EVITA
A film review by Michael Dequina
Copyright 1996 Michael Dequina
(PG) **** (out of ****)
Who knew? After torturing moviegoers for the past decade with awful performances in sometimes even worse movies, Madonna actually proves to be a capable screen actress in what a number of audience members at the media screening declared "the best film of the year." While I don't think quite as highly of it, Alan Parker's long-awaited film version of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's celebrated stage musical/rock opera Evita is nonetheless a remarkable cinematic achievement--a brisk, involving, and highly entertaining spectacle that could breathe new life into the dead genre of the movie musical.
Evita follows the meteoric rise and fall of Eva Duarte Peron (Madonna), a girl from the Argentina countryside who dreams of fame and fortune in the big city. A liaison with tango singer Augustin Magaldi (Jimmy Nail) is her ticket to "B.A.--Buenos Aires--Big Apple," where she climbs up the social ladder and carves out a career as a model and actress by winning and then discarding useful lovers. Her most useful conquest turns out to be Juan Peron (Jonathan Pryce), who marries Eva and is soon elected president. As First Lady of Argentina, Eva wins the love of the nation and all the riches she ever dreamed of, but her flame is ultimately blown out in 1952, when, at the age of 33, she succumbs to uterine cancer.
Evita the show has a reputation for portraying one of the most beloved figures in Argentinean history as a scheming viper hungry for fame and fortune. While the film does not shy away from this angle, it is just one side of her persona; Eva as a whole is painted as a very complex figure. Her accomplishments for her country (grant women the right to vote, the openings of new hospitals, her giving money to the poor, etc.) are duly noted, and she does have a vulnerable side. Her obsessive drive to be famous is really more of a need for acceptance, something she never received as a child. We first see Eva as a girl all of 7 years old, forbidden to attend her father's funeral because she was the product of an extramarital affair. That scene is revisited more than once during the course of the film, and it serves as a reminder as how the dream began and how the woman came to be. Eva's sensitive side does shine through in other moments, especially in the lovely lament "Another Suitcase in Another Hall," which she sings after Magaldi turns her back on her soon after arriving in Buenos Aires (in the stage production, the tune is sung by another character); and most notably near the end, where you can sense her emptiness and the feeling that the dream had grown into something more than she could bear.
The effectiveness of those dramatic moments is due in no small part to Madonna's startling performance. Granted, she is in her element in this film, taking on a role that is almost entirely sung, but there is more to her work than her stronger-than-ever voice. In all her other films, she is so overwrought and in-your-face that she might as well have worn a sign that read "Look at me! I'm Madonna, and I'm ACTING!" Here, she is surprisingly restrained, and as a result her acting feels natural. It is that naturalness that enables her to make an emotional connection with the audience, something she has never been able to accomplish before. Usually a Madonna death scene in a movie is met with laughter (or walkouts); this time around there was silence, save for the sniffling that could be heard throughout the auditorium. After this film, she should retire from film acting; I don't see her ever topping her astonishing work here.
Madonna would likely not have been able to pull off her career-best work without the stellar talent around and behind her. The liveliest performance comes from Antonio Banderas, who plays the floating narrator Che. His perpetually unamused and cynical presence and viciously snarled vocals give the film a welcome edge and prevent it from taking itself too seriously. Tony Award winner Pryce adds some maturity and polish to the whole affair as only a theater vet can. But most of the kudos go to director-producer-co-scripter (with Oliver Stone) Parker, who keeps the action moving briskly while allowing time for quieter moments. The film is quite the visual spectacle; the numerous scenes of chaos are well-staged; the flashy editing serves the story well; and the scenes set at the balcony of the Casa Rosada, where the Perons address the hordes of extras standing below, are real stunners. To quote Che, "The best show in town was the crowd outside the Casa Rosada crying 'Eva Peron!'" Parker's one misstep is his tendency to crank up Webber's score to the max, which too often obscures Che's expository lyrics, which, in turn, are already somewhat obscured by Banderas's accent.
The movie musical is dead, and I doubt Evita will be its resurrection; I'm not so certain that contemporary moviegoers are ready for films where characters periodically break into song, let alone sing throughout the entire film. But if any film is to revive the movie musical, it will be Evita, for its haunting melodies, strong performances, and overall passion has the potential to reach even the most skeptical mainstream moviegoer.

To get started contributing to Spark, learn how to contribute – anyone can submit patches, documentation and examples to the project.
The PMC regularly adds new committers from the active contributors, based on their contributions to Spark. The qualifications for new committers include:
The type and level of contributions considered may vary by project area – for example, we greatly encourage contributors who want to work on mainly the documentation, or mainly on platform support for specific OSes, storage systems, etc.
The PMC also adds new PMC members. PMC members are expected to carry out PMC responsibilities as described in Apache Guidance, including helping vote on releases, enforce Apache project trademarks, take responsibility for legal and license issues, and ensure the project follows Apache project mechanics. The PMC periodically adds committers to the PMC who have shown they understand and can help with these activities.
All contributions should be reviewed before merging as described in
Contributing to Spark.
In particular, if you are working on an area of the codebase you are unfamiliar with, look at the
Git history for that code to see who reviewed patches before. You can do this using
git log --format=full <filename>
, by examining the “Commit” field to see who committed each patch.
PRs shall not be merged during active, on-topic discussion unless they address issues such as critical security fixes of a public vulnerability. Under extenuating circumstances, PRs may be merged during active, off-topic discussion and the discussion directed to a more appropriate venue. Time should be given prior to merging for those involved with the conversation to explain if they believe they are on-topic.
Lazy consensus requires giving time for discussion to settle while understanding that people may not be working on Spark as their full-time job and may take holidays. It is believed that by doing this, we can limit how often people feel the need to exercise their veto.
All -1s with justification merit discussion. A -1 from a non-committer can be overridden only with input from multiple committers, and suitable time must be offered for any committer to raise concerns. A -1 from a committer who cannot be reached requires a consensus vote of the PMC under ASF voting rules to determine the next steps within the ASF guidelines for code vetoes.
These policies serve to reiterate the core principle that code must not be merged with a pending veto or before a consensus has been reached (lazy or otherwise).
It is the PMC’s hope that vetoes continue to be infrequent, and when they occur, that all parties will take the time to build consensus prior to additional feature work.
