1776-1777 - Framilode to Bristol Road
The first chargeable cargo of coal was landed at Bristol Road Wharf on the 12 December 1776, and by the end of the year 399 tons of coal had been landed at the wharf. During 1777 a further 9550 tons of cargo, mostly coal, was landed at the Wharf. The first outgoing cargo was 13 tons of cheese loaded in April, but only another 73 tons of goods are recorded as going downstream from Bristol Road.
The majority of the coal (7035 tons) came down the Severn from the Shropshire fields around Ironbridge. 639 tons of Staffordshire coal came down the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal to Stourport and then down the Severn. Only 167 tons came across the river from the Forest of Dean, while 284 tons came up the Bristol Channel from Tenby. For 1249 tons of coal no source was recorded.
Other incoming cargoes included 27 tons of bricks, 20 tons of stone, 58 tons of 'stinkers' and 4 tons of wool. Outgoing cargoes included 79 tons of timber and bark, 1 ton of cyder and 2 tons of 'household goods'.
The main consignees for coal were Grazebrook & Co (4713 tons) and Samuel Collins, wharfinger at Bristol Road, (4509 tons). Other coal traders included Mr Palmer (331 tons) and Samuel Stephens (53 tons of coal and 16 tons of Stourbridge bricks).
During this period a single charge of one shilling (5p) a ton was made for all cargoes. Total income for 1776-1777 was £507.
What happened to the 10,000 tons coal? Bristol Road Wharf is 3 miles from Stonehouse, 6 miles from Stroud, 9 miles from Nailsworth and 10 miles from Chalford. A letter from James Bough in 1777 gives the cost of moving a waggon of coal from Bristol Road to Stroud as 10 shillings. If the average load for a waggon was 2-3 tons, some 3-4000 loads would have needed to travel along the Stroud Turnpike, which ran from Framilode Passage, via Whitminster Cross toll gate, to Stroud. Traffic jams at Cainscross toll gate may have occurred on busy days.
1778 - Opening of the wharf at Chippenhams Platt
In November 1777 the committee ordered that "an acre of Mr Stephens's land next to West Field be measured and enclosed for the Coal Wharf". The location, between Westfield Lock and Dock Lock, was referred to at the time as Chippenhams Platt. Later it became the company's maintenance yard and a new coal wharf was built adjacent to Pike Lock and the turnpike to Eastington.
The minutes for 8 January 1778 record that Joseph Grazebrook "has leave to Build a Temporary Warehouse on the waste Land at Chippenhams Platt he finding all the Materials and Building at his own expence." He was charged £3 for rent up to Xmas 1779. A load of lead and timber was recorded as being landed at the site on 1st January 1778, but the first load of 44 tons of coal only arrived on 14th January, with regular shipments starting from the 26th January.
Goods to Chippenhams Platt were charged at 1s 6d (7.5p) a ton, 50% more than to Bristol Road. But by March this differential was eroded as the toll to Bristol Road was raised to 1s 3d. A total of 4851 tons of goods were taken to Chippenhams Platt against 3492 to Bristol Road. The income from tolls was £580. It was noticeable that during May many boats had to unload some of their cargo at Bristol Road before continuing up to Chippenhams Platt, presumably because of lack of water in the upper pound.
Again most of the trade was in coal, with 5986 tons of Shropshire coal, 1535 tons of Staffordshire coal. 308 ton of Tenby coal, 227 tons of Forest of Dean coal, 190 tons of Darby and 14 tons of Bristol coal. Only 155 tons of other goods were received. The only outbound trade was 2 tons of Shropshire coal sent to Bristol.
The principal consignees remained Grazebrook & Co (2916 tons), Samuel Collins (2630 tons), Samuel Stephens (2159 tons) and Mr Palmer (202 tons)
1779 - Onward to Stroud
By January 1779 the canal was open to Ryeford, where a charge of 2s per ton (raised to 2s 2d in April) was enough to make transport there competive. After July the canal was fully opened with charges for coal of 2s 11d per ton for Dudbridge and 3s to Stroud, though higher prices were charged for other cargoes, such as wool and salt (up to 3s 8d to Dudbridge or 4s to Stroud).
In the first half of the year Ryeford received 3212 tons of cargo, but only 50 tons after the opening of the upper pounds. In the second half of the year Dudbridge received 885 tons and Stroud 1254. Lower down the canal Bristol Road still received 353 tons, Chippenhams Platt 83 tons, Whitminster 56 and Stonehouse 15. Above Ryeford cargoes also went to Oil Mills, Ebley and Lodgemore. Only 50 tons of goods travelled down the canal. Income from tolls for the year was £713.
Shropshire coal was again the most common cargo, 3725 tons, against 935 tons of Staffordshire coal, 815 tons of Forest coal, 160 tons of Tenby coal and 120 tons of other coals. There were 96 tons classed as Sundries, which were charged at the highest rates, and 235 tons of other types of cargoes.
Grazebrook & Co with 2732 tons and Samuel Stephens with 2168 tons were again the main traders, while Thomas Pearce at Dudbridge received 358 tons of coal from the Forest of Dean. Cargoes also went to 22 other consignees.
The first decade - 1780-1789
In November 1779 a petition was presented to the House of Commons for the creation of a new turnpike leading from Dudbridge up the valley to Nailsworth and then on to Tiltputs Inn, to join the existing Horsley to Tetbury turnpike. The Nailsworth Trust Act received Royal Assent on 21st March 1780, and the newly built road, which served 14 mills, was approved by the trust committee on 30th May 1781.
The warehouse at Wallbridge was let to William Wakefield in March 1780, and the wharfs at Wallbridge and Dudbridge were fenced in. Grazebrook & Co had their warehouse at Dudbridge. Agreement for the land needed for a wharf at Stonehouse Cross was not reached until 1785, when the wharf at Wallbridge was walled in.
When new rates were set, in October 1779, a drawback of 1s per ton was allowed on coals carried to Cirencester, Tetbury or Lechlade while goods carried down the Severn to Stroud or exported up the Severn from Stroud were given preferential rates. Preferential rates were also applied to certain mill owners. From 1782 a special rate of 1s per ton was applied to goods, such as cannons, brought to Stroud for onward transmission to London via Lechlade.
The first cargo to go up the Thames & Severn Canal, though only as far as Bowbridge, was in July 1784. By July 1785 the new canal had reached Chalford, but the building of the canal was not completed through to Inglesham until 1789. Rates for cargoes to be sent up the new canal were much lower than on the Stroudwater itself as the Thames & Severn Canal charged 1s 3d for cargoes below Brimscombe. For example, a ton of coal to Wallbridge in 1785 could cost 3s 6d (17½p) in Stroudwater tolls, while one to Brimscombe Port would only garner 1s (5p) for the Stroudwater Navigation.
During the decade a total of 54,804 tons of Shropshire Coal, 45,168 of Staffordshire Coal, 3479 of Forest Coal and 2865 of Tenby Coal were imported up the canal. 5920 tons of Stone was transported, much of it down the canal to Gloucester for use in building the new prison. A total of 2935 tons of Salt were imported, mostly for the use of Mr Clutterbuck at Dudbridge and Mr Freebury in Stroud. Bricks (934 tons), timber (804 tons) and wheat (690 tons) were the other major components of the 128,000 tons imported and 7825 tons exported along the canal during this decade. Perhaps the most surprising export, though, was the 739 tons of Gun Stocks sent up the Severn during this decade to help replenish the army following the American War of Independence.
Of this tonnage, 35,400 tons went up to Dudbridge, 26,000 to Wallbridge, 14,200 was distributed from Bristol Road, 5600 from Chippenhams Platt, and 4500 from Ryeford. Only 3800 tons were unloaded at Stonehouse, while another 2100 tons was unloaded at Framilode. Over 6000 tons was awarded a drawback for being delivered more than 10 miles for Dudbridge and Wallbridge, while 3000 tons made it as far as Lechlade. Within the Stroud Valleys served by the Thames and Severn Canal 5770 tons was unloaded at the wharf above the Wallbridge Lock in the centre of Stroud, 3880 tons were unloaded at Bowbridge, 9450 at Brimscombe, 750 tons at The Bourne and 840 tons at Chalford.
Thomas Cullis brought some 8500 tons of Shropshire Coal from Coalbrookdale. Various members of the Oakes family also brought almost 8000 tons of Shropshire Coal into the Stroudwater Navigation, Richard Tolley carried some 6000 tons of Staffordshire Coal while John Longney carried over 2000 tons of Forest Coal for Collins. Members of the Pugh family brought over 1500 tons of Salt from Droitwich. Richard and Thomas Davis brought some 600 tons of Road Stone to Bristol Road and Chippenhams Platt, while Joseph Corbett supplied over 2500 tons of Stone from the upper Stroud Valley for the building of Gloucester Prison.
By the end of 1789 the Company of Proprietors of the Stroudwater Navigation had taken £18,350 in tolls. By 1783 most of the loans taken out to augment the amount raised from the sale of the 200 original subscriptions, and the calls of £150 per share on these, had been paid off. In 1789 dividends of £7.50 per share (5%) were paid on each share.
The effect of the opening of the Thames & Severn Canal - 1790-1799
Table of distances on Stroudwater and Thames & Severn Canals
Once the Sapperton Tunnel was opened in 1789 through traffic to Cirencester and Lechlade became possible. As boat width and length changes were required for boats going beyond Brimsombe goods for destinations beyond Chalford were mostly transhipped in Brimscombe Port. But until the Thames & Severn Canal built a windmill to pump water into the top level of their canal in 1790 there was insufficent water in the canal during the summer. In 1792 the supply was augmented by a Boulton & Watt beam engine.
As the decade progressed the poor condition of the horse towing path built in 1772 between Coalbrookdale and Bewdley, and the lack of a path from there to Stourport, significantly reduced the amount of Shropshire Coal reaching Gloucestershire, while increasing amounts of Staffordshire Coal were being sent to the Thames to compete with coal coming down the Oxford Canal from around Coventry.
During the decade 166,200 tons of Staffordshire Coal were imported, but only 24,797 tons of Shropshire Coal, 6202 tons of Tenby Coal and a mere 1417 tons of Forest Coal were imported. There was more Smiths Coal than Forest Coal, and a small amount of Newport Coal. 7700 tons of Salt was imported from Droitwich, and 5300 tons of stone was imported.
Because merchant shipping around the coast of southern England was being threatened by French vessels and, more significantly, Royal Navy pressgangs, there were significant new cargoes in the form of Iron (9000 tons), Copper (6462 tons), Tin (4600 tons) and even Guns (3500 tons), much of it from South Wales and the River Wye. Another significant new cargo was Cider, for which over 2000 tons were sent to Brimscombe for eastwards transhipment.
As the overall tonnage increased the amount of detail recorded in the tonnage books decreased as more and more cargoes were treated as Sundry Goods, often sent to Sundry People at Sundry Places. In 1799 28% of cargoes were unspecified, 20% were not consigned to anyone, and 13% had no destination specified.
The 28,200 tons of goods exported westwards from the Stroudwater went to many places, including Bath, Bewdley, Bristol, Gloucester, Monmouth, Newnham, Redbrook, Upton-on-Severn, Worcester and, most often, to Stourport. The majority of the cargoes in the latter half of the decade originated in Brimscombe.
Of the imports, twice as many went to destinations on the Thames and Severn Canal at to ones on the Stroudwater Navigation. A total of 147.950 tons had their destination specified as being Brimscombe Port. Needless to say the main consignee for the decade was William Hill at Brimscombe Port.
A total of £25,550 was taken in tolls and rents during the decade. Despite traffic almost trebling, the overall profit per year only doubled as the rates charged for traffic going into the Thames and Severn Canal was much lower than for goods delivered on the Stroudwater Navigation.
In 1799 the dividends paid to shareholders came to £13 per share, a return of over 8%, though the average return over the decade was just over 5%.
More information about trade on the canal, including its historical background and tables and graphs summarizing the trade, is provided in Martin Bryan's paper on 18th Century Trade on the Stroudwater Navigation.


