DMU Library has begun to explore the potential implementation of a "Discovery System". A Discovery System is software which "ideally" joins together different silos of library content & information (library catalogue, eJournals A-Z List/link resolver software, institutional repository etc) & allow library users to search across this content from one search box (a la Google).
The library will be exploring what it would want in a Discovery System, & the key issues/factors involved in the choice of Discovery System & provider. There are a number of systems available & established on the market. With this in mind, I think some of the key themes would be (in no order of relevance or priority):
- "Findability" of library online resources – linking to third-party resources, potential for publisher bias or exclusivity towards content?
- Accessibility to resources – seamless links/authentication to library systems (via DMU Single Sign On).
- Metadata quality & retrieval (system knowledgebase) – MARC/catalogue records, correct & up-to-date journal titles lists.
- Provider support – level of customer service offered during implementation & aftercare.
- Compatibility/interoperability with other library systems (DMU Library catalogue, Find it @DMU service, DORA, ExamNet etc).
- Value for money (VfM)/Return on investment (ROI) – ongoing system cost.
- Flexibility of system – can the library make changes as the system develops?
- User personalisation of system – potential links to Blackboard, myDMU, social media.
- Promotion of system to library staff/library users & stakeholders
To be continued…

DCU News and Notes
*MF-D Devon McTavish (sprained foot-ankle) and MF Fred (bruised quadriceps) worked out on the side and did not participate in regular workouts. MF-D Domenic Mediate (hamstring) remains out.
"I feel much better," Fred said, adding that he thinks he'll be ready for Sunday's match at Colorado.
Coach Tom Soehn believes Fred will be set for Sunday, but wasn't sure at this point whether McTavish or Mediate will be available.
*Who wins goal of the week: Marcelo Gallardo or Amado Guevara? You decide. Tough call. Guevara's shot was spectacular, but Gallardo's degree of difficulty -- it's always harder to strike a moving ball -- was higher. Thoughts?
*The tug of war between New York and Chicago over defender Lider Marmol is finally over as the Paraguayan defender signed with the Fire. He is awaiting his visa. Terms were not disclosed.
Marmol last played with Hercules CF in Spain's second division in the latter stages of the 2007 season. Marmol, 22, signed with Hercules during that season's December transfer window and had an immediate impact in the center of the team's defense. He started 11 matches and scored one goal. Prior to the 2007-2008 campaign, Marmol (6 feet 1, 195 pounds) was invited for preseason tryouts with English sides Coventry City FC and Reading FC.

Donald Scott "Don" Drysdale (July 23, 1936 – July 3, 1993) was an American professional baseball player and television sports commentator. He played as a right-handed pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers for his entire career in Major League Baseball. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1984, Drysdale was one of the most dominant pitchers of the late 1950s and early to mid 1960s.[1] Standing 6'5" tall, he was an intimidating presence on the pitcher's mound and, wasn't afraid to throw pitches close to batters in order to keep them off balance.[1] Drysdale won the 1962 Cy Young Award and is known for setting a Major League Baseball record by pitching 58 2⁄3 consecutive scoreless innings in 1968.[1][2] After his playing career, he became a radio and television broadcaster.[3]
Early life
Drysdale was born in Van Nuys, Los Angeles and attended Van Nuys High School, where one of his classmates was actor Robert Redford.[4]
Playing career
|Donald Drysdale's number 53 was retired by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1984.
Pitching for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers, he teamed with Sandy Koufax during the late 1950s and early and middle 1960s to form one of the most dominating pitching duos in history. Nicknamed "Big D" by fans, Drysdale used brushback pitches and a sidearm fastball to intimidate batters,[3] similar to his fierce fellow Hall of Famer Bob Gibson. His 154 hit batsmen remains a modern National League record.
