Lindisfarne, or Holy Island, is the site of one of the oldest and most important Christian centers in England, founded by St. Aidan in 635. It was also the home of St. Cuthbert, who was active here later in the 600's. Like many similar sites, it was destroyed by the Vikings around 800, and later rebuilt in the 12th century. The ruins seen here are of that 12th century priory; nothing remains of the earlier Celtic period.

DAF and Ozone Eliminate Quality Woes, Meet New Regs
Water Treatment and Disinfection
When a town meeting in New Castle, New York, prompted local government officials to take citizen complaints about water quality seriously, they initiated a lengthy multi-step project to fix the problems. They could not have known then, in the early '80s, that their decision to proceed was timely. The water system improvement program they embarked upon anticipated some of the key regulatory requirements put in place years later, and solved problems of quality and quantity that arose as a result of the growth and development of the town and its surroundings.
The citizen complaints were about cloudy water, brown water, water with an unpleasant taste and an odor that wasn't too good either. Now New Castle's supply is treated in the up-to-date Millwood plant, which can handle the variable incoming raw water quality that seasonal fluctuations produce, and deliver a finished product which meets current and expected regulatory limits.
Developed about 60 years ago, the town's water supply was obtained from New York City's Catskill Aqueduct through an aqueduct connection and a pumping station. Later, in the '50s, a second source was tapped-the City's Croton Aqueduct. The water from each was disinfected with chlorine but no filtration was carried out.
Then came the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, and the Amendments to it in 1986. The Amendments called for the USEPA to develop national primary drinking water regulations. This led to the 1989 Surface Water Treatment Rule, which said surface supplies should be filtered. These supplies, such as the New York City aqueduct system water delivered to New Castle, are subject to, for instance, contamination by animals and birds. Of particular concern are Cryptosporidia, Giardia lamblia, Legionella, viruses, and certain bacteria.
For the last four decades the New York-based engineering firm of Hazen and Sawyer has served as consultant to New Castle. When it became clear a dozen years ago that the town had to undertake a water supply upgrade and expansion program, the engineers were asked to recommend solutions to the growing number of problems. After a study the firm proposed completely relining the old and deteriorated water mains, building a new pumping station to boost supply to the distribution system, and constructing a brand new water treatment plant around a process scheme that would be based upon the latest technology.
Hazen and Sawyer provided planning, design, construction administration, start-up and operator training services for the Millwood treatment plant and pumping station project. The firm was awarded the first prize in the New York Association of Consulting Engineers' 1994 Engineering Excellence Award for its significant role in the Millwood project, which qualified the entry for the national award program conducted annually by the American Consulting Engineers Council.
The task of relining the water mains was started in 1984, the pumping station construction work began in 1988, and the treatment plant project got underway in 1990. The new pumping station, along with an additional connection to the Catskill Aqueduct, went into service early in 1992, and the water treatment plant was started up in August of 1993. Cost of the project was $26 million-$5 million for the pump station and $21 million for the plant. Water rates were raised to pay the debt on the bonds issued for the project, but a number of ways to save money were recommended by a special Water Advisory Committee. One of these was to engage the services of a contract operations firm. As a result, the facility is being operated for New Castle by the firm of Mid-Hudson Pollution Control, Inc., of Wappingers Falls, New York, under a five-year renewable contract.
Advanced Processes Incorporated
The 7.5 mgd Millwood Treatment Plant uses several up-to-date processes to produce finished water that more than meets federal water quality standards. In fact, it is the first full scale installation in the U.S. of a European technology, dissolved air flotation (DAF), to accomplish clarification is to be found on the site. In conjunction with this is the use of ozone as the primary disinfectant in the process train.
Pilot studies had determined that DAF would be a cost-effective way to clarify the raw water from the Catskill Aqueduct. This water supply exhibits reasonably low turbidity much of the year, but during some months the water becomes more turbid and contains significant quantities of entrained air. In the spring, when the reservoirs usually have been drawn down substantially, heavy rains in the watershed area can cause turbidity levels to increase to unacceptable levels. When this occurs, New York City reduces the flow in the Catskill Aqueduct from about 600 mgd to half of that figure, and makes up for the decrease by withdrawing more from other sources.
One effect of the lower flow is to cause large quantities of air to become entrained at the numerous inverted siphons along the course of the aqueduct. The result is that the water withdrawn from the system has become supersaturated with air, a condition which affects the performance of conventional settling clarifiers adversely. A large stilling basin could have been installed to allow release of the supersaturated air, but space was not available on the plant site for such a facility. It was clear that the treatment process selected for New Castle would have to handle high turbidities and supersaturation simultaneously. The DAF approach appeared to be the answer. Its clarification performance was proven and the supersaturation phenomenon presented no problem, since the process is dependent on the introduction of air into the water in treatment.
