Was kann eine Entwässerungsmaschine wirklich leisten und wo setzt der Schlamm selbst die Grenze? Gemeinsam mit Dr. Julia Kopp sprechen Daniel und Klaus über Wasserbindung, typische TR-Werte und die Frage, warum auch das beste Polymer keinen Schlamm über seine physikalischen Möglichkeiten hinaus entwässern kann. Außerdem geht es um aerobe und anaerobe Schlammstabilisierung, das richtige Schlammalter, die Platzierung der Eindickung und wie funktioniert der Abbau in der Faulung. Julia erklärt, warum lange Leitungen mit dickem Primärschlamm dem Betrieb das Leben schwer machen, welche Vorteile eine zweistufige Faulung haben kann und was bei Bio-P, Microthrix und Rückbelastungen zu beachten ist. Am Ende wird klar: Die passende Schlammbehandlung beginnt nicht bei der Maschine. Sie beginnt bei der Frage, wer den Schlamm später übernimmt, in welcher Form er gebraucht wird und wie Transport, Entwässerung, Trocknung und Entsorgung zusammenspielen.

Wacker Chemie AG Q1 2026: Key TakeawaysWACKER Chemie AG First Half 2026 Financial Results PresentationIn this financial results presentation on seat11a, Jörg Hoffmann, Head of Investor Relations at WACKER Chemie AG, presents the company's First Half 2026 Financial Results and discusses financial performance, business segment developments, operational improvements, and the updated outlook for the year.First Half 2026 Financial PerformanceDuring the second quarter of 2026, WACKER increased sales by 7% year-on-year to €1.52 billion. Reported EBITDA rose to €211 million, while EBITDA before special effects reached €175 million, supported by higher volumes, improved pricing, and continued savings from the company's PACE efficiency program. Net income increased significantly to €350 million, primarily reflecting Siltronic-related valuation and transaction effects.Chemicals, Biosolutions and Polysilicon Business DevelopmentsThe Chemicals division delivered strong operational performance across both Silicones and Polymers. Higher volumes, price increases to offset raw material inflation, and operational improvements supported higher profitability, while Biosolutions continued to benefit from BioPharma project business and disciplined cost management. The Polysilicon business continued to benefit from strong semiconductor demand, although solar markets remained challenging due to weak pricing, Chinese overcapacity, and regulatory uncertainty in the United States.PACE Efficiency Program Driving Operational ImprovementsA major focus of the presentation is the company's PACE efficiency program, which continues to improve operational performance across the Group. Management highlighted approximately €45 million of savings achieved during the quarter and reaffirmed the long-term target of generating more than €300 million in cumulative annual savings by 2028.Strong Balance Sheet and Updated FY 2026 OutlookThe presentation also highlights WACKER's strong financial position. Liquidity remained high at €1.57 billion, shareholder equity increased to €4.18 billion, and net financial debt declined to €722 million. Following the stronger first-half performance, management raised its FY 2026 EBITDA guidance to €625–750 million while maintaining expectations for mid-single-digit sales growth during the year.▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

Katie Schlott spent 20 years in innovation — running experiments, iterating, testing what works. So when she realized her professional network had quietly gone dark during the years she was deep in parenting, she did what any good strategist would do: she designed an experiment.Day raves. Pop-up dinners in strangers' homes. Perfume making fundraisers. Online Slack communities. Wonder Woman dinners. A volunteer board for women's health research. She tried all of it, wrote about it for Inc Magazine, and then came back on AND/BOTH to talk through what she actually found.The conversation covers the new rules of networking, why smaller rooms build realer connections, how parents in particular need to rethink the whole model, and what happens when you decide to build the community you can't find.

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Laura Leay interviews assistant professor Christos Athanasiou and postdoctoral researcher Danqi Sun from Georgia Institute of Technology about their research on introducing a new material state through polymer necking. After applying different strain rates to poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) then testing the material at different orientations, they discovered changes in mechanical behavior. They attributed these behaviors to changes in the microstructure. This work was published in a recent issue of the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids.

Warum scheitern viele 3D‑Druck‑Anwendungen nicht an der Maschine, sondern am Material? In dieser Interviewfolge spricht Johannes Lutz mit Polymer‑Experte Uwe Stenglin von DIPRO®Mat darüber, warum Hochleistungspolymere der entscheidende Hebel für echten industriellen 3D‑Druck sind. Es geht um minimale Schwindung statt Verzug, um Temperatur‑, UV‑ und Chemikalienbeständigkeit – und um Anwendungen, die wirklich funktionieren, von Großbauteilen bis zu gedruckten Booten. Eine Folge für alle, die weg von PLA‑Kompromissen wollen und verstehen möchten, wie Materialkompetenz Innovation im 3D‑Druck erst möglich macht.

Les marées noires font partie de ces catastrophes que l'on redoute autant qu'on espère ne jamais revoir. Elles surviennent lorsqu'un hydrocarbure, du pétrole brut le plus souvent, est rejeté en mer à la suite d'un accident, comme une collision de navires ou un incident sur une plateforme pétrolière. Une fois à la surface, le pétrole forme une nappe qui perturbe tout l'écosystème : poissons asphyxiés, oiseaux englués, littoraux durablement contaminés. Même si ces événements sont aujourd'hui moins fréquents, leurs conséquences restent majeures et exigent des solutions rapides et efficaces.C'est précisément sur ce terrain que se positionne une équipe de chercheurs de l'Université d'Hiroshima. Dans une étude publiée en mars 2026 dans la revue scientifique Polymers for Advanced Technologies, ils présentent une innovation prometteuse : de petites billes capables de capturer le pétrole directement à la surface de l'eau. Ces billes sont composées de matériaux naturels. On y trouve notamment du chitosane, un polymère issu de la chitine, que l'on retrouve par exemple dans les carapaces de crustacés, et de l'acétate de cellulose, dérivé de fibres végétales. À cela s'ajoute la bentonite, une argile connue pour ses propriétés d'absorption. Résultat : un matériau à la fois léger, biodégradable et particulièrement efficace.Le principe est simple, mais ingénieux. Ces billes flottent naturellement et agissent comme de minuscules éponges. Elles adsorbent, c'est-à-dire qu'elles captent à leur surface, les hydrocarbures présents dans l'eau, sans se mélanger à eux. Cette distinction est importante : contrairement à une simple absorption, l'adsorption permet de récupérer plus facilement le polluant une fois piégé.Selon les chercheurs, ces billes présentent plusieurs avantages par rapport aux solutions existantes, souvent coûteuses ou difficiles à recycler. Elles affichent une capacité d'adsorption élevée, y compris dans des conditions proches de celles de l'eau de mer, avec un pH légèrement basique. Autre atout : leur récupération. Comme elles restent à la surface, il est plus simple de les collecter après utilisation, limitant ainsi les impacts secondaires sur l'environnement. Reste désormais à passer du laboratoire au terrain. Les scientifiques souhaitent tester leur efficacité en conditions réelles, face à différents types d'hydrocarbures. Si les résultats se confirment, cette technologie pourrait ouvrir la voie à une dépollution plus durable… et plus respectueuse des océans. Hébergé par Acast.

