They are available for most markers in 12", 14", and 16" lengths. The All American Barrels are made in two sections, a front and a back. The back of the barrel (the part that screws into the marker) is available in three bore sizes (small, standard, large). The front of the barrel (the ported section) acts as a spinning chamber. The air in front of the ball is pushed out of the holes reducing turbulence and the gases behind the ball are vented in such a way to impart a slight spin on the paintball. The All American barrel has a front section with a larger bore than the back. Fronts are available in two standard colors (black & green) and 7 splash colors (shown above).
The Smart Parts All American Barrels are newer, so they should be commonly available, both new and used.

So far, it's worked with everything I've put through it, including Monsterballs, Visible Impact, and field balls.
Comes unscrewed (probably just my gun)
This barrel actually game on a cheap gun I bought for about 40 bucks. What a deal. The gun turned out to be a great backup gun, and the barrel was amazing. I have no problem hitting targets at any distance. This barrel really helps when you get into a gunfight and every shot counts. I have hit people in the face from about 30 feet away with my first and (last shot). The barrel has a fair amount of porting, and the holes are a really good size. They're not too hard to clean. The barrel fits flush with the body on both of my guns and looks great doing what it's doing.
This is probably one of the best barrels you can buy. I haven't used many other 2 piece barrels, but this is definitely the best barrel I've used and lets me compete with my friend's DM5.

Alright well to start off this is the most quiet barrel I ever owned, with my cocker I could barley hear the sound of the barrel. One thing I must note is that I had the pre-2002 model that was a factory glued 2-piece barrel, w/out the fancy milling that they have now and I was stuck with the same back and front price. I say accuracy as a weakness but compared to some other barrel in its price range its less accurate, and it as more of a lob then anything. But thats no biggie you get used to it after a game or 2.
Overall a good barrel, try it our if you have the chance
Teardrop, Progressive, Bigshot, Freak system and others
32* 2003 Expansion Chamber
32* Flame Drop
Madmann Spring Kit
Custom Trigger Job
Clear Dye Stickies
16oz Stubby w\anti siphon
I've found blaze worked best.
Interchangable lengths and backs
Well I used to own this barrel but than sold it once I realized I could get the same performance from a barrel at a cheaper price. Dont get me wrong its a great barrel, and if you have more one marker this could work best for you but otherwise it isnt worth the price. It has a very fine finish, shoots very straight, but it wont shoot any better than most other barrels with a similar finish and paint to barrel match.
If you have more than one gun the interchanabilty (sp) of this may work for you but otherwise it isnt worth it. A great barrel, just really comes down to your wallet and what the user needs.

If it is NOT for an autococker or shocker than get large bore paint (.693)
1. Diablo Dusk
2. PMI big ball
3. TC viper venoms
All the paint is under $50 for 2000 and the bore size on them is .688-.689
Great for cockers and shockers
Horrible if you are getting it for other than a shocker or autococker (bore .693.)
I am a huge fan of SmartParts products; they're an awesome company and have good prices, but they really screwed up the All American by making it such a huge bore size for all the other guns besides Cockers and Shockers. To get this barrel to be accurate you must buy an odd big bore size paint.
The bore size for the Shocker and Cocker is .689, the perfect size. But for everything else its huge, (.693) making it very inaccurate for most paint.
I purchased this barrel for an A-5 and it was very inaccurate.
IF you do not have a Shocker or Cocker, then I do not recommend getting this barrel just because of the bore size. IF it's not for either the Cocker or Shocker then I rate this barrel 3 out of 10. ( check out OtterSCcustoms.com for barrel bore size).
If you are one of the Shocker or Cocker owners then BUY this barrel you will not be disappointed. You can get for $65.00 online!!

It looks good.
It shoots just as good as a 40 dollar progressive.
Well, I got this barrel with my first autococker back in october. At first it worked great but after a while of screwing the barrel appart and together the barrel formed a gap inbetween the front and back of the barrel. So I figured, ok this isnt the biggest of deals, so I go out to play that day, and surprise surprise, im breaking paint up the wazoo. I figured it was my first time with a cocker of my own and I wasnt used to the hinge. So later on when we're done I decide to just clean out the whole marker. And I realize that there was no paint on the bolt or breech of my marker. But where was there paint? You guessed it, from where the front and back of the barrel meet and so forth all in the front of the barrel. This made me very mad, and I have noticed this happened with many other all americans and freaks as well. So im done with 2 piece smart parts barrels for good, untill they can make a quality one at least.
Oh, one more little thing I would like to point out. The all american and progressive have the exact same honing since smart parts doesnt hone any of their barrels differently at all. So basically a 40 dollar progressive will shoot just as good as a 75 dollar all american. So for all of you who spent 75 on an all american, you just wasted 35 dollars :). And to those of you who are just reading this to find out whether the AA is a good barrel, please dont waste your money on this sorry excuse of a barrel. Its just junk.
This barrel is junk, the only thing keeping me from giving it a 1 is the fact that it was a 16inch (my favorite length) so i'll give it a 3 since it made me realize that 16 is my favorite length, but other than that its useless.
I have a Tippmann A-5 with a double trigger, All American Barrel, and a 16oz Co2 tank.
Zapp paint is fine, as a matter of fact any paint is. This is a very unpicky barrel.
The 2 piece system and the spiral porting.
None at all.
After I bought my Tippmann A-5 I knew I wanted a new barrel, even though the stock isnt that bad. I was between the All American or the Flatline. The reson I got the All American is because since the flatline barrel is arched if you were to tilt your gun to the side the ball would curve. Also the barrel looks great and is about half the price. I bought mine for 85 bucks, while the flatline would have costed me 150 dollars. the barrel is also very light and durable and it DOSNT SCRATCH AS EASILY AS PEOPLE SAY.
Overall you are getting a great bang for your buck. It may shoot a little bit shorter than the flatline but what does it matter if you dont hit the guy.

