Jenks-Merrill Navy Carbine - Extremely Rare
- Product Code: FLA-3319-SOLD
- Availability: Out Of Stock
During the mid to late 1800s, the US Navy utilized a series of unique and innovative small arms in an attempt to find the most effective design for a rifle or carbine for service aboard ship. Among the more interesting and unconventional of those weapons was the Jenks Navy Carbine, often referred to by collectors as the Mule Ear, and produced by the N.P. Ames company of Springfield, MA, and later by the Remington Arms Company of Herkimer, NY. Only 4,250 of these interesting breech loading percussion carbines were produced by Ames between the years of 1843-1846, with an additional 1,000 manufactured by Remington during 1847-1848, incorporating the Maynard Patent tape priming system. The gun featured the Jenks patent breech loading system, a Mule Ear, side-hammer percussion lock system, and a .54 caliber, 24 ““ round barrel that was initially smoothbore. Not long after the initial carbines were delivered, a rifled bore with six narrow grooves was adopted. As originally designed, the carbines had a round loading aperture through which loose powder was loaded from a powder flask, followed by a round ball. The Navy soon adopted self-contained paper cartridges with the powder and ball contained in a combustible paper wrapping. As a result, the Navy modified most of the loading apertures from round to oval, to accept the new cartridges. Very few Jenks carbines escaped this modification, and as a result the original “round hole” carbines are extremely rare today. During the decade leading up to the American Civil War, the Jenks naval carbines saw significant service on sea going US Naval vessels. They were a standard part of the small arms compliment of the US Navy screw frigates that were outfitted and sent to see between 1856 and 1858, including the USS Wabash, Colorado, Niagara, Minnesota and the ill-fated Merrimack, which would later be captured and become the Confederate iron-class CSS Virginia. Jenks carbines would also be part of the small arms stores of the US Navy vessels San Jacinto, Levant, Water Witch, Jamestown and John Adams. Due to more than a decade in service, and the fact that repeated firing often caused the breech mechanism to foul, the US Navy had started to actively search for a replacement for the Jenks carbine during the late 1850s, and had already tested breechloading arms from makers like Sharps and Perry, adopting them in limited quantities. The would also contract for small numbers of breechloaders from Burnside and Joslyn on September 9, 1859, as well as for some revolving longarms from Colt. As part of this on-going program to modernize their small arms inventory, and possibly with an eye towards keeping the upgrades as cost effective as possible, the Navy had started to experiment with another modification to the Jenks carbine. During 1858 James H. Merrill has approached the Navy offering to modify existing Jenks carbines to his newly patented breechloading mechanism. Merrill had also made the same offer to the US Army, and during 1861-1862 would alter about 100 each of the US M-1842 musket, 1841 Rifle and 1847 carbine to his breechloading system.
In many ways the system was similar to the Jenks with a long, top mounted breech lever that was pulled back to reveal the loading aperture and that incorporated a plunger that seated the cartridge in the chamber when the lever was loaded. Like the original Jenks design, the Merrill system relied upon the conventional percussion cap for ignition. The primary improvements in the Merrill system were that the breech lever locked more securely, the brass plunger provided improved obturation (gas sealing) and the conventional side mounted hammer was much easier to manipulate than the Jenks “mule ear” design. During the alteration process, Merrill plugged the original Jenks loading hole, machined a new breech opening, removed the Jenks breech lever and installed the new Merrill lever. Because the other loading aperture had to be plugged, the alteration was only preformed on un-altered Jenks carbines with round, rather than oval, holes. Merrill also installed a new rear sight that was similar to the US M-1858 sight, but which incorporated an extended base with a raised catch at the rear to engaged the spring latch in the top of the breech lever. A conventional percussion hammer was also added, along with the oblong Merrill percussion bolster with a clean out screw. The initial testing of the Merrill alterations went well enough that the Navy decided on September 20, 1859, eleven days after placing their orders with Burnside, Joslyn and Colt. The price for Merrill to modify the guns was $10 each, about half of what a patent breechloading carbine was selling for immediately prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. It seems clear that some level of parsimoniousness was motivating the Navy’s high command. The initial delivery of 294 Merrill altered Jenks carbines was made in September of 1860, and the inspection of the arms did not go well. It was found that the Merrill cartridge did not combust reliably and even worse, when the carbines were struck on the butt (for example, when the guns were brought to “Order, Arms”) the breech levers would open! The guns were rejected and returned to Merrill for the necessary repairs and modifications to address their shortcomings. Merrill completed the work in January of 1861, and on 19th, US Navy Lieutenant Wainwright traveled to Baltimore to inspect the guns. The inspection went well, with the primary issue of the breech lever catch having been resolved. Wainwright passed 240 carbines and accepted them for service. It is unclear what happened to the other 54 guns from the original 1860 delivery. They may not have been completed at the time of Wainwrights visit, or possibly they did not pass his second inspection. In either case, only 240 of the Jenks-Merrill carbines were officially accepted for service, and the project was subsequently cancelled with no other orders being placed. At about this time the Navy had already decided to remove Jenks carbines from service, as newer, better designs were becoming available. However, the firing on Fort Sumter in April of 1861 and the outbreak of the American Civil War found the Navy under prepared, under supplied and under armed for the conflict. The lack of available small arms caused the Navy to reverse their decision, and maintain the Jenks in inventory for issue when other breechloading carbines were not available. Jenks-Merrill Carbines were issued as part of the small arms inventory of the sloop USS Richmond, which received 20 of the guns, and the gunboat Michigan, which received 25. The guns were also shown in the inventory of the New York Navy Yard in April of 1861. Testing by the officers of the Richmond found that the original problems that had plagued the Jenks-Merrill carbines had not been sufficiently corrected. Cartridge ignition was still problematic, although the officers attributed it to weak mainsprings that were “not sufficiently strong to explode a percussion cap by the first blow of the hammer.” The problem with the breeches opening when the butt was struck had not been resolved either. A new issue was also discovered. The half-cock notch was not sufficiently high to allow capping the carbine, which meant the gun had to be primed at full-cock, and the hammer then lowered to the half-cock notch. This was a tricky enough procedure on dry land and could often result in an unintentional discharge. At sea, such a delicate procedure was almost impossible to perform. Despite the shortcomings of the Jenks-Merrill Carbines, at least some were still in service as late as March of 1864, when the small arms inventory of the Michigan listed the original 25 carbines that had been issued to the gunboat in early 1861. This is somewhat interesting as by the middle or end of 1862 most of the Jenks carbines in naval service replaced by more modern breechloading carbines like the Sharps, Sharps & Hankins and Spencers, or more conventional muzzleloading arms like the Whitney Navy Rifle (aka “Plymouth”) or even imported Enfield rifles and muskets. I found John D. McAulay’s Civil War Small Arms of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps invaluable in preparation of the history of this piece, as very little information is available about the Jenks-Merrill alterations, particularly their issue and use after the handful of carbines was finally accepted.
Offered here an extremely rare Jenks-Merrill Navy Carbine, one of the 240 that were eventually accepted by the Navy in January of 1861, and which would see at least some limited service during the American Civil War. The very scarce gun is in about VERY GOOD+ to NEAR FINE overall condition. It retains some traces of its original lacquer brown finish on the barrel, which has faded and worn and appears to have been mixed with some old applied finish and possibly some more recent toning. The general effect is a somewhat blotchy gray and brown patina with some dull bluish-gray tones. It is generally believed that the Merrill modified Jenks carbines were at least partially refinished during the alteration process, as most surviving examples do not retain their lock markings, and the finish of the guns is usually somewhat non-standard, with the locks generally a dull blue-gray rather than their original Jenks configuration color case hardened appearance. As noted, the traces of finish on the barrel have mixed with an oxidized brownish patina, as well as some old finish and possibly some more recent chemical toning, giving it a sort of splotchy appearance under strong light. The barrel is mostly smooth, with only some very lightly scattered areas of pinpricking and minor pitting, most of which is around the breech area and appears to be from the original period of use. There are couple of minor dings on the barrel as well, with the most obvious impact mark behind the upper barrel band. The lock, Merrill percussion hammer and trigger all have that smoky blue-gray color mentioned above. The lock plate also shows some very light pinpricking and a few flecks of light pitting. As is typical of the Jenks-Merrill alterations, no lock markings are present. The breech lever retains some traces of its original finish, which has faded and dulled from use and wear and has a grayish patina with some blue tones on its underside. The interior of the Merrill machined breech still retains some vivid case coloring. While the lock markings were obliterated during the alteration process, the breech markings remain very crisp and clear. The top of the breech is very well marked a small WM JENKS vertically and USN / RC / P / 1845 in four horizontal lines below the Jenks mark. The shadow of the original round loading aperture is visible, which was plugged and refinished in the brown by Merrill during the alteration. The top of the Merrill breech lever is marked in two lines: J.H. MERRILL BATLO / PAT, JULY, 1858. The lever is numbered 18 on its underside, near the pivot point of the hinge. The breech lever shows some evenly distributed light pitting on its surfaces. The action of the carbine works exactly as they should and remains quite crisp. The breech opening and loading lever functions correctly, operating smoothly as well. It is clear that the spring catch that engages the rear of the Merrill sight base is not strong enough to keep the action closed reliably. The original Merrill alteration rear sight and base are in place on top of the carbine’s barrel, forward of the breech and lever. The sight remains complete and fully functional. The bore of the carbine is in about VERY GOOD condition. It is partly bright with fine, sharp rifling but show some light to moderate pitting along its length, along with some crusty residue. A good cleaning might improve the bore to some degree. The brass furniture is in lovely condition with an attractive, bronze patina. The buttplate and barrel bands show a few old impact marks, from storage and use during the period of use. The original 1.5” sling ring is present on the trigger plate, just behind the trigger guard. The walnut stock is in about FINE condition as well. The stock is solid and complete and is free of any breaks, cracks, or repairs. However, the stock does show a number of scattered minor bumps, rubs and dings from issue and use. No inspection cartouche is visible on the stock as the necessary modification to the stock to inlet the new Merrill system and add the lock screw escutcheon usually necessitated a refinishing of the stock at the Merrill facility, leaving the stock “like new” but without the original naval inspection marks.
Overall this is a very nice, complete and correct example of an extremely scarce US Navy carbine that is usually missing from even the most advanced collections. With only 240 delivered and an incredibly small survival rate, these guns simply do not appear on the market very often. If you are a carbine collector with an emphasis on the American Civil War period, this is an absolute “must have” item that you may not have another chance to procure for a very long time. If you collect US Naval small arms, this is one of those items that you desperately need in your collection, and which could well be a centerpiece of a world class 19th century US Navy firearms display.SOLD