Oredo Local Government Area is perceived to be the richest among the 18 local government areas in Edo State. Its headquarters is Benin City and the council secretariat is located at the Oba Ovoramwen Square, popularly called 'Ring Road', the city centre. It houses important government institutions, such as the Palace of the Benin Monarch, Edo State House of Assembly, Government House, National Museum, Igun Bronze Guild, Igbesamwan wood carvers, Central Bank of Nigeria and a host of others.
The central location of Oredo makes it an envy of other local councils. The nine gates that lead to the heart of the ancient Benin Kingdom meet at Oredo. It is the oldest local councils as it served as headquarters of ancient Benin Kingdom. The urban renewal project of Governor Adams Oshiomhole has given a facelift to the locality, especially at the city centre.
Although not listed among the oil bearing local government areas of the state, its wealth lies in the abundant sources of revenue not available in other local governments. Some of the sources are the three cemeteries, over five major markets, thousands of lock-up stores, commercial motorists, hawkers amongst others.
With the several revenue points available to the council, it is still struggling to survive and provide the much-needed basic and social amenities for its residents. A council official said the supposed council revenues end up in private pockets. The council official said many revenue points of the council were given to contractors who pay peanuts into the coffers of the council.
Sadly, the huge revenue base of Oredo has not translated to basic amenities for residents, especially those in the few rural areas in the locality. But for the on-going renovation at the council secretariat, the building used to be an eye-sore compared to other buildings that dot the Oba Ovoramen Square.
Analysts are of the opinion that Oredo can survive without depending on federal allocation but the reverse is the case as the council officials were usually owned salaries when there is delay in the release of federal allocations.
At the return to democratic rule in 1999, Oredo was administered under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by Deacon Nosa Ehiman (two-terms) and Edos Ebomoyi. Ehiman was sacked by Oshiomhole in 2009 for financial misappropriation and his deputy, Omorogieva Gbajumo, who later defected to the defunct ACN, was asked to complete his tenure. The council is now under the leadership of Osaro Obazee elected under the platform of the ACN now All Progressives Congress (APC).
Save the re-construction and renovation of some major roads by Oshiomhole, other roads in the locality, except those in the Government Reservation Area are not motorable. The few road projects executed by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) were poorly done while some still under construction appeared abandoned.
Potable water is still a mirage as residents rely on private borehole operators to get drinking water. Over 70 boreholes sunk by successive administrations, including some executed by lawmakers as constituency projects, are no longer functional. Two water projects executed under the Quickwin and CGS MDGs in 2009 have been overgrown by weeds.
The MDGs boreholes, which are solar-powered, are located at Evbowe community, while the other is located at Plymouth Road. Mr. Obakpolor Festus, charged with the MDGs borehole at Plymouth Road, said it is faulty and N80,000 is required to fix it.
At the cemeteries, our reporter was informed that the cost of burying a body is N25,000. Of the sum, N8000 goes to the local government, N15,000 for the contractor and N2000 for the cemetry attendants. Those willing to play balls with officials pay N10,000 and N20,000. But, the official price is N5,000 for burial at the cemetery and N10,000 at residence.
Yet, the cemeteries are overgrown with weeds.
Traders at the markets said they pay N560 daily for ticket after paying between N10,000 and N20,000 yearly to the council depending on the size of the shop. There are no electricity supply and water at the markets. Hawkers, food vendors, barbecue (suya) sellers and night traders selling on walkways pay between N50 and N100 daily to agents of the council.
Commercial motorists pay between N200 and N300 to the council. In 2011, members of the National Union of Local Government Employees battled a former revenue agent for the local council, Osakpamwan Eriyo after several months' delay of payment of salaries.
The NULGE members said the transport revenue contract was given out for N800, 000 per month even though just one route fetches N57,000 daily.
Rural communities in Oredo are worst hit. Head of Evbovbiuke community, Pa Ogbeide George, said basic amenities in the community were done through self-help effort.
He said there was no school, electricity, health centres in the community. The only school in the community has six pupils and two teachers and classes are held in the sitting room of the village head.
Pupils at Evbuodia, Ulemo, Uholor, Evbowe and others attend secondary school in faraway Ogba village. The NDDC road project linking the communities was washed off and another road project is under way.
Lawmakers representing Oredo at the state and national assemblies are Senator Ehigie Uzamere; Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly, Uyi Igbe (Oredo West); Patrick Osayimwen (Oredo East) and Hon Razaq Bello-Osagie representing Oredo Federal Constituency.
Razaq recently inaugurated solar-powered boreholes, street-lights and 500kva transformers as his constituency projects. Speaker Igbe donated chairs to some schools but Senator Uzamere is yet to show any project influenced to the locality.
A public commentator, Kola Edokpayi, described what is happening at Oredo as sardonic.
Edokpayi said: "There are no roads in Oredo. When it rains, you cannot pass through the roads. The governor has tried to build and renovate some schools but Oredo has not been able to meet its responsibilities in building schools. As big as Oredo, there is no Motor Park. It is bad to discover that Oredo that is the oldest and richest is under-developed.
The council boss, Osaro Obazee, has a budget proposal of N3.9 billion for 2013 fiscal year with recurrent expenditure pegged at N1.5 billion while capital expenditure was estimated at N2.374 billion. During his campaigns, he promised to block revenue leakages as well as end situations where individuals are richer than the council.

