EOC Spotlight: Planning and Intelligence Section Keeps Team on Track
Since the Cal Poly Emergency Operations Center was activated in March 2020, the Planning and Intel section has tracked the ever-changing situation and documented all of the EOC's activities to keep the team informed and updated on its objectives. Members of this section have tracked objectives for each weekly "operational period," starting with the first operational period on March 3, 2020. Since then, they've created over 60 weekly reports, updated a daily situation report to provide a clear picture of testing and cases on campus, managed numerous weekly meetings, and kept the team on track. In EOC lingo, if the Operations section is the "doers" and Logistics is the "getters," the Planning section is the "thinkers." In addition to managing the workload for their permanent jobs, these individuals have gone above and beyond to keep the EOC connected and coordinated: Lanaya Gaberel, Marlene Cramer, Terrance Harris, Emily Orlando, Melissa Bullaro, Kathleen Cook, Lori Serna, Aydin Nazmi, Troy Weipert, Abigail Haskell and Amy Voorhies. Thanks to them for all the time and selfless effort they put into this role during the pandemic.
COVID-19 Vaccine Appointments Available on Campus Through June 4; More than Half of Students Living on Campus Report Being Vaccinated
There is still time to get a COVID-19 vaccine on campus before the end of spring quarter. The Rite Aid vaccination clinic is open to everyone through June 4. The clinic is hosting several weekend dates and welcomes walk-ins on weekdays. The clinic provides the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine to anyone 18 and older, as well as first and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine to anyone 12 and older. (Minors must have parental consent.) Appointments are available through Rite Aid's registration page by searching the ZIP code 93407. Off-campus, first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines are available through the My Turn appointment system online or at 833-422-4255 or vaccinefinder.org. All three of SLO County Public Health's mass vaccination sites are open for walk-ins, though hours have changed; those sites plan to close after June 3. Students have had the opportunity to share their COVID-19 vaccination records with Campus Health and Wellbeing since April 23, and since then, more than 7,000 students report receiving all necessary doses of their vaccine. To date, more than 59% of students living on campus are fully vaccinated. Visit Cal Poly's vaccine page for a spectrum of additional resources, including links to appointment opportunities, transportation resources and information about the available vaccines.

Study Finds Weight-Loss Maintainers Sit Less Than Weight-Stable People with Obesity
A new study found that people who lost weight and kept it off spent less time sitting compared to people with obesity whose weight stayed the same. This is the first study to examine time spent in various sitting activities among weight-loss maintainers. The research was published today in the journal Obesity. In 2006, the National Weight Control Registry showed that weight-loss maintainers watched significantly less television than controls, but other sitting activities weren't included in the registry. The Rhode Island-based research study includes more than 10,000 who have lost at least 30 pounds of weight and kept it off for at least one year. In the Cal Poly study, weight-loss maintainers and controls reported similar TV time, but weight-loss maintainers spent less time using a computer or video game outside of work. "The findings hopefully will prompt future weight maintenance intervention research testing the effects of and optimal approaches for reducing sedentary behavior, including non-work-related computer and video game usage," said Suzanne Phelan one of the study's lead authors, director of Cal Poly's Center for Health Research, and a professor in the Kinesiology and Public Health Department. "Future research should include objective measures of sedentary behavior and activity." Read the news release.
Study Finds Recording of Whitewater River Noise Drives Bats and Birds Away
A new Cal Poly study finds that birds and bats often avoid habitat swamped with loud whitewater river noise. "Naturally loud environments have been largely neglected in ecological research," said Dylan Gomes, a Cuesta College alumnus who led the study as part of his doctoral research at Boise State University in Boise, Idaho. "We aimed to test the hypothesis that intense natural noise can shape animal distributions and behavior by experimentally broadcasting whitewater river noise at a massive scale." The study, published today in the journal Nature Communications, was a collaboration between Cal Poly and Boise State. "The prevailing hypothesis for why many animals avoid noise is called masking," said Cal Poly biology Professor Clinton Francis, one of the senior authors. "When noise overlaps in frequency — what we perceive as pitch — with a biological signal such as birdsong, it masks, or hides, that signal. By broadcasting noise of different frequencies, we hoped to assess the role that masking of important sounds plays in animals choosing to avoid noisy places." Read the news release.