Drysdale was also a good hitter for a pitcher. In 14 seasons, he had 218 hits, including 29 home runs, and was occasionally used as a pinch-hitter, once even during the World Series.[5]
In 1962, Drysdale won 25 games and the Cy Young Award. In 1963, he struck out 251 batters and won Game 3 of the World Series at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium over the Yankees, 1–0. In 1965, he was the Dodgers' only .300 hitter and tied his own National League record for pitchers with seven home runs. That year, he also won 23 games and helped the Dodgers to their third World Championship in Los Angeles. In 1968, he set Major League records with six consecutive shutouts and 58 2⁄3 consecutive scoreless innings; the latter record was broken by fellow Dodger Orel Hershiser 20 years later. He ended his career with 209 wins, 2,486 strikeouts, 167 complete games and 49 shutouts. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984, and had his number 53 retired at Dodger Stadium on July 1, 1984. He was also the last player on the Dodgers who had played for Brooklyn.
He won three NL Player of the Month awards: June 1959 (6-0 record, 1.71 earned run average, 51 strikeouts), July 1960 (6-0 record, 2.00 earned run average, 48 strikeouts), and May 1968 (5-1 record, 0.53 earned run average, 45 strikeouts, with 5 consecutive shutouts to begin his scoreless inning streak, which was carried into June).
In 1965, Sandy Koufax declined to pitch the first game of the World Series because it was on Yom Kippur, a Jewish holy day. Drysdale pitched for the Dodgers instead of Koufax, and gave up seven runs in 2 2/3 innings. When Walter Alston, the manager, came to the mound to remove him from the game, Drysdale said, "I bet right now you wish I was Jewish, too." The Dodgers lost to the Minnesota Twins, 8-2.
Drysdale and Koufax took part in a famous salary holdout together in the spring of 1966, with both finally signing contracts just before the season opened. Those contracts made them the first pitchers to earn more than $100,000 a year.[3] This holdout was the beginning of collective bargaining in baseball.
Broadcasting career
A chronically sore shoulder forced Drysdale to retire during the 1969 season. The next year he started a broadcasting career that continued for the rest of his life: first for the Montreal Expos (1970–1971), then the Texas Rangers (1972), California Angels (1973–1979, 1981), Chicago White Sox (1982–1987), NBC (1977), ABC (1978[6]–1986), and finally back in Los Angeles with the Dodgers (from 1988 until his death in 1993). He also worked with his Angels' partner Dick Enberg on Los Angeles Rams football broadcasts from 1973–1976.
While at ABC Sports, Drysdale not only did baseball telecasts, but also Superstars and Wide World of Sports. In 1979, Drysdale covered the World Series Trophy presentation ceremonies for ABC. On October 11, 1980, Keith Jackson called an Oklahoma–Texas college football game for ABC in the afternoon, then flew to Houston to call Game 4 of the NLCS between the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies. In the meantime, Drysdale filled in for Jackson on play-by-play for the early innings.
In 1984, Drysdale called play-by-play (alongside Reggie Jackson and Earl Weaver) for the National League Championship Series between the San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs. On October 6, 1984 at San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium, Game 4 of the NLCS ended when Padres first baseman Steve Garvey hit a two run home run off Lee Smith. Drysdale on the call:
|Deep right field, way back. Cotto going back to the wall...it's gone! Home run Garvey! And there will be tomorrow!
The Padres, who rallied from a 2–0 deficit in the best-of-five series against the Cubs won the decisive Game 5 the next day (thus, winning their first ever National League pennant).
In his last ABC assignment, Drysdale interviewed the winners in the Boston Red Sox's clubhouse following Game 7 of the 1986 American League Championship Series against the California Angels.
While broadcasting for the White Sox, Drysdale generated some controversy while covering a heated argument between an umpire and Sox manager Tony La Russa. LaRussa pulled up the third base bag and hurled it into the outfield, to the approval of the Comiskey Park crowd, and ensuring his ejection. Drysdale remarked, "Go get 'em, Dago!"
For the Sox, Drysdale broadcast Tom Seaver's 300th victory, against the host New York Yankees in 1985. His post-game interview with Seaver was carried live by both the Sox' network and the Yankees' longtime flagship television station WPIX.
Drysdale hosted a nationally syndicated radio show called Radio Baseball Cards. 162 episodes were produced with stories and anecdotes told by current and former Major League Baseball players. The highlight of the series were numerous episodes dedicated to the memory and impact of Jackie Robinson as told by teammates, opponents and admirers. Radio Baseball Cards aired on 38 stations, including WNBC New York, KSFO San Francisco and WEEI Boston, as a pre-game show. A collector's edition of the program was re-released in 2007 as a podcast.[7]
Drysdale conducted all of the National League player interviews for the Baseball Talk series in 1988 (Joe Torre did the same for the American League).