This Family's 'The Office' Themed Pregnancy Announcement Deserves A Dundie Award
by Lex Gabrielle
If there's anything that's good and true in this world, it's that "The Office" will never, ever get old. Everyone has their own relationship with the show, and with the help of Netflix, we can watch it whenever and however we please.
Sarah Elaine Gasperik and her husband, Chris, are huge fans of the show. So much so, that they've found adorable and funny ways to incorporate "The Office" into their biggest life moments–like, their engagement.
Facebook: sarahelainephotos
Everyone knows "that's what she said," is one of Michael Scott's favorite jokes. When the two decided to create a pregnancy announcement for their third child, they knew that there would be nothing better than using "The Office." And, the couple didn't just use one part, not even two–they used multiple puns from the entire series to make the most epic (and creative) pregnancy announcement we've ever seen.
First, Sarah used a famous Michael Scott line for her own shirt–"I declare bankruptcy," but, substituted bankruptcy for pregnancy.
Her husband Chris also used an epic Michael Scott classic.
As for her two sons–she channeled both Dwight Schrute and Michael Scott for their shirts–and their anticipated baby's arrival.
Sarah, who is a professional photographer, told BuzzFeed it was definitely difficult to have her two young sons to pose for an extended period of time.
"The most challenging part was getting the outdoor photos. The boys didn't want to cooperate and there were a lot of bugs flying around. But mostly, it was a fun shoot.
She also added that she's expecting her first girl–exciting.
Clearly, this family has the ultimate sense of originality and humor.
Sarah and Chris had the shirts and onesie made by Southern Fried Stitchin'. But, you can order yourself the same shirt as Sarah over here on CafePress.

Even the slightest help would be very much appreciated.

A: Run Skyrim three or four times to get three or four logs, then look at the last couple lines in each file. If the same script is showing up in each crash, for example the ehs_staggerControl.psc script mentioned in the log you linked to, then the crash has something to do with that script. If it's not the same script every time, then it's not a script issue, or it's just a matter of too many scripts running at the same time. Other possible crash causes could include memory problems (for example, increasing uGridsToLoad beyond what your system can handle) or corrupt save files.
ehs_staggerControl.psc seems to be from the Every Hit Staggers or Every Hit Staggers Extended mods. It is also linked to another mod called Action Combat. which I see you have installed. If that is the script that shows up in every crash log, then that's the mod responsible.