Being a committer means exercising your judgement while working in a community of people with diverse views. There is nothing wrong in getting a second (or third or fourth) opinion when you are uncertain. Thank you for your dedication to the Spark project; it is appreciated by the developers and users of Spark.
It is hoped that these guidelines do not slow down development; rather, by removing some of the uncertainty, the goal is to make it easier for us to reach consensus. If you have ideas on how to improve these guidelines or other Spark project operating procedures, you should reach out on the dev@ list to start the discussion.
Changes pushed to the master branch on Apache cannot be removed; that is, we can’t force-push to it. So please don’t add any test commits or anything like that, only real patches.
To use the merge_spark_pr.py
script described below, you
will need to add a git remote called apache
at https://github.com/apache/spark
,
as well as one called apache-github
at git://github.com/apache/spark
.
The apache
(the default value of PUSH_REMOTE_NAME
environment variable) is the remote used for pushing the squashed commits
and apache-github
(default value of PR_REMOTE_NAME
) is the remote used for pulling the changes.
By using two separate remotes for these two actions the result of the merge_spark_pr.py
can be tested without pushing it
into the official Spark repo just by specifying your fork in the PUSH_REMOTE_NAME
variable.
After cloning your fork of Spark you already have a remote origin
pointing there. So if correct, your git remote -v
contains at least these lines:
apache git@github.com:apache/spark.git (fetch)
apache git@github.com:apache/spark.git (push)
apache-github git@github.com:apache/spark.git (fetch)
apache-github git@github.com:apache/spark.git (push)
origin git@github.com:[your username]/spark.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:[your username]/spark.git (push)
For the apache
repo, you will need to set up command-line authentication to GitHub. This may
include setting up an SSH key and/or personal access token. See:
To check whether the necessary write access are already granted please visit GitBox.
Ask<EMAIL_ADDRESS>if you have trouble with these steps, or want help doing your first merge.
All merges should be done using the dev/merge_spark_pr.py, which squashes the pull request’s changes into one commit.
The script is fairly self explanatory and walks you through steps and options interactively.
If you want to amend a commit before merging – which should be used for trivial touch-ups –
then simply let the script wait at the point where it asks you if you want to push to Apache.
Then, in a separate window, modify the code and push a commit. Run git rebase -i HEAD~2
and
“squash” your new commit.
You can verify the result is one change with git log
. Then resume the script in the other window.
Also, please remember to set Assignee on JIRAs where applicable when they are resolved. The script can do this automatically in most cases. However where the contributor is not yet a part of the Contributors group for the Spark project in ASF JIRA, it won’t work until they are added. Ask an admin to add the person to Contributors at https://issues.apache.org/jira/plugins/servlet/project-config/SPARK/roles .
Once a PR is merged please leave a comment on the PR stating which branch(es) it has been merged with.
From pwendell
:
The trade off when backporting is you get to deliver the fix to people running older versions (great!), but you risk introducing new or even worse bugs in maintenance releases (bad!). The decision point is when you have a bug fix and it’s not clear whether it is worth backporting.
I think the following facets are important to consider:
For me, the consequence of these is that we should backport in the following situations:
We tend to avoid backports in the converse situations:


--- layout: layouts/gbook/entries.njk title: Entries permalink: "/guestbook/entries/{% if pagination.pageNumber > 0 %}page/{{ pagination.pageNumber + 1 }}/{% endif %}" ---

RSS Profile Support Added
The RSS Best Practices Profile contains a set of recommendations for how to create RSS 2.0 documents that work best in the wide and diverse audience of client software that supports this format. The Feed Validator now checks for conformance to this profile, and echos the best practice advice contained in the document on how to improve interoperability when any of the following is detected:
- Plain text element containing HTML
- "&" or "<" not encoded using hexadecimal character references
- Item containing more than one enclosure
- Relative URL reference
- Email address without real name
- Misplaced Item
- Image title different than channel title
- TextInput element
- Content:encoded without prior description
- Channel without a atom:link with a rel="self"
- Slash:comments without lastBuildDate
Please direct any questions or comments about the profile itself to the rss-public mailing list.
Atom 0.3 Support Deprecated
Two months after the IETF Atom syndication format specification was declared ready for implementation (more), deprecation warnings have been put in place for all prior versions of Atom, including 0.3. While feeds that previously worked with a given combination of tools yesterday will presumably continue to work with the same combination of tools tomorrow, producers of feeds are being encouraged to step up to the IETF standard.
As always, feel free to join us on the feedvalidator-users discussion list.
Support for Atom 1.0 now in beta
Ever since the the IETF Atom syndication format specification has been declared ready for implementation (more), the demand for Atom 1.0 support by the Feed Validator has been high.
As progress on implementing the Atom 1.0 test cases has reached the point where the feed validator is rarely outright misleading any more, it is time for a wider exposure. At this point, the Feed Validator will accept bug reports on Atom 1.0 support
Particularly be on the look out for the following:
- Errors being reported as warnings, and vice versa
- Additional places where warnings would be helpful
- Unclear or confusing advice
As always, feel free to join us on the feedvalidator-users discussion list.
Version 1.3 supports Atom 0.3
Version 1.3 supports Atom 0.3 working draft. It no longer supports Atom 0.1, 0.2, or the unofficial 0.2.1. Old Atom feeds will fail with an "ObsoleteVersion" or "ObsoleteNamespace" error.
This release also features better validation for urn:
and tag:
URIs, which are commonly used in <id>
elements in Atom feeds.
There was one behavioral change to the RSS validation in this release. Previous versions of the Feed Validator would attempt to flag relative URLs within <description>
, <content:encoded>
, and <xhtml:body>
. This rule was wildly unpopular and was not supported by spec text. It was felt at the time that the issue was important for interoperability, and that the spec would soon be updated to address it, but neither of these assumptions turned out to be true. The check has been removed; relative URLs in those elements will no longer be flagged.

The first thing you need to do is add the ngAria JavaScript file to your HTML page.
{% highlight html %}
{% endhighlight %}
And then you need to add the ngAria submodule to your application.
[js]
angular.module('ngMailChimp', ['ngAria', 'ngMessages', 'ngAnimate'])
[/js]
And done! ngAria dynamically added the appropriate attributes to your application. Little things can indeed become big things.