Hey Voices from the Bench community! Jessica Love here, sending a shoutout from Utah! If you're passionate about creating natural, beautiful smiles—but want to simplify your workflow without sacrificing aesthetics—this is for you. I'm honored to be part of Ivoclar's development team introducing a powerful new stain and glaze system featuring Structure Paste, IPS e.max Ceram Art. Create stunning depth and lifelike color in as little as one firing. Let's continue to innovate, simplify, and create meaningful change—one smile at a time. CAM has been a major topic lately, and a lot of that conversation keeps coming back to hyperDENT. But instead of just talking about the software itself, it's worth looking at real-world experience. Imagine USA has been using hyperDENT in their own lab for over 15 years. That kind of longevity says a lot—they're not just selling and supporting it, they're relying on it in their own production every single day. That's what really sets them apart. This week, Elvis and Barb sits down with Katherine Steinbock-Dyke of Whip Mix to talk legacy, leadership, and the evolution of a family-run powerhouse in the dental industry. As part of the Steinbock lineage, Katherine shares what it was like growing up around the business—from selling Girl Scout cookies on the shop floor to eventually stepping into the CEO role. Her journey wasn't a straight line, starting instead in international business and corporate HR before finding her way back to Whip Mix and working her way through multiple roles across the company. The conversation dives into the realities of running a multi-generational company in a rapidly changing industry. Katherine talks about balancing tradition with innovation, from gypsum and articulators to digital workflows and resin development. She opens up about the challenges of staying relevant, the importance of continuous improvement (hello, WIN program), and what it really means to lead a team she genuinely cares about. Along the way, there's plenty of classic bench banter—everything from assembling pizzas at Papa John's to the chaos of early 3D printing workflows and navigating massive trade shows like IDS. The episode wraps with a look at where Whip Mix is headed, Katherine's focus on reconnecting with labs and customers, and how the next generation is shaping the future of dental manufacturing while respecting its roots.Special Guest: Katherine Steinbock-Dyke.

This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: C&G Holsters (Code: WLSISLIFE) Midwest Industries (Code: WLSISLIFE) Blue Alpha Bowers Group (Code: WLS) Otis Technology (Code: WELIKESHOOTING15) Guests: Jon Patton – https://guncon.net – NILES, OH BIG PUBLIC SHOW DAY JUNE 20th, 2026 Industry/VIP Events JUNE 17-20, 2026 Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171  Public https://welikeshooting.com/titles/ Dear WLS Question from Anonymous Coward from California WINNER People are looking at the ICE shooting all wro6vng. This is not a First Amendment issue. He wasn't peacefully protesting. There is plenty of video showing him actively blocking ICE vehicles before the shooting. That matters. This is also not a Second Amendment issue. He wasn't walking down the street, minding his business, and accidentally flashing a concealed carry gun. He was in direct physical conflict with law enforcement while armed. According to reporting, he had allegedly been “on duty” the week before, tracking ICE, and had been taken to the ground by agents, injuring his ribs. This time, when he went back “on duty,” he brought a gun. I understand why people instinctively hesitate to side with federal law enforcement. I really do. But if we're being honest, this situation demands a clear-eyed assessment—not emotional reflexes or ideological posturing. If the political alignment were reversed—if this were someone at a protest you agreed with—would you still argue the outcome was justified? In this case, my answer is still yes, the individual was at fault, regardless of ideology. As gun owners, we talk constantly about personal responsibility. That responsibility includes knowing what situations you do not escalate, especially when armed. A fight you cannot win is a fight against law enforcement officers when you are carrying a firearm. The moment you insert yourself into a physical confrontation with LEOs while armed, you are the one escalating the situation. Everyone knows this. This is not new. You are not going to win a solo fight against law enforcement. Period. Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from Connecticut From; Jaqin Ta'Sox: Dear WLS Man. Sorry. The 646 episode got me fired up. In regards to Nick at time stamp 108 minutes. ICE doesn't need warrants to arrest illegal immigrants, because all of the people they are looking for are here illegally and 100% have another type of Law Enforcement Interaction (dwi, domestic violence, etc.) The illegals that don't have other Law Enforcement Interaction are usually collateral arrests, because ICE goes looking for 1 and find 12 together. As far as the US Citizens that interact with ICE, yes they are 99% detained and released upon verification of status. The 1% that are arrested/hurt are the people who escalate the Interaction instead of cooperating, like Jeremy said. Question from Anonymous Coward from California Question for double tap I've noticed that Jeremy is a lot calmer now that Aaron has been gone is that a coincidence or does Aaron just drive him that crazy? Question from Sean's Weight Loss Coach from Pennsylvania Question for Double Tap: With the new Ruger/Marlin 1894 in 10mm and the Taylor's 1873 Winchester clone in 9mm it got me thinking – what changes are needed to handle the rimless cartridges vs the more traditional rimmed cartridges that lever guns of this style are more commonly chambered for? Extractor change on the bolt? Chamber cut to control headspace with the cartridge mouth instead of the rim? Why has it taken this long for traditional lever guns like these to be chambered in rimless cartridges? Most sincerely, Sean's Weight Loss Coach Question from Anonymous Coward from California For double tap This question is mainly for Jeremy since he he sounds like he has the most experience with the XD line from SA. I have an XD.40 what parts should I expect to replace first and how often should I be cleaning it because I've heard mixed opinions on cleaning firearms? Question from LieutenantRand from Michigan LieutenantRand Are power lines higher in Africa? Or are there cases of giraffes being electrocuted? Question from Typicalpnwguy from Washington Dear wls crew, At the end of DT 447 Jeremy said to “go fuck yourself” so I did. Apparently its wrong for me to do so at a customer's house while doing deliveries. Now Im fired, wife left me, my dog found another hooman, and all I have is my pvs14 & mk18 cqbr blaster. Since Jeremy got me fired & divorced can I move in with you and get a job at the range? I promise to shit on Aaron every chance I get.