Blickling Estate
BLICKLING, NORFOLK
Blickling Hall is a fine example of Jacobean architecture with a peaceful lake to stroll around and fascinating buildings, monuments and mature trees in the grounds. King Harold built the first house here but when William the Conqueror defeated him at Hastings in 1066, he seized Blickling for himself. A later owner, Nicholas Dagworth, built a moated house here in the 1390s. Eventually, Blickling came into the possession of Sir John Fastolf, believed to be the inspiration for Shakespeare's Falstaff, and then passed to the Boleyn family, where it remained until Anne Boleyn's execution. Later owners, the Hobart family, almost completely rebuilt the house between 1618 and 1629. Designed by Robert Lyminge, the building is brick with stone dressings and a pair of handsome corner towers. Inside, its most famous acquisition is the magnificent tapestry that hangs in the Peter-the-Great Room. Photo credit: Andrew Butler.

The North Norfolk Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and probably the finest of its kind in Europe. Here you'll find a string of quaint villages and small towns – Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea and Cley next the Sea are 21st-century favourites, while Sheringham and Cromer are classic examples of a good old-fashioned seaside resort where grand Victorian hotels look out to sea. Further round the coast you'll find Great Yarmouth, one of the most popular resorts in the UK and packed full of amusements, shops and seashore entertainment. And let's not forget Norwich, the region's only city.
Norfolk prides itself on its wealth of historic houses, the most famous being Sandringham, where Her Majesty the Queen and her family spend Christmas. Many of Norfolk's towns have a particular charm and a strong sense of community. The quiet market towns of Fakenham and Swaffham are prime examples, as well as Thetford, with its popular museum focusing on the TV comedy series Dad's Army which was filmed in the area.

Anand Mahindra Hails Ajinkya Rahane, Urges Everyone To Learn From Indian Captain
Rohan Raj Updated: Dec 29, 2020, 14:35 IST
From being bowled out for their all-time lowest Test score of 36 to scripting one of the greatest comebacks following an emphatic win in the 2nd Test, the fortunes of the Indian cricket team have changed drastically in a matter of few days.
While there is no doubt that it was a team effort that allowed India to seal an emphatic eight-wicket win at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Ajinkya Rahane was arguably the biggest contributor to the visitors' triumph.
The Indian captain didn't just impress everyone with his captaincy, but also with a fine batting performance.
Whether it was making key field placements or shuffling the bowlers to good effect, Rahane's understanding of the match situations and know-how of the game allowed India to bundle the hosts out for paltry totals of 195 & 200 in two innings.
The Mumbai batsman, then, led from the front in the batting department, scoring a game-changing 112 in the first innings before an unbeaten 27 in the second.
If his exploits at the hallowed MCG earned him the 'Player of the Match' award, his effort and approach towards the challenging game garnered plaudits from fans and pundits alike.
Amongst all the praise, one special message came from Anand Mahindra who has carved his own niche on social media on the back of his honest opinions.
No matter what happens to his career in future, @ajinkyarahane88 will always be a hero. A role model for how to:
A) Keep calm in the aftermath of disaster
B) Ignite the engine of self-belief
C) Lead from the front & set an example with your own performance & actions. #INDvsAUS https://t.co/eps792o7Ox
— anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) December 29, 2020
Taking to Twitter, the Indian businessman hailed Rahane for playing a key role in India's brilliant win. Highlighting his unique qualities, Mahindra labelled him a role model for everyone.
"No matter what happens to his career in future, @ajinkyarahane88 will always be a hero. A role model for how to: Keep calm in the aftermath of disaster, Ignite the engine of self-belief, Lead from the front & set an example with your own performance & actions," he tweeted.
Tasked with the responsibility of leading a dejected Indian team, sans Virat Kohli, after trailing 1-0 in the four-match series, Rahane did a commendable job in marshalling his troops to victory at the MCG.
While Kohli's aggression has allowed India to cherish an aggressive brand of cricket, it was Rahane's calm and composed approach, highlighted in his on-field antics throughout the match, that got the tourists over the line.

Q: Modifying a nested object with jq I'm using jq to modify a json file but I'm having issues with nested objects. I need to find an object inside of an array of objects and then modify a nested object inside of that object. I'm able to find the correct object and modify a key/value pair inside of that object, but modifying a key/value pair inside of a nested object is giving me issues. I'm sure there is a way to accomplish this with jq but I cannot find it. For this example I'm trying to modify the "pos_color" value for the track where the label is AX11S1.bw.
# find correct object and change key/value command ( this will change the min_score from 0 to 200 )
jq '.tracks |= map(if .label=="AX11S1.bw" then . + {"min_score":"200"} else . end)' trackList.json

# Example JSON

  "tracks": [

Johnny Depp's Lawyer Says Amber Heard Gave Performance of Her Life
Bernard BondMay 27, 2022
In the closing arguments on Friday in Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard defamation trail, Depp's attorney Camille Vasquez slammed Amber Heard saying that she gave the performance of her life.
As the trial nears its conclusion, attorneys have been delivering closing statements. Depp sued Heard for $50 million for defaming him in an op-ed she penned in 2018, claiming she was a victim of domestic and sexual violence. Amber Heard has filed a $100 million nuisance lawsuit against Depp. However, he has always denied the allegations of abuse, making the trial a flurry of contradictory testimony and witness reports.
Camille Vasquez began the final statements for the court, condemning Amber Heard of faking her emotions on the witness stand. Vasquez pointed also out that Heard's accusations of physical assault were not supported by medical data.
She came into this courtroom prepared to give the performance of her life, and she gave it. Miss Heard's acting coach, Christina Sexton, testified that Miss Heard has difficulty crying when she is acting. You saw it: Miss Heard sobbing without tears while spinning elaborate, exaggerated, fantastical accounts of abuse.
Johnny Depp's lawyer told jurors that Amber Heard's claims of domestic violence made no sense because the star has never been accused of physical assault by another woman.
Before Amber Heard, no women ever claimed Mr. Depp raised a hand to her in his 58 years. This is MeToo without any MeToo. Mr. Depp was canceled because Miss Heard falsely accused him of domestic violence.
During the closing statements, co-counsel Benjamin Chew told the jury that some of Depp's admirers may never look at him the same way again.
Because of what Miss Heard did, and because of what she said, Mr. Depp will go to his grave knowing no matter what he does, no matter the outcome of this trial, there are people who used to look up to him who now believe that he beat a woman, which is the worst thing you can say about a man.
Both parties have completed their final statements, and Judge Penney Azcarate will now read the jury instructions. Both Depp's $50 million lawsuit and Heard's $100 million countersuit must be decided by the jury.

