Calvin–Rehoboth Observatory. The Calvin–Rehoboth Robotic Observatory (obs. code: G98) is an astronomical observatory developed jointly between Calvin University (formerly Calvin College) in Michigan and Rehoboth Christian School in New Mexico, United States. It consists of identical telescopes, one on each campus.  Students at both schools use the telescopes as part of their study. The joint observatory has been in operation since 2004.

Since weather in Michigan is often problematic for visual astronomy, the joint observatory allows students at the college to operate the telescope in New Mexico remotely after having trained on the identical telescope locally.  It provides access to research quality scientific equipment and training for the high school students.

The observatory was used to discover several minor planets, including 145475 Rehoboth, which was named for the high school, where the Calvin–Rehoboth Robotic Observatory is located, while 134244 De Young was named for Mike De Young, a former science teacher at the Rehoboth Christian School.

List of discovered minor planets 

More than a hundred discovered minor planets are credited directly to the discovering observatory () by the Minor Planet Center (as Calvin College or Prairie School).

3DX. The 3DX, also known as the Auxetik, was the first 3D printed metal muzzle brake and the first 3D printed metallic component for a firearm. It is meant for the highly customisable AR-15 rifle. The design was made public around July 2013. The printer used to print it is unknown but the brake was created using the Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) method by Sintercore (a weapons manufacturing startup company). It is  designed to tame the recoil and muzzle rise of AR-15 pistols chambered for .223 caliber (5.56×45mm) NATO rounds. The Auxetik was renamed to 3DX by Sintercore.

It uses metal Inconel material  and as of 2014 the company was selling each one for around $300.

Specifications

The 3DX is the first 3D printed muzzle brake available for commercial sale with muzzle control on semi-automatic and fully automatic. It uses 100% Inconel superalloy construction and Ionbond Diamondblack coating. The threading is 1/2×28RH for 5.56×45mm NATO, .223 Remington, and smaller calibers.  The brake comes with installation instructions and a crush washer.

Performance
It survived the firing of 7900 rounds during testing on semi-auto. During a test on full auto, 10 magazines of 62 grain green tip 5.56 rounds were all fired without any issues.

Thefirearmblog tested the item on the first, sixth, and 12th month of their experiment, then checked the interior using a USB microscope. They claim that there was no "discernible difference in performance over that year, there was no muzzle rise to speak of and no increase in report when firing".

United States military interest
US Special Operation Command’s (USSOCOM) Science and Technology Directorate at MacDill Air Force Base invited Neal Brace (the owner of Sintercore) to demonstrate the newly named 3DX muzzle brake for possible use by its elite troops using an "ARES Defense AMG-1 and AMG-2 belt fed machine gun with a 13-inch barrel feeding from a 200-round box magazine". Testing was done on August the 5th 2014 by special operations troops on a closed range.  All the testing was carried out with the ARES AMG-1 and 2.

Ant Raid. Ant Raid is a 2011 real-time strategy game developed by the Finnish indie studio Prank. It was released for iOS on July 6, 2011, and on Android in 2012. The game was well received.

Gameplay 

Ant Raid has 104 levels: 60 story mode levels, 40 challenge mode levels, and four endless mode levels. The player must defend a base from enemies such as snails and giant bees by strategically managing squads of ants. Defeated enemies drop colored energy that provides temporary abilities: blue makes ants invulnerable, red makes ants faster, and combining both applies both effects at the same time. Green energy activates the "divine finger" effect, allowing the player to temporarily kill enemies directly by tapping the screen.

Reception 

On Metacritic, the game has received "universal acclaim", based on eight critics.

Slide to Play praised Ant Raid's graphics, describing the game as having "terrific presentation, complete with detailed insects and beautifully rendered landscapes", and expressed that the game has "plenty of content and challenge" and called the 'divine finger' mechanic "absurdly fun".

Gamezebo praised the game's varied gameplay and "personality", stating that "the whole game is as beautiful and colorful as the opening, with lush, detailed environments and quirky, fun characters throughout", but criticized the inability to zoom out to see more of the map at once.

148Apps described the game as "more approachable" than a hardcore RTS game, praising the game as a casual take on the RTS genre, expressing that "what seems cute and mindless is actually incredibly fun because it encourages one to think and use a little foresight".

TouchArcade praised the game's strategic gameplay, and expressed that while later levels get repetitive, the game's difficulty curve kept them interested.

Titanium perchlorate. Titanium perchlorate is a molecular compound of titanium and perchlorate groups with formula Ti(ClO4)4. Anhydrous titanium perchlorate decomposes explosively at 130 °C and melts at 85 °C with a slight decomposition. It sublimes in a vacuum as low as 70 °C. Being a molecular with four perchlorate ligands, it is an unusual example of a transition metal perchlorate complex.

Properties

In Ti(ClO4)4, the four perchlorate groups binds as bidentate ligands.  Thus the Ti center is bound to eight oxygen atoms. So the molecule could also be called tetrakis(perchlorato-O,''O)titanium(IV)'''.

In the solid form it forms  monoclinic crystals, with unit cell parameters a=12.451 b=7.814 c=12.826 Å α=108.13. Unit cell volume is 1186 Å3 at -100 °C. There are four molecules per unit cell.

It reacts with petrolatum, nitromethane, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, and over 25° with carbon tetrachloride.

Titanyl perchlorate form solvates with water, dimethyl sulfoxide, dioxane, pyridine-N-oxide, and quinoline-N-oxide.

Thermolysis of titanium perchlorate gives TiO2, ClO2 and dioxygen O2 The titanyl species TiO(ClO4)2 is an intermediate in this decomposition.
Ti(ClO4)4 → TiO2 + 4ClO2 + 3O2 ΔH = .

Formation
Titanium perchlorate can be formed by reacting titanium tetrachloride with perchloric acid enriched in dichlorine heptoxide. Another way uses titanium tetrachloride with dichlorine hexoxide.  This forms a complex with Cl2O6 which when warmed to 55° in a vacuum, sublimes and can crystallise the pure anhydrous product from the vapour.

Related
In the salt dicaesium hexaperchloratotitanate, Cs2Ti(ClO4)6 the perchlorate groups are monodentate, connected by one oxygen to titanium.

Titanium perchlorate can also form complexes with other ligands bound to the titanium atom including binol, and gluconic acid.

A polymeric oxychlorperchlorato compound of titanium, Ti6O4Clx(ClO4)16−x, is made from excess TiCl4 and dichlorine hexoxide. This has a varying composition, and ranges from light to dark yellow.