️ “Wait… where did the liquid go?” That was my reaction about three seconds into a demonstration at a HazMat conference in Edmond, Oklahoma. This was my conversation with John Brinkman, President of Imbibitive Technologies. On the table in front of us was a container with some small white particles in it. They looked like salt or sugar grains. Nothing special. John picked up a bottle of paint thinner and poured it into the container. I expected the liquid to pool at the bottom. Instead…the liquid disappeared. Not evaporated. Not wiped up. The free liquid phase was gone in seconds. John smiled and said: “Once the liquid embibes into the polymer, the liquid phase is eliminated.” Here's what actually happened Those tiny particles were IMBIBER BEADS®. They're oil-sensitive superabsorbent polymers. Most people know superabsorbent polymers from disposable diapers, which absorb water. These beads do the opposite. They are engineered to absorb organic liquids like: • crude oil • gasoline • diesel • solvents …and they ignore water completely. The chemistry is wild Each bead is a solid polymer sphere roughly 150–400 microns in size (about a grain of salt). When hydrocarbons contact the bead: • the liquid diffuses into the polymer matrix • the bead swells several times its original size • the hydrocarbon becomes locked inside the polymer The result: No free liquid phase. Why that matters.. Most spill cleanup materials today are adsorbents — think polypropylene pads. They coat liquids on the surface. Meaning the hydrocarbon can still: • drip • spread • release vapors IMBIBER BEADS® eliminate the liquid phase, which can: • reduce secondary contamination • lower hazardous vapor off-gassing • simplify containment and recovery The craziest part? This chemistry was invented in 1968 by polymer chemist Dr. Richard Hall. More than 50 years ago. Today the technology is being applied to: • oil spill response • refinery containment • stormwater filtration • hazmat cleanup • oil-water separators Even more interesting… Hydrocarbons captured in the beads can be used in energy-from-waste systems producing 15,000+ BTUs per pound. Cleanup material → recoverable energy. This is why I love stepping outside the oil & gas silo. When chemists, engineers, hazmat responders, and energy operators collaborate…you discover technologies that change how problems get solved. Sometimes the most disruptive technology in the room…is a polymer bead smaller than a grain of salt. If you work in: • oil & gas • refining • pipeline response • hazmat • environmental remediation What applications could you see for something like this? Curious to hear your thoughts. www.imbiberbeads.com⁠� #Energy #OilAndGas #HazMat #EnvironmentalTech #SpillResponse #Engineering #PolymerScience #IndustrialSafety

Episode 280-Top 7 NJ Carry Guns Also Available OnSearchable Podcast Transcript Gun Lawyer — Episode Transcript Page – 1 – of 11 Gun Lawyer — Episode 280 Transcript SPEAKERS Speaker 3, Teddy Nappen, Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:17 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:19 and I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:21 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. Hey, Teddy, guess who finally quit smoking? Teddy Nappen 00:28 You quit smoking? Evan Nappen 00:30 No. The Ayatollah Khomeini. Teddy Nappen 00:32 Oh! Evan Nappen 00:35 There you go. Actually, the thing is, we’re now in a situation where you may have seen the warnings going out about an increased, seriously increased, threat of danger in the homeland. For the, who knows, how many that the Biden administration let in, actual terrorists on the terrorist watch list, and how many unknowns and got aways, and just all those folks that have infiltrated the country that they’re warning about sleeper cells and already starting to see some incidents occurring. And I think it’s fair to say that we all need to be very vigilant, and since most of us are folks that are armed, that carry, we become an important element in the defense of our country. Evan Nappen 01:39 So, I want to talk today about practical considerations regarding firearm carry guns in New Jersey. We want to talk about the guns that are appropriate and are really some of the top most popular carry guns in New Jersey. Now, none of this means these are guns we’re going to talk about that make it that. You know, if you choose to carry any gun that you like, that’s fine. None of this is critical of any firearm that you may be carrying. I just want to talk about ones. It was inspired to talk about this from an article I found in Breitbart. Now Breitbart’s article is the “Five Concealed Carry Guns First-Time Buyers Should Consider”. (https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2026/03/03/five-concealed-carry-guns-first-time-buyers-should-consider/) Page – 2 – of 11 Evan Nappen 02:30 and I want to. Teddy Nappen 02:32 Number one, Gyrojet pistol. Evan Nappen 02:34 Right. Definitely grab that old Gyrojet. Oh, my God. In case you don’t know what a Gyrojet is, it was, literally, a rocket firing pistol. It launched cartridges or bullets or projectiles, if you will, in a similar way that you fire rockets, not a bullet. So, it’s actually, a gyro jet gun is closer to an Iranian missile launcher, frankly, than a gun. But they were not a commercial success. They’re very collectible and fascinating. You can read more about Gyrojets online. I happen to own a Gyrojet as an example of a rocket pistol. But no, that’s not a gun I would suggest carrying in New Jersey. Evan Nappen 03:27 First of all, it’s too valuable just to carry, and the ammo is like incredibly hard to find. Each cartridge is very valuable as a collectible in and of itself. But here it is from Breitbart. Now this article is by AWR Hawkins, who’s an excellent gun writer, and as he begins the article, he says, with military action in Iran raging and concerns about staying safe stateside, we thought it would be helpful to put together a list of five concealed carry guns that first time buyers should consider. So, I’m going to, and that’s a good thought right now, what we’re dealing with. I’m going to modify from what he’s talking about, is just to carry guns in New Jersey, whether you’re first time or not a first time. There are advantages and disadvantages to a number of the firearms that they’re putting out, and we have to put in the concerns that we have in New Jersey. One of the primary concerns at the moment in New Jersey is, of course, that you can’t have a magazine that holds over 10 rounds. So, the handguns that we’re going to carry in New Jersey have to have a limitation in the magazine of 10 rounds. Now, that does not include one round in the chamber. So, in theory, you can have 10 rounds in a magazine and one round in the chamber, and you are legal in New Jersey for that carry gun. Evan Nappen 04:56 So, what happens is there are a number of handguns out there that, of course, are wonderful, wonderful guns. They are larger frame and normally hold standard magazine capacity definitely over 10 rounds. And