About anything .68 cal... Do not shoot PMI Premims out of it, 2 out of 5 broke in it. Other paints broke around 2/4000 shots, discluding leaving my darn hopper off!
None that I can notice
I picked the Smart Parts All American barrel up a week ago, and I loved it. I would have gotten a Freak Kit, but my local shop was out of automag-threaded kits.. So, I forked over 75$ so that I could use it at my party the next day, so I would not have to put up with the 6' crap barrel that came with my mag... First of all, it was hard to put on for a mag thread, but its fine for any other marker... Even thought it was made for a Mag, I had to file down part of it. Well, I had 3 cases to shoot off, and 14 hours (7 hours a day over 2 days) I started with PMI premiums, and went in for some rec-ball, since I wanted to get used to my barrel and noone was there for speedball that early. Well, about every ball broke, and I was pissed. I kept trying to fix it and try again, but nothing helped... So, afetr 1000 rounds I gave away the rest of my .68 caliber premiums. I tried two cases of other .68 paint with a slightly harder shell, and it preformed well. I only recall two breaks that were at the fault of my barrel, which could be expected by a 14' barrel. When I shot it, I was amazed. My mag was incredibly quiet and accurate; something I hardly expected! I was able to literally sneak up on people while firing. The accuracy was not the best at long ranges, but it was quite acceptable. From around 50ft, I could literally pile 10 rounds right ontop of eachother. My friends liked how it preformed, so I let two of them use my Mag in Recball. While using their guns, I found myself getting popped way faster, because they were so loud in comparison. Even with no other noise, I could hardly hear my Mag firing from 50ft away, and using a louder marker definately took away the leisure of having no people shooting me from the sides because they heard me. Now, when I got it back, I Chronoed to 284, the field's standard at 285, and decided to put the barrel to the test: Speedball. I played around 3 hours of 10v10 speedball matches, and I was amazed. I found myself sinking shots I would have never expected to with it. The only times I got hit was when I was bunkered, or half the remaining enemies made it through one side and popped me on the back. I managed to hit someone from the two furthest bunkers in the ass twice out of three shots, and I wasnt noticed. It was definately accurate at close-range, and in small bursts, it preformed well at a distance. Shots would go wild when I tried to shoot around 8BPS, but I expect its a problem with my marker, not my barrel. This barrel will easily pay for itself in time; Other than my 1000-or-so test-fire shots because of a tank problem, I used WAY less paint than usual. I usually went through 3-4 pods in a round, but with this accuracy, I found myself not even shooting my hopper out! At the end of the day, my friend shot me in the foot with his rental Tippmann, so out of anger (the game was over and he was friendly >.<;;) I fired my last paintball at him... Direct hit on his side, I love this barrel!
If you want a quiet and accurate barrel for a good price (60-100$), this is your barrel! Usually buying a slightly-cheaper paintball part means less quality, but I was glad I did this instead of The Freak Kit. Definately worth a try, and I suggest it to all Backs or Recball snipers... I see all non-tippmann snipers use 18' boomsticks, and I laugh at them. This barrel is way lighter, quieter, and more accurate. And cheap, too!

DYE boomstick, SP teardrop, CMI thunderpig, Armson SSR, SP Progressive, various stock barrels. Some of these products are better.....it's really your own opinion/ paintball style
Anything with a larger bore size, big ball, etc.
-Nice paint job
-Accurate and quiet.....my poor friends:)
I first bought this barrel thinking it was just the standered fare, a regular barrel.......how wrong i was!
It's not a terrible price for a high quality barrel......it could be cheaper. Everything could be cheaper:)he he
When i first received this barrel i liked the paint job. I wanted it black so it would go well with my gun. I looked at the porting and observed that it was very precisely cut. I checked inside of the gun and saw a very smooth finish, no wavy lines, etc.
I took my barrel out for testing with my A-5. When i first shot it i used big ball. I first noticed that the sound of the gun was drastically decreased. I was impressed! I put my 10 X 10 inch target exactly 50 feet away. I was able to hit it 19 out of 20 times from the crouching position. Then i moved the target 75 feet away. I was able to hit the target 17 out of 20 times. WOW!
I've used many kinds of paint with this barrel, I would defiantly recommend a big bore paintball. But since the All American has a big bore, you can use every kind of paint out there! The whole barrel looks intimidating and very high quality. Another plus to this barrel is that it is a 2 piece barrel so you can buy different fronts and backs to make it longer and shorter, bigger and smaller bored. I would recommend this barrel to anyone who has the money because it is a high quality product that has a high reputation. I also here that Smart Parts has great customer service (like your ever gonna need it with this durable product!)
I recomend this barrel very highly to speedball players, woodsball players, young players, veteran players, EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks nice. Accurate
sort of rips the shells
THis barell is very good for people with spyders. The only problem with this barrel so far is it rips the shells at the very tip of the barrel and makes the barrel very dirty, WIch makes the paintballs not shoot so straight wich is a bad thing for front players whoi dont have time to clean there barrel.
This barrel is very nice for kids that are playing in t he back yard or want to make a team