The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor has positioned itself as a truck that can conquer all kinds of terrains. It has demonstrated its capabilities in dry conditions and showed that it can back its claim. It appears that the 2017 Ford F-150 wants to take things to another level as it takes a ride in the snow and conquered it like the other terrains.
What The Raptor Has Under The Hood
While modern vehicles are being built to be functional in all seasons, there are very few vehicles in the auto industry that can take on snowy terrains like they are made for it. According to report from Digital Trends, the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor has a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that can deliver 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. Thanks to this powerful engine, it gives the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor to plow through snow like it's not even there.
Riding In The Snow
According to a report from Auto Evolution, the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor was taken by Ken Block, a stunt driver for the Gymkhana Series, for a ride in the snow where he basically did what he does best, which is to pull off stunts but in the snow this time. Apparently, the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor also has a driving mode built for snow in its Terrain Management System. In addition, an optional Torsen front differential is also available to increase the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptors performance in off-road conditions. Of course, even with all these assistance from the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor itself, it takes a very skilled driver to pull off drifts in the snow and drive like Ken Block did.
The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Is The Real Deal
Given the fact that the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor has demonstrated its capabilities in all conditions including a snowy one, it is apparent that the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is the real deal. The title of being the best in its segment is well deserved and it will be interesting to see what its rivals will do after this stunt.