Antonio "Greg" Barata
Music Professor Antonio "Greg" Barata, longtime director of the sound design program — as well as instructor of theory, composition and orchestration — retired from full-time teaching at the end of spring quarter 2020 after 35 years. He will teach part time for the next few years. He earned his Doctorate of Musical Arts in music composition from the University of Illinois, specializing in electroacoustic and computer music, in 1985, the same year he started at Cal Poly. He founded the Sound Design program, and RSVP is the capstone of the sequential series of classes that evolved to a fully staged production, including theater, musical scenes, musical parody, dance and live and prerecorded music. The classes give students the skills and exposure to the technology and media elements needed to combine the composition, performance, soundscape and staging that bring these shows to life. Spring 2020 marked the 25th anniversary of RSVP, which was offered virtually in three video installments due to the pandemic. Barata is an active composer. In March 2020, the Cal Poly Wind Ensemble premiered his piece "Winds of Change." In 2006, he earned a Master of Pastoral Studies degree from Loyola University in New Orleans and is currently a deacon at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Parish in Nipomo. Barata has generously served the Music Department by chairing almost every faculty search committee. Sign Barata's virtual card.

How do we learn to love one another? Internet chat rooms of the early 2000s, — precursors to today's social networking media — allowed people to virtually meet others throughout the world with the same passions, interests, loves, hates and loneliness. When a teenager desperate for help reaches out to a chat room, several strangers respond. But what are their true intentions? This prescient 2005 play by Walsh ("Once," "Disco Pigs") explores the murky potential of online relationships — from cruelty to loving kindness. Reserve free tickets here and contact Christy Chand with questions.

Value engineering enjoys widespread use throughout the Federal Government and in the private sector. The many billions of dollars saved over the years is a tribute to the effectiveness of applying value engineering methodology to construction projects. The Federal Axquisition Regulations require the use of value engineering in all Federal construction contracts with working estimates of $100,000.00 or more. Many private construction management firms offer value engineering as a part of their pre-construction package of services. This report looks at the similarities and differences of value management programs practiced in the construction management industry today through a comparative look at three major Federal Government acquisition agencies with construction management responsibilities and three large scale private construction firms in the southeastern United States offering Construction Management (CM) services to their clients. The Federal Government has very stringent regulation and guidelines for executing their value management programs. The private firms in this study, on the other hand, appear to do a great job in the area of value management but do not rely as much on regulations and guidelines and more on practical experience and lessons learned. One area in which the Navy is utilizing value management methodology in a unique way is with the Functional Analysis Concept Development (FACD) workshops. These workshops use VE techniques to better define the scope of a proposed project prior to any design efforts. The FACD team consist of representatives of the owner, A&E firm, end user, and the construction management agency. The workshops can be used in conjuction with any acquisition strategy including design-build and have produced award winning designs and completed projects for the clients and customers of Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFACENGCOM). Value engineering propsal databases are capturing a tremendous amount of value added construction materials and methods that can be used on projects of similar scope. With this information at the designers' fingertips, the result should be higher quality designs leaving the drafting tables. This could be especially useful in projects of smaller dollar value that do not justify a full-blown VE study. Value Engineering has been around, in America. since the 1940s and it is still evolving and being improved upon, which should not be surprising since process improvement is at the heart of any value management philosophy.

