Skiers across Europe are arriving at resorts to find historically low levels of snow following an exceptionally mild winter.
Stark images from resorts in the likes of France, Austria and Bosnia show huge swathes of mountains almost entirely bare. 
It’s a striking contrast to how they usually look in mid-to-late February - typically the peak season for winter sports.

Muddy runs and melting snow: European ski resorts are in crisis
Even snow cannons have stopped working due to the high temperatures.

Uncharted: it is just a shooting game
The developers of Uncharted aimed for a cover shooter with platforming. The game disconnects players, as the main character, Drake, dominates key actions and experiences. Gameplay inconsistencies and lack of novelty in later chapters disappoint. However, guiding a jet-ski provided a thrilling experience. Overall, the game fails to fully engage players.

Ongoing climate change substantially alters snowfall patterns with severe but diverging consequences for global ski areas.

We present the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0845, which was affected by both the microlensing parallax and xallarap effects. The former was detected via the simultaneous observations from the ground and Spitzer, and the latter was caused by the orbital motion of the source star in a relatively close binary. The combination of these two effects led to a direct mass measurement of the lens object, revealing a low-mass ($0.14 \pm 0.05 M_{\odot}$) M-dwarf at the bulge distance (…

Subgame Optimal and Prior-Independent Online Algorithms
This paper takes a game theoretic approach to the design and analysis of online algorithms and illustrates the approach on the finite-horizon ski-rental problem. This approach allows beyond worst-case analysis of online algorithms. First, we define "subgame optimality" which is stronger than worst case optimality in that it requires the algorithm to take advantage of an adversary not playing a worst case input. Algorithms only focusing on the worst case can be far from subgame optimal. Second, …

General position sets, colinear sets, and Sierpiński product graphs
Let $G \otimes _f H$ denote the Sierpiński product of $G$ and $H$ with respect to the function $f$. The Sierpiński general position number ${\rm gp}{_{\rm S}}(G,H)$ is introduced as the cardinality of a largest general position set in $G \otimes _f H$ over all possible functions $f$. Similarly, the lower Sierpiński general position number $\underline{\rm gp}{_{\rm S}}(G,H)$ is the corresponding smallest cardinality. The concept of vertex-colinear sets is introduced. Bounds for the general po…