On September 28, 1988, fellow Dodger Orel Hershiser surpassed Drysdale when Hershiser finished the season with a record 59 consecutive scoreless innings pitched. In his final start of the year, Hershiser needed to pitch 10 shutout innings to set the mark – meaning not only that he would have to prevent the San Diego Padres from scoring, but that his own team would also need to fail to score in order to ensure extra innings. The Dodgers' anemic offense obliged, and Hershiser pitched the first 10 innings of a scoreless tie, with the Padres eventually prevailing 2–1 in 16 innings. Hershiser almost did not pitch in the 10th inning, in deference to Drysdale, but was convinced to take the mound and try to break the record. When Hershiser broke Drysdale's record, Drysdale went to hug him, and said, "Oh, I'll tell ya, congratulations... And at least you kept it in the family."[citation needed]
Drysdale also called Kirk Gibson's walk-off home run in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series[8] for the Dodgers Radio Network:
|Well, the crowd is on its feet and if there was ever a preface to 'Casey at the Bat' it would have to be the ninth inning. Two out. The tying run aboard, the winning run at the plate, and Kirk Gibson, standing at the plate. Eckersley working out of the stretch, here's the three-two pitch...and a drive hit to right field (losing voice) WAY BACK! THIS BALL IS GONE! (After 2 minutes of crowd noise) This crowd will not stop! They can't believe the ending! And this time, Mighty Casey did NOT strike out!!!!
Personal life
Drysdale married Ginger Dubberly in 1958, with whom he had a daughter, Kelly. They divorced in 1982. On November 1, 1986, he married basketball player Ann Meyers, who took the name Ann Meyers-Drysdale. Drysdale and Meyers had three children together: Don Junior ("DJ") (son), Darren (son), and Drew (daughter). In 1990, Drysdale published his autobiography, Once a Bum, Always a Dodger.
Drysdale was 56 when he died of an heart attack in room 2518 of Le Centre Sheraton in Montreal, Quebec, on July 3, 1993.[3][9] Radio station employees were sent to look for him when he didn't appear for the bus ride to Olympic Stadium, where the Dodgers were scheduled to play the Montreal Expos. Hotel staff entered his room and found him face down, near his bed. The coroner estimated that he had been dead for 18 hours.
Drysdale's broadcasting colleague Vin Scully, who was instructed not to say anything on the air until Drysdale's family was notified, announced the news of his death by saying, "Never have I been asked to make an announcement that hurts me as much as this one. And I say it to you as best I can with a broken heart."[10] Fellow broadcaster Ross Porter told his radio audience, "I just don't believe it, folks." Drysdale was replaced by Rick Monday in the broadcast booth.
Among the personal belongings found in Drysdale's hotel room was a cassette tape of Robert F. Kennedy's victory speech after the 1968 California Democratic presidential primary, a speech given only moments before Senator Kennedy's assassination. In the speech, Kennedy had noted, to the cheers of the crowd, that Drysdale had pitched his sixth straight shutout that evening. Drysdale had apparently carried the tape with him wherever he went since Kennedy's murder.[11]
Drysdale's body was cremated at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.
Drysdale was a popular guest star in several television programs:
- The Beverly Hillbillies: The Clampetts & The Dodgers. Don Drysdale & Leo Durocher are guest stars in this episode when Jed & Jethro play golf with the Dodgers and Leo Durocher finds out Jed & Jethro are good baseball prospects. April 10, 1963.
- The Greatest American Hero (episode "The Two Hundred Mile an Hour Fastball", which was first broadcast on November 4, 1981 as a broadcaster for the California Stars.[12]
- The Brady Bunch episode "The Dropout", which was first broadcast on September 25, 1970.
- Our Man Higgins episode "Who's on First?" (May 8, 1963).
- The Donna Reed Show episodes "The Man in the Mask", first broadcast in 1962; "All Those Dreams", first broadcast in 1963; and "Play Ball" and "My Son the Catcher", both first broadcast in 1964. In all four episodes Drysdale played himself, and in "All Those Dreams" he appeared with first wife, Ginger, and daughter Kelly.