ArvinMeritor : The global supplier of integrated systems, modules and components for a variety of automotive vehicles and trucks realized a slight 0.05% increase in the value of its shares to $13.70 Monday. Options trading patterns on the stock indicate some investors expect ArvinMeritor's shares to rally higher and settle at $15 by May expiration. Investors sold straddles on the stock in the May contract to take in available options premium Monday. Approximately 7,000 calls were sold at the May $15 strike for a premium of $0.70 each in combination with the sale of about 7,000 puts at the same strike for an average premium of $1.28 apiece. Gross premium pocketed by straddle-sellers amounts to $1.98 per contract. Investors keep the full premium received if ARM's shares settle at $15 at expiration. The $1.98 premium received Monday provides a buffer against potential losses in the event that shares do not trade up at $15.00 in the next couple of months. However, straddle-sellers are vulnerable to potentially devastating losses if shares rally above the upper breakeven point at $16.98, or should shares sink below the lower breakeven price of $13.02, ahead of expiration day in May.
Lorillard : Cigarette manufacturer Lorillard Inc. attracted near-term bullish options traders Monday despite a downgrade to 'hold' from 'buy' at Deutsche Bank . Shares of the underlying stock slipped 0.35% during the first half of the trading session to $75.74. One optimistic individual initiated a bullish risk reversal on Lorillard by selling approximately 12,500 put options at the April $72.5 strike for an average premium of $0.75 apiece, spread against the purchase of the same number of call options at the higher April $80 strike for $0.40 each. The investor responsible for the reversal play pockets a net credit of $0.35 per contract, which he keeps as long as Lorillard's shares trade above $72.50 through April expiration day. Additional profits accumulate should shares of the underlying stock rally at least 5.6% over the current price to surpass $80 by expiration. The short sale of put options implies the trader is willing to have Lorillard-shares put to him at an effective price of $72.15 apiece should the puts land in-the-money ahead of expiration day. The spike in demand for options on the stock lifted the overall reading of options implied volatility 17.2% to 28.02% by midday.

Mohawk Industries : The manufacturer of floor covering products for residential and commercial applications enticed bullish players after receiving a new rating of 'buy' with a 12-month target share price of $63 at Ticonderoga Securities this morning. Mohawk's shares jumped 3.30% in the first half of the trading day to stand at $54.90. Optimistic options traders positioned for continued upward movement in the price of Mohawk's shares by purchasing call options in the April contract. Investors picked up 1,400 calls at the April $55 strike for an average premium of $1.31 apiece. Shares must exceed the current 52-week high on the stock of $55.21 and surpass the effective breakeven point on the calls at $56.31 before call buyers accrue profits. Bullish traders also purchased 2,500 call options at the higher April $60 strike for an average premium of $0.32 per contract. Higher-strike call coveters stand ready to accrue profits should Mohawk's shares rally 9.9% to breach the breakeven point at $60.32 ahead of expiration day in April.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals : Shares of biotechnology company, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, slipped slightly lower by 0.05% to $41.59 Monday. Perhaps anticipating continued downward momentum in the price of the underlying shares, one options investor enacted a bearish risk reversal in the October contract. The trader sold 2,500 calls at the October $50 strike for a premium of $2.20 apiece in order to offset the cost of buying the same number of puts at the lower October $30 strike for $1.60 each. The reversal player receives a net credit of $0.60 per contract on the transaction, which he keeps if Vertex's shares trade below $50 through expiration day in October. Additional profits accumulate to the downside if shares of the underlying stock plummet 27.9% from the current price to breach the $30-level ahead of expiration. Shares last traded below $30 back on June 10, 2009.
Mead Johnson Nutrition : The global provider of pediatric nutrition products received a long-term vote of confidence by one bullish options trader Monday amid a share 6.5% rally in shares to an intraday high of $52.17. Shares slipped slightly during the first half of the trading session, and are currently flat at $51.83. The optimistic options investor financed the purchase of a debit call spread in the January 2011 contract by selling short 4,000 put options at the January 2012 $40 strike for an average premium of $2.94 apiece. The trader purchased 4,000 in-the-money calls at the January 2011 $50 strike for $6.60 each, and sold 4,000 calls at the higher January 2011 $65 strike for $1.70 apiece. The net cost of the three-legged combination play amounts to $1.96 per contract. Thus, the investor is prepared to accrue maximum potential profits of $13.04 per contract should Mead Johnson's share price surge more than 25% from the current price of $51.83 to surpass $65 by expiration day next January. The investor makes money on the trade as long as shares exceed the breakeven price of $51.96 by expiration.

First sock of my first pair of socks is finished and fits (I tried to take a photo of it on my foot, but couldn't manage by myself).
I'm quite impressed as I'm not a very experienced knitter and there were lots of new techniques to do - knitting in the round, turning a heal and grafting toes. I don't think I've done too badly - now I've got to do sock two - am wondering whether I should pick up the wool from where I cut it off at the end of this sock, or if I should try to find the same part of the pattern and try to make them match? David thinks I should try for the latter - and he's probably right.
I've really enjoyed knitting this, I like the wool and how it makes its own pattern, I like the scale of the project, I like the challenge of the never-before-done techniques, I like how it looks now it's finished and I like the way it feels on my foot.


If only they would have known.
began writing in the sand.
began speaking to their hearts.
why He had placed upon His divinity, humanity.
the heart and the mission of Jesus.
and placed her at the feet of the God of all grace.
Jesus seeks to find our hearts and expose us to His love, forgiveness, and grace.
Jesus isn't a judge; Jesus is a Savior.
Only one left free and whole.

Year 3 visit to Magna Centre13 Mar 2017I've been told about the visit by Year 3 to the Magna Cente in Sheffield on 7th March and I gather that everyone really enjoyed it.Having been there myself,I'm not surprised, because it's a really fascinating place,with all kinds of things to capture childrens' interest.
What I was really pleased to hear though was that our children behaved brilliantly the whole time and in fact this was remarked on by the staff at Magna. In addition,every single child said "thankyou" to the coach driver when arriving back at school, which showed how well mannered and polite our children are. So - a big "well done" to Year 3 children - you're a real credit to Middleton PrimarySchool !
Actually, I've had similar reports after other school trips - for example the last trip to London, when the hotel staff were very impressed with the excellent behaviour shown by our children. So, again,a big"well done" to all of our children who went on that trip.
Altogether, it's brilliant when those outside of school see just how good our children are and it makes Governors very proud to be a part of Middleton Primary - thanks everyone !!

