![]() He had already been warned he could be moved to another post, and he alleges the unwanted move was because of his age and the boss’s desire to replace him with a woman. Mr Clements says he was forced from his job as the senior executive in charge of protecting Lloyds’ systems from crises just four months after raising his concerns. The problems were so severe they threatened to ' destabilise the British economy', it was said today.īut he said that when he tried to flag up the worrying deficiencies to his boss last March he was told to 'burn the paper' it was written on and the issue was effectively buried. Mr Clements claims he discovered 'startling' failures in the bank’s IT Disaster Recovery back-up system that left the bank vulnerable to failures that could bring it down. Stephen Clements, 51, the former head of the business continuity at Lloyds Banking Group, alleges there was a deliberate cover-up to stop the flaws being dealt with due to the cost of repairing the problem and the potential damage to the bank's reputation.

As well as losing thousands of pounds they also have to deal with this emotional betrayal. Liz Ziegler, fraud prevention director at Lloyds Bank, told the ECHO: “The convincing lies told by fraudsters mean that while romance scam victims think they are falling in love, they’re actually falling for a scam. They might appear reluctant to accept any help at first, but this is all part of the con.Īmounts could be small to begin with, but over time they convince their victim to send more and more money.

The fraudster may have scoured social profiles to help persuade their victim that they are the perfect match based on shared interests or personal circumstances. Typically they will come across as very caring and attentive, messaging back and forth, sometimes over a period of months, to build trust and give the impression that the relationship is genuine. But they might quickly try to move the conversation onto another private messaging platform, like WhatsApp. Scammers will usually target victims on social media platforms, particularly Facebook, or dating apps, such as Tinder. Those aged between 65 and 74 were the most likely to be tricked into sending money to a fraudster masquerading as a romantic partner, with the average amount they lost just over £12,000.Ĭases were reported right across the UK, but the South East of England was a particular hot spot, as relative to population size, the number of victims was around 15% higher than the national average.

![]() ![]() This cleverly conceived tool assisted two inmates in their escape from Ludwigsburg prison, Germany, on August 19, 1987. GRAPPLING HOOK - with segmented extension rod (13 segments, overall length: 4.5 meters) rope made of leather and string. Also suitable as a means of cell-to-cell communication among inmates. Prisoners occasionally manage to install gizmos like this one in guard-rooms to be prepared for upcoming cell searches. RADIO TRANSMITTER/BUG - made of radio recorder parts by an inmate of Wolfenbüttel prison, Germany (battery is missing). The mock weapon was found in 1994 in a prison workshop in Wolfenbüttel prison, Germany, after jailers were tipped off that an escape attempt was being planned. The grisly weapon was found around 1996 in ‘Santa Fu’ jail in Hamburg, Germany, in the cell of a drug addicted inmate after his failed attempt to extort a higher Methadone ration by threatening a female prison officer with a knife.ĭUMMY SUBMACHINE GUN - made from a grease injector, wood, a rubber sleeve, and tape. Around 1984 his behaviour finally got the attention of the jailers who gave the prosthesis a check. NARCOTICS CACHE - In a hollow space inside his artificial leg a prisoner in open detention frequently smuggled narcotics into ‘Santa Fu’ prison in Hamburg, Germany. It is either a weapon, or, attached to a pole, might have been designed to push away barbed wire from the top of a wall during an escape. MACE - This instrument was found in 1997 in the metal workshop of ‘Santa Fu’ prison in Hamburg, Germany, where an unknown inmate manufactured and hid it. On October 10, 1994, inmates Gerhard Polak and Raimund Albert used this ladder during their successful escape from ‘Santa Fu’ prison in Hamburg, LADDER - made of steel rails from bookshelves. They were loaded with pieces of steel and match-heads. The weapons had been made in the prison’s metal workshop. The range of materials they are made of mirrors the inmates’ great imagination.ĭOUBLE-BARRELED PISTOL - This gun was found along with other homemade firearms in the cell of two Celle prison inmates on November 15, 1984. Smoking implements are the most common illicit items in prisons. ![]() HASH PIPE - fashioned from an empty horseradish tube confiscated in ‘Santa Fu’ prison in Hamburg, Germany. The weapon was found in a cell in the prison of Wolfenbüttel, Germany, sometime around 1993. KNUCKLEDUSTER - with padded handle, made from a rasp that was presumably stolen from a prison workshop. Your typical inmate’s moonshine still includes a plastic can containing fermented fruit mash or juice, an immersion coil of some sort, a rubber hose, and a plastic receptacle for the booze. Jailbirds use these tools to distil alcoholic beverages forbidden in prisons. IMMERSION HEATER - made from razor blades