Complete Census Count Key to Funding
The Long Beach Unified School District and the City of Long Beach are co-chairing a Census 2020 Complete Count Campaign. By partnering with many other organizations throughout Long Beach, the campaign aims to achieve a complete count of every person in the city.
An accurate count is key to securing millions of dollars in funding for local schools, including Title I funds for disadvantaged populations, and resources to support Head Start, child care, the National School Lunch Program, and other vital health, housing and energy assistance services.
The census, which only occurs every ten years and is the most inclusive civic activity in the nation, is also integral to American democracy. The count ensures equal representation and equal access to important governmental and private sector resources. The Census drives more than $800 billion annually in federal assistance to states, localities and families. Census results are used to allocate seats and draw district lines for the U.S. House of Representatives, state legislatures and local boards.
Schools will support the Census in a number of ways as the campaign launches in Spring 2020. K-12 classroom materials will be provided by LBUSD's History/Social Studies Office to support using Census 2020 as a teaching opportunity. Employees will be encouraged to take the Census themselves and ensure that their children are counted. Front offices at schools will offer access to Census materials and a Chromebook that parents can use when the count begins.
Learn more at 2020Census.gov.

Trump banned from Facebook for next two weeks – Zuckerberg
By Megan Ellis
Read nextTwitter explains why it banned Trump
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced that US President Donald Trump will be banned from posting on the platform for the next two weeks.
This follows violence at the US Capitol, where a crowd of Trump supporters stormed the government building. This resulted in the evacuation of government staff as the crowd took over the building.
Critics accused the president of personally encouraging the incident during a rally at the White House. He also continued to post claims of election fraud on social media during the riot.
As a result, both Facebook and Twitter locked Trump out of his accounts temporarily.
But now, Zuckerberg has taken this further. He announced that the president will not be allowed to use his Facebook account for the rest of his term.
"The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden," Zuckerberg announced in a Facebook post.
He said that Trump's decision to condone the actions of the crowd led to the extension of the temporary ban.
"We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great," Zuckerberg said.
"Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete."
Trump gets Twitter account back
In the meantime, Twitter has restored the president's account. Trump has since released a video statement committing to a smooth transition of power. He also condemned the storming of the Capitol.
It's unclear whether this turnabout in Trump's tone will result in a reversal of Facebook's decision. Trump posted the video on Twitter around nine hours after Zuckerberg announced the Facebook ban.

Operation Bertram was a Second World War deception operation practised by the Allied forces in Egypt led by Bernard Montgomery, in the months  before the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942. Bertram was devised by Dudley Clarke to deceive Erwin Rommel about the timing and location of the Allied attack. The operation consisted of physical deceptions using dummies and camouflage, designed and made by the British Middle East Command Camouflage Directorate led by Geoffrey Barkas. These were accompanied by electromagnetic deceptions codenamed Operation Canwell, using false radio traffic. All of these were planned to make the Axis believe that the attack would take place to the south, far from the coast road and railway, about two days later than the real attack.

Bertram consisted of the creation of the appearance of army units where none existed and in concealing armour, artillery and matériel. Dummy tanks and guns were made mainly of local materials including calico and palm-frond hurdles. Real tanks were disguised as trucks, using light "Sunshield" canopies. Field guns and their limbers were also disguised as trucks, their real wheels visible, under a simple box-shaped "Cannibal" canopy to give the shape of a truck. Petrol cans were stacked along the sides of existing revetted trenches, hidden in the shadows. Food was stacked in piles of boxes and draped with camouflage nets to resemble trucks.

Trucks were parked openly in the tank assembly area for some weeks. Real tanks were similarly parked openly, far behind the front. Two nights before the attack, the tanks replaced the trucks, being covered with "Sunshields" before dawn. The tanks were replaced that same night with dummies in their original positions, so the armour remained seemingly two or more days' journey behind the front line. To reinforce the impression that the attack was not ready, a dummy water pipeline was constructed, at an apparent rate of  per day. Some days' worth remained to be built at the time of the attack; dummy tanks, guns and supplies were constructed to the south.