Тропопа́уза ( — поворот і  — припинення) — порівняно тонкий шар у атмосфері планети, де припиняється зниження температури з висотою і вище якого атмосфера стає прозорою для теплового випромінювання. Термін застосовується для опису температурної стратифікації в моделях атмосфер.

Для Землі це шар атмосфери над тропосферою. Вище межує зі стратосферою. Висота тропопаузи в арктичних широтах становить 8—12 км, над екватором — 16—18 км. Узимку тропопауза разташовується нижче, ніж улітку, крім того її висота коливається під час проходження циклонів та антициклонів: у циклонах вона зменшується, а у антициклонах — збільшується.

J10: Behavior of Massive Particles Near the Velocity of Light
Work done at: UNIVERSITY OF KARACHI, University Road, Karachi 75270,
Kamal SA, Husain SA, Karachi University Journal of Science, 17 (1&2),
1989, 111-120
Behavior of massive particles near the velocity of light was discussed. It was
shown that an accurate determination of velocity makes the Lorentz factor
and the energy indeterminate. The relativistic relation of mass was modified
so that mass was non-infinite at v = c in the light of uncertainty principle.
An experiment was proposed to test the theory. Full Text PDF
J09: Basic Requirements to Train a Physicist
Work done at: UNIVERSITY OF KARACHI, University Road, Karachi 75270, Pakistan
Kamal SA, Siddiqui KA, Physics Education (India), 6 (1), 1989, pp 53-61 — April-June issue
Since the future progress of Pakistan depends on an adequate training of physicists, we need to prepare them
for careers in industry, research and teaching. They should have a thorough understanding of the basic principles of physics and must be able to apply them in practical situations. Our curriculum should prepare them to handle standard texts in electrodynamics, classical mechanics, statistical physics, quantum mechanics and applied mathematics. To achieve this goal the students need to be highly motivated and should develop habits of creative thinking and critical analysis. A curriculum was proposed for BS, MS and PhD in physics, suitable for the needs of Pakistan. This curriculum, also, prepared students for graduate and postgraduate studies in foreign universities.

J08: Spacetime Representation of Global-Electrocortical Activity
Kamal SA, Siddiqui KA, Husain SA, Biological Cybernetics, 60 (4), 1989, 307-309
A model for global electrocortical activity is developed by considering telencephalonic structures as mass of
linked oscillators generating activity with a number of resonant modes. Equations for the signals are written in
the comoving frame and then transformed into the laboratory frame. The state transition matrix is obtained in
the presence of electric and magnetic fields. Full Text PDF
J07: A Dimensionless-Reciprocal Lattice
Kamal SA, Husain SA, Karachi University Journal of Science, 16 (1&2), 1988, 23-27
The reciprocal-lattice vectors, widely, used in solid-state physics have dimensions of inverse of length and,
hence, are going to be different if systems of units are changed. A modified lattice, cross lattice, was defined in such a way that the cross-lattice vectors were independent of the coördinate system chosen. Angular-momentum eigenfunctions for cross lattice were, also, obtained. Full Text PDF
J06: The Direction of Qibla (Makka)
Kamal SA, Science and Technology in the Muslim World, 5 (3), 1987, 131-134
A mathematical derivation of the direction of qibla (the holy structure in Makka Mukarramah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, whose center is taken as reference direction toward which all Muslims face while saying their prayers) as based on the geodesic was given for any point on the surface pf earth. This should help to resolve the controversy regarding the qibla direction in North America. Full Text PDF
J05: Relationship of Anthropometric Measurements Taken on Clothing to Those Taken on Body
Work done at: THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, Homewood Campus, Baltimore, Maryland 21218, United States
Kamal SA, Karachi University Journal of Science, 14 (1&2), 1986, 35-39
Anthropometric measurements are of fundamental importance in school health care. Sometimes, it is not practical to take the measurements on body. In these circumstances, the measurements are taken on clothing. This paper introduced relations to convert girths (circumferences) taken on clothing to those taken on body. Full Text PDF
J04: Measurement of Angle of Spinal Curvature by Moiré Topographs
Work done at: UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA, Norman, Oklahoma 73019, United States
Kamal SA, Journal of Islamic Medical Association (United States), 14 (4), 1982, 145-149
A method for the measurement of angle of spinal curvature from moiré topographs for scoliosis and kyphosis was described. The angles measured in this way were compared with the angles measured from X rays by Cobb's method. Full Text PDF
J03: Determinant of a General Tensor
Work done at: INDIANA UNIVERSITY, Bloomington, Indiana 4705, United States
Kamal SA, Matrix and Tensor Quarterly (UK), 31 (3), 1981, 64-66; abstract published in Mathematical Reviews 82j, October 1982, 15025 (15: Linear and Multilinear Algebra: Matrix Theory), published by the American Mathematical Society
A generalized definition of a determinant of mth rank was proposed. Two theorems were given with proofs, viz., the determinant of an inner product is equal to the determinant of an outer product, and, the determinants of a general tensor form an abelian group under the operation of multiplication.

The behavior of particles with velocities greater than the velocity of light was re-examined and a theory presented, which was based on the symmetry principles of nature. Full Text PDF
J01: Physical Significance and Properties of Relativistic-Effective-Mass Operator
Kamal SA, Journal of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, 20 (1), 1980, 15-22; abstract published in Mathematical Reviews 81h, August 1981, 81210 (81M: Relativistic Theory), published by the American Mathematical Society
Physical significance and properties of the relativistic-effective-mass operator (REMO) were discussed. REMO for tachyons (faster-than-light particles) was defined and its properties were compared with REMO for bradyons (slower-than-light particles). Full Text PDF
The Students' Gazette (April-May 1987) interviewed Syed Arif Kamal about his views regarding Department of Physics, University of Karachi. The interview was conducted by Nadia Mufti, BSc (Hons), First Year, Department of Physics.
What condition was this department in, when you joined? And how has it changed ever since?
Things have improved since the earlier times. We have more facilities and opportunities now.
Do you think the lab equipment provided to the students is enough?
We have tried to accommodate every student with individual apparatus. However, still, due to a large number of students there are, sometimes, more people on one apparatus.
Do you face any problems or difficulties with your students?
As such, there are no difficulties, but the classes are too overloaded due to which personal attention cannot be given to each student in class.
This science requires so much time and study. Is it all worth it when the time comes to find a job?
There is no shortage of jobs as people think, especially in the field of Physics. What is required is commitment. A degree doesn't assure employment, initiative is needed as well.
Is there any future for Physics in Pakistan?
As I said before, scope is a man-made thing. If we show interest and commitment, we can brighten the future. There is no lack of talent in this country, only a clear concept is needed.

