There are, however, accounts from people who lived as far back as the 1940s who say this game and with the name “Chinese Fire Drill” was around back then. The first documented reference to this game, with the name “Chinese Fire Drill”, is from the early 1970s. In terms of the car game, where everyone jumps out of the car like the car is on fire when it is at a stop then runs around chaotically and then hops back in, it is unknown when and where exactly this game became common. Thus, around the time of World War I, any fire drill that was done in a disorganized or confused manner was called a “Chinese Fire Drill” by British soldiers. The origins of this are thought to be from the stark contrast between British and Chinese cultures where the British viewed many things the Chinese did as confusing and hard to understand from their cultural perspective. This phrasing also came to mean anything done in a confused or disorganized way. Eventually, this spread to other phrases where anything done clumsily or ineptly was called a “Chinese X” where X is whatever the act was. This later evolved into describing any clumsy or inept landing. When said quickly, this somewhat resembled the Chinese language in sound to the British soldiers, hence, “Chinese Landing”. ![]() It should be noted that this wasn’t originally meant to imply Chinese citizens couldn’t land a plane well or anything of the sort rather, it came from the fact that, in a bad landing, the soldiers would often use the phrase “one wing low” to described this. In World War I, British soldiers came up with the phrase “Chinese Landing” to describe a clumsy or bad landing. Today I found out the origin of the Chinese Fire Drill.

![]() While its lack of direction for controlling the program was annoying, it wasn't enough to deter us from the spectacular graphics and options for the aquarium. Throughout the extensive Options menu we only found one vague command to set when the aquarium appears, and oddly, this was only when the computer was running on battery. While it seems like every opportunity was taken for users to control the tank, the designers neglected to give them as much control over when the screensaver operates. Users can choose between seven different aquariums, different fish, lighting, and can even feed the fish. The program's options are the highlight of the program once the menu is accessed. Up to six species of sea creatures (the trial limits the tank to six) move in realistic ways and look lifelike, whether they are brightly colored angelfish or crabs scurrying about on the sea floor. But the actual fish tank action is impressive. The program has a somewhat confusing interface that requires the user to right-click on the aquarium as it's running in order to access the Options menu.

In the shower, we've used the sculptural H2Okinetic In2ition 4-Setting Two-in-One Shower Head paired with the Trinsic® Monitor 17 Series H2Okinetic Tub & Shower Trim. This Champagne Bronze finish is warm yet crisp and shines against the white tiles. Right from the start, I knew that I wanted to use gold toned fixtures. The gorgeous shower and faucet fixtures are from Delta Faucet Canada's Trinsic® collection. I wanted the handles to match the faucet so I refinished them and I think they turned out pretty close. The vanity actually came with two full sets of handles, one in polished chrome and one in oil rubbed bronze. One modification I did make is using Rub N Buff Grecian Gold on the handles. We debated whether or not to attach the backsplash and I'm glad we did as it completes the finished look. The entire piece reads like a refined piece of furniture: it rests on elevated legs, it has soft-close drawers, and it has moulding on the door fronts. If you want a French style bathroom, you really need to incorporate marble somewhere! It ties in with the marble floor tiles and lends a sophistication and elegance to the bathroom. I really love the marble top that came with this vanity. He did such a great job and it looks like it was meant to be there all along. The chute is made of sheet metal and this wood frame slips on top, providing soft sides so that our clothes don't get caught. Sean cut a hole into the bottom of one side of the vanity and made a box and frame out of scrap wood. It has quickly become one of our favourite features in this house (who wants to lug laundry down two flights of stairs to the basement?!). I'm happy to say we were able to preserve and provide access to the existing laundry chute. Plus, we needed a vanity style to fit our one very special requirement: A single sink with more storage and counter space suited our lifestyle. We considered getting two sinks but we're not really the types to be getting ready in the bathroom at the same time. We replaced the old 48" vanity & tower with a single sink 60" vanity. The Home Depot Canada offers a wide variety of options online and we were able to get this one with marble top and French curves delivered right to our door. One major new element in this bathroom is the French style vanity. installing shelving, accessories, hooks, and hardwareĪnd let's not forget the things we didn't plan and ended up having to contend with, like the half wall of newly installed tile we had to rip out and redo when we discovered the wall had a bow in it:.adding a new window blind and shower curtain.adding a laundry chute hole to the vanity.replacing the single wall light with three lights.replacing all of the floor, wall, and shower tile.removing the whirlpool tub and replacing it with an alcove tub.We planned a down-to-the-studs renovation that involved: We've been in this house just over two years and it was time to give this bathroom some attention. At the start of this journey, we had a bathroom that was adequate yet dated. Before we jump into all the details, let's revisit how this bathroom used to look. ![]() The responsibilities of an APRN include, but are not limited to, providing invaluable primary and preventative health care to the public. Coordinate care, in collaboration with a wide array of health care professionalsĪdvance Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) hold at least a Master’s degree, in addition to the initial nursing education and licensing required for all RNs.Administer medications and other personalized interventions.Provide health promotion, counseling and education.Perform physical exams and health histories before making critical decisions.RNs provide critical health care to the public wherever it is needed. Registered nurses (RN) form the backbone of health care provision in the United States. In the United States today, nursing roles can be divided into three categories by the specific responsibilities they undertake. What types of nurses are there?Īll nurses complete a rigorous program of extensive education and study, and work directly with patients, families, and communities using the core values of the nursing process. Through long-term monitoring of patients’ behavior and knowledge-based expertise, nurses are best placed to take an all-encompassing view of a patient’s wellbeing. The key unifying characteristic in every role is the skill and drive that it takes to be a nurse. Responsibilities can range from making acute treatment decisions to providing inoculations in schools. In a field as varied as nursing, there is no typical answer. This ensures that every patient, from city hospital to community health center state prison to summer camp, receives the best possible care regardless of who they are, or where they may be. Through the critical thinking exemplified in the nursing process (see below), nurses use their judgment to integrate objective data with subjective experience of a patient’s biological, physical and behavioral needs. However, nursing has a unifying ethos: In assessing a patient, nurses do not just consider test results. ![]() Due to the vast range of specialisms and complex skills in the nursing profession, each nurse will have specific strengths, passions, and expertise. This is supported by the mind, in the form of rigorous core learning. At its heart, lies a fundamental respect for human dignity and an intuition for a patient’s needs. Nursing can be described as both an art and a science a heart and a mind. From ensuring the most accurate diagnoses to the ongoing education of the public about critical health issues nurses are indispensable in safeguarding public health. Across the entire patient experience, and wherever there is someone in need of care, nurses work tirelessly to identify and protect the needs of the individual.īeyond the time-honored reputation for compassion and dedication lies a highly specialized profession, which is constantly evolving to address the needs of society. 21 st Century nursing is the glue that holds a patient’s health care journey together. ![]() A Google engineer confirmed that Chrome 74 was affected by the issue on Apand that the majority of reports came from Windows users but that the issue existed on Mac devices as well.