Well today I used my father's autococker with the 14 inch AA, the accuracy was outstanding. The amount of kills I got because of this barrel was almost uncountable. Next time I'll have used this with a Mini. Buy this product! I'm not sure what else to write so there you go!
Buy it, it's everything you will ever need in a barrel. It's awesome.

Hyundai is set to inaugurate the world’s first city and region with a two-way (V2G) energy ecosystem, where mobility is realized through electric vehicles that can also supply power to the local electrical grid. The stage will be Utrech and the protagonist will be the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Developed together with We Drive Solar, a mobility operator based in the Netherlands, this new mobility project, which will be based on Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology, will take place in Utrech, a city and region in the Netherlands.
In operational terms, the project involves Hyundai making available a fleet of 25 Ioniq 5 vehicles, equipped with V2G technology, which will start operating in one of the most recent districts of Utrech, Cartesius. Place where a total of 2,530 houses are to be built and where the Utrecht Zuillen train station is also located.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 fleet that will operate in Utrech
Moreover, in the last three years, Utrech has installed more than 1,000 two-way charging stations, through which all electric vehicles with V2G technology can supply the energy they do not need to the electricity grid of the area and the city.
Base for 17 new EVs. Hyundai prepares to launch new IMA platform
“With the unique Vehicle-to-Grid technology, We Drive Solar can use vehicles to store sustainable energy on a large scale, starting with 25 vehicles and throughout the year progressing to 150 units of the Hyundai IONIQ 5” says the Director of We Drive. Solar, Robin Berg. Adding that, “with Hyundai we will make Utrecht the first city and region with a two-way energy ecosystem.”
Hyundai Motor Europe President and CEO Mochael Cole said, “At Hyundai, we believe that bi-directional charging with V2G technology can turn electric vehicles into flexible resources. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and V2G technology not only provide an alternative solution for customers looking to move away from combustion engines, they also help to increase the viability of producing renewable energy within the grid.”
The geographical area of Cartesius, where the Hyundai and We Drive Solar project


During World War II, the wooden, twin-engine Mosquito was known for its speed, built by the British and used as a reconnaissance plane, a fighter and a bomber.
This particular Mosquito had fallen a long way since its prime. It had been used for scrap parts to repair equipment on a farm in western Canada, sitting outside for 40 years, left to withstand the elements.
Still, from those photos, Yagen saw potential. Necessary parts such as landing gear and instrument panels were still there, and pieces of remaining wing and fuselage could be used for measurements.