Proudly wearing their blue choir robes, our PHS Student Choir enthusiastically started their performance at Torrance Memorial’s Holiday Festival with the upbeat “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm!”
Participating in the Medical Center’s three-day long Festival was a first for our PHS Choir, with parents, friends, PHS faculty, staff, and Mrs. Cailler fully enjoying this holiday experience amid the Festival’s gorgeously decorated trees.
Previously, the choir has only sung at campus events. Knowing that this performance was upcoming, the Choir has been enthusiastically practicing and anticipating this event.
PHS Choir Director and Music Teacher Mr. Charley Miller shares the following beautiful experience that occurred at the Festival:
“As we arrived at our location prior to performing, a musician was playing Christmas songs on the piano. Spontaneously, one by one, our Choir members gathered around her and began to sing. It was a wonderful and completely impromptu experience.”
Mr. Miller continues, “The parents of our Choir members were incredibly supportive and relished this experience.”
“We really liked singing Christmas songs for our parents and with our friends,” exclaimed a youthful choir member, following the choir’s closing number, “In the Spirit.”
The Festival’s beginning stretches back to 1984 when a group of Torrance Memorial volunteers launched this unique community festival to directly benefit the Medical Center and the care it provides to citizens of the South Bay.
What a wonderful way for our students to begin the holiday season!

MILLBURY — Bowling Green appeared to give all they had but came up short in a 55-52 Division I district semifinal overtime loss to Lima Senior at Lake High School Tuesday.
“That’s a tough one,” BG coach Mason Roth said. “We battled and they battled, too. They are a really good basketball team, and our guys never backed down tonight and that is something I’m really proud of.
“Obviously, losing in the end stinks. You know, I don’t think many people outside this locker room gave us much of a chance and we had an opportunity to win at the end,” Roth continued.
“That’s what I told our guys, I don’t think we get the respect sometimes that we deserve, especially from the outside. That’s what I told them is you don’t worry what is on the jersey. Basketball is basketball. The ball has to go in the hoop.”
Lima Senior has reached the state final four five times, but coach Quincey Simpson did not expect that the Bobcats would just roll over for them.
“I’m not surprised,” Simpson said. “I mean, it’s the tournament. Guys are going to leave everything on the floor.
“Give your hat to Bowling Green. They played extremely confident, very well-coached tonight, made shots, showed toughness, and you know, they had a chance to win.
“We didn’t expect to just come here and just blow these guys out of the water,” Simpson continued. “We respect our opponent, and he (Roth) had those guys confident, so I’m blessed that we were able to move on.”
It marked the second game of the night at Flyer Fieldhouse pitting a Northern Lakes League team against a Three Rivers Athletic Conference team, ending in a split as Perrysburg downed Toledo St. Francis, 53-41, in the opener.
BG appeared to be following suit, going wire-to-wire with the Spartans, but once Lima Senior got the lead in overtime they never trailed.
Trailing 55-52, the Bobcats had one final look at the basket, but 6-foot-8 senior Jabari Conway’s 20-foot fade away bounced off the rim at the buzzer.
Seven different players scored for BG, led by junior guard Ahmir Ruffin, who came off the bench to score 13 points and grab four rebounds.
Senior guard Brock Hastings scored 10 points and had five rebounds, junior guard Brayden Freyman had eight points, and Conway had seven points, six rebounds, and two steals.
Senior forward Evan Brandt was a beast on the boards, grabbing seven caroms in the first half and finishing with nine rebounds and four points.
BG junior guard Grant Sonner scored the first two field goals of the game, both three-pointers to give BG a quick 6-0 lead, and he finished with six points, and junior guard Jake Amspoker had four points and six rebounds.
BG finished the first half on a 15-3 run and took a 27-18 halftime lead over the Spartans, but Lima Senior opened the second half on a 10-0 run to take its fist lead, 29-28, with less than three minutes remaining.
BG finally got on the board when Ruffin was fouled driving to the basket, making both shots to put BG back up 30-29, but the Spartans’ momentum continued as Lima Senior led 37-35 entering the fourth stanza.
Brandt fouled out with 2:41 remaining with the score tied 42-42, but Ruffin was fouled on an offensive putback with 1:39 remaining, and his old-fashioned three-point play put the Bobcats up, 45-42.
After the Spartans’ 6-7 sophomore Jagger Hutchins hit a three-point shot to tie, Hastings was fouled in the backcourt and hit both ends of a one-and-one, giving BG a 47-45 lead with 45 seconds showing.
However, the Spartans responded quickly as senior Anthony Mosley scored easily in the paint off a feed from freshman Amari Addy, tying the score at 45-apiece with 40 seconds remaining.
Both teams had final chances to score the game-winner, but Lima Senior turned the ball over with 1.2 seconds remaining, and a Conway 18-footer rolled off the rim at the buzzer.
Ruffin scored first in overtime on an eight-foot floater to put BG up, 49-47, but the Spartans went on a 7-0 run to send the Bobcats packing.
“They made plays and we made plays, and we had two good looks at the end with our two best players and it just didn’t go in,” Roth said. “That’s basketball.”
Roth said Freyman had one of his best performances of the season, including crucial scores on drives to the basket, let alone his three steals on defense.
“Guys step up in moments,” Roth said. “Brayden had a rough year, but he never wavered. He always stuck with us, and we count on him.
“We expect him to have big games. That was good for him and hopefully that will carry over to next season.”
Addy, despite being 5-11 and in his first year of high school, scored a game-high 17 points with nine rebounds and three steals.
Mosley had a double-double 12 points and 13 rebounds, senior Brandon Moore and sophomore Izaiah Wilson scored eight apiece, senior Amarion Glenn scored six, and Hutchins had four points and five rebounds.
The Spartans shot 42% (21-for-50) from the floor, 10-for-17 from the free throw line, and had 15 turnovers to the Bobcats’ 13. Lima Senior held a narrow 36-35 advantage off the backboards.
BG shot 33% (18-for-54) from the field, but had seven triples, including two each by Sonners, Hastings and Conway, The Bobcats were 9-for-13 from the stripe.
BG bows out at 11-13. Lima Senior (17-7) advances to take on Perrysburg (19-5) at 7 p.m. Friday at Flyer Fieldhouse for the district championship and right to move on to the Division I regional semifinal at the University of Toledo’s Savage Arena.
“They’re good, they’re big, and they are strong,” Simpson said of Perrysburg. “They know me well, I know them well. Great coach — (Perrysburg coach) Dave (Boyce) is a wonderful coach.
“They are going to be ready to go, so hopefully we can match that intensity, but I would like to see their guys match our intensity. It’s going to be a cat-and-mouse game. We’ve got a window to prepare and get it done.”

