Here be monsters.

چکیده
It seems that my knowledge of old maps is not as good as I believed. I had thought that in the past when there were lands or seas still to be mapped the explorers often created myths and legends by writing 'here be monsters' on the charts of the time. This would warn other adventurers away from these areas as they were full of unknown dangers and remained uncharted. It appears that the term actually used was 'here be dragons'. Dragons or monsters, the metaphor still works and the recent conferences held at Aston University pointed to both charted and uncharted areas in the nursing care of older people.