OpenSea has become one of the most popular platforms for NFTs. It’s also the first to introduce a platform of this kind over the years. It has experienced rapid growth, as blockchain and NFT have become increasingly sought-after investments.
It’s even more popular since celebrities and famous personalities have expressed their enthusiasm. As art becomes more digitalized, NFT becomes more lucrative.
If you’re looking to invest using NFTs and want to start from an established marketplace will provide the leverage you require. This is the reason we created this review – OpenSea is always the most popular NFT marketplace. But is it the right choice for you?
Before you start this journey, we’d like to caution you. This review is lengthy. If you’d rather take a look at a video instead, you can check out the channel’s review. They’ll guide you through OpenSea and its features to ensure that you understand everything before you begin NFT trading.
For those who prefer reading, we’ll look through what it is prior to we look into its fees and the benefits it offers.
Before you continue, you may want to watch this video by The Social Guide on YouTube that gives a quick overview. After, you will want to read the rest of our article for a more comprehensive review of OpenSea.
What is OpenSea? Nft Aero Hybrid
OpenSea provides a platform for non-fungible tokens, also known as NFTs. Through their decentralized marketplace, users can sell, buy, and trade NFTs with other users.
The NFTs available are not limited to music, art games, or game products, as well as domain names.
It was established in the year the year 2018 by Devin Finzer and Alex Atallah, two programmers who started by helping facilitate the first generation of digital collectibles. It was also among the very first NFT marketplaces, a concept that is as new as cryptocurrencies.
It is now one of the largest NFT marketplaces. They have a vast collection of NFTs which is constantly growing. The best part about these is that they permit users to post NFTs that were purchased or developed elsewhere.
How does OpenSea function?
If you’ve been trading or buying cryptocurrencies, you’ll find NFT trading very similar to that.
For OpenSea, all of the assets that are listed on the platform are owned by users, not the platform. Since they are an uncentralized marketplace, they are equipped with intelligent contracts so that users are able to interact with buyers without having to risk losing their NFT ownership.
This means that unless the transaction is successful, your digital assets won’t leave your account. In addition, you don’t have to create your account. All you need is to have a web3 supported wallet.
If you’re a buyer, you can use their browser to look for NFTs you’d like to buy. They also have filters available to aid in your search.
What types of NFTs can you purchase from OpenSea?
There are around 200 kinds of NFTs that you can purchase through OpenSea. Here are eight categories in which they are typically placed. Let’s review of each.
Music could be among the most well-known NFTs all time. It’s not just limited to just songs; you can also purchase mixtapes, remixes, beatsand vocals or whatever the artist offers. Many people even purchase background sounds such as rain, chatter that isn’t clear or various other sound effects.
Before NFTs became popular, there were people were investing in collectibles such as baseball cards, movie props, or even old technology.
In the case of NFTs, you can gather avatars, digital pets or other characters that can be traded or acquired. The rarer they are the more value they will have. They also have variations like Nyan Cat and CryptoPunks.
Art has always been one of the most sought-after NFT prior to when NFT became a reality. Today you can make the same thing with digital art. It’s not just limited to digital artworks and illustrations. Gifs can be collected as well, images, or even small video clip clips.
It is also possible to collect digital trading cards, such as those of Sorare as well as BCCG.
Digital items related to sports are also available, such as animated team logos.
VR environments and components can be purchased. It is possible to purchase these metaverses, or other items like game elements, the VR environment, characters, virtual objects and even virtual land. A well-known example is Axie Infinity.
As far-fetched as it sounds there are also NFTs that have specific functions. Examples come from Emblem Finance and Urbit ID.
Websites can now also be considered to be NFT. It is possible to purchase blockchain-based domains that aren’t subject to being shut down by anyone. These types are also censorship-resistant.
What are the selling options?
Selling your products on OpenSea is easy. All you have to do is post them on the marketplace. All you need to do is to ensure that your wallet is connected. Once you’ve added the price and the type of auction then you’re all set.
For the first time sellers you will be subject to a one-time fee for gas.
You can currently select from 5 selling options. These are:
The seller will be the one to pay the price that is the NFT. Like the name suggests the price never changes.
For an auction like the Dutch Auction, the seller determines a price that will fall in time. Sellers usually set very high prices. With time, the value will lower until it becomes equal to the buyer’s bidding. Additionally, the buyer can submit an offer. The NFT can be sold when they agree on a price.
The seller will put up an NFT for sale and will list an amount that is a minimum. It’s opposite to that of the Dutch Auction, where the price decreases as time passes. When it comes to the English Auction, buyers will make bids until the seller is able to sell the auction for the most expensive bidder.
OpenSea is able to automatically approve the transaction when the auction closes above 1 Etherium.
You can also create your own NFTs via the platform. Then you can sell them in the marketplace.
If you are looking to sell several NFTs under one transaction, it is possible to utilize the bundle features of OpenSea. 30 items are available as part of the bundle.
Are there any additional fees?
It is common for crypto or NFT exchanges to charge charges to use the platform. Although the charged fee varies depending on the platform, it’s typically an amount of the sales price paid by the buyer. This is similar to how traditional art galleries generate income through a portion of the paintings sold.
With OpenSea you only be charged 2.5 percent when purchasing an NFT. No listing costs and other kinds of charges. Other marketplaces charge 5% per sale, which makes the OpenSea’s 2.5% cost competitive.
However, you must be aware that certain NFTs have higher transaction fees in comparison to other. It is possible for this to differ between seller. Some artists can also have an additional commission in addition to or of the required 2.5%.
In addition, trading on Etheruem is costly. The NFT collection will only be issued as a valid token that is non-fungible once your NFT bid is accepted. The costs for the process will depend on the market, but you can anticipate it to be in the range of $100 for each NFT.
It is also important to be aware that certain NFTs earn extra commissions. For instance, game developers get as much as 15% as commissions on the products they’ve sold.
What are the payment options?
OpenSea is not able to accept conventional currencies like US Dollar or Euros. It is necessary to set up your crypto wallet, where you’ll be able to convert the cryptocurrency into cash. This means that you can’t use PayPal credit, debit, or debit cards to pay for or make a deposit. Nft Aero Hybrid
The NFTs are only able to be purchased or sold when your cryptocurrency is accepted by OpenSea. Here’s a list of wallets and blockchains they support.

What are the pros and cons?
Let’s take a look at the advantages and drawbacks of using OpenSea.
OpenSea is decentralized, which makes transactions secure and almost impossible to be swindled. Furthermore, it is easy to invest in NFTs even if you do not have prior experience or know-how in coding or blockchain. Nft Aero Hybrid
They also provide a variety of digital assets, making them one of the largest NFT marketplaces. The low platform charges are also a good method to earn more income.
Although it’s decentralized and has one of the most diverse NFT collection, the service still has its limitations. OpenSea only accepts crypto as a form of payment. With no support for fiat and no support for transactions using currencies such as USD or Euros.
You will also need to create your crypto wallet to either sell or purchase from the platform.
Similar to cryptocurrency NFTs are also growing over the years. It’s very innovative and odd, but that’s the reason it is so appealing to people. OpenSea can be described as an NFT marketplace that can be a service to a broad range of NFTs. More categories can be involved as the industry becomes integrated with financial decentralization.
OpenSea’s ecosystem allows its customers to conduct transactions without having to worry about security and privacy. In addition, it doesn’t cost customers high charges. A 2.5 percentage fee on sales is reasonableconsidering that some marketplaces could charge as high as five percent.
In the end, OpenSea is an excellent marketplace both for NFT trading beginners or professionals.