found in a cell in ‘Santa Fu’ jail in Hamburg, Germany. ![]() At that time a lot of crucifixes were fashioned in prison woodshops until jailers finally figured out their true purpose. SHIV - disguised as a wooden crucifix found in an inmate’s cell in Wolfenbüttel prison, Germany, sometime around 1994 intended for use in an escape or as a general weapon. On two inmates of a prison in Celle, Germany, took a jailer as a hostage, showed off their fire power by letting go at a pane of bullet-proof glass, and escaped by car. SHOTGUN - made from iron bedposts charge made of pieces of lead from curtain tape and match-heads, to be ignited by AA batteries and a broken light bulb. Photographer Marc Steinmetz must have understood this when he set out to create the fantastic photo essay we've printed below, showing some of the most cunning and creative improvised weapons and tools built by inmates in his home country of Germany.Īll images and captions, Marc Steinmetz photography It seems nothing brings out the ingenuity in a person like an endless sea of days spent staring through bars and thinking about freedom. Keeping up with inmate improvisation is an endless and thankless project. ![]() ![]() ![]() If the pickup is accidently pushed out during saddle replacement, it can easily be put back into the bridge by pushing it up through the three pickup holes. Repeat the process for the other string pairings (D/G - B/E).Īdditional Note: The pickup system is held in place in the guitar by the pressure of the sensors against the saddle. This will increase the pressure on the sensors. This will loosen the pressure on the sensor.ģ) To engage the pickup for those strings, turn the screw back again clockwise ¼ turn at a time while plucking the strings until the sound of the strings returns. We suggest that any adjustments for sound be made using the following process:ġ) Plug the guitar in and turn the volume up.Ģ) While plucking sets of two strings at a time, turn the adjustment screw associated with those strings (E/A - D/G - B/E) one turn counterclockwise until the sound of those strings diminishes. Approximately one full turn of the tension screw is the maximum amount of pressure variance. Changing the tension on the sensors will change the timbre of the sound and volume of the pickup slightly. Very light pressure on the sensors is all that is needed to make the system work well. Once the saddle is placed back in the slot, the pickup sensors can be reset with the saddle by turning them clockwise 1-½ turns. Turning the hex key counterclockwise 1-½ turns will back the sensor arms away from the saddle so it can be removed from the slot easily. To remove the saddle: The pickup sensors must first be loosened (backed away from the saddle) by loosening the pressure adjustment screws located on top of the housings behind the saddle. Note: The saddle should not be removed or replaced without first loosening the adjustment screws located on the top of the pickup housings. ![]() The small adjustment screws on top move the arms forward and backward, increasing and decreasing the pressure of the pickup sensors against the lower rear portion of the saddle, similar to pushing on a brake pedal in a car. The small, visible circles behind the bridge contain tiny adjustable arms. Pressure on each sensor is controlled by turning the adjustment screws (visible behind the saddle see photo below). ![]() The individual pickup pressures are factory set and will likely only need to be adjusted if the saddle is being removed or replaced. The ES2 utilizes three uniquely positioned, individually calibrated pickup sensors located behind the saddle. When you replace your battery, write the date on it with a permanent marker to track how long the battery has been in the guitar. Tip: Batteries can leak if left unused for long periods of time. ![]() Remove the battery and replace with a new one, paying close attention to the positive/ negative orientation shown inside the carriage. To change the battery, release the clip on the battery carriage (located along the tail line of the guitar) by pushing it toward the input jack. If your amplified tone begins to sound distorted, the battery most likely needs to be replaced. An LED battery life indicator is visible and located inside the soundhole on the preamp circuit board. Removing the cable will return the system to “off” mode and conserve battery life. The pickup is in an “off” state until a cable is inserted, which activates the preamp. The ES2 conserves battery life using a standard, automatic on/off system. A new battery will provide 30-40 hours of plugged-in use. Taylor recommends Duracell® for optimal performance and long life. ![]() ![]() ![]() Terri Marsh Felder asked about dressing rooms. I don't remember this episode, but I do remember breaking the "ice" in the bucket, which was really made of wax. I am about to be handed Chance's lead, by the livestock wrangler who was responsible for the cow. In this behind-the-scenes photo, you can see the top of his head. I was thinking about "The Ferris Wheel", which was directed by one of my favorite directors, Larry Dobkin. While I have no memory of this clip, I do remember meeting Mary Tyler Moore and Carol Burnett and watching Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance play cards.