Stardew Valley was originally titled Sprout Valley and was created by American indie game designer Eric Barone, known professionally as ConcernedApe. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Barone graduated from the University of Washington Tacoma in 2011 with a computer science degree but was unable to get a job in the industry, instead working as an usher at the ...
In 2020, Barone announced that he was working on several new games, with one of them set in the Stardew Valley universe. [19] On August 15, 2020, the orchestral album Symphonic Tale: The Place I Truly Belong (Music from Stardew Valley) directed by Kentaro Sato and performed by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra was released.

The Iridium system was designed to be accessed by small handheld phones, the size of a cell phone. While "the weight of a typical cell phone in the early 1990s was 10.5 ounces" [6] (300 grams) Advertising Age wrote in mid 1999 that "when its phone debuted, weighing 1 pound (453 grams) and costing $3,000, it was viewed as both unwieldly and expensive."
Iridium forms compounds in oxidation states between −3 and +9, but the most common oxidation states are +1, +2, +3, and +4. [12] Well-characterized compounds containing iridium in the +6 oxidation state include IrF 6 and the oxides Sr 2 MgIrO 6 and Sr 2 CaIrO 6 .
The type locality of this iridium anomaly is near Raton, New Mexico. [1] [2]Iridium is a very rare element in the Earth's crust, but is found in anomalously high concentrations (around 100 times greater than normal) in a thin worldwide layer of clay marking the boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods, 66 million years ago.
Iridium-192 is a very strong gamma ray emitter, with a gamma dose-constant of approximately 1.54 μSv·h −1 ·MBq −1 at 30 cm, and a specific activity of 341 TBq·g −1 (9.22 kCi·g −1). [ 14 ] [ 15 ] There are seven principal energy packets produced during its disintegration process ranging from just over 0.2 to about 0.6 MeV .
Iridium(III) iodide is a dark brown solid that is insoluble in water. [1] It is monoclinic like chromium trichloride. [5] [6] Its trihydrate is yellow and can be dehydrated into the dihydrate or anhydrous form on heating. Iridium(III) iodide also has a monohydrate. [3] [7]
These elements are all transition metals in the d-block (groups 8, 9, and 10, periods 5 and 6). [1] The six platinum-group metals are ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum. They have similar physical and chemical properties, and tend to occur together in the same mineral deposits. [2]