After the battle, the captured German panzerarmee general Wilhelm Ritter von Thoma told Montgomery that he had believed the Allies had at least one more armoured division than they did and that the attack would be in the south. Rommel's stand-in, general Georg Stumme, thought the attack would not begin for several weeks. Bertram had succeeded; when announcing the victory at El Alamein in the House of Commons, Winston Churchill praised the camouflage operation.

Planning

Bertram was devised by Dudley Clarke to deceive Erwin Rommel about the timing and location of the expected allied attack by the Eighth Army. It consisted of physical deceptions using dummies and camouflage, concealing real movements, in particular of Montgomery's armour. Bertram was accompanied by electromagnetic deceptions codenamed "Operation Canwell" using false radio traffic. The front line was relatively short: it stretched from the Mediterranean Sea in the north, near El Alamein railway station, to the effectively impassable Qattara Depression in the south, a distance of only about 30 miles. It was therefore clear to the enemy that the attack must come in this space, and since the only road was in the north, surprise and full-scale attack in any other location might have been thought unlikely. The deceptions were planned to make the enemy believe that the attack would take place to the south, far from the coast road and railway, and about two days later than the real attack.

Soon after his arrival on 8 August 1942, the new Middle East commander, Harold Alexander, visited Geoffrey Barkas's camouflage unit at Helwan to assess its ability to implement Bertram. He looked at everything intently, but seemed most interested in the woodworking shop.

On 16 September 1942, Freddie de Guingand, Montgomery's chief of staff, summoned Barkas and Tony Ayrton to Eighth Army headquarters near Borg-el-Arab. He told them this was to be top secret, that Alexander had been impressed by his visit to Helwan, and that he wanted Camouflage's advice. He introduced Charles Richardson, who worked for Dudley Clarke's secretive 'A' Force and was to implement the deception Montgomery needed. Richardson had not been trained in deception planning, given the accelerated training of staff officers in 1940, nor had he ever prepared a deception plan before. He was determined it should succeed, since, as he wrote, "if it failed it would do far more damage than having no plan at all". de Guingand outlined the basic plan: an attack in the north, along the line of the coast road, with a feint some 20 miles to the south. The tanks would take two days to move into battle position from their forming-up positions. Engineering work was already under way. He then astonished them by asking them to hide the hundreds of tanks and field guns, and the thousands of tons of matériel, that were to be used for the decisive attack at El Alamein. Barkas had been hoping for such an opportunity, and now he was being offered the chance to camouflage perhaps the largest desert battle ever attempted.

Barkas and Ayrton went out onto the beach dunes to sit and think. Barkas recalled the sacked Jasper Maskelyne, a stage magician who had briefly worked for him, saying he needed his vanishing tricks now. Ayrton agreed, suggesting they use Sunshields to make the tanks seem to be trucks, and vice versa. By the end of that afternoon they had typed up a plan and presented it to de Guingand and Richardson. They proposed to create two dummy armoured brigades to deploy in the south. They would give the appearance of not being ready by making it seem the tanks had not moved from their forming-up areas (Murrayfield and Melting Pot). Dummy tanks would replace them there; while they would mimic trucks when they arrived in the forward Martello area.

Richardson asked if they could use something like Steven Sykes's dummy railhead which had worked so well at Misheifa. Barkas answered that he intended to build a dummy water pipeline to go down south, and to be obviously not ready.

Within two weeks Barkas's plan was accepted, but with one change requested by Montgomery: the dummy armour was doubled to represent a whole armoured corps of over 600 vehicles. Richardson integrated the camouflage plan with the main plans: in Barkas's words, Richardson "amplified it a great deal to fit in with all the other major considerations, which he knew and I didn't."

Barkas, a former film director, was set to work "on the task of providing props for the biggest 'film production' on which I ever expect to be engaged". Work began on 27 September, giving 4 weeks before the day of the attack.