you can start, you know, with just a Glock 19 that would have the standard magazine of 15 rounds. An excellent carry gun and super popular. But in New Jersey, putting aside, let’s just say the Glock 19 happens to fit your hand really well, and I understand that. But in reality, you’re carrying a gun that is larger than you necessarily need. Again, if it works for you, that’s fine, but it’s larger than you necessarily need, which makes it arguably somewhat less concealable. And yet you’re being limited in one of the nice features about it is that you could have the increased firepower of 15 rounds, but New Jersey stops you from that. So, you have to have a 10-round mag in your Glock 19, that’s a nine millimeter. Evan Nappen 06:04 So since New Jersey is forcing us to have 10 round mags, why not conform, at least to the degree of having a much more concealable, but just as deadly, more concealable handgun that would carry up to Page – 3 – of 11 the 10 rounds. And in our modern world today, there are a lot of excellent choices of, you know, nine millimeter and other calibers. But nine is primarily one of the most popular self-defense calibers out there at the moment that hold 10 rounds, but are very compact, very concealable. And the article lists these, and let’s talk about some. Some others that I’ll add in. Evan Nappen 06:57 They put as the number one, the Sig Sauer P365. So, the P365 is an excellent carry gun for sure, and it’s very compact. And as you know, Sig re-designed or created into the design. They designed a gun around the magazine so they could have a 10-round magazine and have a gun that is extremely compact. The P365 is striker fired, and it’s about, you know, 4.3 inches tall, about 5.8 inches long. It weighs in at about 17.8 ounces, and it comes with two 10-round mags. So, it’s New Jersey legal. There’s all kinds of you can get go MOS. It’s set up for that so you can have your sites if you get an MOS model. There are many different variations on the P365 that will have features that may fit you better. It’s a proven gun. So, it’s definitely one of the most popular and definitely a good choice for New Jersey. Evan Nappen 08:10 The next gun in the article is the Glock 43X and that’s also one of the most popular pistols in America. It’s single stack. So, what that means is the magazine loads one round on top of the other, as opposed to the SIG 365 which is kind of that double stack, where the rounds are kind of side by side in the magazine, filling it up as a box. Whereas the Glock is single, straight down in the line, and they do, and it does have a 10-round mag. The Glock is somewhat slightly larger. It’s about 6.5 inches long, and it’s about 1.1 inches in width, and about 5.04 inches in its height, tall. It weighs in at about 18.7 ounces. So, it’s a slightly heavier, slightly larger than the P365. But it’s very popular, very concealable, and it has a 10-round magazine. Evan Nappen 09:29 Now keep in mind that it’s possible for any of these guns, the Sig, or any of these two, of course, to have magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. But they’re essentially made from their creation as a 10-round gun, and that’s important in New Jersey. Because, at the moment, and hopefully this will go away, but at the moment, we’re restricted to that. So, having the concealable ability of being very, very stealthy and not being made, let’s say, as being a carrier. Because you’re concealing a firearm so well, you’re less likely to have printing and other issues where it can be kind of signaled to folks that you might be carrying, which is a good way to think when dealing with New Jersey. Because even though we have a carry permit, even though we’re legal to carry, discretion is still the word of the day. So, you want to remain discrete. Evan Nappen 10:27 Your best bet is for no one to know that you’re carrying in New Jersey, and that is both the cops and the criminals. We need to be discrete because we’ve experienced many times through the office that individuals, where their gun is somehow ID on the person, and even though they’re legal, maybe their shirt showed for a brief second, which the law actually understands can happen. It’s not a crime when that happens. But the next thing you know, police are called about somebody carrying a gun, or they believe someone has a gun, and it can escalate into all kinds of problems. So, the idea in New Jersey Page – 4 – of 11 is to be able to be armed and be armed to the max that the law allows us to be. But to keep the concealability factor and the discretion and discreteness very tight. We are NOT an open carry state. We want to make it so that that firearm gives you a tactical edge in the fact that should you need it, the use of it is, to a certain degree, giving you the advantage of surprise. So, keep that in mind. And so these guns are fitting that bill very nicely. Evan Nappen 11:42 Now the article also talks about the CZ P-10 C, which is a ported pistol. This is also a compact gun and also has the 10-round magazine. The CZ is interesting because the German army actually adopted this pistol model, you know, and so it has certain definite reliability. And a lot of folks like the ergonomics, but it, too, is polymer, and in the same kind of class as the 365 and the 43X. Again, it’s a good choice for New Jersey, should you like that gun. Now, the article talks about the Palmetto Dagger. Palmetto is a decent gun for the money. And let me tell you, they’re a bargain, that’s for sure. They are budget oriented, but they are, you know, they shoot. They’re reliable, they work and such. But the Palmetto Dagger is more along the lines of a Glock 19 and there, yeah, you can get a 10 round mag for it, and maybe you want the slightly, you know, somewhat larger frame, what we might call a medium frame. But in terms of its, you know, you can get more concealable with the other guns we’ve been talking about. It’s still a good gun out there. It’s a nice package, especially for the money. Palmetto puts out a gun that really is a bit of a bargain, honestly, for what they’re offering. But you don’t have the same compactness as the other firearms offer. Evan Nappen 13:36 And the fifth gun talked about in the article is a Ruger LCR polymer revolver. So, that is a revolver similar to, it’s essentially a snub nose .38. But in Polymer, it still can handle the plus P 38. Some folks might prefer a revolver to a semi-auto pistol. Of course, the rounds get less. You’re probably talking here about a five shot and such. But it is an excellent firearm for what it is. If you’re, if you want a wheel gun for its simplicity, it doesn’t leave cartridge cases lying around, or whatever. A revolver may be your way to go. Now, in terms of that type of revolver, the Ruger is good gun. But I happen to have a personal love of the J frame Smith, of the Smith & Wesson. You know, the J frame class, which includes the model, the original, of course, is the 36 or the Chief Special, and you get into all the variations of the J frame, on that J frame. There’s a