- Leave It to Beaver episode "Long Distance Call", which was first broadcast on June 16, 1962.[13]
- The Rifleman episode "Skull", which was first broadcast on January 1, 1962.
- The Millionaire episode "Millionaire Larry Maxwell", which was first broadcast on March 1, 1960.
- With his first wife, Ginger, on February 26, 1959 edition of You Bet Your Life with host Groucho Marx.[14] The episode was released on the 2006 DVD "Groucho Marx: You Bet Your Life – 14 Classic Episodes".
- In 1959, Drysdale appeared as a mystery challenger on the TV panel show To Tell the Truth.
- The Flying Nun episode "The Big Game", 1st episode of the 3rd season, aired September 17, 1969.[15]
The number "53" used for Disney's Herbie the Love Bug was inspired by Drysdale.[16]
Drysdale also appeared as himself (pitching) in the 1962 thriller, Experiment in Terror starring Glenn Ford & Lee Remick. Teenager, Stefanie Powers played a credible role as the kidnapped sister, "Toby." And Ross Martin is superbly frightening as the asthmatic kidnapper, "Red" Lynch.

I've been meaning to write a post about my beloved books. In the last four years I've really found a facination for books. Before that I may have read (cover to cover) two books in my entire life – even at school I avoided them.
Now days, however, I have to hold myself back (buying new books) – unless the deal (usually Amazon) is too hard to ignore. And of course Amazon doesn't help that cause either. Their retail marketing precision is faultless. I get my weekly Amazon email with recommended books – a must-read email. The ease-of-purchase process is within touching distance – the one-click purchase option.
So I decided to take a look at my books and hightlight the 5 I thought have most influenced me and my career (and my life in some ways):
1. Communicating Design
Dan Brown
2. Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide
Amy Sheun
3. Purple Cow
Seth Godin
4. Don't make me think
Steve Krug
5. The Principles of Beautiful Web Design

Trump pulling U.S. out of Paris climate deal: sources
Informed sources tell Reuters that U.S. President Donald Trump will follow through on a campaign pledge to pull the United States out of a global pact to fight climate change, a move that should rally his support base at home while deepening a rift with U.S. allies. Jillian Kitchener has more.
U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly pulling out of the Paris Climate deal -- the first agreement to bind all nations to setting goals to curb carbon emissions. This, after refusing to endorse the deal at the G7 summit over the weekend. …Despite being nudged by other leaders like Germany's Angela Merkel. And protesters who demanded leaders do MORE to pressure Trump. The president has previously called global warming a hoax. United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres says it's anything but. (SOUNDBITE) UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY GENERAL ANTONIO GUTERRES, SAYING: "The effects of climate change are already being felt around the world and they are dangerous and they are accelerating." Guterres says he intends to convene a climate summit in 2019 to review implementation of the global climate deal. But it appears that the United States, the world's second largest emitter of greenhouse gases, will not be part of it.

No, I am not insane. The markets are in free-fall, crash mode, whatever term you want to use. Fear reigns supreme as everyone is talking about another recession, depression, etc. Hedge funds are collapsing as we speak. So what is the trade? It is quite simple: buy. That's right you want to be a buyer of top quality tobacco stocks and MLPs which do not have any commodity price risk. I have also decided to sell volatility (through a call spread) at around 40. Placing a trade like this makes me want to vomit, but historically this is a high probability trade.
During a market crash--which we are experiencing, everything falls regardless of fundamentals. This represents an opportunity for the few smart investors.
Stocks I am buying:
Nustar Energy--stable toll like revenue with a 7% plus yield. So if this is such a great stock, why is it falling so much? Because this is a favorite of hedge funds who like the postive carry. They borrow from their prime broker at 50 bps (if that) and buy Nustar and other MLPS which yield 6-8%. When there is a market crash, these hedge funds are forced to liquidate to meet margin calls.
Altria(MO)--this company sells an addictive product. People have to have their nicotine fix, regardless of economics. Even if you think we are entering a depression, this is still a good stock. They have complete pricing power and control 50% of the market. Current yield 6%.
Gold (GLD)--Over 50% of my portfolio remains in gold (see here). I will not be selling despite the huge move in gold.