A lottery is a game in which people pay money to buy tickets, hoping that they’ll win big. It’s a form of gambling and it’s used to raise money for different causes, from sports teams to local governments.
The lottery draws numbers from a pool and if any of the numbers on your ticket match those drawn, you win some of the money. The rest of the money goes to the state or city government.
In many states, the lottery is a key source of revenues for governments. However, a number of concerns have been raised about the impacts of lotteries on society.
Some argue that promoting gambling as an alternative to more traditional forms of investment leads to negative consequences for the poor, and problem gamblers. In addition, the popularity of lottery games can make it harder for people to save for retirement and college tuition.
There is also a growing concern that lottery games are becoming increasingly super-sized, generating large jackpots and free publicity. These games have also been linked to increased addictions among some players.
These changes in the lottery industry have led to questions about whether the state should run a lottery in the first place. They have also prompted debate about how to promote the game as a means of raising revenue.
Often, state government decisions to run the lottery are made piecemeal and incrementally, with little or no general overview of the issues. This process can lead to a situation where the public welfare is only occasionally addressed, as in the case of Oregon’s gambling policies.


Task lighting is a passion, so that means gathering my share of collected old-timer fixtures that are iconic, or representations of a product that is familiar and comfortable. In this case it is the Dazor desk lamp. I have these in drafting board mount, and have made on floor lamp from a similar foundation. I don’t use fluorescent tubes in any of them, and for the most part use only the base and arms, with my own task lighting head attached.
This particular project involves combining task lighting plus the ability to cure light cure resins, coatings, fiberglass materials, and SLA printed parts. The combination is not as odd as it sounds. For model building, whether it be a hobby boat or architectural model, or SLA printed part, gluing parts together, or laying on a coating of clear on a finished part, there is a need for high visibility task lighting to do detail work. By using UV cure resins and coatings, there is no need to rush.
The white light in this task lamp produces very little blue light, 300-600 Fc of 3000K 93 CRI white light from two sources to reduce shadowing. Then, when the time is just right, the white light is switched to light cure, delivering 20mW/cm² of 405nm UV cure light, perfect for most adhesives, SLA resins, clear UV coating, and UV cure resins. The advantages of UV curing are many. First, no pot life of resins, so very little waste. Second is lower odor than catalyzed materials. Third, you can work the materials for as long as you wish without worrying about them hardening, then, when ready, expose it to the cure light. You can even stop the cure process in process to make small adjustments or correct flaws, then restart the cure process by re-starting the light exposure.
To attain the high levels of both working white light as well as blue cure light, this fixture needed considerable modifications. The lighting head has a heat sink bar that the LEDs are mounted to, for dissipation of the 59 Watts of UV light (9W of UV radiant power), and the 31 Watts of white task lighting. On the rear of this heat sink bar are two small fans (12VDC) to keep it all cool. This added to the weight of the head, which the arm spring was not designed to hold up, so the arm mechanism required upgrading, and the spring mechanism tension increased to hold the head and arm at any height or angle desired.
The two switches on the head provide power on, which includes the fans. The second switch is the mode switch, selecting between blue-off-white. The center off position allows the fans to run and cool the head at the end of a long cure cycle, which can be necessary for some parts that are either very thick, or require rotation during the cure cycle.
This conversion delivers an attractive desk/work light for creating, finishing, and fine tuning parts that are completed using UV cure products.