Execution

The operation had two aims: creating the appearance of army units where none existed and concealing the real armour, artillery and matériel at the front. Barkas observed that "the concealment of the huge assembly of the Armoured Corps was essentially a piece of military planning by Army Headquarters, with Camouflage carrying out certain specific tasks". Since it would be impossible to hide the existence of such a large number of vehicles, especially of tanks in the Martello area, Barkas planned instead to make the vehicles there quite obvious, as trucks, well before battle. The tanks, too, would be openly displayed, far behind the battle front. When the enemy saw that nothing seemed to be happening, the trucks would be replaced by tanks, masquerading as trucks. That meant that the tanks, too, would have to be seen not to move so they would all be replaced with dummies. An unprecedented and "formidable" number of dummies were required: more than 400 tanks, 100 guns, and nearly 2000 soft-skinned vehicles.

Different techniques were used for each task. The British Army had intentionally recruited designers, architects and artists for camouflage work. Tony Ayrton was a painter, son of the architect Maxwell Ayrton. Brian Robb had arrived more informally: he joined the army as a private, but Barkas noticed him and made use of his skills as an artist, teacher and illustrator by having him speedily promoted to Staff Lieutenant. Ayrton and Robb became Barkas's "GSO2"s, his senior staff officers, and they supervised the camouflage schemes used in Operation Bertram.

Three companies of Pioneers were assigned to Barkas's command to carry out the physical work of making the thousands of dummies. They came respectively from East Africa, Mauritius and the Seychelles. One company worked the standard bed frame palm hurdles into the required shapes and fixed them together to make tank bodies, turrets and other dummy vehicle elements. The second company prepared hessian covers for the vehicle elements. The third company painted and prepared the dummies to the required degree of realism. Since the different Pioneer companies did not like one another, Barkas moved their camps as far apart as possible. To help maintain security, a NAAFI canteen was set up exclusively for the camouflage workers, to help keep everyone in camp.

"Sunshields" for tanks

Real tanks were disguised as trucks, using light "Sunshield" canopies. They were made in two halves, which hinged on the sides of the tank. A half could be lifted by two men and fitted or removed in a few minutes. Different models of Sunshield existed to fit the various types of Allied tank which included Crusaders, Valentines, Grants and Shermans, mimicking different kinds of truck.

A total of 722 Sunshields were deployed in Bertram. According to Peter Forbes, "Sunshields were the most successful and the most exhilaratingly mimetic of the deceptions practised in the desert."

The idea for the Sunshield came from Commander-in-Chief Middle East, General Wavell himself. He sketched a tank mimicking a truck in a handwritten note:

The note was passed to Barkas, in his words "not long after my arrival in Middle East... The whole idea was there. It was only a matter of design, development, and arrangements for manufacture." The first heavy wooden prototype was made in 1941 by Jasper Maskelyne, who gave it the name Sunshield. 12 men were needed to lift it, and it disintegrated on its first trial run on a Crusader tank. However, Barkas had enough confidence in the Sunshield to ask for a lighter version. The Mark 2 Sunshield was made of canvas stretched over a light steel tube frame. It was strong, light, and cheap to manufacture. And crucially, from as low as 500 feet, RAF pilots found that the Mark 2 convincingly resembled a truck.

The 722 Sunshields were carefully pre-positioned in the Martello tank-holding area near El Imayid railway station. Each was numbered. The crew of each tank was brought to Martello, told their number, shown where they would be parked and taught how to put up and take down the Sunshield, which they would have to do at night.

"Cannibals" for field guns

Field guns and their limbers were disguised as British "3-tonner" trucks, under the direction of Tony Ayrton and Brian Robb. They arranged for the long towing pole of the limber to overlap the trail of the gun and then put up a dummy truck canopy over both. The real wheels of both the gun and the limber added to the realism of the dummy truck, as they remained visible under the canopy, exactly where the truck's wheels ought to be. The technique was named "Cannibal" because the gun and limber were "eaten up" by the canopy.