lot of other snub .38 out there that Smith makes that would also fill the bill. These revolvers are affectionately known as pocket rockets, and they’re good guns. So, if you’re a revolver person, if you’re looking for something concealable, there are plenty of great revolvers. But if we’re talking concealability, then this is a classic. The Ruger and the Smith would fit that bill in snub nose .38. It would give you features that a revolver offers. Teddy Nappen 15:29 If the whole, I would say, for the whole article is supposed to be the idea of people like this is your first gun to buy. Like that was kind of the main focus. I lean off of for Ruger, like the very first revolver I ever got, the GP 100. That was very like, yeah, learn to work with right yourself. Evan Nappen 15:47 And revolvers are good for that. But here, the article in Breitbart is about, like, your first gun. And getting into that. I get it. But what I’m looking at here is taking this article and talking about, not Page – 5 – of 11 necessarily that it’s your first gun, but looking at guns that meet the criteria under New Jersey law, that are effective for carry, that can get you the concealability. And yeah, you know, they’re bigger revolvers that can fire even more powerful, so that you can bump up easier to a .357. You get a four inch barrel or a six inch barrel revolver and have a full size frame. Really be able to put some powerful loads, get some great target shooting and great experience. There’s something to be said for that. But when it comes to carry, we’re looking for the concealability and the stopping power. We’re looking for the ability to conform to New Jersey law and remain discrete. Evan Nappen 16:44 One of the other guns that I would like to talk about that is not mentioned in the article, but one that I happen to particularly like, is the Shadow Systems CR920 Elite. (https://shadowsystemscorp.com/cr920/) So, if you haven’t seen a Shadow System CR920, that gun is pricier, for sure. But it is really a great gun, and it is nine millimeters well as a 10-round mag. So, it fits the bill for New Jersey. They have a lot of features on it that kind of make it a highly upgraded Glock 43X to be honest. It’s very similar in the size. In fact, the holsters that would take a Glock 43X will actually work perfectly with a with the Shadow System CR920. So, it’s something to consider. If you ever had a chance to shoot shadow systems, you’ll know what I’m talking about. It is definitely a bit of an upgrade and a gun that I personally like, but all these guns will be able to serve you well and be able to protect you and your loved ones. Evan Nappen 18:03 And you can know that you can carry them lawfully under New Jersey law with your permit to carry. You stay concealed and discreet in your carry and that’s the way we as New Jersey gun carriers need to be. So, this is something to consider when talking about guns that you carry. And again, there are so many other great handguns, great calibers. None of this is saying that any of these are any better than anybody else’s. You have to look at your needs and what you want, what your budget and what you can afford. But stick to the key principles. That is that you practice, that you shoot it well, that you exercise safety, that you know the laws, that you stick to being discrete, discretion is key in New Jersey. So that you don’t end up having to call me, even though you are 100% innocent, but now we have to deal with the legal situation. You’re best bet is to do what I’m saying. Be discreet and protect yourself in that manner. Hey, let me. Teddy Nappen 18:05 Or have them all put in for the CMP, and you can carry a piece of history with yourself. Evan Nappen 18:49 Yeah, right. Well, if you want to get a nice 1911. We’re definitely upping the game here. And nothing wrong with carrying the 1911, but it is definitely a much larger firearm and very powerful, very reliable. I love my 1911. Who doesn’t? But, you know, this is a different way of thinking when it’s coming to protecting yourself. And of course, you still can max out to the 10 rounds easily with this in a compact package. So, that’s what makes these nice. Page – 6 – of 11 Evan Nappen 19:13 If you want to check out any of these guns and you want to get your practice and your training and even your certifications, well, we know no place better than WeShoot. WeShoot is a gun range in Lakewood. That’s where Teddy and I shoot, and we got our certification. They have guns there that you can try. They’ll be able to set you up with your perfect concealed carry gun and get you the training. Help you get your license as well by getting the qualifications that you need. And this is also part of the package. So, when you want to become a defender and stay a defender, you need to have the training. You need to have a place to practice, a place to shoot. And WeShoot does that very thing. They’re an indoor range in Lakewood, conveniently off the Parkway. A great place right there in Central New Jersey. So you want to check out WeShoot at weshootusa.com. Go to their website. They will absolutely be able to set you up perfectly with a firearm that meets your needs, especially in this environment where we are at war with the number one sponsor of terror. Evan Nappen 20:50 And, folks, I would find it hard to believe that they have not preempted our ability to defend ourselves by having sleeper cells and other agents that are in our country that we should expect will be looking to wreak havoc and chaos. And, you know, this was done under the, with the eyes closed of the Biden administration, primarily. President Trump for trying to clean up that, that mess that allowed that to happen, and he’s currently engaged in changing the world, changing the world where we can make such a huge difference. And it’s finally President. You know, I’ve been, as many of you have lived through 47 years of Iranian Islamic fundamentalism, terror, and all the things that it brought upon us. And it may finally, finally, be coming to an end. But it isn’t over yet, and it may very well come down to your ability and my ability, our ability, to defend ourselves right here at home. And luckily, the expansion of our ability to carry because of Bruen and forcing the issuance of carry permits, gives us this opportunity to be able to do something that, you know, half a dozen years ago, we would not have even been able to do in New Jersey. And that’s carry to protect ourselves in the face of a national security threat to our homeland. So, take advantage of that and check out weshootusa.com for your firearm needs. Evan Nappen 21:12 Let me also mention our good friends at the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. They are the state affiliate of the NRA. They are the folks fighting for our rights in Trenton and in the courts. Hopefully they’ll get that magazine ban finally overturned. We’re looking cautiously optimistic at that. So we’ll be able to actually have guns to carry more than 10 rounds. When that happens, we’ll be able to buy larger capacity