Here is a review of what you need to do to increase the accessibility of your site with ngAria.
Thanks Marcy for your awesome work on this submodule!

Health insurance (or life assurance, especially in the Commonwealth of Nations) is a contract between an insurance policy holder and an insurer or assurer, where the insurer promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money (the benefit) in exchange for a premium, upon the death of an insured person (often the policy holder). Depending on the contract, other events such as terminal illness or critical illness can also trigger payment. The policy holder typically pays a premium, either regularly or as one lump sum. Other expenses, such as funeral expenses, can also be included in the benefits.
Protection policies-designed to provide a benefit, typically a lump sum payment, in the event of a specified occurrence. A common form more common in years past of a protection policy design is term insurance.

For eleven years, I had not seen Joe nor Biddy with my bodily eyes-though they had both been often before my fancy in the East-when, upon an evening in December, an hour or two after dark, I laid my hand softly on the latch of the old kitchen door. I touched it so softly that I was not heard, and looked in unseen. There, smoking his pipe in the old place by the kitchen firelight, as hale and as strong as ever though a little grey, sat Joe; and there, fenced into the corner with Joe’s leg, and sitting on my own little stool looking at the fire, was—I again!
“We giv’ him the name of Pip for your sake, dear old chap,” said Joe, delighted when I took another stool by the child’s side (but I did not rumple his hair), “and we hoped he might grow a little bit like you, and we think he do.”
I thought so too, and I took him out for a walk next morning, and we talked immensely, understanding one another to perfection. And I took him down to the churchyard, and set him on a certain tombstone there, and he showed me from that elevation which stone was sacred to the memory of Philip Pirrip, late of this Parish, and Also Georgiana, Wife of the Above.
“Biddy,” said I, when I talked with her after dinner, as her little girl lay sleeping in her lap, “you must give Pip to me, one of these days; or lend him, at all events.”
“No, no,” said Biddy, gently. “You must marry.”
“So Herbert and Clara say, but I don’t think I shall, Biddy. I have so settled down in their home, that it’s not at all likely. I am already quite an old bachelor.”
Biddy looked down at her child, and put its little hand to her lips, and then put the good matronly hand with which she had touched it, into mine. There was something in the action and in the light pressure of Biddy’s wedding-ring, that had a very pretty eloquence in it.
“Dear Pip,” said Biddy, “you are sure you don’t fret for her?”
“O no—I think not, Biddy.”
“Tell me as an old, old friend.
 But that poor dream, as I once used to call it, has all gone by, Biddy, all gone by!”
Nevertheless, I knew while I said those words, that I secretly intended to revisit the site of the old house that evening, alone, for her sake. Yes even so. For Estella’s sake.
I had heard of her as leading a most unhappy life, and as being separated from her husband, who had used her with great cruelty, and who had become quite renowned as a compound of pride, avarice, brutality, and meanness. And I had heard of the death of her husband, from an accident consequent on his ill-treatment of a horse. This release had befallen her some two years before; for anything I knew, she was married again.
The early dinner-hour at Joe’s, left me abundance of time, without hurrying my talk with Biddy, to walk over to the old spot before dark. But, what with loitering on the way, to look at old objects and to think of old times, the day had quite declined when I came to the place.
There was no house now, no brewery, no building whatever left, but the wall of the old garden. The cleared space had been enclosed with a rough fence, and, looking over it, I saw that some of the old ivy had struck root anew, and was growing green on low quiet mounds of ruin. A gate in the fence standing ajar, I pushed it open, and went in.
A cold silvery mist had veiled the afternoon, and the moon was not yet up to scatter it. But, the stars were shining beyond the mist, and the moon was coming, and the evening was not dark. I could trace out where every part of the old house had been, and where the brewery had been, and where the gate, and where the casks. I had done so, and was looking along the desolate gardenwalk, when I beheld a solitary figure in it.
The figure showed itself aware of me, as I advanced. It had been moving towards me, but it stood still. As I drew nearer, I saw it to be the figure of a woman. As I drew nearer yet, it was about to turn away, when it stopped, and let me come up with it. Then, it faltered as if much surprised, and uttered my name, and I cried out:
“Estella!”
“I am greatly changed. I wonder you know me.”
The freshness of her beauty was indeed gone, but its indescribable majesty and its indescribable charm remained. Those attractions in it, I had seen before; what I had never seen before, was the saddened softened light of the once proud eyes; what I had never felt before, was the friendly touch of the once insensible hand.
We sat down on a bench that was near, and I said, “After so many years, it is strange that we should thus meet again, Estella, here where our first meeting was! Do you often come back?”
“I have never been here since.”
“Nor I.”
The moon began to rise, and I thought of the placid look at the white ceiling, which had passed away. The moon began to rise, and I thought of the pressure on my hand when I had spoken the last words he had heard on earth.
Estella was the next to break the silence that ensued between us.
“I have very often hoped and intended to come back, but have been prevented by many circumstances. Poor, poor old place!”
The silvery mist was touched with the first rays of the moonlight, and the same rays touched the tears that dropped from her eyes. Not knowing that I saw them, and setting herself to get the better of them, she said quietly:
“Were you wondering, as you walked along, how it came to be left in this condition?”
“Yes, Estella.”
“The ground belongs to me. It is the only possession I have not relinquished. Everything else has gone from me, little by little, but I have kept this. It was the subject of the only determined resistance I made in all the wretched years.”
“Is it to be built on?”
“At last it is. I came here to take leave of it before its change. And you,” she said, in a voice of touching interest to a wanderer, “you live abroad still?”
“Still.”
“And do well, I am sure?”
“I work pretty hard for a sufficient living, and therefore—Yes, I do well.”
“I have often thought of you,” said Estella.
“Have you?”
“Of late, very often. There was a long hard time when I kept far from me, the remembrance, of what I had thrown away when I was quite ignorant of its worth. But, since my duty has not been incompatible with the admission of that remembrance, I have given it a place in my heart.”
“You have always held your place in my heart,” I answered.
And we were silent again, until she spoke.
“I little thought,” said Estella, “that I should take leave of you in taking leave of this spot. I am very glad to do so.”