The New Castle plant contains five flocculation/dissolved air flotation flow-trains, one of which is depicted in the accompanying schematic drawing. Flocculated solids formed in the three-stage flocculators are floated to the surface by introducing a recycled pressurized stream of air-saturated water into the bottom of the DAF units just ahead of an inclined baffle. When the pressure of the recycle stream approaches atmospheric across sets of globe valves, supersaturation occurs and air is released from solution. The microscopic bubbles formed by the pressure release attach to floc particles, causing them to rise to the surface of the liquid. A scraper mechanism in the top of the tank transfers the floated solids into a DAF solids receiver, while clarified water is taken off through a perforated pipe arrangement at the bottom of the DAF tanks.
A system containing five fixed-speed centrifugal pumps is used to generate the air-saturated water needed for the flotation process. Recycled water (6 to 12 percent of the DAF-clarified water) is pressurized to over 100 psig. Each pump is connected to a 2.5-in. stainless steel eductor, which entrains air into the recycle flow. Air dissolution occurs rapidly, and excess undissolved air is released in pressurized separation tanks and returned to the eductor. Two compressor/receiver assemblies provide high pressure make-up air to the recycle system.
Ozone For Primary Disinfection
Located immediately after the DAF section of the plant's process train are the ozone contactors. As noted earlier, ozone was selected as the primary disinfectant for this new facility in anticipation of forthcoming tighter regulations governing control of disinfection by-products. While ozone-generated by-products are less understood than those produced by the traditional chlorine disinfection process, there are fewer concerns about them at this time. Ozone also produces a finished water which some believe has better aesthetic qualities-taste, odor and appearance. But it does not provide a residual in distribution systems, and for that reason a relatively low dose of chlorine is added to the New Castle supply before it leaves the Millwood plant. The goal is to maintain a minimum residual concentration of 0.5 ppm of free chlorine in the distribution system.
Ozone is generated on-site and injected into the clarified water in the contact chambers, which provide five to six minutes of contact time. By applying the ozone after clarification, but before filtration, the ozone demand is minimized, and oxidized organic or inorganic materials can be removed by the filters, which are placed next in the process scheme. The ozonation system comprises air compressors, air dryers, ozone generators, and ozone destructors to prevent the escape of excess ozone into the plant atmosphere.
The Rest of the Process
Raw water from the aqueduct is fed into rapid-mix basins where high-intensity dispersion of a variety of chemicals can be accomplished. These include alum, polyaluminum chloride, chlorine, caustic soda, polymer, and potassium permanganate. Flocculation follows the rapid mixers and precedes the DAF. The flocculators provide about 30 minutes of gentle mixing in three stages to develop the floc.
Later, clarified, ozonated water is fed to the declining-rate, rapid gravity filters containing 24 in. of anthracite over 12 in. of sand. Fifteen to 20 minutes of backwashing are required every 72 to 120 hours of operation. Waste backwash water is pumped into a balancing tank for temporary storage before it is transferred at a relatively low rate to an inclined plate/thickener unit. Solids are drawn off at the bottom and pumped to two drying lagoons, where they remain for at least a year. Subjected to the freeze-thaw cycles of a typical New York State cold season, the solids become an easy-to-dry crumbly cake which finds an end-use as inert fill.
The filtered water gets its low-dose shot of chlorine, to ensure a disinfecting residual is present, before being sent on its way to the utility's customers. In addition, caustic soda is fed to raise the pH to above 7.0 so that the water is slightly basic. This condition optimizes the effectiveness of the orthophosphate which also is added, its job being to act as corrosion inhibitor and to reduce the introduction of lead and copper by leaching from pipes and fittings, particularly from the piping beyond the customer connection to the utility's mains. These chemical additions are made at the Millwood Pumping Station, as is the injection of fluoride solution, before the finished water enters the distribution system.
Millwood Pumping Station
This 7.5-mgd facility was completed in 1992 and has been pumping filtered water since August of 1993. The pumps can lift water by more than 400 ft so that an adequate level can be maintained during peak demand periods in the 2 million gallon Alpine Lane storage tank. Four single-stage, 300 hp, centrifugal pumps with variable speed electric motor drives are installed in the station. The drives provide "soft" start and stop conditions, which keep pressure surges to a minimum in the system. Pump output is automatically varied by speed adjustments made to match demand, a feature which helps to minimize power consumption.
Nominal capacity of the station can be increased to 10 mgd by the addition of another pump, for which space was allowed in the design. Water leaves the station through a new 20-in. transmission main which extends about 2500 ft to meet the existing piping system.

