The Ghearufu is an evil magical device that consists of a white glove, a black glove, and a small, gold trimmed mirror which is worn around the neck. It was created in the lower planes many millennia ago. An assassin named Ghost wore the item in the book Night Masks of The Cleric Quintet written by Robert Anthony Salvatore, the item allows the wearer to switch bodies at will, even across great distances. The effects can only be resisted by those of powerful minds and most victims are quickly overwhelmed. The destruction of the Ghearufu can only be achieved by having a dragon burn it with its breath.
In The Fallen Fortress, the Fourth book in The Cleric Quintet Cadderly Bonaduce took the Ghearufu high into the Snowflake Mountains to Nightglow peak. There lay Fyrentennimar, a great wyrm Red Dragon many millennia old. Cadderly befriended the dragon through magical means and had it loose its mighty, fiery breath to destroy the Ghearufu forever.

Internet Rounds was first described by Redmond Burke, MD in the journal Seminars of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery in 2004 as a way for physicians to perform patient rounds from anywhere at anytime via the Internet.
"Physicians traditionally use various forms of rounds to learn about their patients and exchange information - teaching rounds, work rounds, card rounds etc - the goal being to enhance patient care. After developing a Web based electronic medical record for our patients, it was an intuitive step to begin rounding on our patients over the WWW, not as a replacement of bedside rounds, because we still wanted to touch our patients every day, but as a way to stay in touch when we were away from the hospital. This became rounds for the digital age - "Internet Rounds". Redmond Burke MD, 2004
In the hospital environment, particularly in an Intensive Care Unit, physicians make a series of regularly scheduled professional calls on their patients, often referred to as "rounds". During the rounding process the doctor will review the patient’s status and develop a treatment strategy. Using a web based electronic medical record enables physicians to round on patients over the World-Wide-Web, via a secure connection to hospital information systems - including laboratory values, x-rays, bedside monitors and patient images.
"We were stunned to see that our colleagues naturally adopted Internet Rounds, and made it a daily part of their care, logging in for internet rounds at all hours of the day and night, from remote locations around the world, with a wide variety of Web enabled devices" Jeffrey A White, 2004
A rounding physician is required to generate a medical record documenting his or her assessment and plan to be included in the patient’s chart. The resulting document is referred to as a progress note and is generated by the physician or an assistant for each patient encounter. Progress note format varies per physician or practice and is generally written in the format of a SOAP note (an acronym for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan).
Documenting patient encounters in the medical record is an integral part of medical practice workflow. The information contained within the progress note is essential to the healthcare process and is used by the hospital for medical, legal, and billing purposes. The accuracy, completeness, and legibility of the note ultimately determines the ability to communicate patient progress as well as the hospital’s reimbursement on professional services.
The first practical application of internet rounds was developed by Teges Corporation in 2001 and is now currently marketed under the name i-Rounds®.

The Police Inspector Blog is the most widely read police blog in the UK. With a readership nearing one million since 2006, the blog publishes a diverse range of diary entries from a UK police Inspector (US police Lieutenant) from a rural force in England. The blog has received widespread and positive reviews in the UK national media.
The author, who remains anonymous to protect himself from action by the police internal affairs department, has raised awareness and supported a number of causes related to injured police officers, poor sentencing decisions after murder convictions and the slide into political correctness which has prevented British police officers from being effective crime fighters.
Using the nom de plume Inspector Gadget, the author hosts a wide ranging discussion network via the comments section on the Blog for UK police officers and others to raise issues and question government interference in the criminal justice system.
The independent publishers Monday Books have the publishing rights to any printed material in the UK and Europe, with the first book due in 2008. With the departure of PC David Copperfield to Canada and the effective end of the widely read Coppers Blog, the Police Inspector Blog now maintains it's position as the number one internet based social networking and political comment Blog about law and order in the UK.

Samantha Bell (b. 1990) is a young, Yorkshire based playwright, poet and novelist.
Her first play, which was co-written with John May, debuted at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough on the 21 December 2007. The play was highly commended by Sir Alan Ayckbourn being described as a "gothic", "psychological thriller, "Agatha Christie like in twists" and commented that "the two authors have clearly a good ear for vocal pattern and establishment of a character through speech."
Samantha has had many poems published and has written articles for Wingbeat, a teenagers magazine produced by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and has written many short and long stories.
Samantha attends a Grammar school in Yorkshire, and is currently doing her A Levels. Aside from drama, her hobbies include music (both listening to and performing) and literature.
Samantha is now said to be back working with John May on their second play, which is scheduled for release and performance later this year. They are also currently working on an adaptation of Sir Alan Ayckbourn's play Absurd Person Singular, after discovering his work thanks to his gratuitous reception of theirs.