magazines for our highly concealable nines that we’re currently carrying, and that will give us even more ability to defend ourselves and our loved ones and our in our country, for that matter. So the Association is hard at work. Go to anjrpc.org so you can join and be part of the solution. You’ll get email alerts. You’ll be told what shenanigans are going on down in Trenton and what case law changes are taking place. So, check out anjrpc.org, the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. Evan Nappen 24:28 And while you’re at it, make sure you pick up a copy of my book, New Jersey Gun Law. It’s the bible of New Jersey gun law. It’s over 500 pages, 120 topics, all question and answer. Make sure you have a Page – 7 – of 11 copy of that book so you can keep your gun rights and not end up in jail and turned into what I call a law-abiding criminals because of New Jersey’s insanity of gun laws. I tried to create this very user-friendly manual. Go to EvanNappen.com, EvanNappen.com, and pick up your copy today. Teddy, what do you have to share with us today in Press Checks? Teddy Nappen 25:09 Well, as you know, Press Checks are always free and well, we can all see right now that Trump’s Operation Epic Fury is going well. It’s already met multiple of the objectives and frankly, the level of damage that we have just taken out the entire Iranian Navy and the multiple sites they have hit and taking out not only the Ayatollah, the Ayatollah’s successor, who was there for seven minutes. You know, just here’s your hat, and he’s gone. And then the successor’s successor. It’s just, their leadership has been toppled. And this really sets the tone and level and power that the U.S. has. And all it took was having someone actually with the will to act. So, just going off of that, I was scrolling through AmmoLand, and I saw a very interesting article that made a good point. And this is by they just said the AmmoLand Staff. “Iran’s Power Vacuum Highlights the Importance of an Armed Citizenry”. (https://www.ammoland.com/2026/03/irans-power-vacuum-highlights-the-importance-of-an-armed-citizenry/) Teddy Nappen 26:28 So, they were referencing from the Citizens Committee for Right to Keep and Bear Arms, where they put out a press release talking about how the Iranian people’s lack of the most important safeguard of liberty that the Americans possess, the right to keep and bear arms. The Chairman of the group, Alan Gottlieb, says that Iran does not have the equivalent of our sacred Second Amendment. The Iranian people need it bad. And highlighting to what the Founding Fathers believed were the Second Amendment is the safeguard to a tyrannical rule. Everyone can agree that Iran was a tyrannical rule. It was a theocracy ran by radical, crazy clerics. You know that, and I just love every time the Left. You know the hands off Iran, Free Maduro like that. It just shows you the level of disingenuousness from the part from that party. Teddy Nappen 27:30 But just to highlight the fact, for those of you who may be living under a rock, the Iran regime has ruled for more than four decades with authoritarianism. Suppressing dissidents, jailing critics, killing them also, and slaughtering protesters. They actually were importing in Iraqi militia groups to just start gunning down protesters after Trump had taken out the, and as the protests were breaking out in Iran, prior to Epic Fury. So, as was also stated, the symbol and freedom in our nation, the symbol and freedom in a nation of slaves is the gun. Because it enshrines the ability for the people to keep the Government in check. Again, I always hear the stupid Leftist argument like, oh yeah, you really think your Second Amendment is going to help you against the F15s or the United States military? Give me a break. Every single one of us who are able to carry, it would be one of the largest standing armies in our country. Teddy Nappen 28:38 And also, I love how they make that argument. And also say, you know, an unarmed group of protesters about to overthrow the Government. So, you know. But, you know, they keep referencing Page – 8 – of 11 January 6, like it’s Chris, like it’s a Christmas holiday. But the point being is that the Second Amendment keeps these things in check. Because right now, that was the whole push, was to have the people rise up against their oppressors. Imagine what would have happened if all the Iranian people actually had access to firearms? I actually pulled the laws. So, I went and see like, okay, what was it? What was it like? What were the ways of getting people to, if you wanted to buy a gun and you were an Iranian citizen in Iran, what would you do? And it seems they’ve modeled themselves off of New Jersey. You have to obtain a gun license in Iran, and it involves several steps, including a background check, psychological examination, and firearm safety course. You have to apply for your gun permit at your local police station. They have to do criminal record, military service status, complete a psychological evaluation to ensure mental stability, taking a firearm safety course and passing a written practical exam, pay your fees, of course, and wait to be approved. So, if you do everything else, you have to be approved by higher authorities, which could take several months. Evan Nappen 30:03 It isn’t that far from what New Jersey actually requires. Jersey is virtually the Iranian totalitarian state of gun laws. Teddy Nappen 30:17 Yeah, and also, it is illegal to possess a firearm without the proper licensing, which is punishable by imprisonment and fines. Carrying a firearm without a license is punishable up to three years in prison. Evan Nappen 30:31 Wait. Only three years? In New Jersey, you can go for 10 years. So, they’re actually a little more reasonable in Iran than in New Jersey. Teddy Nappen 30:42 Yeah. And also, this is something that people need to remember. We are a nation of firearms. Firearms are enshrined in our culture. They cannot take that away, as much as the Left tries to propagandize us out of it. To give you a perspective. In Iran, this is cited from gunpolicy.org. In 2017 it was about 3.5 firearms per 100 residents, as opposed to in 2017 there are 120 firearms per 100 residents in the United States. And that was in 2017. So, imagine actually having the accessibility for firearms, actually having the ability to rise up if you ever needed to. That’s why you have all the Leftists right now flocking the gun shops, trying to buy firearms. Evan Nappen 31:30 Well, the latest, the latest numbers, we have over 500 million privately owned firearms in America. Yep, over 500 million. Teddy Nappen 31:42 We have to get those numbers up. Evan Nappen 31:43 I agree. Page – 9 – of 11 Teddy Nappen 31:44 Yes. Evan Nappen 31:44 Let’s hit that 1 billion mark. Let’s work on it, folks. Teddy Nappen 31:47 This isn’t and also this isn’t a vacuum. When you look at other dictatorships, this is the first step. This is what they do. You have to disarm the populace because they do not want any rising up, any resistance groups or