Three of the world's top climbers are missing and presumed dead by park officials after an avalanche in Canada's Banff National Park.
U.S. citizen Jess Roskelley, and Hansjörg Auer and David Lama, who are both Austrian, were attempting to climb the east face of Howse Peak at the national park, which is located in Alberta, Canada, NPR reported. The three elite climbers, who are members of the North Face's Global Athlete Team, were reported overdue on Wednesday and after park officials observed the area, they believe the trio didn't survive the incident.

"Based on the assessment of the scene, all three members of the party are presumed to be deceased, Banff National Park wrote on Twitter. "We extend our sincerest condolences to the families, friends, and loved ones of the mountaineers."
After the men were reported missing on Wednesday, park officials used a helicopter to search for them from the air, and "observed signs of multiple avalanches and debris containing climbing equipment," Parks Canada said in a press statement obtained by CNN.
"Search and recovery efforts are not currently possible due to weather and dangerous avalanche conditions," Parks Canada added. According to Parks Canada, the avalanche is expected to continue, due to precipitation and strong winds.

The North Face also posted an update on the three climbers on its website, and said it's waiting for more information from the search operation.
"We have learned that three members of our Global Athlete Team, Jess Roskelley, David Lama, and Hansjörg Auer were presumed caught in an avalanche on April 16 in Alberta, Canada," The North Face said on its website. "They are missing and we are waiting for additional information as the search mission continues."
David Lama, Jess Roskelly, and Hansjoerg Auer were among the best—each an incredible mountaineer, partner, & friend who enriched our community immeasurably. They will be deeply missed; may we continue to find inspiration in their ideals & accomplishments. https://t.co/SlA4A88poL

It's unknown what caused the avalanche, however, according to Parks Canada, the route was "remote and an exceptionally difficult objective, with mixed rock and ice routes requiring advanced alpine mountaineering skills."
Jess Roskelley, 36, hailed from Spokane, Wash., and was called by National Geographic "one of the most accomplished climbers of his generation." In 2003, the then-20-year-old became the youngest person to summit Mount Everest, which he scaled with his father, the climbing pioneer John Roskelley.
John told CBS his son had never scaled Howse Peak when he set out to tackle the nearly 11,000-foot summit with the two other professional mountaineers. "They had all done climbs more difficult than this. It's just that they liked the looks of this route," he said.
David Lama, 28, the son of a Nepali mountain guide and Austrian nurse, was "quite literally born to climb," reads his bio on the North Face's website. He was just 12 years old when he became the youngest climber ever to summit a mountain taller than 8,000 meters (26,000 feet) and recently, he became the first person to conquer Lunag Ri, Nepal's highest unclimbed 6,907-meter mountain (22,660 feet).
Hansjörg Auer, 35, grew up in the mountains of Austria and in 2007, had free-soloed (climbed without any ropes or assistance) a legendary 850-meter (2,788-foot) route on Italy's Marmolada mountain known as the Fish. The feat was "arguably the hardest ever big-wall free-solo" climb ever completed before Alex Honnold's recent free-solo climb of El Capitan in 2017, Rock and Ice magazine reported.
"Climbing mountains is the fruit of my soul," Auer said in a North Face-produced documentary about his life.
Currently, the Howse Peak vicinity is closed to all travel and traffic until further notice for the search and rescue operation. Park officials haven't disclosed when it will open again.

i think the right path shuold be /play/ed160af7-5c98-4868-a679-2e86803e67d2/

A: In Django's forum , a master KenWhitesell  pointed out the problem to me.

You're causing it by using the root-path parameter in your run command.

See the Daphne docs for Root Path, and the referenced docs for WSGI SCRIPT_NAME.
so i changed the run command, just remove  the --root-path parameter. it all right.
if you meet this problem too, i hope this can help to you.