Jennifer Rice reacts to restoration of Adult Basic Education and English Language Learning funding
Prince Rupert -North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice is pleased with Premier John Horgan’s announcement that tuition fees for Adult Basic Education (ABE) and English Language Learning (ELL) have been eliminated.
“No British Columbian should have to pay to upgrade their skills or for a high school diploma,” Rice said in regards to the restored ABE funding, “I recognize that people leave school for different reasons, but cost should never be a barrier to return. I am proud to be part of a government that makes good on campaign promises”
Rice added that the elimination of fees for English Language Learning will help new residents to B.C. and Canada integrate into the wider society.
“New residents of our province should have fewer barriers to integration, not more,” she said. “I hope all residents requiring either ELL or ABE will utilize these great opportunities being restored by the New Democrat government.”
The decision announced by BC Premier John Horgan reverses cuts made by the previous B.C. Liberal government in 2015, which allowed universities and colleges to charge up to $1,600 per semester for full-time adult learners.
The announcement was made in anticipation of the 2017 fall semester to bolster enrollment.

text: Customers and bystanders form a line outside a Silicon Valley Bank branch locationInternationalIndiaAfricaWASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The current serious banking sector problems in the United States will spill over to other countries and the Federal Reserve must end its high interest rate policy, former US Assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts told Sputnik. “Because of globalist interconnections, the serious problems in the United States would spread abroad,” Roberts said on Monday. The latest US banking crisis unfolded after members of the California-based Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) withdrew $42 billion in deposits. The SVB is one of top 20 US commercial banks, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). EconomySVB and Signature Bank Collapses May Herald Recession in United States13:16 GMTWhen asked what will happen next and if there could be more failures, Roberts said, “I think the Fed will have to discontinue its high interest rate policy as it is undermining balance sheets in the financial sector, thus raising the specter of widespread failure or of so much new money committed to rescue operations as to threaten the value of the US dollar.” The US government will ensure the bank deposits of Americans remain safe amid the collapse of two banks and that the United States does not experience another financial crisis, President Joe Biden said on Monday as he promised action against reckless risk taking by financial institutions. “The banking system is not safe, because the 5 largest US banks have risk exposure that is two times world GDP,” Roberts pointed out. “There is no possibility that the banks have capital to cover this risk.” Roberts noted that the specific causes of the two bank failures are different. “One failed because the Federal Reserve’s higher interest rates reduced the value of the bank’s bond portfolio. Seeing insolvency, depositors withdrew their deposits, causing the failure,” he explained. “The other failed bank resulted from declines in crypto-currency prices.” The general problem, Roberts underscored, is that higher interest rates on US Treasuries are causing deposit withdrawals from banks where interest rates on deposits are still near zero and very negative in real terms. “The banks have to sell financial assets to meet the withdrawals, and the sales cause a drop in prices of the assets,” he said. “Also, there are many trillions of derivatives that are sensitive to interest rate changes. Higher interest rates change the values of the derivatives, thus creating a looming problem.””The Federal Reserve has announced that all deposits are protected, not just for the insured amount, and that the Fed will make cash available to banks to cover the withdrawals,” Roberts added. “This is sensible.” Biden also said on Monday he was going to request Congress to review and strengthen post-financial crisis banking laws that were loosened by the previous administration, “to make sure that the crisis we saw in 2008 would not happen again.” EconomyHow Biden and the Fed Caused Silicon Valley Bank to Tank11 March, 17:45 GMTSVB is the largest US lender to fail since Washington Mutual collapsed in 2008 at the height of the financial crisis. The bank provided financing for almost half of US venture-backed technology and health care companies in the United States. At the end of 2022, SVB said it had $151.5 billion in uninsured deposits, $137.6 billion of which was held by US depositors. The bank’s total assets at the end of 2022 equaled $209 billion. The FDIC also took control of Signature, which had $110.36 billion in assets and $88.59 billion in deposits at the end of last year, according to the New York Department of Financial Services. Biden said the FDIC protection for depositors at SVB and Signature will not be extended to investors and the management at the collapsed banks, which he accused of excessive risk-taking. US media reported that both, regulators and the banking industry were working to contain the crisis. The bank that many have viewed as the likely next domino to fall – First Republic – has secured additional financing from JPMorgan Chase & Co during the weekend, resulting in $70 billion in unused liquidity – firepower it can use to respond to potential customer withdrawals, according to the report.