“Glad to part again, Estella? To me, parting is a painful thing. To me, the remembrance of our last parting has been ever mournful and painful.”
“But you said to me,” returned Estella, very earnestly, ‘God bless you, God forgive you!’ And if you could say that to me then, you will not hesitate to say that to me now—now, when suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but—I hope—into a better shape. Be as considerate and good to me as you were, and tell me we are friends.”
“We are friends,” said I, rising and bending over her, as she rose from the bench.
“And will continue friends apart,” said Estella.
I took her hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place; and, as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first left the forge, so, the evening mists were rising now, and in all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to me, I saw no shadow of another parting from her.

We Give You: Aircraft Carrier HMS Prince Of Wales In All Her Glory
All the gen on HMSPWLS - dimensions, engines, facilities, facts and figures
by David WellsThis is the Royal Navy’s second Queen-Elizabeth class aircraft carrier as she gets ready for front-line duties around the world – one of the most powerful surface warships ever constructed in the United Kingdom.
Like her sister ship, HMS Queen Elizabeth, the size of HMSPWLS is awe-inspiring – she can embark 36 F-35B fast jets and four Merlin Helicopters.
Portsmouth Naval Base has been given an upgrade ready for the warship’s arrival which includes strengthening and modernising the port’s 1990’s Victory Jetty at a cost of £30 million.
The ship’s namesake, Charles, Prince of Wales, unveiled the aircraft carrier to the public in September 2019 at a naming ceremony which he attended with his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
All The Gen About HMS Prince Of Wales
Cost
HMS Prince Of Wales cost £3 billion to design and build by the Aircraft Carrier Alliance (ACA) - a integrated team formed from Babcock, BAE Systems, Thales UK and the Ministry of Defence, which acts as both partner and client. The team is responsible for delivering the Queen Elizabeth class ships to time and cost.
Tests and Trials
The aircraft carrier was put through sea trials in October 2019 in the Moray Firth and the North Sea which included tests of its long-range radar – tracking two Typhoon jets that were flown out of RAF Lossiemouth.
The second of the QE Class Aircraft carriers has been undertaking the sea trials since she left Rosyth.
Her 700 plus crew are supplemented with contractors, and support staff for the trials.
The carrier will increase the UK’s defence options to maintain carrier strike capability and means that one of the warships could be in maintenance with the other in any maritime operation.
The addition of HMS Prince Of Wales to the Royal Navy fleet is not only significant as the UK’s second aircraft carrier – it also enables the full-time employment of the rest of the Royal Navy’s and wider defence investment in capabilities.
The ship’s bridge team will have undertaken significant simulator training at HMS Collingwood and many of HMS Prince Of Wales’ crew have spent time on HMS Queen Elizabeth in order to prepare for bringing the second carrier alongside in Portsmouth.
The trials have a number of achievements so far including the first helicopter landing – a Merlin Mk2 of 820 Naval Air Squadron, the first test of engines at full power, reaching a top speed of more than 25 knots, and the first test of the long-range radar.
The warship has also made her first port visit to take on supplies, fuel and stores, in Invergordon, like her sister ship HMS Queen Elizabeth before her.
HMS Prince Of Wales
Dimensions
Length
HMS Prince Of Wales, like her sister warship HMS Queen Elizabeth, is 280 metres long – about the length of two-and-a-half football pitches and longer than the length of the Houses of Parliament.
Width
Her deck is 70 metres wide – about the width of the Pyramid main stage at Glastonbury Festival which could sit comfortably across the deck area of the ship.
Displacement
65,000 tonnes - a ship’s weight is based on the amount of water its hull displaces at varying loads.
Weapons
HMS Prince Of Wales has the latest generation of the Phalanx close-in weapon system.
The Phalanx gun system is designed as an anti-aircraft and anti-missile defence and is radar controlled, meaning it automatically detects, tracks and engages incoming threats and features a 20mm M61A1cannon with a rate of fire of up to 4,500 shots per minute.
She is also equipped with a host of small-calibre guns and the first tests of these have already been carried out by the crew. These are the ship’s last line of defence against small fast craft, such as speedboats or jetskis.
Should an enemy vessel evade the warship’s powerful outer layer of the carrier’s defence, which include frigate destroyers, automated guns and decoys, the responsibility for protecting the ship falls to the marksmanship of the crew’s gunnery team.
Engine
HMS Prince Of Wales has two Rolls-Royce Marine Trent MT30 36 MW (48,000 hp) gas turbine engines and four Wärtsilä 38 marine diesel engines (4 × 16V38 11.6 MW or 15,600 hp).
Rolls-Royce pioneered the use of aero-derivative gas turbines in marine propulsion, mainly for use in naval vessels and its MT30 gas turbines powering both HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Queen Elizabeth are the most powerful gas turbine engines in operation in the world.
These engines deliver enough power to run about a thousand family cars, with enough energy to power a town of 25,000 people.
The MT30 first entered service to power the US Navy’s first littoral combat ship, USS Freedom, in 2008.
Power
The ship's power generator is a low voltage electrical power distribution system which generates enough energy to power more than five thousand family homes and about 300,000 kettles.
Collectively, the diesel generators produce about 40 per cent of the total power for the carrier – with the Rolls-Royce MT30 main engines generating the rest.
Steering
The ship’s steering gear integrates two steering gear rotary vane actuators (a form of mechanics for moving and controlling a mechanism or system, such as by opening a valve using hydraulic power).
Operationally, the Rolls-Royce rotary vane design ensures full torque is available at all rudder angles – with two independent rudders to manoeuvre the carrier.
Propellers
The propellers on HMS Prince of Wales each deliver around 50,000 horsepower.
Rolls-Royce, which manufactured them at its facility in Sweden, says they are the highest power propeller ever produced by the company.
Each of the propellers is made from nickel aluminium bronze, 7m in diameter and weighs 33 tonnes.
Anchors
Her anchors were built in Norfolk and are about three metres in height, weighing 12,837 and 12,456 kilograms.
This is just one component of the ship, which was constructed across six shipyards around the country with more than 200 British companies supplying vital parts.
Crew And Facilities
The ship’s company is 700 personnel – plus contractors, and support staff during trials – each one of whom has to be catered for as they live at sea, during their duties and downtime.