Good luck.

I am a very open-minded web developer who grew up in a mixed-openness family.
I was raised to accept every other Catholic on the planet, regardless of gender, race, language, ethnicity or customs.
My family notably co-sponsored a Vietnamese family who wanted to flee communism and settled in Canada.
I was taught to fight racism, to accept people of all colors or origin.
Provided they were Catholic…
As I grew up, I decided to simply accept everyone as they are, provided they respect others.
This translated in my mind into fighting discrimination, into protecting weaker people.
My company always had clear rules of inclusion (notably hiring a trans-gendered lesbian woman on welfare a few years ago) and we have worked with clients all over the world (over 32 countries) and from multiple faiths, creed or culture.
When I was at McGill University, I was one of the few white Christian students willing to fully work with minorities, including Muslims, Jews, Blacks (we don't usually say African-Canadian) and even with an Hindu student!
When I discovered the Safety Pin protest, I didn't decide to suddenly fight discrimination and provide a safe space around me.
I realized this is what I had been doing for years!

Terrified dog stranded on rock wall rescued by contractors working nearby
A rock wall is not a good place for dogs to navigate.
An adventurous runaway canine ended up needing rescue after trying to climb down one such tall formation in Virginia, Minnesota.
SEE ALSO: You have to see this baby and dog dancing together
After hearing the sounds of rocks falling, the contractors working on the Hwy 53 bridge project noticed the dog stranded in a precarious situation roughly halfway down the wall. A Facebook post by the Minnesota Department of Transportation notes, "The 12-year-old retriever...got herself stuck behind the rock netting. Luckily, the contractors spotted her and were able to quickly get her down with the help of a man lift."
Fortunately, the dog had an ID tag containing a phone number and within about 30 minutes, she was happily reunited with her human family.

One of the many ideas I took out of that visit were the use of Rekenreks, especially in the younger grades. Rekenreks are a tool to facilitate number sense in students. The activities are endless with this one tool. I wanted to get the staff in my building on board with using these, so for one of our Learning Teams meetings that I was facilitating with Grades K and 1, we made a set of student rekenreks.
Materials: Cardstock, laminating sheets, hole puncher, pony beads in various colors, pipe cleaners, packing tape
I laminated pieces of cardstock and cut them into 4 rectangles. Then, I poked holes in where the pipe cleaners would be threaded through.
To get the beads ready, each pipe cleaner needed 10 beads (2 sets of 5 in different colors). Pipe cleaners were then threaded through the holes in the cardstock, and then secured with packing tape.
Teachers went away with a set of 10 student rekenreks from this meeting. My goal for this coming school year is to front load the teachers with activities that can be used with the rekenreks they created.
At the beginning of the summer, I attended the Foxborough Public Schools Summer Institute and signed up for the rekenreks session to build my knowledge on this particular manipulative. Within that session, another type of rekenrek was used, and I've already made myself a set of student ones:
My daughter, Madison, got in on the fun and threaded these beads with me! These bead laces are made with 100 beads. And similar to the two-row rekenreks, the activities are endless. I'll post a list of activities for both these manipulatives soon!!

Few things can be as overwhelming and frustrating as mental illness – or finding effective treatments. At Skyland Trail, we get it. Which is why we take a different approach to helping adults with mental health issues.
Located in Atlanta, Skyland Trail is a nationally recognized nonprofit mental health treatment organization serving adults ages 18 and older.
We're not a hospital or lock-down institution, we're one of the nation's top mental health treatment centers – a voluntary treatment community of clients finding new ways to overcome the limitations of their illness and reclaim their lives.
But success is built on a two-way commitment – we're committed to our patients and we ask our patients to commit to our approach. Each client has to put in the time and effort needed to make real and sustainable progress.
As a long-term residential treatment facility, we're serious about healing and we're passionate about the community we serve.
Contact Admissions
In this video, graduates and clients share their experiences before, during and after treatment at Skyland Trail.
Watch Video
As one of the best mental health treatment centers in the country, we're focused on people with complex mental health issues, helping them understand that they are more than their diagnoses dictate – helping them grow, recover and reclaim their lives.