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, the leading Democrat in the California gubernatorial race, touted gun control as he addressed hundreds of protesters in Santa Ana on Saturday.
The protesters had gathered to participate in nationwide “#MarchForLife” protests calling for stricter gun control laws following the tragic school shooting at a Parkland, Florida high school that left 17 dead last month.
“We changed the trajectory of the debate, not just in this state but all across the rest of the country,” Newsom said of Proposition 63, a gun control initiative that requires background checks for ammunition and was approved in 2016. “Gun control saves lives!” Newsom told the crowd.
California has the some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation.
Newsom, who had actively campaigned for the passage of Prop 63, reportedly told those gathered, “Instead of booing, instead of complaining, you decided to step up and step in and we passed Proposition 63. You said, ‘Enough!’ You said, ‘We will be the example.'”
Dozens of large crowds gathered in over a dozen Southern California cities on Saturday. A large march also took place in Washington, D.C.
Many Hollywood liberals chimed in with their support for the march over social media:

Safe staffing in Welsh hospitals needs more than an acuity tool, says Lib Dem leader
Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams gives evidence to health committee on Safe Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Bill
Ensuring safe nurse staffing in Welsh hospitals requires more than health boards being directed to use an acuity tool, Welsh ministers have been told.
The health and social care committee of the Welsh assembly heard evidence from Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams this morning about her Safe Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Bill.
If the bill becomes law, it would require the country’s health boards to ensure they satisfy minimum nurse to patient ratios in adult inpatient wards in acute hospitals.
In correspondence to the committee, Welsh health minister Mark Drakeford said he could mandate the use of an acuity tool, developed by the Welsh Government and the country's health service, to achieve the same safe staffing aims as the bill.
The acuity tool, which is still under development, can be used by health boards to determine staffing numbers required to meet patient needs and Mr Drakeford said he could direct the health boards in writing to use it.
Plaid Cymru's Elin Jones asked if Ms Williams would be willing to accept a mandated acuity tool rather than mandating minimum ratios as the bill requires.
Ms Williams said: ‘If we are completely reliant on it, it is a step forward from where we are now, but it does not create a statutory obligation.
‘It is only used on a ward by ward basis. It is not an overarching strategy aim. Acuity is just one element in delivering safe staffing.’
The committee is due to hear further evidence on the bill later today.


Kyly Clarke speaks after news of her divorce with Michael Clarke goes public
Kyly Clarke says she is doing fine after news broke this week of her upcoming divorce from former Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke.
The pair confirmed on Wednesday night they are splitting up but will continue to co-parent their four-year-old daughter Kelsey Lee.
Asked by Daily Mail Australia outside a gym in Bondi in Sydney’s eastern suburbs if she was coping OK, Kyly said: “Of course I am.”
She also said Kelsey Lee “is doing amazing” but added she “wanted privacy”.
“We said everything we wanted to say in our statement,” said Kyly, who was not wearing her wedding ring.
Clarke was spotted having drinks at Bondi bar Hotel Ravesis on Thursday with new colleague and rugby league legend Laurie Daley as news of his marriage breakdown made headlines across the country.
On Thursday afternoon Clarke announced his new job as co-host alongside Daley of Sky Sports Radio’s Big Sports Breakfast.
The Australian reported Clarke and Kyly have been separated for the past five months and in a statement the couple said: “After living apart for some time, we have made the difficult decision to separate as a couple, amicably.
“With the greatest of respect for each other, we’ve come to the mutual conclusion that this is the best course for us to take while committed to the co-parenting of our daughter.”
Clarke has reportedly been living at his Bondi apartment for the past several months after moving out of his and Kyly’s $12 million Vaucluse home in Sydney’s east.
Just a week ago, Clarke uploaded a photo to Instagram of himself flying solo at the beachside pad — which has since been sold for just over $7 million.
Clarke and Kyly went to school together at Sydney’s Westfields Sports High but didn’t start dating until many years later, after Clarke’s engagement with Lara Worthington (nee Bingle) was broken off in 2010.
Writing about a chance encounter with Kyly in his 2016 book Michael Clarke: My Story, the 115-Test veteran said: “In 2007, before I began dating Lara, I introduced myself to Kyly at a bar in Cronulla. We reconnected over a drink, and as we left, I sent my best mate Steve Phillips to ask for her number.
“She declined, saying I could come and ask myself. Now I was so embarrassed, I decided to leave it to chance, hoping we would bump into each other at another stage.”
Fortunately for Clarke, fate came calling and after his and Worthington’s relationship ended, Kyly reached out to him on Twitter when he was on tour in the West Indies and the pair started dating soon after.
They got married in 2012 in front of family and close friends and welcomed Kelsey Lee into the world in 2015.


text: Another plateau. What fascinates me about the process of writing a novel - one of the things - is how an idea seems to come when I acknowledge the need for one, as if it has been waiting for an invitation. I felt something was missing, that the first person voice focussed the story but perhaps in too narrow a fashion. Now I have an idea that not only widens the focus but also helps me firm allusions to Dos Passos. By letting the new melange rest for about a month, until I am back in B.C. and working on my usual computer and have access to research materials I collected, I should be prepared to complete a final, so-called, draft, because the process of revision never ends, only stops from time to time.