For me, a women’s circle is a safe and sacred space for women to come together, use their voices, be heard and be seen. Women throughout history have gathered in circles to empower each other and share wisdom. These affirming community gatherings help women get in touch with their feminine strength and turn up their positive vibration.
I have been leading women s circle for decades now and I have been watching a lot of magic happening.
But when one woman breaks the sacred, starts to gossip, lies or brings her violence or jealousy or hate to another woman at the heart of a circle, she is doing more than breaking a sacred space. She creates an unsafe circle for all the women inside.
A space where nobody is safe is not sacred anymore, and the circle is dead.
It just becomes a women s gathering, and oh god, here all the shit can happen! ….
So, being part of a sacred women s circle is a huge responsibility for the feminine, the community, the planet.
If you are not ready to open your heart, bring only the magic, be responsible and respectful, make a favor to others, don t join a circle
Cause you are not ready yet.
Few weeks ago, a woman who really doesn t like me, talked very badly about me in a circle where I was not present that night. She was upset with me. Her decision. Energetically, she is really dealing with something strong and painful for months now, and I guess I represent all her frustration and anger about it. So, she prepared herself, came and join the circle and started her gossip, lying about me, harassing two of my guests who were present at the circle.
It was not the place, and not the moment, but she decided to do it.
Obviously, all this deserve her completely. But for me, the unpleasant situation is not that someone lies about me, shit on me or speak badly about me. The sad situation is ONE woman using a sacred circle to try to destroy an other woman. THIS IS SO SAD
And that made me remember one of my closest girlfriend who is working with ONU bringing peace to the most conflict zones around the world told me one day:
“The most horrible things I saw in my life in the most violent areas are done by women. Women are the ones who are creating the most horrible wars and conflicts”
And I guess this makes sense. When a woman is in pain, the entire creation is in pain, and life suffers. A woman in pain can be the most cruel being on earth.
What do you think about that?
Did you experience the hate of a woman?

It’s all just words, of course, but the public quarrel is a reminder of DWF’s sudden emergence earlier this year. The company quickly and loudly popped up as a backer of startups. But there was soon debate around whether it was really engaging in venture capital investing, as some thought, or something less long-term: acting like an over-the-counter trading desk, approaching projects with the offer of buying up its tokens, then trying to sell them for a profit.
Bankman-Fried’s dad, Joe Bankman, was paid a $200,000 salary by FTX’s U.S. division, according to the filing from FTX’s bankruptcy estate, which just sued the parents. But that wasn’t enough, he said, telling an FTX executive in a Jan. 12, 2022, message that he was supposed to get $1 million annually starting the previous month, according to the filing.
“Genesis has decided to stop offering digital asset spot and derivatives trading through GGC International, Ltd. (GGCI),” the statement reads. “This decision was made voluntarily and for business reasons. With this termination of services from GGCI, Genesis no longer offers trading services through any of its business entities.”
“The actions we are taking today provide Binance.US with more than seven years of financial runway and enable us to continue to serve our customers while we operate as a crypto-only exchange,” the company said in a statement. “The SEC’s aggressive attempts to cripple our industry and the resulting impacts on our business have real world consequences for American jobs and innovation, and this is an unfortunate example of that.”
Before Elon Musk bought Twitter and renamed it X, a blue checkmark – like the one emblazoned on @Grayscale_FND’s account – was a sign the account was verified, that some measure of thought and vetting had occurred before the account got that label. Now, it means the account owner can afford $8 a month, giving rise to a proliferation of crypto scams wielding blue-checked X accounts.
Ryan Salame, who was one of Sam Bankman-Fried’s top deputies at FTX, plans to plead guilty to criminal charges on Thursday, Bloomberg reported.
“With this service, institutions can choose to lend digital assets to Coinbase under standardized terms in a product that qualifies for a Regulation D exemption,” a Coinbase spokesperson said in a statement. “Coinbase is working to update the financial system that was built over 100 years ago, leveraging crypto to provide people with more economic freedom and opportunity. To advance this purpose, Coinbase is building the most trusted crypto products and services, and supporting other builders to bring 1 billion people into crypto.”
Several firms have applied to list these exchange-traded funds, which would hold derivatives contracts tied to ether – rather than ether itself. But they need the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s blessing, something Bloomberg said might be imminent.
On Thursday, DCG argued that Gemini’s fraud accusations over the Gemini Earn service should be tossed out, asserting that DCG had “virtually nothing to do with” the program. In a Friday post on X, the social-media service formerly known as Twitter, Cameron Winklevoss said, “This is a direct admission that they did in fact have something to do with the Gemini Earn program. Lol.”
“We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and working capital, and, subject to market conditions,” already issued bonds, according to MicroStrategy’s Tuesday filing.
Digital Currency Group (DCG) said it’s close to “reaching an agreement in principle to resolve the claims in the Genesis Capital Chapter 11 cases,” according to a letter sent to shareholders Monday.
Bankrupt crypto lender Celsius Network said its $4.7 billion settlement with the U.S. over fraud allegations won’t affect its reorganization or the amount it recovers for customers.
Musk didn’t identify his replacement by name, but said she’ll start in about six weeks. The billionaire – who bought Twitter last year and, following a poll that suggested this, said he’d find someone else to serve as CEO – will shift into the executive chairman and chief technology officer roles at Twitter.
The announcement coincides with increased scrutiny by U.S. regulators and lawmakers about the role of cryptocurrencies in the world’s biggest economy – a campaign that’s affected Gemini. In January, the company and Genesis (which, like CoinDesk, is owned by Digital Currency Group) were accused by the Securities and Exchange Commission of selling unregistered securities.
DRW told CoinDesk it’s not an investor in OPNX, the bankruptcy claims exchange founded by the same people who founded failed crypto hedge fund Three Arrow Capital (3AC).
The brothers gave Gemini support after trying to get outside investment, Bloomberg said, citing anonymous sources.
UPDATE (April 6, 2023, 21:08 UTC): Updates price.
Crypto was born in the aftermath of – and, to some, in response to – the 2008 crisis. Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin paper debuted into a world where governments had just propped up the financial system by pouring money into it. Crypto lacks such a centralized authority. If SVB customers, including Circle and its USDC stablecoin, are forced to take a haircut on their money, the repercussions are unclear.


