Spinners Quarter

[Alexandrin Chaples]

Agroup of people sit around a flat table with one quarter. Oneperson takes the quarter and stands it on edge on the table, holding itwith the end of his/her finger. with his other hand, (or with the samehand holding the quarter), he hits the quarter, causing it to spin (likea top) across the table.

Immediately after "spinning" the quarter, he/she calls the name ofsomeone else sitting at the table. This person must then do one of twothings: stop the quarter from spinning by capturing it (still on edge) with the tip of his/her index finger. hit the quarter using his/her finger so that it continues to spin on edge; after which they call someone elses name.

This Court taking into serious Consideration the present freights and necessities of the Country, in respect of Cloathing, which is not like to be so plentifully supplied from foreign parts as in times past, and now knowing any better way or means conduceable to our subsistence, then the improving of as many hands as may be in Spinning Wool, Cotton, Flax, &c.

Doth therefore Order, and be in Ordered by the Authority of this Court; That all hands not necessarily imployed on other occasions, as Women, Girls and Boyes, shall and hereby are enjoyned to Spin according to their skill and ability; and that the Select men in every Town do consider the condition and capacity of every family, and accordingly do assess them at one or more Spinners;

And because Several Families are necessarily imployed the greatest part of their time in other business, yet if opportunities were attended, some time might be spared, at least be some of them for this work;

And every one thus aforesaid, for a whole Spinner, shall for time to come, Spin every Year for thirty Weeks, three pound a Week of Linnen, Cotton or Woollen, and so proportionably for half and quarter Spinners, under the penalty of twelve pence a pound short.

And the Select Men shall take special care for the Execution of the Order, which may easily be effected by dividing their several towns into ten, six, five, &c. parts, and to appoint one of the ten, six, five, &c. to take an account of their Divisions, and to certifie the Select Men, if any be defective in what they are Assessed, who shall improve the penalties imposed on such as are negligent, for the encouragement of those that are diligent in this work, [1655]

Mobile communication systems are constantly at risk of being adversely affected or damaged by overvoltages, induced DC voltages etc. Protective devices such as surge protectors are used to offset these external influences.

They have the job of safeguarding the connected system without interfering with its operation. Products from SPINNER are excellent suited for protecting mobile communication installations, due to their low PIM, attenuation and reflection.

Overvoltages are typically the result of electromagnetic induction because of events such as lightning strikes. A reliable protection against surges is given only by a proper installation and regular maintenance depending on the protector type. The maintenance intervals depend mainly upon the number and the strength of the impulse current impacts.

The Surge protector 7-16 male to 7-16 female 3000 W 380-512 MHz quarter wavelength stub guarantees excellent, lossless mobile communication quality for use in in-building distributed antenna systems (DAS) or on mobile communication base stations outdoors.

This kind of surge protector with quarter wavelength stub is suitable for applications with single or multiple combined mobile communication bands (e. g. GSM900, GSM1800 and UMTS). DC transmission via the coaxial ports is not possible with this type. The stub can be orthogonal to or folded into the axis of the main line (In line design).

The Surge protector 7-16 male to 7-16 female 3000 W 380-512 MHz quarter wavelength stub enables you to transmit high-frequency signals reliably and flawlessly with optimum protection of your sensitive equipment in a power range up to 3000 W with maximum passive intermodulation (IM3).

The 7-16 connector has become the most widely used coaxial connection system for mobile communication systems, due to its excellent mechanical and electrical properties. In order to achieve the industry leading intermodulation performance SPINNER applies silver-plating on all inner and outer conductor parts of the standard connector. As a supporting measure, we use exclusively non-magnetic materials, and we have minimized the number of RF contact points. The connection is especially suited for transmitting medium or high power indoors and outdoors.

