castaic. Marrone said since the winds were not as strong as they were two weeks ago, aerial crews were able to drop fire retardant on the south side of the fire, where the flames were moving. More than 4,000 firefighters were assigned to the fire, he said. Winds in the area were blowing at 67 kilometers per hour (42 miles per hour) in the afternoon. They had reached 65 mph (105 km/h) in some mountain spots by Wednesday night, according to David Roth, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Kayla Amara drove to the Stonegate neighborhood in Castaic to pick up items from the house of a friend who had run out to pick up her daughter from preschool. While Amara was packing up the car, she learned that the fire had dramatically increased in size and decided to spray the property with a hose. “Other people are also spraying their houses with hoses. I hope there is a house to return to,” Amara said as police cars raced through the streets and flames engulfed trees on a hill in the distance. Amara, a nurse who lives in nearby Valencia, said she has been on edge for weeks as massive fires devastated Southern California. “It’s been stressful with those other fires, but now that this one is close to home it’s just super stressful,” he said. To the south, Los Angeles officials began preparing for possible rain as some residents were allowed to return to the charred areas of Pacific Palisades and Altadena.

Man City is on the brink of elimination from the Champions League after losing to PSG

by

PARIS — Manchester City are on the brink of a humiliating exit from the Champions League after a shock defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, and Real Madrid are no longer at risk after sweeping Salzburg. Manchester City blew a two-goal lead in a high-stakes clash between underperforming millionaires that PSG won 4-2 in Paris, and could still be eliminated alongside the English champions after the final round of matches next week. Only the top 24 in the 36-team standings will advance and Manchester City, the 2023 champions, will start in 25th place needing to beat Club Brugge to enter the elimination round. PSG, now in 22nd place, will play at Stuttgart, which is in 24th place. Reigning champions Real Madrid are safe, rising from 22nd place at the start of Wednesday to 16th place after thrashing Salzburg 5-1. Arsenal and Inter Milan earned expected wins to move up to third and fourth place respectively, although they are still unsure of joining Liverpool and Barcelona in advancing directly to the round of 16. Arsenal beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 and Inter won 1-0 at Sparta Prague. Bayern Munich was defeated 3-0 at Feyenoord, with a pair of goals from the Mexican Santi Giménez, and dropped to 15th place in the mid-table tangle of historic clubs—including Madrid and Juventus—that run the risk of facing each other in the elimination rounds in February. Every question of qualification and elimination will be decided in a likely frantic eighth and final round of matches next Wednesday. All 36 teams will be in action in 18 matches that will begin at the same time, with only the first 24 advancing to the elimination phase. Manchester City looked set to bring PSG closer to elimination by taking a two-goal lead early in the second half. Jack Grealish, a half-time substitute, scored in the 50th minute and then set up Erling Haaland for a second four minutes later. Within six remarkable minutes, PSG were level, with goals from Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola, and a stunning comeback was completed in the 78th when Joao Neves headed the decisive goal. Goncalo Ramos added a fourth in stoppage time. AC Milan quietly climbed to sixth place with a 1-0 win against Girona at the San Siro, and Celtic advanced by winning 1-0 against Young Boys, who lost a seventh game in a row. Sporting Lisbon faces possible elimination next week after losing 2-1 to Leipzig, ending a six-match losing streak, and Shakhtar Donetsk stayed in contention – just barely – with a 2-0 win against the emerging Brest, which will be in the elimination phase. ___ This story was translated from English by an AP editor with the help of a generative artificial intelligence tool.