The results of yesterday’s School Board Election and Budget Vote are in: incumbent Karen Hughes will remain on the school board for a fourth term, and progressive challenger John Duval will become the newest member of the board, replacing incumbent Damon Bender. Hughes received a total of 947 votes; Duval received 664; Bender received 479. Hughes and Duval will begin their 3-year terms on June 1.
“Mostly, I’m just feeling humbled by the support from the community and determined to do right by all of our kids and families.” Duval said of his successful bid for a spot on the board. “We’re really lucky and proud to be part of this wonderful place.”
Both the annual Budget Proposition and Proposition #2 passed by a wide margin: 967 to 158, and 972 to 153, respectively. The passage of the Budget Proposition will increase the district budget to $91,388,000. The approval of Proposition #2 will allow the district to use $2 million dollars from the 2015 Capital Reserve Fund to finance a redevelopment project at the district’s newly acquired 366 N. Highland Ave property, including the construction of a new parking lot and the reconfiguring of the entry/exit driveway at Nyack High School.

Forte exited the game in the third quarter after re-injuring his troublesome right ankle at the end of a run. Forte was taped up and appeared to be fighting to return to the game, but the Bears weren't taking any chances with a 28-6 lead.
Forte walked to the Bears' locker room with trainers. An announcement that he was done for the game soon followed, and Forte wore a walking boot on his right foot after the game.
"It is not the worst that I have ever felt, but it is the third time (I've hurt the ankle)," Forte told Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. "So, it's just getting a little aggravating."
Forte also said he'd play in next week's must-win game against the Detroit Lions. The Bears (9-6) need to win that game and have the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings lose to the Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs.
Forte is just 9 yards shy of his third 1,000-yard rushing season. Before going out, he had 95 total yards and one touchdown.

WILLMAR, Minn.—The Stingers have had the key ingredients working against Waterloo so far this season and success was again in the cards Saturday evening. Behind another great start from Andrew Towns and three shutout innings from Will Lydon in relief, Willmar topped the Bucks for the seventh time in seven games this season, 4-2 at Bill Taunton Stadium.
In his 11th start of the year, Towns had unfortunate luck to begin the game, as the leadoff batter Pat MacKenzie reached first on an error. MacKenzie eventually came around to score with two singles in the inning, the latter by Kevin Kaczmarski to give the Bucks a 1-0 lead.
However, after the first inning on the mound, Towns was air tight and allowed just three more hits in his final five innings, one of which was a home run to give the Bucks a 2-1 lead after the top of the fourth.
The Stingers offense, meanwhile, was coming off back-to-back 11-run games, and although not nearly as powerful Saturday, Willmar scraped by enough runs to back up the pitching staff. Trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth, the Stingers manufactured a run with a leadoff walk by Jack Ross proving to be the game-tying tally. Brian Pruett followed with his second double in as many at bats and drove in his second run of the game with a line shot into the left field corner.
An inning later in the fifth, the Stingers (45-26 overall, 23-18 second half) tallied the game-winning run with the help of a Bucks' defensive miscue. Reagan Fowler reached first base with one out after third baseman David Kerian sailed a throw to first that allowed Fowler to scamper to second. Nick Rivera followed with a booming double to give the Stingers the lead for good.
Towns and Lydon combined to shut down the Waterloo bats the rest of the way, and after Towns left in the sixth, Lydon pitched three scoreless, allowing just a single base runner on a walk and earning his first save of the year.
The 2014 season is presented by Charter. For more coverage of the Stingers visit www.wctrib.com.

For those keeping score at home, Donald Trump hit an all-time low in his post-summit news conference from Helsinki with his friend (co-conspirator?) Vladimir Putin.
This is not an overstatement. There is no possibility of overstatement here. In fact, you couldn’t possibly disagree with this assessment unless you were either Mike Pence or Sean Hannity.
The moment the news conference ended, CNN’s Anderson Cooper rolled out “disgraceful” to describe Trump’s performance, and for the next few hours, pundits and politicos would compete in a deep thesaurus dive searching for the perfect word or phrase: shameful or astonishing or deeply troubling or devastating or dangerous or imbecilic or disingenuous or shocking or unprecedented or Munich-like appeasement or, according to former CIA chief John Brennan, treasonous. Brennan also called for “patriotic Republicans” to finally stand up to Trump.
I’ll go with David Gergen, who has served under every president in recent memory and who put it this way: “Never have I seen a president so badly betray his own country on the world stage.”
Meanwhile, Politico summed up the news conference in a succinct tweet.
Reporter: Do you hold Russia accountable for anything?
Trump: We’re all to blame.
Trump says Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats warned him that Putin was to blame for interference in the 2016 election. Trump says Putin made an “incredibly strong and confident” argument that he wasn’t. If you’re wondering which side Trump came down on,Trump said “I do not see any reason why it would be” Russia’s fault.
This was such a low point that you’d almost – yes, I said almost – think that such a presidential-sized betrayal would finally shock the nation into action.
OK, we know what happened – Trump chose Putin over country while slamming the FBI in front of the former KGB agent – even if we’re not sure why. Does Putin really have something on Trump? Is this yet another reworking of the Manchurian Candidate? As a confirmed anti-conspiracy theorist, I’ve long thought that Trump’s unwillingness to concede Russia’s role in the 2016 election must be about his ego and the Electoral College or maybe something in his tax returns or perhaps just his bromance with the world’s tyrants.
The question is what do we do now?
There is an answer, but it could come only from Trump’s Republican enablers. This is what they call a gut check. If you don’t count John McCain, who is home battling brain cancer, Republicans hold a 50-49 majority in the Senate. This is easy math, if difficult politics. If only one Republican were to become an independent and caucus with Democrats, imagine the stunning change, the subpoenas, the hearings, etc.
Actually, the lone Republican – yes, more would be better – wouldn’t even have to defect. All it would take is joining Democrats in protecting Mueller’s investigation and in calling for hearings on Trump’s Make Russia Great Again summit.
I don’t expect that to happen. I don’t expect much to happen. Some are suggesting any Trump aide with a conscience should resign. Some are suggesting that if this crisis heats up, there could be the need for a scapegoat. John Kelly, anyone?
If you think this is a crisis point for America – and I certainly do – that doesn’t mean you have to believe it will play out any differently from all the rest. Isn’t the essence of Trumpworld that we now live in the post-tipping-point era?
The best American moments in Helsinki came from an AP reporter and a Reuters reporter – you know, enemies of the people – who were the lone American journalists called on to ask questions at the news conference. They put Trump on the spot in asking him to choose between Putin and U.S. intelligence. We watched Trump as he faltered, once again blaming the “witch hunt” for the problems between Russia and the United States instead of blaming the witch – OK, the thug – standing next to him.
It was a disgraceful performance, but hardly surprising. I mean, you weren’t really expecting Trump to debate Putin on Crimea, were you? When Mueller indicted the 12 Russian intelligence agents for interfering in the 2016 election, Trump’s game plan was set. After lashing out against our allies in Europe, Trump would buddy up to Putin, who deserves great credit for not once cracking a smile as Trump prattled on about Hillary Clinton and her emails and Peter Strzok and his texts.
You can argue, I guess, whether Trump betrayed his country by his performance. What’s inarguable is that he humiliated himself and everyone who has ever supported him.

