Combination guns generally use rimmed cartridges, as rimless cartridges are usually more difficult to extract from a break-action firearm.

Friedel's salt
Friedel's salt is an anion exchanger mineral belonging to the family of the layered double hydroxides (LDHs). It has affinity for anions as chloride and iodide and is capable of retaining them to a certain extent in its crystallographical structure.

Layered double hydroxides
Layered double hydroxides (LDH) are a class of ionic solids characterized by a layered structure with the generic layer sequence [AcB Z AcB]n, where c represents positively charged layers of metal cations, A and B are layers of hydroxide (OH−) anions, and Z are interlayers filled by various anions (ensuring the electroneutrality of the system) and neutral molecules such as water.  Lateral offsets between the layers may result in longer repeating periods.

The intercalated anions (Z) are weakly electrostatically bound, often exchangeable; their intercalation properties have scientific interest and industrial applications.

LDHs occur in nature as minerals, as byproducts of the metabolism of certain bacteria, and also unintentionally in man-made contexts (e.g., archaeological sites), such as the products of corrosion of metallic artefacts.

Producer gas
Producer gas is a fuel gas manufactured by blowing air and steam simultaneously through a coke or coal fire. It mainly consists of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), as well as substantial amounts of nitrogen (N2). The caloric value of the producer gas is low (mainly because of its high nitrogen content), and the technology is obsolete.  Improvements over producer gas, also obsolete, include water gas, where the solid fuel is treated intermittently with air and steam, and, far more efficiently, synthesis gas, where the solid fuel is replaced with methane.

In the US, producer gas may also be referred to by other names based on the fuel used for production, such as wood gas. Producer gas may also be referred to as suction gas, referring to the way the air was drawn into the gas generator by an internal combustion engine.

Syngas
Syngas, or synthesis gas, is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in various ratios.  The gas often contains some carbon dioxide and methane.   It is principally used for producing ammonia or methanol. Syngas is combustible and can be used as a fuel. Historically, it has been used as a replacement for gasoline when gasoline supply has been limited; for example, wood gas was used to power cars in Europe during WWII (in Germany alone, half a million cars were built or rebuilt to run on wood gas).

Naturalization of Li Duan Wang

Wang's naturalization bid was first started in 2023 at the House of Representatives. It was endorsed to the Senate  in 2025 where it was supported by every Senator, except Risa Hontiveros who questioned Wang's association with Duanren Wu who allegedly ran illegal operations on POGOs.

President Bongbong Marcos vetoed the bill which would have granted Wang, Philippine citizenship.

Philippine offshore gaming operator
Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs), renamed Internet gaming licensees (IGLs) in October 2023, are firms operating in the Philippines that offer online gambling services to markets outside the country, with a significant portion catering to the Chinese market. POGOs began operating in the Philippines in 2003.

They have been regulated by the Philippine government since 2016, at the start of Rodrigo Duterte's presidency. During this period, the industry flourished and generated significant revenues for the Philippine government. POGOs were eventually banned and declared illegal by President Bongbong Marcos.

HTTP ETag
The ETag or entity tag is part of HTTP, the protocol for the World Wide Web. It is one of several mechanisms that HTTP provides for Web cache validation, which allows a client to make conditional requests. This mechanism allows caches to be more efficient and saves bandwidth, as a Web server does not need to send a full response if the content has not changed. ETags can also be used for optimistic concurrency control to help prevent simultaneous updates of a resource from overwriting each other.

An ETag is an opaque identifier assigned by a Web server to a specific version of a resource found at a URL. If the resource representation at that URL ever changes, a new and different ETag is assigned. Used in this manner, ETags are similar to fingerprints and can quickly be compared to determine whether two representations of a resource are the same.

Web cache
A web cache (or HTTP cache) is a system for optimizing the World Wide Web. It is implemented both client-side and server-side. The caching of multimedia and other files can result in less overall delay when browsing the Web.