This will increase to about 1,600 once aircraft are on board.
Catering
The warship’s chefs serve up to 4,800 meals every day and she holds up to 45 days’ worth of food in her stores.
There are four galleys and four large dining areas on board.
The food served up in those meals includes 72kgs each of meat and fruit, 200 litres of milk, 400 baguettes, 40 watermelons and 100 litres of soup.
The pantries, fridges and freezers of the carrier are able to hold 12,000 tins of baked beans, enough to fill 38 bath tubs, and 66,000 sausages, which would stretch four miles if laid end-to-end. The ship’s company gets through that amount at a rate of more than 550ft per day – the height of Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower.
She also stores 28,800 rashers of bacon – which weighs about the same as a Porsche Panamera supercar.
Fitness
The ship boasts a number of training areas and cardio gym which includes an area with spinning bikes, plus a weights room and a boxing training facility.
For physical health and mental, spiritual and religious well-being, she also has a medical centre and a chapel.
Law And Order
The Royal Navy Police Department will have service officers on board and they manage a custody area for times when someone aboard needs to be detained.
Capability
She is able to carry 36 F35B Lightning II Jets, and up to 40 helicopters and this could include 12 Chinook or Merlin helicopters and eight Apache attack helicopters, for example.
Fast Jets And Capabilities
Like her sister aircraft carrier Big Lizzie, HMS Prince Of Wales is expected to embark F35B fast jets as the obvious choice for a carrier strike force but the Crowsnest Maritime surveillance variant of the Merlin Helicopter and the new support ships RFA Tidespring class are expected to be called upon more with the second carrier.
The F35B trials on Queen Elizabeth have been successful with the highlight being the completion of rolling landings which significantly increases the landing weight of the F35 returning to the ship, meaning she can return with munitions and fuel which previously would have been jettisoned into the sea at great economic and ecological cost.
Trials of HMS Prince of Wales have a number of achievements so far including the first helicopter landing – a Merlin Mk2 of 820 Naval Air Squadron, the first test of engines at full power, reaching a top speed of more than 25 knots, and the first test of the long-range radar.
Commanding Officer
All of the above is under the watchful command of HMS Prince of Wales' commanding officer Captain Darren Houston.
Captain Houston first joined HMS Queen Elizabeth in January 2016 as The Commander, helping to guide the ship through contractor sea trials and her first deployment to the United States, where trials of the F35B landing and takeoffs were carried out.
He was then selected to command HMS Prince of Wales.

ScaleOut Time Windowing Library for .NET
Introduction
The ScaleOut Time Windowing Library for .NET provides a set of
windowing functions for time-ordered collections of events. These
windowing functions are provided as extensions methods that can
operate on any IEnumerable<T>
collection.
Example
using Scaleout.Streaming.TimeWindowing.Linq;
class HeartRate {
public DateTime Timestamp { get; set; } // assumes UTC
public short BeatsPerMinute { get; set; }
}
// Given heart-rate readings every minute, calculate the 5-minute
// moving average of a person's heart rate for the past 24 hours.
var readings = new List<HeartRate>();
// [...time-ordered readings populated here, one per minute]
var slidingWindows = readings.ToSlidingWindows(
timestampSelector: hb => hb.Timestamp,
startTime: DateTime.UtcNow - TimeSpan.FromHours(24),
endTime: DateTime.UtcNow,
windowDuration: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5),
every: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1));
// print each window's boundaries and its heartbeat average:
foreach (var win in slidingWindows)
Console.WriteLine($"{win.StartTime:t} - {win.EndTime:t}: {win.Average(hb => hb.BeatsPerMinute)}");
The library also provides convenience classes for management of collections of time-ordered elements. These classes offer automatic eviction and ordering of elements, and they are suited for scenarios where elements are only accessed and analyzed as a windowed transformation. See the Wrapper Classes section for details.
Windowing Methods
Three methods are provided to break up an enumerable collection into
different kinds of time windows. These are available as extension
methods in the Scaleout.Streaming.TimeWindowing.Linq
namespace:
- ToSlidingWindows: Transforms a collection into an enumerable collection of overlapped (sliding) windows.
- ToTumblingWindows: Transforms a collection into an enumerable collection of fixed-duration, non-overlapping windows.
- ToSessionWindows: Transforms a collection into an enumerable collection of session windows.
The windowing methods accept a user-defined Func<T, DateTime>
delegate that returns the time associated with each element in the
collection. This timestamp is used to determine which window (or
windows, in the case of the sliding windows) an element belongs
to. The collection must be sorted chronologically with respect to
the returned timestamp.
Each method returns a collection of
ITimeWindow
objects. An ITimeWindow
instance is itself an enumerable collection
of the elements in the source collection whose timestamps fall within
the window's time span.
Sliding Windows
Sliding window functions are often used to calculate the moving average of time series data. The duration of sliding windows is larger than the period between the windows, so the period of time covered by each window overlaps with its neighbors:
If no elements fall in a sliding time window, that window will be empty.
To use the library's ToSlidingWindows method, the source collection must be sorted chronologically. (See the Wrapper Classes section below for details on convenient wrapper classes that keep your source collection sorted.)
public static IEnumerable<ITimeWindow<TSource>> ToSlidingWindows<TSource>(
this IEnumerable<TSource> source,
Func<TSource, DateTime> timestampSelector,
DateTime startTime,
DateTime endTime,
TimeSpan windowDuration,
TimeSpan every)
Parameters
- source
- The sequence of elements to transform.
- timestampSelector
- A function to extract a timestamp from an element.
- startTime
- Start time (inclusive) of the first sliding window.
- endTime
- End time (exclusive) for the last sliding window(s).
- windowDuration
- Duration of each time window. This is a maximum value that will be shortened for the last window(s) in the returned sequence.
- every
- The period of time between the start of each sliding window.
Tumbling Windows
Tumbling windows, (or "fixed" windows), divide time series data into periodic, non-overlapping windows. Unlike sliding time windows, an element in a collection of tumbling windows may only appear in a single window.
If no elements fall in a tumbling time window, that window will be empty.