We treat adults ages 18 and older with a primary psychiatric diagnosis - a mood or thought disorder like bipolar illness, major depression, or schizophrenia, or an anxiety disorder. Most clients have co-occurring diagnoses including alcohol or substance abuse, borderline personality disorder, or secondary anxiety disorders.
Because of our onsite primary care clinic, we can support those who have medical health needs in addition to psychiatric needs.
While our clients are largely from Georgia and the southeast we have many clients from across the U.S. and a few from around the world.
Admissions Criteria
We treat adults ages 18 and older with a primary psychiatric diagnosis. In 2016, more than 72% of clients had 3 or more co-occurring diagnoses – including anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, and personality disorders – in addition to a mood or thought disorder.
2016 Outcomes Report
Many clients enter our residential psychiatric treatment program after leaving a hospital or other acute facility. On average, our clients complete our treatment program in four to six months and then return to the community to live independently.
We offer a unique continuum of care with deliberate step-downs and reintegration points. Clients begin in our residential treatment or day treatment program. Our longer length of stay allows clients to gradually move through our levels of care as their symptoms and skills improve.
Residential Treatment
Day Treatment
We treat each individual, individually, tailoring an approach that includes a broad mix of evidence-based one-on-one and group therapies that help prepare our clients for reintegration into their lives.
Our holistic treatment model integrates strategies to help clients improve mental health, physical wellness, and relationships with family and friends.
Evidence-based treatment model
Watch these video interviews with Skyland Trail art, music, and nature therapy experts to learn more about how these unique programs help clients achieve recovery.
Art Therapy
Skyland Trail began with the determination of Atlanta business leader Charles B. West. Through a friend's experience, he learned of a void in mental illness treatment. In the early 1980s the dominant treatment model in Atlanta was hospitalization. There were no residential psychiatric treatment programs with the goal of reintegrating back into the community.
Nearing retirement from the family business, West Lumber Company, he turned his energies to the new cause, and in 1982 he established The George West Mental Health Foundation, named for his father. He recruited a committed board of directors, and they studied programs and innovations across the nation that looked beyond short-term stabilization to long-term recovery. The first facility opened in 1989, a treatment residence called Skyland Trail, and this name quickly became the foundation's identity.
Our History
Skyland Trail is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, EIN 58-1489941.

The ZX Spectrum Next has now hit Kickstarter
The ZX Spectrum Next has now hit Kickstarter
Published: 23rd April 2017 | Source: Kickstarter |
The ZX Spectrum Next has now hit Kickstarter
- - Processor: Z80 3.5Mhz and 7Mhz modes
- - Memory: 512Kb RAM (expandable to 1.5Mb internally and 2.5Mb externally)
- - Video: Hardware sprites, 256 colours mode, Timex 8x1 mode etc.
- - Video Output: RGB, VGA, HDMI
- - Storage: SD Card slot, with DivMMC-compatible protocol
- - Audio: 3x AY-3-8912 audio chips with stereo output + FM sound
- - Joystick: DB9 compatible with Cursor, Kempston and Interface 2 protocols (selectable)
- - PS/2 port: Mouse with Kempston mode emulation and an external keyboard
- - Special: Multiface functionality for memory access, savegames, cheats etc.
- - Tape support: Mic and Ear ports for tape loading and saving
- - Expansion: Original external bus expansion port and accelerator expansion port
- - Accelerator board (optional): GPU / 1Ghz CPU / 512Mb RAM (Raspberry Pi Zero)
- - Network (optional): Wi Fi module
- - Extras: Real Time Clock (optional), internal speaker (optional)
As you can see above this new hardware offers some key upgrades, adding support for HDMI displays, SD memory cards and WiFi while also supporting original expansion hardware and tape-based memory.
The motherboard of the ZX Spectrum Next also comes ready for memory expansion, allowing the unit to be upgraded to include up to 1.5Mb or memory.
This unit can also be upgraded with a Raspberry Pi Zero, which allows the Spectrum Next to use it as a slave co-processor. This will allow the Spectrum to use the Pi Zero's memory, CPU and GPU to do its bidding, opening a lot of interesting possibilities to developers.
With the price tag of ZX Spectrum Next being £175 and its ageing hardware specifications, it is clear that this unit is not designed to compete with modern systems like the Raspberry Pi 3 or ASUS Tinker Board.