According to Safer Jobs, a not-for-profit organisation set up by the Metropolitan Police, 75% of people now begin their job searches online.
Whilst this allows access to a huge range of opportunities, it also creates a more anonymous space where job scams and fraud are becoming increasingly prevalent. 18-24 year olds are the most at risk group and the average losses are £4,000.
This brief guide will explain the most common scams and how you can stay safe while searching for your new job.
How do these scams work?
Later in this article we have some practical advice for spotting a scam, but the following list includes some of the most common:
- Advance fee scams
- These involve being asked for money up-front, before you start. It can be for CV processing, admin fees, visa fees, training programmes, equipment or set up costs.
- Telephone scams
- You may be asked to phone in for an interview only to be put on hold (or kept on the phone for a long time) – if it is a premium rate number then your bill could be a big surprise.
- Data theft
- If you give out personal information such as date of birth, address, passport number or bank account details, this can be used to steal your identity and take out loans or credit cards.
- Illegal money movement
- If you are asked to write or cash cheques, make wire transfers or purchase items with company money, this could be money laundering or another illegal activity.
How to spot a scam
If a job seems too good to be true, it probably is. Here are some of the most important signs that the job may not be a real opportunity:
- Email contact is from a general address such as @gmail or @yahoo.
- You are asked to pay any money in advance
- You are promised high pay for not much work and they use examples and testimonials to back up their claims
- There are grammar or spelling errors in communications
- They ask for bank details early in the process (eventually, all employers will need these details, but not early on)
- There is not a clear, well written job specification
- You are offered the job with no interview or after a single phone call or email conversation
- You are being pressured to act immediately
- There are claims such as ‘no experience needed’
- The job is based completely at home and you are never invited to their office or place of work (note that not all home based work is fraudulent, but you should be more alert when that is the case)
- They don’t have a website, or their website is very new – you can check these online using free tools
- You can’t find detailed information online (in particular, with Companies House)
How to stay safe
We advise some simple steps that can help you to stay safe while searching for a job.
- Make sure you have appropriate anti-virus and security software installed on the device you are using
- Do not open attachments or embedded media from a source you don’t trust
- Verify that a company is legitimate (with Companies House or, if abroad, with the UK embassy in that country)
- Do not include the following on your CV
- Bank details
- Date of Birth
- Full address
- Passport, NI or driving license numbers
- Check email addresses and recipient lists on any unsolicited emails
- Ask your family and friends if they think something is suspicious
- If you are asked to call someone, check the number you are dialling is not a premium rate number (generally, standard landlines and mobile numbers are OK, although others are also ok – for example, Morgan Jones has a freephone 0808 number. It is best to check online)
- Always ask for a defined job specification
- Avoid acting quickly – if you are being pressured to do so then that is a warning sign
- Never move money from or to your own account
- If you are contacted by a recruitment agency, check that they are members of the REC, TEAM or EPSCo
- If they ask for money, walk away. There are no circumstances in which a legitimate employer will ask for money up front
- Be extremely vigilant on social media or chat rooms – legitimate employers may use these for hiring, but you will usually be directed elsewhere to apply officially
- Very few employers will reach out directly to candidates, but recruitment agencies will. If you are contacted by an agency, do an immediate check online for the company
What to do if you suspect a job is a scam
If you suspect a job is fraudulent then you should trust your instinct. If they are offering fast, hassle free money, you need to take a step back and check all the above points.
Always report suspected fraud on the Action Fraud website or by calling
0300 123 2040 .
Action Fraud will provide advice, but if you feel that your personal data may have been compromised then you may need to take appropriate action such as deactivating bank cards or accounts. Please do this only under the advice of the relevant organisation – this is a very serious matter and we can not comment on what to do in individual cases.
But our most simple advice is the same you probably heard as a child –
“If it seems too good to be true, it probably is”


AirPro Diagnostics announced that its Auggie mobile static recalibration device has been independently tested and calibrations performed prove to meet the NHTSA vehicle requirements to help ensure a complete and safe repair.
FT Techno of America (FTTA) an independent vehicle evaluation company, performed NHTSA NCAP crash imminent braking (CIB), or AEB, and lane departure warning (LDW) test scenarios on a vehicle recalibrated with Auggie and determined that the vehicle successfully passed all CIB and LDW tests performed at the Fowlerville Proving Grounds to the NHTSA testing standard. The tests included both solid and dashed line scenarios for LDW along with CIB/AEB testing on a moving vehicle and stationary vehicle. Additional CIB/AEB testing was successfully performed on a stationary pedestrian to a hybrid of current ADAS standards. All tests passed.
“This independent testing to the NHTSA standards now validates the claims we have made that the Auggie portable device is safe and OEM compatible,” said Josh McFarlin, president and COO of AirPro Diagnostics. “AirPro engineers and testing personnel have worked diligently over the last five years developing our patented algorithms on thousands of vehicles to ensure safety with our tested and proven game-changing Auggie.“
The Fowlerville Proving Grounds, situated on 950 acres in southeast Michigan, is a world-class, independent proving ground fully equipped with professional engineering and operations staff. The facility boasts multiple test tracks, including a 20-acre dynamic pad, three-mile oval track, ADAS test facility and more to test vehicles and equipment manufacturers’ new technologies.
Auggie is a wireless, compact solution that saves time and increases efficiency rendering the ADAS targets and lighting conditions in a theater-like environment to precisely perform forward-facing camera (FFC) recalibrations.