The extremely distinctive Morris C8 four wheel drive tractors, known as "Quads" that pulled the 25 pounder guns and their limbers also had to be disguised, as their presence directly advertised the presence of artillery. They were more simply camouflaged, again as trucks with real wheels, by draping a net over four poles tied to the sides of the vehicle and braced with guy ropes.

A total of 360 Cannibals were deployed in Bertram. The rear artillery concentration area and the forward artillery barrage area near El Alamein station were named Cannibal I and Cannibal II, respectively, after the camouflage technique. In Barkas's own words

Real and dummy matériel

Petrol cans were stacked along the sides of existing revetted trenches near El Alamein railway station. It was found by experiment that when they were hidden in the shadows in that way, they were invisible from the air and so 2,000 tons of petrol were thus stored. Over 100,000 four-gallon petrol tins were stacked in the 100 stone-faced slit trenches.

Food was stacked in piles of boxes, and draped with camouflage nets to resemble trucks: a large box-shaped pile for the truck's body, and smaller piles for the truck's cab and engine. That meant that attractive materials including sugar and cigarettes were dispersed around the desert instead of being in readily-guarded camps. The most desirable items were therefore put in the "trucks" in the middle of the areas and hidden in the middle of each stack, and army command accepted the risk of theft.

While the real supplies in the north were carefully hidden, matching dummy supplies had to be created in the south. In the area named Brian after camouflage officer Brian Robb, over 700 dummy stacks, representing food, petrol, ammunition and other supplies, were constructed.

Static dummy tanks and guns were made mainly of local materials including calico and palm-frond hurdles. Some dummy tanks were mobile, consisting of light frames placed over jeeps. A total of 500 dummy tanks and 150 dummy guns were constructed.

One night shortly before the battle, a powerful dust storm destroyed many of the dummy vehicles. Ayrton worked throughout that night and all the following day to restore the "film set" to an appearance of reality. The Axis command did not notice the breakdown of the illusion. The Royal Air Force had established air superiority by 18 October and completely excluded German reconnaissance aircraft from the Bertram area from then until battle commenced.

Double bluff

On the edge of the Munassib Depression, Bertram risked a double bluff. From 15 October 1942, a week before the attack, Camouflage constructed three and a half dummy field regiments of artillery. They were carefully made to appear seriously camouflaged, but day by day, they were maintained less and less well, to allow the enemy to decide it was facing dummy guns at Munassib. When the real battle had begun, the dummies were replaced at night with real artillery, which then kept utterly still for a day. An Axis tank attack on Munassib was shocked to find itself being fired on by the massed "dummy" guns.

Final stages

To achieve the deception, trucks were parked openly in the tank assembly area for some weeks. Real tanks were similarly parked openly, far behind the front. Two nights before the attack, the tanks replaced the trucks and were covered with "Sunshields" before dawn. The tanks were replaced that same night with dummies in their original positions so that the armour remained seemingly two or more days' journey behind the front line. To reinforce the impression that the attack was not ready, a dummy water pipeline was constructed in "Operation Diamond", at an apparent rate of 5 miles per day. Two of Barkas's camouflage officers, Phillip Cornish and Sidney Robinson, supervised the work. Some days' worth remained to be built at the time of the actual attack. The pipeline was supported by dummy pump-houses, overhead tanks and filling stations, complete with straw men. Real traffic was made to drive nearby to create tracks.

Results

After the battle, the captured German panzerarmee general Wilhelm Ritter von Thoma told Montgomery that he had believed the allies had at least one more armoured division than they did, and that the attack would be in the south. Rommel's stand-in, general Georg Stumme, thought the attack would not begin for several weeks. German documents and prisoners of war confirmed that the German commanders had believed in the existence of the decoy unit, and had not anticipated the true avenue of attack. Bertram had succeeded in all its objectives.