Winter storm spreads across southern US with ice and snow

by

NEW ORLEANS— A massive storm of snow, sleet and freezing rain hit the southern United States on Wednesday, setting new records for snowfall and exposing the region to unaccustomed winter joys and dangers. From Texas and extending south to Florida and the North Carolina coast, snow and sleet caused ice accumulation in cities New Orleans, Atlanta and Jacksonville, Florida. In Alabama, the weight of the snow caused the dome of the Mobile Civic Center to collapse, which is scheduled for demolition to make way for a new arena for sporting events. At least eight deaths were attributed to the storm as temperatures settled below freezing with even colder wind chills. The arctic air also turned much of the north-central and eastern parts of the country into a freezer, causing hundreds of flights to be cancelled. Government offices remained closed, as did classrooms for more than a million students who are more accustomed to hurricane evacuations than snow days. New Englanders know what to do on days like these: Terry Fraser of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, didn’t have his windshield snow removal tool with him when he went out to visit his granddaughter in Brunswick, Georgia, so he used the card from a discount store to remove snow and ice from his rental van in a frozen hotel parking lot. “This is what we do up north when you don’t have a scraper,” Fraser said. “Hey, it works.” In Tallahassee, Florida, the Holmes family set their alarms for the early hours of Wednesday and headed out in search of a snow-covered slope before it melted. Layla, 9, and Rawley, 12, used what they had: their surfboards. “You have to be creative in Florida!” said mom, Alicia Holmes. Anchorage wants its snow backThe record 10 inches (25 centimeters) of snowfall in New Orleans more than doubled the snowfall Anchorage, Alaska, has received since early December, the National Weather Service said. “We would like our snow back,” the weather service office in Anchorage joked in a post on the social network X. “Or at least some King Cake in return.” Anchorage was also warmer Wednesday morning than New Orleans, Atlanta, Jacksonville or Charlotte, North Carolina, according to the weather service. Dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills are forecast to persist in the southern region of the country on Thursday morning, with widespread frost in some places through the weekend, the weather service said. The thermometer is expected to return above freezing on Thursday in places such as New Orleans, and by Friday in Tallahassee and the coast of the Carolinas. Interstate highway closures Snow and ice also forced road closures, including a several-mile stretch of Interstate 10. Causeways and bridges crossing the Louisiana marshes were particularly prone to frost. “Louisiana, if you can, just hang in there,” Gov. Jeff Landry said, warning that Tuesday’s “magical” snow day would turn dangerous Wednesday as conditions worsened. In Charleston, South Carolina, it took crews nearly 16 hours to reopen traffic along the massive 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) Ravenel Bridge, which carries about 100,000 vehicles a day. Icy conditions plagued drivers in Georgia, where authorities responded to more than 1,000 calls for help. Who needs a beach when there’s snow?Some people took advantage of the Ravenel Bridge’s steep overpasses and turned them into makeshift sledding tracks. On the Outer Banks, children slid down snow-covered sand dunes near where the Wright Brothers made their first flight, while adults attempted to navigate waist-deep drifts of snow at Kitty’s Pier. Hawk. One ferry system suspended service between the barrier islands. “Maybe every 10 years we get a good snowfall like this,” said Ryan Thibodeau, 38, co-owner of Carolina Designs Realty, a vacation rental company. The storm that triggered the first blizzard warnings for some locations along the Texas and Louisiana coast also blanketed the beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama, and Pensacola Beach, Florida. Snow covering the South Carolina sand from Hilton Head to Myrtle Beach created more opportunities to convert surf gear into sleds. “It didn’t have the speed of a sled,” Alex Spiotta said as his family rode a boogie board on the Isle of Palms, South Carolina. “But in the south, you have to use whatever you have.” Other things that were used as sleds were: a laundry basket in Montgomery, Alabama; a pool tube in Houston; and kayaks, cardboard boxes and alligator inflatables on the Mississippi River levees in Louisiana. A vehicle was dragging a skier down a street in Pensacola, Florida. In Metairie, Louisiana, several nuns were having fun throwing snowballs at a priest. Flight cancellations and fatalitiesNearly 2,000 flights were canceled in the United States and another 2,300 were postponed as of midday Wednesday, according to the website FlightAware.com. The unprecedented demand for electricity to stay warm was met by the Tennessee Valley Authority, which provides power to more than 10 million customers in seven states, and PJM Interconnection, which operates the 13-state grid. But more than 100,000 families were without power in the Mid-Atlantic region Wednesday morning, according to the website PowerOutage.us. The Texas Department of Safety and Security reported that five people were killed early Tuesday when a tractor-trailer crashed into other vehicles on an icy highway southwest of San Antonio. Two people died from the cold in Austin, Texas, where emergency crews responded to more than a dozen reports of “cold exposure.” In Georgia, authorities said one person died of hypothermia. And yet the planet is warmingIn Southern California, where fires have killed at least 28 people and consumed thousands of homes, Santa Ana winds and arid conditions worsened by climate change continued to raise concerns. Although the United States, which covers approximately 2% of the planet’s land surface, experiences unusually low temperatures, the planet as a whole sets heat records. So far in 2025, the first 20 hottest days of a year on record have been experienced, according to the European climate service Copernicus, leaving last year’s mark behind, according to the data, which goes back to 1940. So far this year, U.S. … Read more
