As the name suggests, the northern lights feature in this video game that has you surviving in the harsh wilderness of Siberia. You must use your own wits to forage and hunt survive the tundra. The icy environment of the Siberian wilderness is as beautiful as it is terrifying, which this game captures.
Polar Lights Casey !!BETTER!!
Seeing the northern lights is a quiet reprieve from the more action-packed aspects of the game. In between looting enemy pirates, you can enjoy a peaceful moment watching the aurora borealis. There are even sets of clothing and ship parts in the game named and designed after the aurora, letting you travel in style.
The northern lights are important to both the story and survival modes of The Long Dark, and they can be seen in the sky at different times throughout the game. Unlike other games, where the aurora borealis is a pleasant sight to behold, in this game, it spells danger despite its beauty.
United States Senator Olympia Snowe shocked the Maine political scene on Tuesday when she announced that she would not seek re-election in November. Her decision prompted a flurry of speculation as to who would run for her seat. The senator made her announcement in a written statement, citing "an atmosphere of polarization and 'my way or the highway' ideologies" as the motivating forces behind her decision.
Many organic reactions are mechanistically driven by two-electron processes. Although such methods are highly effective for a vast number of transformations, there are still many such conversions that have proven challenging or that suffer from harsh reaction conditions or intolerance of sensitive functional groups. The limitations of such transformations are often inherent to the mechanism of these processes at the most fundamental level, and thus predispose many of these reactions for failure. Processes transpiring via single electron mechanistic paradigms have promise to resolve some of the aforementioned limitations. Described will be our efforts to develop a suite of radical precursors generated by photoredox chemistry, and the incorporation of these radicals in diverse carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming transformations, emphasizing the tolerability of the developed conditions to an unprecedented array of functional groups. The value of generating radicals in a process that is synchronized and catalytic will be emphasized. Sequential transformations and multi-component reactions based on radical chemistry will be outlined, both in dual catalyzed processes and in radical/polar crossover processes where a subsequent catalytic transformation is not utilized. Applications of methods developed to biomolecules and DNA Encoded Library synthesis will be presented.
Hello, Jackson Osborn here again. We made it back from the Arctic in one piece. We held out for ideal flying weather but unfortunately the inclement weather decided to hold out longer. I made the journey back to Colorado on October 22nd and Janet Intrieri (NOAA) decided to stay in Kaparuk for a few more days in the hopes of catching a break and the chance of getting airborne. Although we did not manage to get any more flights in, we did learn some valuable lessons from this experience and gained some insight into working with the MiniFlux system. This insight will transfer to future deployments of this system.
Below is a picture of the North Slope from my flight back to Anchorage. It was nice to see the sun and blue sky again but notice the fog for days. This is what prevented us from getting any flights in.
The next couple of days are forecast to be a bit less favorable weather-wise. While flights have not been completely ruled out, there is more uncertainty surrounding their feasibility. Stay tuned to hear more about future flights and to get some insight into data collected to date!
Tomorrow I will be going up to Oliktok Point. Cory Dixon, who was supposed to join me, will be traveling to Fairbanks instead, to help with integration efforts there. While things are not where we wanted them to be at the current time, I am doing my best to remain optimistic about the potential for flights starting sometime early next week. Stay tuned!