To use the library's ToTumblingWindows method, the source collection must be sorted chronologically. (See the Wrapper Classes section below for details on convenient wrapper classes that keep your source collection sorted.)
public static IEnumerable<ITimeWindow<TSource>> ToTumblingWindows<TSource>(
this IEnumerable<TSource> source,
Func<TSource, DateTime> timestampSelector,
DateTime startTime,
DateTime endTime,
TimeSpan windowDuration)
Parameters
- source
- The sequence of elements to transform.
- timestampSelector
- A function to extract a timestamp from an element.
- startTime
- Start time (inclusive) of the first tumbling window.
- endTime
- End time (exclusive) for the last tumbling window.
- windowDuration
- Duration of each time window. This is a maximum value that will be shortened for the last window in the returned sequence.
Session Windows
The duration of a session window is not fixed; rather, it is determined by the time interval between elements: if a period of idle time elapses between elements then a new session window is created.
Session windowing is often used when processing click data or other types of user activity--if a user is inactive for too long then the session window closed. A new session window is created once user activity resumes.
Unlike sliding and tumbling window functions, a session window is never empty.
Like the other windowing fuctions, the ToSessionWindows method requires the source collection to be sorted chronologically. (See the Wrapper Classes section below for details on convenient wrapper classes that keep your source collection sorted.)
public static IEnumerable<ITimeWindow<TSource>> ToSessionWindows<TSource>(
this IEnumerable<TSource> source,
Func<TSource, DateTime> timestampSelector,
TimeSpan idleThreshold)
Parameters
- source
- The sequence of elements to transform.
- timestampSelector
- A function to extract a timestamp from an element.
- idleThreshold
- Maximum allowed time gap between elements before a new session window is started.
Wrapper Classes
In addition to the three extension methods detailed above, the library
provides three wrapper classes to aid in the management and processing
of time-ordered events. The
SessionWindowCollection,
SlidingWindowCollection,
and
TumblingWindowCollection
classes wrap a source collection (typically a List<T>
or
LinkedList<T>
) and manage its elements.
These wrapper classes are intended to be used as alternatives to the library's extension methods when the underlying elements are accessed primarily as a windowed collection. It is therefore expected that the elements in the underlying source collection will only be accessed and modified through the chosen wrapper. These wrappers perform the following work on your behalf:
- Eviction: Eviction of elements is automatically handled, as
specified by the policy passed into the wrapper's
constructor. Eviction is performed when the wrapper collection is
constructed and when new items are added through the a wrapper's
Add()
method. - Ordering: When elements are added through a wrapper's
Add()
method, it is inserted into the underlying collection in the correct chronological position.
Once constructed, the wrapper can be enumerated to access its associated time windows.
Sliding Window Wrapper
The SlidingWindowCollection<T>
class provides the following constructor:
public SlidingWindowCollection(
IList<T> source,
Func<T, DateTime> timestampSelector,
TimeSpan windowDuration,
TimeSpan every
DateTime startTime)
The parameters to this constructor are similar to the parameters to
the ToSlidingWindows
extension method, except that the startTime
parameter defines the eviction policy for the collection as well as
the starting point for the windowing transform--elements with
timestamps prior to startTime
will be removed from the source
collection.
Also, there is no endTime
parameter in the wrapper's constructor
like there is in the ToSlidingWindows
method. When enumerating
through sliding windows exposed by the wrapper, the end time is
implicitly set to the last (most recent) element in the source
collection.
Once constructed, the wrapper's Add()
method should be used to add
elements to the collection.
Tumbling Window Wrapper
The TumblingWindowCollection<T>
class provides the following constructor:
public TumblingWindowCollection(
IList<T> source,
Func<T, DateTime> timestampSelector,
TimeSpan windowDuration,
DateTime startTime)
The parameters to this constructor are similar to the parameters to
the ToTumblingWindows
extension method, except that the startTime
parameter defines the eviction policy for the collection as well as
the starting point for the windowing transform. Elements with
timestamps prior to startTime
will be removed from the source
collection.
Also, there is no endTime
parameter in the wrapper's constructor
like there is in the ToTumblingWindows
method. When enumerating
through windows exposed by the wrapper, the end time is implicitly set
to the last (most recent) element in the source collection.
Once constructed, the wrapper's Add()
method should be used to add
elements to the collection.
Session Window Wrapper
The SessionWindowCollection<T>
class provides the following constructor:
public SessionWindowCollection(
IList<T> source,
Func<T, DateTime> timestampSelector,
TimeSpan idleThreshold,
int boundedSessionCapacity)
The parameters to this constructor are largely identical to the
paramaters to the ToSessionWindows
extension method, with the
exception of the additional boundedSessionCapacity
, which defines
how many sessions worth of elements to keep in the underlying
collection. If the boundedSessionCapacity
is exceeded then the
elements associated with the oldest session(s) at the front of the
source collection will be removed.
Once constructed, the wrapper's Add()
method should be used to add
elements to the source collection instead of adding elements directly
to the source collection. If the wrapper's Add()
operation results
in the creation of a new session window then it may evict elements in
accordance to the wrapper's boundedSessionCapacity
policy.

Citrus components are configured in the Spring application context as Spring bean definitions. In the following sheet we will give you a brief overview on the Citrus configuration components.
The Citrus components follow specific XML schema rules. You have to add these namespace definitions to the configuration file root element.
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:citrus="http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/config" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/config http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/config/citrus-config.xsd"> [...] </beans>
Message channels represent the in memory messaging solution in Citrus. Producer and consumer components are linked via channels. As this transport mechanism is also used in Spring integration API you are able to connect to all Spring integration message adapters via channels. Citrus offers a channel component that can be used both by Citrus and Spring Integration components.
The channel is a queue channel with optional capacity and polling-interval settings. You can also use the default Spring Integration channel implementations in combination with the Citrus components.
<citrus:channel id="helloServiceChannel" capacity="100" polling-interval="250"/>
Citrus offers a channel endpoint component that is able to create producer and consumer components. Producer and consumer send and receive messages both to and from a channel endpoint. By default the endpoint is asynchronous when configured in the Citrus application context.
<citrus:channel-endpoint id="helloEndpoint" channel-name="helloServiceChannel"/>
Interacting with the endpoints in a test case is quite easy. Just reference the id of the endpoint in your send and receive test actions. This pattern is valid for all endpoint components in Citrus.