The Indian spin quartet is the collective name given to the Indian cricket spin bowlers of the 1960s and 1970s: Erapalli Prasanna and Srinivas Venkataraghavan (both off spinners), Bhagwat Chandrasekhar (a leg spinner), and Bishen Singh Bedi (a left-arm spinner). Among them, they played 231 Test matches, taking 853 wickets. They were one of the most deadly combinations in world cricket, especially on the dusty subcontinental pitches.

The spin quartet was instrumental in producing many Indian Test victories. There was only one match in which all four of them were in the starting XI: usually one of the off spinners, Prasanna or Venkataraghavan, was left out. However, these four men made important contributions to some of India's greatest triumphs, including Test series victories in the West Indies and England, as well as Test victories in Australia and New Zealand.

Out of the four, only Venkataraghavan and Bedi played regular one-day cricket for India. Prasanna never played ODIs, and Chandrasekhar played just one game, against New Zealand in 1976. Bedi and Venkatarghavan played in 10 ODIs together, which included the World Cups of 1975 and 1979.

The spin quartet played a combined 231 Tests for India from 1962 to 1983, and grabbed 853 wickets, with 43 five-wicket inning hauls.[3] Much of this success can be attributed to the different bowling styles these bowlers possessed. Bedi was an orthodox left arm-spinner, while Chandrasekhar an attacking leg-break bowler whereas Prasanna and Venkataraghavan were both off-spinners. This way, they could target all kinds of batsmen in the opposition and give their captains plenty of options. It was Chandrasekhar and Bedi who were the leaders of the attack. The two played 42 Tests alongside each other and had almost similar figures, of 184 wickets each. Bedi averaged 27.22, while Chandra averaged 28.70 in these games.[4]

My wife and I both use the Ucard to get $10 per month credits for walking. In the past we could get Amazon gift cards at the end of the year and it worked perfectly. Now it seems you have to shop at Walmart and the experience has been horrifying. The items we scan all show not eligible at our walmart. I went online to see what is eligible and it's all junk food we don't eat. I feel this program is useless to us now and all incentive is gone. Time to shop for another plan.

I thought I should update this discussion with something I found about the OTC benefits and eligibility of items. This might help explain my experience at Walmart I covered in a previous post. I found quite by accident that if you scan the UPC code on some items it will say it is eligible for purchase but only using your general rewards balance on your U-card. items that are actually for purchase on the OTC balance will show they can be purchased with either the OTC balance or Rewards balance.

With this knowledge I was able to go to Walmart and successfully use my spouse's OTC balance on eligible items without have to use any of his general Rewards balance. It is interesting to note that none of the 4 or 5 UHC customer service reps I spoke with were aware of this issue. I found it only by playing around with the app and finding items that scanned as eligible for purchase but not with the OTC credit.

I am member of UHC since 2019 and I do have the U card that was started this year. I do have a question about the card, who should I go to to ask a question about the U card? I called the nmber on my card but they did not have an answer for my question.

Yes, I use my Rewards benefits. We both get the $10/ month reward for walking 5000 steps for 10 days. I can almost get that from normal daily activities if I carry my phone. So far this year I have earned at least $100 from getting my annual physical, flu shot, etc. I have used the card at both Walmart and Publix.

My experience using the OTC benefit at Walmart is mixed. I first scan the bar code on the item using the scanner in the app to see if it is eligible. We used to use the online catalog to order but found the items are over priced and often out of stock.

Last week I went to Walmart and spent over an hour picking out items I could use and scanning eligible items. My purchases totaled $69.88 so they should have all come out of the $70 OTC benefit for this quarter. When I paid using my U-Card I found that only around $50 came from my OTC credit and the rest was deducted from my Rewards benefit. I had no way of knowing this would happen and I am positive every item I bought scanned as eligible. I have also found they exclude economy sized items and twin packs on things like Vitamin C, 81 mg aspirin etc. even when the smaller size is eligible.

I used the chat help on the UHC web site and they were useless. I had asked them to move money from my OTC balance over to my rewards balance. They said they could not do that and said I needed to call Healthy Benefits Plus who administers the program. I waited on hold for 20 minutes and gave up.