ĬBS on the Air - A Celebration of 50Years Featuring cast members of The Waltons My poor Mom searched everywhere trying to find something appropriate for a 13-year-old. When CBS did their 50 year anniversary special, they told my Mom that I need to have floor-length formal black dress. I can remember quite a few arguments over it in the makeup room at the start of an episode. And any young, male guest star was appalled to discover the hair stylist wanted to cut their hair, so it would be "period". It reminded me how the boys suffered with short, above the collar hair when the style of the 70's was long. My husband asked about our hair on the show. When Elizabeth was locked in the trunk, my mother says that my brother, who was seated next to me, looked up at her, wide-eyed, and whispered, "Does she ever get out?" They screened it for the cast and our families. The Foundling was the second show we filmed and the first show aired. However, whatever you ate in the printed master had to match what you did in other shots, to ease the work of the editors. Then as the set was re-lit and camera re-positioned for close-ups and other angles of the the same scene, the food would cool and age and then become less appealing. The food would be fresh at first, as we shot the "master" takes. In reality it opened to nothing, just the back of the kitchen walls, but further along was a kind of kitchen where the prop man would make the food for the eating scenes. It was used as the entry to a pantry or root cellar in an episode or two, I think. Someone asked about the door to the right of the stove. The wall behind grandma's ironing board was most often missing, and in its place a camera, cameraman, focus puller, lights, electricians, sound boom, sound man, sound mixer & his board, script supervisor, director, and so on. Each wall was temporary, and they would remove them as needed. The sets were spread out to make space for lights and the camera. Sound stages are soundproofed, so we never had to worry about jets while filming in stage 26. When we filmed outdoors, we often had to stop a scene and shoot it again because a jet flew overhead. We would get to work, dress, rehearse, go to school, film, go back to school while they set up camera/lights/sound, return to set to do closeups, and so on.Ī group photo from our tour of the Warner Ranch.

![]() ![]() ![]() JCNJ’s religious activities expanded rapidly with Jains coming to the new Derasar in large numbers on various events. Gurudev Chitrabhanuji and Acharya Sushilmuniji provided inspiration and valuable guidance to JCNJ during its formative years. Pratishtha Mahotsav of the Derasar was held in August 1982. Shri Pratapbhai Shah, father of Ramesh Shah donated three Pratimaji – Mulnayak Parshwanath, Mahavir Swami and Ruhsabhdev – to JCNJ. This Derasar is popularly known as the Caldwell Derasar due to its proximity to the larger town of Caldwell and continues to serve JCNJ members in a vibrant manner. Contributions and loans from the members provided financing for the purchase and renovation. In 1981 JCNJ bought a property at 233 Runnymede Road in Essex Fells and renovated it to establish a Derasar. Just two years after the establishment of JCNJ, the members’ dream of having their own temple was realized. A small directory of the Jains living in the area was published in summer 1982. IRS granted tax‐exempt status to JCNJ on July 9, 1981. Constitution of the JCNJ was adopted on November 21, 1980. On August 31, 1980, the Sangh incorporated Jain Center of New Jersey (JCNJ). ![]() Pujya Guruji provided guidance to the Sangh for the formation of Jain Center. A religious discourse was held in a peaceful setting at a park in Bloomfield, New Jersey. Pujya Gurudev Chitrabhanuji came to bless this New Jersey Sangh in the summer of 1978. In keeping with our ancient heritage, the Sangh started to think about having their own Jain Center. Major Jain events such as Mahavir Jayanti, Paryushan Parva and other occasions started being celebrated in various churches and rented halls. This gathering sowed seeds for the creation of Jain Sangh and expansion in activities. This group made announcements on community TV programs to publicize and encourage participation by those who were not aware of such activities.Ī major religious get together took place in 1976 at a church in Maplewood a 100+ Jains attended this gathering. Activities were held in homes and rented halls. These activities included prayers, meetings, poojas and pratikramans. It can be said without any doubt that the major part of this continuing story is still to be written by the young and future generations of New Jersey Jains for whom this is just the beginning.Ī small group of people in the Newark/Maplewood/Orange tri‐city area in New Jersey got together and began performing activities to bring awareness of Jain religion. This flow of Jains continues through the decades and brings us to the present day in 2012. The story begins with the period of the early 1970s when a significant number of Jains started to arrive and settle in New Jersey. The history of the Jain Center of New Jersey (JCNJ), one of the largest Jain Sangh in North America, is a story of vision, dedication and a strong commitment to nurturing Jain religion in New Jersey and the surrounding areas.