Chandelier is the third album from Minneapolis based trio Autumn, on Chicago indie label Sett Records. The fourteen tracks are a darkwave, post-punk blend, taking the best of both and serving them up with infectious precision. The synths recall the best of 80s new wave, while the atmospheric guitars shimmer and swirl around the breathtaking vocals of frontwoman Julie Plante. This is an album that shows a mature band in firm control of their sound and delivering that up with depth and panache. A must have album. Stream and buy Chandelier at the link below.

”Phoebe is a remarkably real little girl, as bright and imaginative as Bill Watterson’s Calvin, as touchingly vulnerable as Charles Schulz’s Charlie Brown. And if these strike you as big names to conjure with, I’ll go further and state for the record that in my opinion Heavenly Nostrils is nothing less than the best comic strip to come along since Calvin and Hobbes. Simpson is that good, and that original.”
–Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn, from the Introduction
A boy and his dog . . . a girl and her . . . unicorn?
It all started when Phoebe skipped a rock across a pond and accidentally hit a unicorn in the face. Improbably, this led to Phoebe being granted one wish, and she used it to make the unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, her obligational best friend. But can a vain mythical beast and a nine-year-old daydreamer really forge a connection? Indeed they can, and that’s how Phoebe and Her Unicorn unfolds.
This beautifully drawn strip follows the unlikely friendship between a somewhat awkward girl and the unicorn who gradually shows her just how special she really is. Through hilarious adventures where Phoebe gets to bask in Marigold’s “awesomeness,” the friends also come to acknowledge that they had been lonely before they met and truly appreciate the bond they now share.

This exciting thriller from new author James Alexander, The Feathered Serpent is a heart-pounding, at times bizarre adventure that can only be described as Indiana Jones meets X-Files meets The Da Vince Code. Anthropologist Henry Williams is drawn onto an intriguing trail of clues when a dubious collector of antiquities sends him a mysterious parcel containing a papyrus from Egypt with an incredible story to tell. The papyrus turns out merely to be bait for a far more fascinating document, one so important that the collector of antiquities will only deliver it himself: A Mayan codex so rare that most Mesoamerican academics don t know of its existence. Telling of mankind s distant past, The Codex rewrites all history, shaking the very foundations of civilization as it is known. Should it come to light, The Codex would defy scientific theory in all disciplines and force a re-evaluation of all major religions. It tells of the influence of a creature, known as Typhon, on mankind s past. Williams and his colleague, Dr. Piers Anderson, chase clues across two continents while being shadowed by a sinister society called The League of Horus, a group desperate to stop the academics from discovering the truth. Having followed the trail to Mexico, each new discovery brings Williams and Anderson closer to the truth and closer to the ever-lurking threat of death. Stops at Chichen Itza, Palenque and Teotihuacan each hold their own hidden secrets and dangers. And when they encounter a Mayan shaman, he introduces them to the sacred Crystal Skull, which introduces them to a mythical, legendary place Atlantis. This is no ordinary adventure, and The Feathered Serpent is no ordinary story. Follow these intrepid seekers on a desperate chase across the world as they struggle with their inner demons, learning to trust and distrust equally in a battle for survival against an overwhelming foe. The Feathered Serpent is his first novel and also the first in a planned trilogy. If you enjoyed reading The Feathered Serpent then watch out for the next novel in the trilogy The Crystal Dragons .

Book 1: THE STORM DRAGON’S HEART
Turesobei dreams of adventure and a chance to prove he’s no longer a child. Wizards should be careful what they wish for.
Destined to become his clan’s next and perhaps greatest ever high wizard, Turesobei feels smothered under everyone’s expectations. And he’s fed up with people treating him like he’s still a child, especially his grandfather, the current high wizard. After foiling an assassination attempt on his treasure-hunting dad, his grandfather sends Turesobei on his father’s expedition to find a powerful artifact known as the Storm Dragon’s Heart. He’s supposed to blow off some steam and get a dose of real world experience.
But disaster strikes, and their quest becomes a race for survival.
Aided by a sassy ninja cat-girl and a mysterious diary that transforms into a bat-winged familiar, Turesobei battles sinister cultists, vengeful spirits, and a mad wizard from a rival clan who’s determined to use the artifact to destroy Turesobei’s homeland.
To fail is to lose everyone he loves, but success carries a terrible price.