HTC One 2014 (aka the HTC M8) leaked, dual-camera and gold colouring confirmed
Full details of the flagship device are expected on 25 March
The first press shots of HTC’s new flagship smartphone have been leaked, confirming that the device will feature a dual-lens camera and be available in gold.
The struggling electronics manufacturer has sent out invitations to an event presumed to be the phone’s official launch on 25 March, but as ever, @evleaks (a reliable source of leaked images) has revealed the gadget ahead of time.
Visually, the phone is very similar to the HTC One, featuring the same BoomSound speakers located at the top and bottom of the device to offer stereo sound in landscape mode.
Alongside the dual camera setup (which will reportedly allow pictures to be refocused after they’ve been taken) the other major change is the disappearance of capacitive buttons. Instead the back, home, and options button appear at the bottom of the touchscreen itself.
Previously leaks have suggested that the updated One (which has been variously called the M8, One 2, One+ and HTC Two) will feature a 5-inch screen with a 1440x2560 resolution, quad-core processor, and 2GB of RAM running Android 4.4 KitKat.
HTC will be hoping the updated One will boost their presence in the high end market. Their most recent financial reports released this January revealed that sales had fallen by 42.46 per cent in December.
The company also announced this week that they would be offering users free fixes for broken screens on the One, One Max and One Mini in the US as part of bundle of perks meant to attract (and hold on to) customers.
“There is a need to make sure that that money spent to buy these premium devices goes further. That the phones are taken care of. That customers are taken care of,” said the company.

Are you looking for a healthy, vegan, but delicious substitute for shredded chicken so that you won’t have to give up on your favorite recipe?
This blog post will introduce you to a few of the best alternatives for shredded chicken, and the best part is that they are vegan.
Let’s check it out!
What is shredded chicken?
Shredded chicken is a quick and delicious way to make a hearty meal.
It is cooked chicken (often chicken breast) that is pulled apart by hands or forks.
It can be made from either chicken thighs or a mixture of chicken breast and chicken thighs too.
There are different ways to cook chicken before shredding it, like poaching, roasting, or grilling.
The point is to keep the chicken meat moist so that you won’t end up with a dry and chewy dish.
Shredded chicken can be used in tons of recipes like tacos, sandwiches, salads, soups, and more.
It pairs well with spices and herbs like salt, pepper, onion, garlic, bay leaves, or cumin.
You can also toss the shredded chicken in a BBQ or creamy sauce per your preference before serving.
Can you substitute shredded chicken with a vegan alternative in cooking recipes?
Normally, people substitute other kinds of shredded meat like shredded beef or pork for shredded chicken.
And it might sound impossible to use a vegan ingredient in place of shredded chicken.
However, it turns out to be very easy to alternate shredded chicken with a meat-free ingredient.
There are many plant-based or soy-based products that have the same meaty texture and can work well to substitute for shredded chicken in any cooking recipe.
They might not have the chicken flavor like real chicken meat, but you can easily season them to make these alternatives more flavorful and savory.
What vegan substitutes can you use in place of shredded chicken?
Below is a list of five common ingredients that can be used in place of shredded chicken in your next recipe:

ZAHLE, Lebanon – After having completed hearings, investigative judge Tariq Bitar has taken serious steps in his investigations into the August 2020 Beirut port explosion by demanding the lifting of immunity of high-ranking politicians, including the caretaker Prime Minister Hassan Diab, and military and security officials. Bitar sent a letter to Lebanese parliament and the Beirut and Tripoli Bar Associations, requesting the lifting of parliamentary immunity of ministers who were former lawyers for them to be interrogated for possible crimes and negligence.
The Beirut Port explosion was caused because of the irresponsible storage of tons of ammonium nitrate inside the Beirut port. The massive explosion killed hundreds, wounded thousands, and destroyed the already fragile infrastructure of Beirut and Lebanon.
Secretary General of the Universal Syriac Union Party (USUP) in Lebanon and lawyer Michel Mallo told Syriac Satellite Channel Suroyo TV in an interview on Sunday, that USUP from the beginning has held Hezbollah and its proxy Lebanese government directly and indirectly responsible for the explosion.
“Their indirect responsibility is neglect, recklessness, the random appointment of inexperienced and incompetent people to sensitive administrative positions within the port, the international airport, and all departments of the Lebanese state. Their direct responsibility is the complete domination by Hezbollah of the economy of the port, border crossings and the state as a whole.”
Mallo indicated that Hezbollah was able to import the explosive material ammonium nitrate because it is the only non-state armed actor in Lebanon. It has established its own state within the Lebanese state.
As for Bitar’s judicial decision to lift imunity, Michel Mallo declared that his party values the efforts of honorable judges who try to bring about change to the current misery and deadlock. The first step of change begins with the judiciary. Judicial sessions against officials must be taken serious. Else culprits will evade accountability like they have done in many previous important criminal cases in which witnesses and judges were threatened or otherwise persuaded. Mallo, himself a lawyer, demanded to also summon other officials to appear before the court, including the President, Prime Minister, and Members of Parliament. They all have done nothing, he said, while they knew of the presence of the dangerous materials in the port of Beirut.
Communications between Lebanese officials and responsible politicians prove that they were aware of the dangers, especially Prime Minister Hassan Diab. Diab canceled a visit to the port weeks before the disaster because “Diab received a message that included warnings about the presence of high explosive material in the port,” Mallo said.