Council announces plans for new £30million investment fund
Housing apprentices head to Malta to share their expertise
Proposals set out for new workspace at Pioneer Park
Businesses helped to benefit from city's construction boom
More than 1,000 people get jobs with the help of Leicester to Work
COUNCIL plans to invest up to £30milllion in local property and other investment opportunities in Leicester have been announced.
Leicester City Council is proposing to set aside £10milllion for investment in commercial property. A £20milllion investment fund will also be set aside to take advantage of new opportunities which benefit the local economy, by attracting private investment and creating new jobs, while still offering a secure return on the council's cash.
The £30milllion proposed investment fund would use council money currently sitting in the banks and set aside specifically for paying off part of its £200million debt. This debt has accrued as a result of borrowing to pay for major projects such as roads and schools. Money to repay it is raised every year. This money cannot be used to fund council services, or to offset Government cuts.
At present, low interest rates set by the Bank of England mean that any such money in council savings accounts is not gathering a good level of interest – only about 0.5 per cent.
Also, under current Government rules, councils that repay their debts early will face penalties.
This makes it more economical for the council to invest this cash in schemes with the potential to offer a better return and help boost the local economy.
City Mayor Peter Soulsby said: "It is vital that we look at every opportunity to make our cash balances work as hard as possible for good returns and the economic benefit of the city.
"This is money that is currently sitting in low interest bank accounts as security against borrowing from the government to pay for major infrastructure projects. Like many other councils, we are now looking at ways that these cash balances can be used to generate a better return and to support local economic growth and prosperity."
Last year, the city launched a new £20milllion Enterprising Leicester investment fund, which offers loans of up to £4million to businesses or developers looking to invest in the city. This uses cash balances in the same way as is being proposed for the new investment funds.
Hastings Direct is the first company to benefit from the Enterprising Leicester investment fund, with a £4milllion loan to support its expansion and help create 500 new local jobs.
A formal decision on whether to approve the new investment opportunity fund is due to taken on Monday 27 February.

Ovadia Eli (, born 22 May 1945) is an Israeli former politician who served as a member of the Knesset for Likud from 1984 until 1996, Deputy Minister of Defense between 1991 and 1992, and mayor of Afula from 1978 until 1991. Since leaving the Knesset, he has headed several government-owned companies, and is currently the CEO of the Israel Airports Authority.

Life and politics
Born in Khanaqin in Iraq in 1945, Eli made aliyah to Israel in 1950. He studied at the Lifschitz Seminar for Education, and received a BA from the University of Haifa, after which he worked as a teacher. He later became head of the school system in the north of the country.

A member of Herut, he was elected mayor of Afula in 1978, a position he held until 1991. He was elected to the Knesset on the Likud list (then an alliance of Herut and other right-wing parties) in 1984. He was re-elected in 1988, and was appointed Deputy Speaker. On 8 July 1991 he was also appointed Deputy Defense Minister. During the Knesset term Eli chaired the Special Committee for Amending the Galilee Law and the Committee on Drug Abuse. He was re-elected again in 1992 and remained a Deputy Speaker until losing his seat in the 1996 elections (despite finishing 18th in the Likud primaries, he was assigned an unrealistic place on the party list).

After leaving the Knesset, he was appointed CEO of Oil Refineries Ltd by Minister of National Infrastructure, Ariel Sharon. In April 2005 he was appointed CEO of Israel Military Industries by Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, but resigned in June 2006. In October that year, he became CEO of the Israel Airports Authority.

In addition to political activities, Eli was also a member of the board of the Jewish Agency for Israel and a member of the Amidar housing company's directorate.

The global economy is picking up momentum, interest rates remain at low levels, earnings are strong, sentiment is positive and most of our technical indicators are bullish.
Plus, the U.S. dollar is now breaking down again and it's declined about 10% so far this year. This is actually good for stocks, the economy, gold, the resource sector and commodities in general.
In fact, copper has been surging, hitting a four year high. It's likely leading the way up for resources and the future looks bright.
After years of low prices, the stronger global economy means greater demand, especially out of China, and better times for the resource sector as 2018 unfolds.
Plus, the tax code changes are expected to boost infrastructure spending, further increasing demand for industrial metals. Since copper is widely used in construction, it's set to continue benefitting from ongoing demand.
Copper is often referred to as Dr. Copper. That's because it's used as a barometer to measure the global economy. And based on copper's strength, it's telling us the economy is healthy.
This is bullish action and several of the resources are following copper's lead.
Crude oil, for instance, is also strong at a 2½ year high. With production slowing, we could see the oil price much higher in the months ahead.
Gold is surging as well, hitting a 3½ month high. It ended the year with an almost 14% gain, which is gold's biggest annual gain in seven years.
Gold is finally coming alive, after building a base for the past couple of years. It's again benefitting as a safe haven and it's poised to head much higher as 2018 unfolds.
We continue to recommend keeping your gold and precious metals positions. All things considered, increasingly it looks like 2018 is going to be the year the turnaround in the metals really gets going.
So stay tuned. This new year may prove to be an exciting one for metals investors.