Twitter shares soar by 35 per cent Wednesday 30th of July, 2014by Rachel HandTwitter shares rose sharply as the company's quarterly earnings revealed that its number of monthly active users has gone up.


Government, specifically the US Federal, State and Local Government is challenged with a requirement to preserve information for the duration of the Republic. The duration of the Republic already spans hundreds of years. The first 175 years stored the Republics business on paper. However, since the 1950’s new types of storage media have emerged. That media maintains the historical audio, video and text of the Republic. It is incumbent upon the US Government to make that history available, as needed, to the constituents of the United States of America.
Accessing the history of any department within a branch of government can seem trying at times. For example, the technology used by the Office of the President required end users to decide which emails were necessary for long term preservation, as opposed to storing all of the data, regardless of personal interpretation. Therefore, accessing the unabridged version of the email records for the Republics highest office was hampered by user precision and recall, not technology. Where precision represents the number of correct hits in a return set of specified length; recall represents the number of correct returns relative to the total number of possible correct returns. Specifically, deciding which emails should and shouldn’t be kept for long term retention is best left up to software and open records managers.
In order for a manager who is responding to a Federal Open Information Act (FOIA) request to find data, the data must be stored in an open format. Open formats are critical for all agencies within the Government, because they never know when data may be requested. If the data is proprietary and the request is 50 years from now, it’s possible the developer or the data-type is long retired or deceased. Therefore, accessing the data may become impossible, unless a computer with the right software is under maintenance at The Smithsonian.
If you are using Estorian LookingGlass you can be assured that your data is accessible. Data accessibility is maintained by LookingGlass Spherical Indexing solution, which is based on open format SQL queries. LookingGlass takes a standard approach to storing the data within an open storage system, such as NetApp NAS or Permabit Enterprise Archiving. The standard data approach, used by most of the vendors supporting an archive, is to take the Microsoft MSG files and store them in collections of ZIP files.
The Microsoft MSG files are the Message file data-type created by Microsoft Outlook. Granted, the data-type may have been created by Microsoft, but it has been in use for over 13 years. Specifically, Microsoft MSG files were introduced when Microsoft released Windows 95 Preview Program (April 1995). Since then, thousands of developers have been manipulating and managing MSG files, it is well known and can be considered a de facto standard. Individual MSG files are a suitable format for email and email meta-data, but billions of immutable MSG files create a performance and storage challenge for all systems.
To address the issue of backing up millions of individual MSG files, LookingGlass incorporates standard zip file support in to the storing of its archived email. The ZIP file format, made popular by Phil Katz (d. 2000) was released into the open format in 1989. Despite Mr. Katz death, the open format creates assurances the data type will continue to be supported within LookingGlass well in to the future.
LookingGlass data storage access is predicated on open access and data ownership by its customers. As citizens of the Republic, we should pledge allegiance to open formats that ensure future generations’ access to the present history that defines their conditions. LookingGlass provides assurances to that access through the confluence of Spherical Indexing, MSG file’s and ZIP technology. LookingGlass will provide our Federal, State and Local Governments the open access they need to support the open records acts well into the future.

Over the last five months of 2013, doctors and teaching hospitals across the nation received $3.5 billion from pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers, a partial set of data released on Tuesday shows. The release of the data represents a requirement under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which is a lesser-known part of the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
This data, released by the federal government, represents the first disclosure of information on the before-confidential financial agreement between doctors and drug- respectively medical device-makers. Over 4.4 million payments and transfers of value took place during August 1 2013 and December 31 2013 , the data reveals, as drug and device-makers courted around 546,000 U.S. physicians and 1,360 teaching hospitals.
However, this data is incomplete and has been questioned by physician and industry groups claiming that it is both inaccurate and out of context. According to them, about 40 percent of the information released has been de-identified, by essentially redacting doctor’s names and other information when federal officials couldn’t confirm the validity of their data.
Patient advocates as well as lawmakers have criticized such practices and claim that arrangements between drug- and device-makers and physicians are rife with potential conflicts. In fact, several studies have suggested that gifts or payments, however insignificant, alter the doctor’s prescribing patterns and also influence the way they practice.
According to Dr. Shantanu Agraqal, Medicare’s deputy administrator and Center for Program Integrity director, federal officials aimed at making consumers aware of the relationships their doctors have with the industry, and that they can make better decisions based on this information.
“We are taking a big step forward in shining the light on these financial arrangements. Using this new data, it is now possible to conduct a wide range of analyses of payments made by drug and device manufacturers that were never possible before.”
he said during a conference call with reporters.
Around 40 Illinois pharmaceutical and medical device companies had paid more than $100 million to doctors and hospitals across the country, $75 million of that sum being awarded to doctors (more than 60% of what had been reserved for research). Of that amount, more than $55 million represented payments or transfers of value.
Some of the most courted recipients were in orthopedics and neurology.
Records show that, for example, Dr. James McGee, a radiation oncologist in Peoria, has received $582,000 from Merck in services for research and in in-kind items, for a radiation and chemotherapy medical trial. The doctor couldn’t be reached for comments.
Another top recipient, Dr. Brian Cole, received $274,000 from Arthrex for a device he co-developed.
“It assures that we always use the best possible implant for the patient whether it is something we designed or a different implant.”
the doctor said, defending his actions.

RFID system for tracking heavy steel coils in warehouses
Entresistemas, an engineering company, has developed an RFID system for tracking heavy steel coils in large warehouses.
This system uses Keonn antennas, in particular, Advantenna-P11, for detecting which reel is picked up by each crane at each particular moment.
This information is sent to the operator and to the main core system (based on SAP).
This results in higher efficiency in crane movements, fewer human errors in coil identification and higher speed.