So please don’t stop using your password manager just yet. There are solutions that amount to ‘putting the information under the rug’ but any attacker sufficiently sophisticated enough to remotely take control of the user’s device would go around these solutions very easily.” Once the operating system or device is compromised, an attacker will end up having access to anything on the device and there is no way to effectively prevent it. Schalit says Dashlane is working on improving over the long term and adds: “We respectfully disagree with the researcher’s claim that this can be truly fixed by Dashlane, or anyone for that matter. “This only applies to the data present in the memory of the device when Dashlane is being used by a person who has typed the master password.” Schalit is also keen to point out that data stored by Dashlane on the device is encrypted and cannot be read by an attacker even if they have full control. And he says: “This is not limited to Windows 10 but applies to any operating system and digital device connected to the internet.” ![]() “As long as people are not committing the cardinal sin of reusing passwords and can recognise password managers as a security measure rather than a vulnerability, we will all be far safer in no time.”Įmmanuel Schalit, CEO, Dashlane - one of the affected password managers - points out that the ISE findings cover “a very standard theoretical scenario in the world of security”. “Plus, if you attach an authenticator application, such as Authy or Google Authenticator, to the password, your accounts will remain far safer,” he advises. This is because setting up most managers requires two factor authentication on any new device, which “talks” to the server where the stored passwords are held.Īt the same time, he says, if you use a password manager on your smartphone, you will be far better protected as this attack focuses primarily on computer RAM. Stealing master passwords still may not be effective for hackers, says Jake Moore, cyber security expert at ESET. This would require either physical access or remote access into the victim’s machine. Meanwhile, terminate the process completely if you are using one of the affected password managers.Īnd how serious is it? For this attack to pay off, the hacker would need access to the RAM. ![]() It’s all well and good to call out problems with password managers, but what should you use instead? First, do not throw away your service just yet: even the ISE recommends that you keep using password managers, just follow a few simple steps.Ĭrucially, you should not leave a password manager running in the background, even in a locked state. Should you stop using your password manager? “Given the huge user base of people already using password managers, these vulnerabilities will entice hackers to target and steal data from these computers via malware attacks,” says ISE lead researcher, Adrian Bednarek. And once the master password is available to the attacker, they can decrypt the password manager database.Īs the ISE points out, this is no safer than storing it in a document or on the desktop something that certainly isn’t advised. Worryingly, the researchers found that in some circumstances, the master password was residing in the computer’s memory in a plain text readable format. You would, naturally, think the password manager was safe when locked, but it’s not, according to the ISE. The study looked at the underlying functionality of these products on Windows 10 to understand how users’ secrets are stored even when the password manager is locked.