The ZX Spectrum Next is designed for the community who still works with original Speccy hardware regularly and would love to try something that will take their Spectrum experience to the next level. Today games are still released for the Spectrum and there is still a large number of people who work with the system regularly and do not want to use hardware emulation to relive the spectrum experience.
Right now the ZX Spectrum Next is available to back on Kickstarter for £175, with a "just the board" version coming in at £99.
You can join the discussion on the ZX Spectrum next on the OC3D Forums.

A Bloody good Mayor
Given all the problems with the crazy cat lady down in Invercargill at the moment, maybe Tim Shadbolt could learn a thing or too from a Melbourne Mayor??Fiona McAllister who imposed a 24 hour cat ban with the Yarra Ranges councils zone.
A few people were rather upset though as you'd expect, but if every other animal is required to be contained then why not cats? Why should someone else put with someone elses pet on their property?
A Melbourne council's decision to ban roaming cats from its streets has been met with a fierce backlash, pet owners branding the decision "cruel" and "unjust".
The Yarra Ranges council last week voted for a new policy to require cats to be confined to their owners' property at all times. The move was supported in a 234-person online poll.
But since the announcement hundreds of other residents have complained they were not consulted and have dubbed the council "a bunch of cat-haters".
A change.org petition calling for the permanent curfew to be abolished has received almost 900 signatures in four days, dwarfing the council's original poll. Montrose video producer Peter Brewer began the campaign after reading about the curfew for the first time in The Age.
Before the vote, proposed changes to cat and dog regulations were advertised on the council's website, community newspaper, social media and articles in the local paper.
But Mr Brewer said it was clear the message had not been received by many. He said it was ridiculous a law could be introduced after a poll of 234 people, in a municipality of 145,000.
His two cats are allowed to wander during the day, wearing their bells and a collar, before they are locked inside at night. "I don't know how we are going to keep cats inside that have been outside all their life," Mr Brewer said.
The council's planning, building and health director, Andrew Paxton, said since the vote 40 letters opposing the curfew and 14 letters supporting the policy had been received.
It is also understood one councillor has since written to the change.org petition saying they did not support the curfew, but believed the council was committed to it and "won't abolish it soon".
In the meantime angry residents, including Nathan Rees, have taken to the council's Facebook page telling the council to "get a grip". "Good luck with the 24-hour cat prison," Mr Rees wrote. "How about I lock up your children in my laundry all day?"
Cat owner Sandy Lee is concerned cats could be abandoned as the result of the policy and complained about the cost of installing outdoor enclosures.
"As a renter, we can't just install outside enclosures, apart from the fact that it costs thousands people like me don't have," she said.
Oh well, who's problem is that? Get rid of the cat, problem solved.
Montrose retiree Ray Huxley is upset he did not get to have his say before the policy was passed. His family had adopted an "interloper" cat who likes to wander outside.
The council said there would be no financial assistance to help low-income residents construct outdoor enclosures.
"However, some cat owners have been successfully confining their cats to their properties without enclosures," Mr Paxton said. – The Age Victoria
Pity we don't impose the same thing here and punish those people that think it is their god given right to own dozens of cats roaming the neighbourhood squirting and crapping everywhere.

Saturday, June 6, 2015 | The Peterborough Examiner
This past Tuesday, I attended an information session for people with disabilities held at the library hosted by the Every Canadian Counts (ECC) coalition. I would like to share this information.
The goal of this group is to implement a national program for people with disabilities, including those with mental illness, similar to the one that Australia is now in the process of implementing.
To put it in a nutshell, with this national program a family with a person with a disability could move anywhere else in Canada and not have to start all over again. No more paperwork. No more waiting. Also the federal government would not distribute funds for social services throughout Canada unless they all meet a set standard of specific requirements.
For example, housing and personal care. So a person with a disability could move out of the province to a new province and, for example, receive a specific assistance they had already been receiving.
I invite people to go to ECC's website www.everycanadiancounts.com. If people would like to see this national program come about, there is a petition for them to sign. Also, ECC is looking for life stories so as to pass on to the government. That website is www.realpeoplecampaign.com. – Submitted by Tamara Mann