<send endpoint="helloEndpoint"> <message> <payload> <v1:HelloRequest xmlns:v1="http://citrusframework.org/schemas/HelloService.xsd"> <v1:Text>Hello World!</v1:Text> </v1:HelloRequest> </payload> </message> </send>
<receive endpoint="helloEndpoint"> <message> <payload> <v1:HelloResponse xmlns:v1="http://citrusframework.org/schemas/HelloService.xsd"> <v1:Text>Hello Citrus!</v1:Text> </v1:HelloResponse> </payload> </message> </receive>
By default channel endpoints in Citrus are asynchronous. In case you need to wait for a synchronous response message on a channel you have to use synchronous channel endpoints accordingly. The synchronous endpoint automatically takes care on creating and managing reply destinations for the synchronous response messages. By default the reply destination is temporary for each message sent or received.
<citrus:channel-sync-endpoint id="helloSyncEndpoint" channel-name="helloChannel"/>
When sending a message to this endpoint in the first place the producer will wait synchronously for the response message to arrive on the reply destination. You can receive the reply message in your test case using the same endpoint component. So we have two actions on the same endpoint, first send then receive.
<send endpoint="helloSyncEndpoint"> <message> <payload> <v1:HelloRequest xmlns:v1="http://citrusframework.org/schemas/HelloService.xsd"> <v1:Text>Hello World!</v1:Text> </v1:HelloRequest> </payload> </message> </send>
<receive endpoint="helloSyncEndpoint"> <message> <payload> <v1:HelloResponse xmlns:v1="http://citrusframework.org/schemas/HelloService.xsd"> <v1:Text>Hello Citrus!</v1:Text> </v1:HelloResponse> </payload> </message> </receive>
When initiating the communication by receiving a message from a synchronous channel endpoint you are able to send a synchronous response back. Again just use the same endpoint reference in your test case. The handling of temporary reply destinations is done automatically behind the scenes. So we have again two actions in our test case, but this time first receive then send.
The Java Message Service (JMS) is a well known and commonly used messaging API. Producer and consumer do exchange messages via TCP/IP protocol using a JMS message broker. With JMS you can construct both synchronous and asynchronous communication patterns.
When using JMS components in Citrus you need a connection factory. The default bean id connectionFactory is automatically recognized by all Citrus JMS components.
<bean id="connectionFactory" class="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory"> <property name="brokerURL" value="tcp://localhost:61616" /> </bean>
A JMS endpoint can be a queue or a topic destination. Producer and consumer components can send or receive messages both to and from this endpoint. By default the endpoint is asynchronous, which means that you send or receive a message with the endpoint and you are done. JMS endpoints are configured in the Citrus application context.
<citrus-jms:endpoint id="helloQueueEndpoint" destination-name="Citrus.HelloService.Request.Queue" timeout="10000"/>
Besides defining a JMS endpoint with a destination name you can also reference a destination object instance directly. This way you can resolve destinations with a JNDI lookup for instance.
<citrus-jms:endpoint id="helloQueueEndpoint" destination="helloServiceQueue"/> <amq:queue id="helloServiceQueue" physicalName="Citrus.HelloService.Request.Queue"/>
If you want to interact with a topic destination just use the sub-pub-domain attribute which stands for publish subscribe communication pattern. All consumers connected to a topic destination will receive the messages simultaneously.
<citrus-jms:endpoint id="helloTopicEndpoint" destination-name="Citrus.HelloService.Request.Topic" pub-sub-domain="true"/>
Synchronous JMS communication is also represented by endpoints. The synchronous JMS endpoints will wait for response messages to arrive on some reply destination. By default this reply destination is temporary for each message sent or received.
<citrus-jms:sync-endpoint id="helloSyncEndpoint" destination-name="Citrus.HelloService.InOut.Queue"/>
If you rather want to define a static reply destination you can do so, too. You may need to work with message selectors then in order to pick the response message that belongs to a specific communication handshake.
<citrus-jms:sync-endpoint id="helloSyncEndpoint" destination-name="Citrus.HelloService.InOut.Queue" reply-destination-name="Citrus.HelloService.Reply.Queue"/>
SOAP WebServices over HTTP is a widely used communication scenario in modern enterprise applications. A SOAP WebService client is posting a SOAP request via HTTP to a server. SOAP via HTTP is a synchronous message protocol by default so the client is waiting synchronously for the response message. Citrus provides both SOAP client and server components in order to meet both directions of this scenario.
You have to add the citrus-ws XML namespace to your application context root element in order to use the SOAP components.
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:citrus-ws="http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/ws/config" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/ws/config http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/ws/config/citrus-ws-config.xsd"/>
When using SOAP message protocol in Citrus you need a message factory which takes care on creating the SOAP envelope, header and body elements. The message factory is a simple Spring bean that you add to the context. By default the id messageFactory is recognized by all Citrus SOAP components.
<bean id="messageFactory" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.saaj.SaajSoapMessageFactory"/>
The SOAP client component is responsible for sending a SOAP request to the server. As SOAP via HTTP follows the synchronous communication pattern the client waits for the response to arrive. The request-url attribute defines the HTTP server endpoint URL where the SOAP messages go to.
<citrus-ws:client id="helloSoapClient" request-url="http://localhost:8080/hello" timeout="60000"/>
Sending messages with this client in a test case is quite easy as you can simply reference the client in the send action by its id.
<send endpoint="helloSoapClient"> <message> <payload> <v1:HelloRequest xmlns:v1="http://citrusframework.org/schemas/HelloService.xsd"> <v1:Text>Hello World!</v1:Text> </v1:HelloRequest> </payload> </message> </send>
You can receive the synchronous response in your test case using the receive action with the same SOAP client id in reference.
<receive endpoint="helloSoapClient"> <message> <payload> <v1:HelloResponse xmlns:v1="http://citrusframework.org/schemas/HelloService.xsd"> <v1:Text>Hello Citrus!</v1:Text> </v1:HelloResponse> </payload> </message> </receive>
Citrus is also able to simulate the server side of the SOAP communication. Therefore Citrus starts an embedded HTTP server capable of handling incoming SOAP requests. The tester can then specify the SOAP response which is sent back to the calling client.