On 11 November 1942, Winston Churchill described the battle at El Alamein to the House of Commons, London and praised the success of Operation Bertram:

Marie Raphaëlle Cimatti (Faenza,  - Alatri, ) est une religieuse italienne des sœurs hospitalières de la Miséricorde et reconnue bienheureuse par l'Église catholique.

Biographie
Elle naît le  d'un père ouvrier agricole et d'une mère tisserande qui lui donne le prénom de Santina. Elle ne peut consacrer que peu de temps aux études car la famille a besoin de son travail à la suite de la mort de son père survenue en 1882. Ses deux frères entrent très jeunes chez les salésiens : Louis, coadjuteur au Pérou, meurt en 1927 en odeur de sainteté et Vincent Cimatti, fondateur des missions salésiennes au Japon est reconnu vénérable en 1991. Santina considère alors qu'il est essentiel de rester proche de sa mère jusqu'à ce qu'elle trouve un arrangement digne pour elle dans la maison d'un prêtre. Au seuil de son vingt-huitième anniversaire, son curé accueille sa vieille mère, promettant de prendre soin d'elle comme de la sienne.

Le , elle entre à Rome chez les sœurs hospitalières de la Miséricorde. La vie à l'hôpital lui permet d'exercer toute sa générosité et son dévouement envers les malades. Elle fait sa prise d'habit le  et reçoit le nouveau nom de sœur Marie Raphaëlle, un an plus tard, elle fait sa première profession religieuse en prononçant, outre les trois vœux religieux traditionnels, un quatrième vœu d'hospitalité qui engage au service des malades et des souffrants. Elle fait sa profession perpétuelle en 1905.

En 1921, elle est élue supérieure de la maison de Frosinone et en 1928 supérieure de la maison d'Alatri. Toujours disponible, aimable, joyeuse et amicale, elle montre que l'hôpital n'est pas seulement l'endroit où l'on souffre et meurt, mais aussi un environnement où l'on peut exercer les meilleures vertus humaines et chrétiennes. En 1940, elle démissionne de son poste de supérieure en restant dans la communauté d'Alatri comme simple religieuse, au service des sœurs, des malades, du personnel de l'hôpital, en consacrant toutefois beaucoup de temps à la prière et l'adoration eucharistique. La Seconde Guerre mondiale bat son plein quand, en 1944, les alliés repoussent les Allemands, qui battent en retraite. Sœur Marie Raphaëlle, malgré ses quatre-vingts ans et sa mauvaise santé, se dévouant avec compétence et amour pour les blessés.

Lorsque se répand la nouvelle qu'un éventuel bombardement peut avoir lieu sur Alatri pour empêcher l'avance des alliés, elle intervient auprès des troupes allemandes stationnées dans la même ville pour obtenir du général Kesselring un changement dans le plan stratégique. Le , sœur Marie Raphaëlle meurt en laissant un souvenir vivant de sainteté. Elle est reconnue vénérable le  et béatifiée le  par Jean-Paul II. Son corps repose dans une châsse dans la co-cathédrale Saint-Paul d'Alatri.