Q: Why size of file .jpg is't same after read binary in C++? this my pic.jpg

now i try to read the file, code to open files:
ifstream inputFile("pic.jpg", ios::in | ios::binary);
ofstream outFile("pic2.jpg", ios::out | ios::binary);
ofstream outFileTXT("pic2.txt", ios::out | ios::binary);

then i read 256 bytes from inpuFile and write on to outFile and outFileTXT.

the problem in the size, i mean:
  pic.jpg = 11,126  bytes.
  pic2.jpg = pic2.txt = 4,966  bytes.

this my buffer for read,
char buffer[257];

my code work well on *.txt (no problem).

for 11,126 bytes needs 43 of reads (256 bytes) + what still ..

run 43 times ..
while (i++ < mod) {
    // read from binary file 256 byte
    in.read(buffer, 256);
    // init packet and save it in list by string.
    handler << buffer; // this line save buffer in list<string>
}

then i print my list to file.

the idea is:  save buffer (size 256 byte) except the last one (118
  bytes) into  list, witch mean's size of list must be 44, 43
  (256 bytes) + 1 (118 bytes)
then print list to file.

A: There is a problem with this:
char buffer[257];

// ..

while (i++ < mod) {
    // read from binary file 256 byte
    in.read(buffer, 256);
    // init packet and save it in list by string.
    handler << buffer;
}

Specifically this:
handler << buffer;

Because buffer is a char* it will treat it as a null terminated string and it will output characters from the buffer until it finds a zero. What it won't do is output the whole buffer like you expect.
You can use write() for that:
while (i++ < mod) {
    // read from binary file 256 byte
    in.read(buffer, 256);
    // init packet and save it in list by string.
    handler.write(buffer, in.gcount()); // output all that was read
}

NOTE: Function in.gcount() tells us how many characters were read in the previous in.read() function (it won't always be exactly 256, it could be less if we reach the end).

Go-op (full name Go-op Cooperative Ltd,) is an open access train operating company which is currently proposing to operate a service between Taunton and Swindon, via Westbury. It aims to become the first cooperatively owned train operating company in the United Kingdom, to improve access to the public transport infrastructure through open access rail services linking main lines to smaller market towns, and co-ordinating services with light rail and bus links and car pools.

As a co-operative, Go-op is to be owned and run by its employees and customers. Shares are available to the general public, with holdings restricted to between £500 and £20,000 per shareholder. Passengers hold 50 per cent of the vote in general meetings, with employees holding a further 25 per cent, and other investors holding the remainder.

First proposal
Around 2010, the company created a draft timetable which offered four return trips between Yeovil Junction and the Midlands, via Yeovil Pen Mill, Castle Cary, Frome, Westbury, Trowbridge, Melksham, Chippenham, Swindon and Oxford, with three of those services being extended to Birmingham Moor Street.

The timetable proposed an early morning service from Yeovil to Birmingham, catering for business travellers, followed by a commuter service from Westbury and Trowbridge to Swindon and Oxford. Later services to Birmingham would cater for the leisure market. There were plans to extend the route further south to Weymouth, however it was acknowledged that for this to happen extra trains would be required. Go-op estimated that around 750,000 people live within 2 km of stations on the proposed route, excluding Birmingham.

Go-op intended to begin operating rail services in the spring of 2014, but difficulties in obtaining rolling stock and severe financial difficulties incurred by their main partner The Co-operative Bank delayed these plans.

Light rail
One of the company's original aims was to look at developing links into existing mainline rail routes, by developing light rail services on existing branch lines. Routes in and around Yeovil, Oxford and Weymouth were considered, but rejected due to the technical difficulty of turning the routes into viable public transport links.

The co-operative had planned to operate a 'trial' service at some time during early 2011, from Medstead & Four Marks to Alton, over part of the Mid-Hants Railway. The shuttle services, branded as Go-op Mid-Hants Link, and utilising rolling stock from Parry People Movers, would connect with South West Trains main line services to Farnham, Woking and Alton. Five trains were scheduled in each direction, with morning trains from Medstead & Four Marks to Alton and evening trains from Alton back to Medstead & Four Marks. The trial was to be run in conjunction with Hampshire County Council and East Hants District Council. Technical issues with the Parry People Mover caused the trial to be postponed and it has yet to take place.

Another line considered was the Ludgershall branch, near Andover on the border between Wiltshire and Hampshire. The line south of the former station in the town remains open for freight traffic, namely the delivery of MOD equipment to Salisbury Plain.

Over time, the company hopes to establish shuttle bus services, car clubs and bike hire to improve links with the rail network.

Second proposal
In 2016, Go-op lodged an application with the Office of Rail and Road to operate a service between Taunton and Swindon, via Castle Cary, Bruton, Frome, Westbury, Trowbridge, Melksham and Chippenham. The company initially proposed to operate Class 185s before purchasing a fleet of Class 195s. A revised plan in June 2016 proposed services from 2019 between Taunton and Nuneaton, via Swindon and Oxford.

Third proposal

In March 2019, the company announced new proposals for services from Taunton and Yeovil to Swindon, Oxford and Nuneaton. The Taunton and Yeovil to Swindon service would run from Summer 2020 and provide a significant increase in the number of trains serving towns such as Frome and Melksham.

The proposal consists of four trains per day between Taunton and Oxford, calling at Castle Cary, Bruton, Frome, Westbury, Trowbridge, Melksham, Chippenham and Swindon. There would also be two trains per day between Nuneaton and Yeovil Pen Mill, calling at Coventry, Kenilworth, Leamington Spa, Banbury, Oxford, Swindon, Chippenham, Melksham, Trowbridge, Westbury, Frome, Bruton and Castle Cary. The ORR website records withdrawal of the proposal for an Economic Equilibrium Test for this service in September 2019.

Fourth proposal
In 2021, Go-op began discussions with Network Rail for services between Swindon and Bishops Lydeard (just beyond Taunton), which it hoped to begin in mid-2022. At first there could only be three services per day, due to congestion between Swindon and Westbury; a further three could be provided to Frome or Westbury, connecting with existing services to Swindon. These plans would also improve local services on the TransWilts Line, calling at Trowbridge and Melksham.