<citrus-ws:server id="helloSoapServer" port="8080" auto-start="true" resource-base="src/it/resources"/>
The server component does make use of some endpoint adapter behind the scenes. Basically this is a Spring WS SOAP endpoint. The Citrus SOAP server is therefore ready for powerful customizations such as default response generation, WS Adressing support, WS Security support, Basic authentication and many more.
Interacting with the SOAP server in your test case is as simple as using the client side. Just reference the server id in the send and receive test actions.
Notice that you do not need to specify the SOAP envelope and body elements. These are taken care of by the SOAP message factory that we have added to the application context.
<receive endpoint="helloSoapServer"> <message> <payload> <v1:HelloRequest xmlns:v1="http://citrusframework.org/schemas/HelloService.xsd"> <v1:Text>Hello World!</v1:Text> </v1:HelloRequest> </payload> </message> </receive>
The SOAP server will automatically correlate incoming request and response messages. So sending back a synchronous SOAP response is straight forward.
<send endpoint="helloSoapServer"> <message> <payload> <v1:HelloResponse xmlns:v1="http://citrusframework.org/schemas/HelloService.xsd"> <v1:Text>Hello Citrus!</v1:Text> </v1:HelloResponse> </payload> </message> </send>
REST APIs have gained more and more significance regarding client-server interfaces. The REST client is nothing but a HTTP client sending HTTP requests usually in JSON data format to a HTTP server. As HTTP is a synchronous protocol by nature the client receives the server response synchronously. Citrus provides REST HTTP client and server components and a powerful JSON message data support when sending and receiving messages.
You have to add the citrus-http XML namespace to your application context root element in order to use the HTTP REST components.
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:citrus-http="http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/http/config" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/http/config http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/http/config/citrus-http-config.xsd"/>
On the client side we have a simple HTTP message sender component connecting to the server. Again the request-url attribute defines the HTTP server endpoint URL to connect to. As usual you can reference this client in your test case in order to send and receive messages.
<citrus-http:client id="helloHttpClient" request-url="http://localhost:8080/hello" request-method="POST" content-type="application/xml" timeout="60000"/>
On the server side Citrus offers an embedded HTTP server which is capable of handling incoming REST requests. The tester then is able to define the synchronous response which is sent back to the calling client.
The server component is capable of receiving a lot of customizations and extensions such as Basic authentication. In the test case you can interact with the server by the well known send and receive test actions. You simply reference the server id inside the test case actions as shown before.
<citrus-http:server id="helloHttpServer" port="8080" auto-start="true" resource-base="src/it/resources"/>
Sending and receiving mail messages via SMTP is our next topic. Citrus is able to send mails to some SMTP server and Citrus is able to simulate a SMTP server for incoming mail messages.
You have to add the citrus-mail XML namespace to your application context root element in order to use the mail components.
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:citrus-mail="http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/mail/config" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/mail/config http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/mail/config/citrus-mail-config.xsd"/>
The client connects to some SMTP server in order to send mail messages. These messages can be plain text or HTML content. Multipart messages with binary and text attachments are also supported. The client component receives a destination host and port configuration.
<citrus-mail:client id="simpleMailClient" host="localhost" port="25025"/>
The mail content inside the test case is represented by a special Citrus mail XML payload. The mail client will convert the XML into a proper mail multipart message before sending. This way you can use the well known XML features that we have in Citrus when sending out mail content.
<send endpoint="simpleMailClient"> <message> <payload> <mail-message xmlns="http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/mail/message"><EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS><cc></cc> <bcc></bcc> <subject>This is a test mail message</subject> <body> <contentType>text/plain; charset=utf-8</contentType> <content>Hello Citrus mail server!</content> </body> </mail-message> </payload> </message> </send>
The mail server is a simple embedded SMTP server that accepts incoming mails. The incoming mail content is automatically converted to a Citrus XML representation. A test case can easily receive the mail content and validate the mail parts using the powerful XML comparison mechanism.
<citrus-mail:server id="simpleMailServer" port="25025" auto-start="true"/>
When receiving mail content in the test case you specify the expected mail content in XML representation. The XML comparison feature makes it easy for you to validate the incoming mail content.
<receive endpoint="simpleMailServer"> <message> <payload> <mail-message xmlns="http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/mail/message"><EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS><cc></cc> <bcc></bcc> <subject>This is a test mail message</subject> <body> <contentType>text/plain; charset=utf-8</contentType> <content>Hello Citrus mail server!</content> </body> </mail-message> </payload> </message> </receive>
By default the Citrus mail server accepts all incoming client connections automatically. In a more advanced mode the server is able to ask the test case for client accept permission for each incoming mail connection. In addition to that the server is able to split multipart messages. This means that the server will create a XML message representation for each body part in the mail message (e.g. mail attachments).
<citrus-mail:server id="advancedMailServer" auto-accept="false" split-multipart="true" port="25025" auto-start="true"/>
When the auto accept is disabled you as a tester have to explicitly provide an accept response. Therefore you receive an accept request for each incoming mail message with mail sender and recipient.
<receive endpoint="advancedMailServer"> <message> <payload> <accept-request xmlns="http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/mail/message"><EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS></accept-request> </payload> </message> </receive>
The test then responds with a accept response stating success or denial. When the accept outcome is true you can receive the mail content as usual in a next test case step. When the accept outcome is false the mail client connection is denied with SMTP server error.
<send endpoint="advancedMailServer"> <message> <payload> <accept-response xmlns="http://www.citrusframework.org/schema/mail/message"> <accept>true</accept> </accept-response> </payload> </message> </send>


Assault: Aged woman succumbs to injuries
Hit by her son with a stone
by Staff ReporterAn aged woman succumbed to injuries that she had sustained after being assaulted by her son in their house near Attukal two weeks ago.
The deceased was identified as Gomathy of Kalluvila. She had sustained serious head injuries after being allegedly attacked by her son Rejikumar alias Rajeev using a stone on November 4. Ever since the attack, she was being treated at the Government Medical College Hospital. Rejikumar had been arrested..
Meanwhile, the Fort police arrested their maid, Beena, 42, of Attukal, for allegedly stealing a necklace weighing two sovereigns from Gomathy, while she had been lying in a pool of blood following the attack. The theft came to light after Gomathy’s daughter noticed the necklace to be missing. The accused was remanded in judicial custody.