membership.asp in Mini-Nuke 2.3 and earlier uses plaintext security codes, which allows remote attackers to register multiple times via automated scripts.
17485	 CVE-2006-2730 File Inclusion 2006-06-01 2017-10-18
PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in admin/lib_action_step.php in Hot Open Tickets (HOT) 11012004_ver2f, when register_globals is enabled, allows remote attackers to include arbitrary files via the GLOBALS[CLASS_PATH] parameter. NOTE: this issue might be resultant from a global overwrite vulnerability.
Unspecified versions of Mozilla Firefox allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a web page that contains a large number of nested marquee tags. NOTE: a followup post indicated that the initial report could not be verified.
Secure Elements Class 5 AVR client (aka C5 EVM) before 2.8.1 does not validate the CEID of an incoming message, which allows remote attackers to send messages to a protected asset without knowing the proper CEID.
Secure Elements Class 5 AVR client (aka C5 EVM) before 2.8.1 generates predictable CEIDs, which allows remote attackers to determine the CEID of a protected asset, which can be used in other attacks against AVR.
Secure Elements Class 5 AVR (aka C5 EVM) client and server before 2.8.1 do not verify the integrity of a message digest, which allows remote attackers to modify and replay messages.
Secure Elements Class 5 AVR (aka C5 EVM) 2.8.1 and earlier, and possibly later 2.8.x releases, uses the same initialization vector and key for each message session, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information about messages.
Secure Elements Class 5 AVR (aka C5 EVM) before 2.8.1 uses the same invariant RSA key for all installations, which allows remote attackers with the key to decrypt communications.
17492	 CVE-2006-2709 Exec Code 2006-05-31 2017-07-19
Secure Elements Class 5 AVR (aka C5 EVM) before 2.8.1 do not validate the source address of a message, which allows remote attackers to (1) execute arbitrary code on a client or (2) forge messages to the server.
17493	 CVE-2006-2708 Overflow 2006-05-31 2017-07-19
Secure Elements Class 5 AVR client (aka C5 EVM) before 2.8.1 allows remote attackers to read portions of process memory via a modified size for (1) EM_GET_CE_PARAMETER and (2) EM_SET_CE_PARAMETER messages, which leads to a buffer overflow (probably an over-read).
Secure Elements Class 5 AVR server (aka C5 EVM) before 2.8.1 does not validate the peer certificate when obtaining an update, which could allow remote attackers to distribute malicious updates to clients.
Secure Elements Class 5 AVR server (aka C5 EVM) before 2.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via forged "session start" messages that cause AVR to connect to arbitrary hosts.
Secure Elements Class 5 AVR server (aka C5 EVM) before 2.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause an unspecified denial of service via a large number of forged client registration messages.
Secure Elements Class 5 AVR server and client (aka C5 EVM) before 2.8.1 send messages in cleartext, which allows remote attackers to read sensitive vulnerability information.
The RedCarpet command-line client (rug) does not verify SSL certificates from a server, which allows remote attackers to read network traffic and execute commands via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
vars.php in WordPress 2.0.2, possibly when running on Mac OS X, allows remote attackers to spoof their IP address via a PC_REMOTE_ADDR HTTP header, which vars.php uses to redefine $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].
17500	 CVE-2006-2700 Exec Code Sql Bypass 2006-05-31 2018-10-18
SQL injection vulnerability in admin/auth.inc.php in Geeklog 1.4.0sr2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands and bypass authentication via the loginname parameter.

Minister Emma Hippolyte (third from right) on the cannabis tour in SVG
Cognizant of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) successful establishment of a brand known for research into plant-based medicine – a Saint Lucian government delegation visited SVG on Wednesday June, 8 to conduct a tour of several cannabis establishments.
The tour was identified as a 'fact-finding' mission that will enable Saint Lucia to make inroads with its prospects for getting involved in the lucrative cannabis industry.
The Saint Lucian contingent met with SVG's Agriculture Minister Saboto Caesar and other staff members from the ministry of staff and the Medicinal Cannabis Authority.
Minister Caesar noted that, "We are prepared to share information with our brothers and sisters in Saint Lucia as we work to build a world-class medical cannabis platform in the sub-region."
He added: "St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a technopole for plant based research in the 21st Century. We have successfully established a brand in the Western Hemisphere as a prime destination for research in plant-based medicine inclusive of cannabis. This new era is expected to attract investors interested in funding researchers, with the ultimate goal – the improvement of global healthcare for humanity".
Saint Lucia's Commerce Minister and Chairperson of the Cannabis Task Force, Emma Hippolyte, noted that the fact finding mission seeks to draw on best practices globally so as to best inform the path that the Saint Lucia industry will take.
The Minister was accompanied by Deputy Chairperson Dylan Norbert Inglis and PRO Verne Emmanuel.