militias, when you’re being an authoritarian regime. And cut to another one of Trump’s highlights of Venezuela. What did you, under the Venezuelan Government, another authoritarian regime, where they also made it nearly impossible to get firearms. Where you could apply for a license to the Venezuelan armed forces. Of course, you need a background check, training requirements, inspections. But here’s the kicker. In 2012 the Venezuelan Government suspends all legal firearm sales to private citizens. Evan Nappen 32:39 Hmm. Why would they do that? Teddy Nappen 32:41 Yeah, I wonder why? Oh, in their words, combating criminal organizations and preventing weapons from falling into the wrong hands. Evan Nappen 32:53 It wouldn’t happen to do with who was in power politically at that time? Teddy Nappen 32:58 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Former leader Maduro, no, guar, no, guar. Yeah. And also, they try to make like, there’s no explicit law banning firearm ownership, just a suspension on firearms of private citizens. I know they’re so reasonable. Oh, and they are required to register all their firearms with the Government. Oh, hmmm. I wonder why? It’s the, it’s the disingenuousness on the Left for why the Second Amendment is so important. Evan Nappen 33:37 Well, let’s answer that question for folks. And that’s because the Registration leads to the Confiscation, and that’s what registration is all about. Why do we fight registration? Because it is a step toward confiscation. Then after confiscation comes the political reality of a extermination. We’ve seen every major Holocaust preceded by these very steps when it comes to private ownership of firearms. Teddy Nappen 34:09 Yeah, and cut to any of the European countries that have just disarmed themselves. Cut to the United Kingdom, with their rapes going from 12,000 a year to 70,000 a year. Page – 10 – of 11 Evan Nappen 34:20 I mean, there’s a reason we did lend lease, and reason why they put ads in the American riflemen to please send guns to England. They even disarm themselves in the face of having to face a Nazi terror. And here, they don’t learn. They don’t learn from their prior mistakes. They continuously repeat them. Evan Nappen 34:40 Well, when they were good and ready, they were done with Winston Churchill, and they said, oh, we don’t need you anymore. That’s how it always goes. And then when things come around, they’re going to need a Churchill. And maybe, just maybe, they might learn their lesson this time. But for now, the Left, gun control will forever be the losing argument on the Left. That is a fact. They will occasionally jump out whenever there’s a mass shooting, but in this point in time, that issue is effectively won on our side. We have to be vigilant, though. Because they always try to sneak things in and go off the, unfortunately, the emotional side of our country, who just do not think logically and actually apply and try to think, oh, what would happen if we take away all these firearms? Is this actually going to solve the problem? Evan Nappen 35:37 Well, in Iran, it’s a shame that people aren’t armed, because they’d be able to take action now, especially with the efforts that the U.S. has already done to their infrastructure, militarily and politically. Right? Teddy Nappen 35:58 I want the CIA to do the, you know, the black book, and just start dropping them, like the leaflets. The ways how to like, to make the gun out of the soup can. Evan Nappen 36:10 Right. Yeah. Teddy Nappen 36:12 Or the traps you could make where it was literally, like, what is it like us use like you make a bomb out of like piss and aspirin. Evan Nappen 36:23 Hmmm. True. Well, Teddy, I want to talk about our very important segment of GOFU. GOFU is the Gun Owner Fuck Up. And the reason we talk about this is it’s expensive lessons that others have endured, that you get to learn very reasonably. You get to learn it for free from Gun Lawyer radio. So, this week, I want to talk about, and these are actual cases that come through our office that we see all the time. This has to do with lost or stolen firearm in New Jersey. You need to know that New Jersey has a law that if your firearm is lost or stolen, okay? Lost or stolen. You must report it to local law enforcement within 36 hours. So, you have a 36 hour window to report a lost or stolen firearm. You must report it to the chief law enforcement officer of the municipality where the theft occurred. Or if there’s no local police, to the State Police. Page – 11 – of 11 Evan Nappen 37:40 Now, once you report a gun as stolen or lost, there can be further ramifications on you. And I want to talk about the ramifications if you fail to report it. Let’s keep this in mind. If you fail to report a stolen gun, it is a civil penalty of $500 for the first offense. So, it is technically not a crime. It’s not necessarily. It’s quasi criminal for failing to report the stolen firearm. It’s a civil penalty of $500 for the first offense and $1000 for subsequent offenses. So, your failure to report puts you in that category. It’s not as if there is a potential jail sentence if you fail to report. Now, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t report, necessarily, but I’m telling you what the actual penalty is. So, what happens when you report? When you report, you need to provide the make and model and serial number. Evan Nappen 38:42 But then we see ramifications from the reporting where then they may try to move, they being the Government, to take your gun licenses. Revoke your carry permit, revoke your firearms ID card, because they try to then claim that you fall under the category of Public Health, Safety, and Welfare as a danger or problem under that category. And that is it because you didn’t exercise proper care and had your gun stolen, which is, of course, how can, you know, the actions of a third party, being the thief, end up taking not just your gun but your gun rights? But New Jersey never misses an opportunity to do that. So, you need to keep in mind that even though the law requires a reporting, you may end up, from the reporting, having to have a battle over keeping your firearm license. Evan Nappen 39:38 If this happens to you, where you believe a gun is lost or stolen, the best thing to do is call an attorney right away and work through the very specific issues that may be present in your case. How it got stolen, how it gets reported as stolen, if you choose to report it as stolen. These are all issues that you want to have attorney / client confidentiality and discuss, because there can be escalation, and there can be ramifications. Then if there’s a failure to report, of course, and the gun comes up used in a crime, what are the implications from that? There’s a whole array of issues that need to be considered if you are dealing with a lost or stolen firearm. Evan Nappen 40:28 This is Evan Nappen and Teddy Nappen reminding you that gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.

This work was published in a recent issue of NPJ Flexible Electronics.