The plans for Bishops Lydeard would restore the link broken in 1971 between the national network and the preserved West Somerset Railway, which runs leisure services to Minehead.

Our view of Croydon has changed in a decade – but new developments will transform the skyline in 2018
What a difference ten years makes. These photos taken a decade apart demonstrate the breath-taking pace of change across Croydon. The first was taken in 2007, when Stiles Harold Williams (SHW) moved to its new South London HQ on the 7th floor of 69 Park Lane.
Croydon Council's former home, Taberner House, is still standing in the foreground but is now replacedby Bernard Weatherill House. In the background, Saffron Square's distinctive colours are distinctly absent.
Richard Plant, Develop Croydon chairman and SHW's Head of South London, Surrey and Kent, said: "We've said goodbye to Taberner House and hello to Bernard Weatherill House and Saffron Square gaining prominence on the skyline. In good weather, The Shard is now clearly visible, demonstrating ourproximity to London yet retaining our own distinct character and identity.
"And as a new year begins the view from our office window continues to change, but our perspective remains the same–an ethos of developing Croydon to the very best of its placemaking potential."
Even since October 2017, when the second photo was taken, three of the skyline's biggest edifices havebeen covered in scaffolding and cranes, all ready for residential conversion.
Carolyn House will comprise 16 stories including 183 apartments and retail space. Leon House willshortly be remade into 263 smart-living units, and Impact House will provide another 235 apartments complete with doctor's surgery, gym and other building-as-community facilities.
Plans have been submitted for Tide Construction's 546-home development in George Street. The 44-storey modular tower will be largest of its kind in the world.
Add to this the 514 units envisioned by Hub on the old Taberner site and that's 1,741 exciting new places under construction for people to live, work and build their lives in.
In addition, Chinese investor R&F have started the pre-app process on Queens Square: 288 residential units on the former Nestlé offices and around 800 units at St George's Walk. Croydon is also set to see its cultural and lifestyle offer expand considerably with the influx of new residents. The Croydon Partnership's retail-led leisure scheme at the Whitgift Centre will create a UK top-10 shopping and entertainment destination and deliver 7,000 jobs and 1,000 homes.
The regeneration of the Fairfield arts and entertainment centre, to create a world-class venue at the heart of the town centre, is well under way. Guildhouse Rosepride has secured planning permission for the UK's second tallest building, One Lansdowne. Two towers of 68 and 41 storeys, linked by an 11-storey podium structure, will contain 794 residential units, office space, retail, a swimming pool and gym, a bar, restaurant and publicviewing gallery.
The vision for the Croydon panorama of 2027 is certainly an exciting prospect.

Q: Finding the Complexity of Nested Loops I'm given the loop pseudocode:
where "to" is equivalent to "<="
sum = 0;
for i = 1 to n
  for j = 1 to i^3
    for k = 1 to j
       sum++

I know the outermost loop runs n times.
Do the two inner loops also run n times though? (Making the entire Complexity O(n^3).
Where for instance n = 5
Then:
1 <= 5        2<= 5
j = 1 <= 1^3  2 <= 2^3 = 8
k=1 <= 1      2 <= 2

And this would continue n times for each loop, making it n^3?

A: This seems like a tricky problem, those inner loops are more complex than just n.
The outer loop is n.
The next loop goes to i^3. At the end of the outer loop i will be equal to n. This means that this loop at the end will be at n^3. Technically it would be (n^3)/2, but we ignore that since this is Big O.
The third loop goes to j, but at the end of the previous loop j will be equal to i^3. And we already determined that i^3 was equal to n^3.
So it looks like:

*

*1st loop: n

*2nd loop: n^3

*3rd loop: n^3
Which looks like it comes to n^7. I'd want someone else to verify this though. Gotta love Big O.

A: You can use Sigma notation to explicitly unroll the number of basic operations in the loop (let sum++ be a basic operation):

Where

*

*(i): Partial sum formula from Wolfram Alpha.

*(ii): Expanding the expression from Wolfram Alpha.

Hence, the complexity, using Big-O notation, is O(n^7).

«Спартак» Москва — старейший женский баскетбольный клуб из Москвы. Лучшим достижением команды в чемпионате СССР была «серебряная» медаль в 1938 году, а в чемпионате России — 9-е место (2010 и 2011).

История
В истории команды были как периоды успеха, так и периоды забвения. Лучшие результаты команда показала в довоенный период: «серебро» — в 1938 году, «бронза» — 1939. После войны команда являлась стабильным середняком итоговой таблицы, но уже в 50-х годах команда ушла в забвение, выступая только во Всесоюзных соревнованиях общества «Спартак».

Первое возрождение произошло в 1966 году, когда команда стала выступать в первой лиге союзного первенства и уже в  она вернулась в высшую лигу. В первом сезоне баскетболистки заняли 9-е место из 12 команд, затем в 1972 и  — 8-е место, 1974 — 12-е место и вылет в класс «А». В 1980-х годах команда вновь исчезла из внимания болельщиков, чтобы снова появиться, но уже в другом чемпионате.

Второе возрождение команды пришлось на 1997 год, когда клуб заявился для участия в Дивизионе «Б» Высшей лиги (третий турнир по ранжиру) Чемпионата России. Через 3 года «Спартак» уже играл в элите российского женского баскетбола — «Суперлиге», где особых успехов не добился. Вылетев в 2002 году из высшего дивизиона, команда 6 лет выступала в «Суперлиге Б», балансируя между 2-м и 4-м местом. В этот период «Спартак» получает в своём названии приставку «ШВСМ», обозначая принадлежность к «ШВСМ Измайлово». В сезоне 2008/09 команда снова заняла второе место, пропустив вперёд ногинский «Спартак», но из-за отказа победителя выступать в «Суперлиге А», москвички на следующий год заявились выступать в элитном дивизионе. За два проведенных сезона «Спартак» улучшил своё достижение в чемпионате России — заняв 9-е место.

Перед сезоном 2011/12 по финансовым соображениям клуб отказывается от участия в первенстве России и лишается статуса «профессиональный клуб», но в этом сезоне команда под названием «Спартак-ШВСМ (Москва)» становится бронзовым призёром Детско-юношеской баскетбольной лиги (ДЮБЛ).

В 2012 году, в связи с изменением статуса «ШВСМ Измайлово» на Центр спортивной подготовки по игровым видам спорта «Измайлово» (ЦСП «Измайлово»), потеряла своё название юношеская баскетбольная команда, которая с сезона 2012/13 выступает в Высшей лиги чемпионата России под именем ЦСП «Измайлово».

Титулы
 Серебряный призёр чемпионата СССР: 1938