In this episode of ZERT Coffee & Chaos, we take a hard look at an uncomfortable truth: the firearms and Second Amendment community often does more damage to itself than any outside opposition ever could. Instead of focusing on unity, education, and protecting our shared rights, too many voices in the space are locked in endless, petty battles—arguing over brand loyalty, tearing down new firearm models, and attacking each other over preferences that ultimately do not matter. Polymer versus metal. Striker versus hammer. This release versus that release. The cycle never ends, and progress never begins. We break down how this lack of evolution in mindset is stalling growth, fracturing the community, and distracting from what actually matters: preserving the Second Amendment, welcoming new shooters, and presenting a united front in a time when unity has never been more critical. This episode is not about calling people out—it is about calling people up. If we want the firearms community to survive, grow, and be taken seriously, it is time to stop the infighting, stop the noise, and start acting like a community that understands what is truly at stake.

Synopsis: Host Rahul Chaturvedi sits down with Geoffrey Duyk, Chief Executive Officer of Grove Biopharma, for a wide-ranging conversation on navigating today's biotech macro headwinds and building companies that can translate breakthrough science into real patient impact. Dr. Duyk traces his journey from Harvard/Millennium/Exelixis operator to TPG investor and back to company creation, explaining how board dynamics, capital cycles, and policy shifts shape execution. They dig into why this cycle feels uniquely tough—patent cliffs, reimbursement uncertainty, NIH pressures—and who funds innovation in the meantime. Duyk outlines root causes of R&D inefficiency (misaligned capital vs. 20-year timelines, shaky preclinical predictability, costly trials, underused real-world data) and makes the case for rebuilding public trust and STEM education. Then, a deep dive on Grove Biopharma: precision polymer science that creates antibody-like, fully synthetic, cell-permeable protein mimetics to tackle historically “intractable” intracellular protein–protein interactions. Duyk shares design principles, why modular/orthogonal chemistry matters, predictable pharmacology, and lessons from fundraising and board management—plus why he's helping grow a Chicago-centered biotech ecosystem.

Yasir Ali, CEO of Polymer, discusses the shortcomings of current security frameworks, emphasizing their outdated nature and lack of real verification. He argues that many organizations still rely on signed statements without providing tangible evidence of compliance with security controls. This disconnect has become increasingly problematic, especially with the rise of AI and the need for more robust data protection measures. Ali highlights that the traditional approach of simply stating compliance is no longer sufficient in a landscape where data privacy and security are paramount.Ali suggests that the solution lies in a more evidence-based approach to security frameworks. He advocates for organizations to provide real-time evidence of their security practices, particularly in relation to how customer data is handled and used. This includes demonstrating that customer data is not being misused for AI training purposes. He believes that the industry needs to move beyond mere documentation and focus on actual compliance and security practices that can be verified.The conversation also touches on the role of customers in demanding better security practices from service providers. While Ali acknowledges that end customers often feel overlooked, he points out that larger organizations, such as banks, have begun to push back against vendors to ensure their data is protected. He emphasizes that smaller businesses must take responsibility for their own data security, as the regulatory environment in the U.S. is not providing sufficient oversight.As AI adoption accelerates through SaaS products, Ali expresses concern about the new vulnerabilities that may arise. He notes that many organizations are integrating AI tools into their existing systems without fully understanding the implications for data security. Polymer aims to address these challenges by providing tools that enhance data security and compliance within SaaS environments, ensuring that organizations can protect their sensitive information while leveraging the benefits of AI.

In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie chats with Matthew Cowley, a North America Sales Manager: Spectroline Leak Detection (Industrial & HVAC/R) at Spectronics Corporation, about the truth behind internal sealants used in HVAC systems. They explain how older polymer-based sealants caused problems due to chemical reactions, while new oil-based ones work safely with mechanical action. Matthew and Gary talk about how oil-based sealants coat leak areas from the inside without clogging or damaging parts. They also share stories from real HVAC jobs, testing tips, and why more people are starting to trust this modern sealant method. Matthew Cowley explains how modern oil-based sealants are safer for HVAC systems than old polymer ones. He shares how these sealants coat tiny leaks from inside without hardening or clogging parts. Matthew talks about how they need pressure, heat, and small leak spots to work well. He also explains why these sealants don't hide damage but help prevent bigger leaks. Gary adds real job stories showing how these sealants fixed small leaks without harming systems. They both agree that with testing and care, this method can save time, money, and prevent future service calls. Here, Matthew explains how oil-based sealants work safely by coating leaks from the inside without reacting to air. Like using oil between gears, it seals without blocking flow. He talks about how these sealants need heat, pressure, and tiny leak spots to work well. Matthew warns that they won't fix big leaks, but are great for small, hard-to-find ones. Gary adds that testing over time shows no damage to systems. They remind techs that using sealant with care can help avoid repeat leaks and keep systems running quietly and smoothly. Expect to Learn: Why old polymer sealants cause damage in HVAC systems. How oil-based sealants work without hardening or clogging. Why are these sealants best for tiny, hard-to-find leaks? How real job testing shows they don't harm compressors. Why careful use can help stop leaks and avoid callbacks. Episode Highlights: [00:00] - Intro to Matthew Cowley in Part 1 [02:10] - Story of polymer sealants and compressor failure [04:28] - Polymer vs. oil-based sealants explained simply [06:00] - Real job testing and honest sealant results [07:25] - How tiny leaks are found and sealed internally [09:21] - How oil-based sealants coat and seal from inside [13:12] - Parts per million tests show shrinking leak rates [14:51] - Automotive use and why OEMs trust this tech [17:00] - Why some HVAC pros now add sealant on install [20:30] - OEM trust proves sealants work This Episode is Kindly Sponsored by: Master: https://www.master.ca/ Cintas: https://www.cintas.com/ Supply House: https://www.supplyhouse.com/ Cool Air Products: https://www.coolairproducts.net/ Follow the Guest Matthew Cowley on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-cowley-74a815a4/ Spectronics Corporation: https://www.linkedin.com/company/spectronics/ Follow the Host: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-mccreadie-38217a77/ Website: https://www.hvacknowitall.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/HVAC-Know-It-All-2/61569643061429/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hvacknowitall1/
