Hidden treasures revealed in Afghanistan: Crossroads of the Ancient World at the British Museum

It’s quite sad to say, that American and British war-mongersa must be kicking themselves for overlooking this little treasure when they invaded Afghanistan over 10 yrs ago.

Uploaded by britishmuseum on Mar 25, 2011

A story of daring and intrigue – archaeologists discovered the treasures of Afghanistan’s nomadic ancestors but then had to hide them to keep them safe.

The treasures were on display at the British Museum from 3 March – 17 July 2011 in the exhibition Afghanistan: Crossroads of the Ancient World.

Dutchsinse Radiation Monitoring: 2/13/2012 ☢ Alert ! 110 CPM in the SNOW – St. Louis, Missouri ☢ AVOID EXPOSURE ☢

Uploaded by dutchsinse on Feb 13, 2012

update 950pm CST 2/13/2012 –

convert CPM to uS/v or mS/v here: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/GM/converting_CPM_mRhr.html

quote:

“For those who prefer to use Sieverts, 108 CPM is about 1 uSv/hr for C060, and for Cs137 it is around 120 CPM per 1 uSv/hr. “

This means my test @ 110CPM = 1 uS/v per hour. Which means 24 uS/v per day ….

24 uS/v per day X 365 days in a year = 8,760 uS/v per year !!! That is roughly 8.5 mS/v per year — which equals about spending over an hour at chernobyl !! (that is per the PBS site below). We are coming up on one year from Fukushima — if these levels continue it means we ALL spent over an hour at chernobyl if the levels carry on for a full year !!!!!

thats the rough math — this is NOT good news.

how much radiation is too much? here is a chart to see:

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/the-daily-need/how-much-radiation-is-too..

I have done subsequent measurements OUTSIDE in the snow directly — 73.8 CPM over 10 Minutes.. and another test at approx. 62CPM.

In total.. three tests.. 110CPM, 62CPM, and 74CPM. These are HIGH levels..

100CPM is alert level.. so the first count actually falls under “ALERT level”.. second two readings fall in the “HIGH” category.

Past baseline measurements in the same spot were an average of 20-30CPM.
—

I am now (500pm CST) collecting snow for several hours — will melt the snow — and take tests — also will EVAPORATE the snow and take readings on the residue.

Again.. a straight test returns a VERY high reading @ 110CPM — these are just the preliminary tests — I cannot leave the equipment outside in the snow for 10 minutes — thus we must collect the sample and do extended testing.

I will be using all three geiger counters on the full tests — once I have enough direct snowfall in the collection glass. Coming ASAP ! Tonight into tomorrow AM (2/14) — each test takes 10 min + video processing and upload time. Will do three tests at least, links to monitor radiation are below:

Keep in mind.. this is ALL ON TOP of the Fukushima disaster in March 2011 — which blew an EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT of radioactive debris into the air.

Dutchsinse — Radiation Test DIRECTLY at Byron Illinois Nuclear Power Plant 2/7/2012

Uploaded by dutchsinse on Feb 7, 2012

READ BELOW:

Today, we drove into the mouth of the beast — Location : 1/4 mile south of the Byron Illinois Nuclear power plant. We passed within a few hundred feet of the structures. Got some GREAT shots of the steam venting near the reactor buildngs.

This nuclear plant ‘vented’ clouds of steam laced with tritium this past week — the clouds were blown by prevailing winds over downtown Chicago, IL. Thus the reason for this measurement taking trip. Todays levels near the plant directly are below the alert level of 100CPM — but a full 20CPM above downtown Chicago (those tests will be uploaded later tonight).

Todays measurements averaged between 45cpm and 48cpm. Several more to still be processed and uploaded.. most averaging in the 50CPM range..

Many thanks to internatonal medcom for the 2nd Inspector Alert geiger counter. Here is a link to their site (they are the manufacturer of the Inspector Alert geiger ) http://medcom.com/

These ‘mid level’ readings — half way to the alert level of 100CPM— leads me to believe that the tritium is dissipating as expected — however some elevated amounts still remain.

Dutchsinse Radiation ALERT! ☢ Test #1 — 349.5 CPM — Airborne particulates — St. Louis Missouri USA ☢

This is the same video that NiburMagick reports about below, if you weren’t with us earlier this year after the Fukushima disaster. To the right under Radioactivity from Fukushima are Remedies and Anti-dotes with many recommendations for combating the effects of radiation with preventative measures.  Kelp supplements, baking soda and sea salt baths, miso soup and many other natural treatments should be worked into to your routine as a way of life from here on into the future to help prevent damage from radiation.

349.5 CPM (counts per minute) = 3495 over the course of 10 minutes.

(first test was 250+ CPM over 5 min – not on camera — several more tests over the next few days forthcoming)

By all accounts, 100 CPM is the alert level for “high radiation”. This means we are far over alert levels when it comes to small radioactive particulate matter in the air.

This boldly contradicts my previous findings from cross country measurements.. highest levels cross country were in Colorado @ 80-100 CPM

location : Saint Louis, Missouri
date : 11/18/2011 1200 noon CST

Method of collection:

electromagnetically charged particle collection plate 30 minute collection (stainless steel) — ionic breeze air purifier collection plate

steel plate wiped with a fresh dry paper towel.. then placed on a clean glass surface.

Geiger counter is the “inspector alert” http://medcom.com/products/inspector-alert

Both paper towel and plate pre-tested for ambient background radioactivity (normal) on video.

I intend to repeat this test several more times as well as tomorrow (nov 19 2011) taking several outdoor measurements across the Saint Louis Missouri area using the same collection method.

It appears that regular geiger counters are NOT picking up even LARGE amounts of particulate radioactive material.. (not talking about hot particles here but particles of actual debris material in the air) it requires a collection apparatus which then allows one to be able to measure a “stationary sample” of the particles— this is done when the particles build up on the collection plate — normally these radioactive particles would float by undetected.

Which is why ALL the geiger counters are returning LOW amounts (except those near fukushima directly).

If you have a magnetic air purifier metal collection plate (like an ionic breeze for instance) and a geiger counter, you can repeat this experiment in your area.

I looked into possible contamination by the ionic breeze.. it produces negative ions..the DUST that im wiping off the plate and removing far enough from the whole device.. is producing a radioactive return.

could the ionic breeze be turning my regular household dust into mini-radioactive particles? Not likely… however I do concede that it is a REMOTE possibility that the ionic breeze is a mini-radiation generator that is slowly killing me with radiation (no one has figured it out until today LOL) .. if that is the case I have a lawsuit against ionic breeze for radiation exposure !

More likely, the particles in the air that I am wiping from the plate are indeed radioactive… actually either way they are radioactive, its just a matter as to WHERE are these particles coming from.

here are the links I have to monitor radiation levels nationally and internationally:

Dutchsinse Radiation Test: Ainaloa, Big Island, Hawaii Water from roof catchment @ 32.1 CPM

From: dutchsinse  | Jul 17, 2011

Sent to me from the Big Island, Hawaii … by youtube user Sandcastles808

http://www.youtube.com/sandcastles808 THANK YOU !!!! :^) I have several more samples I will be uploading over the next day.

So far, all samples have returned “low” levels.. or basically NO levels of radioactive contamination.

This sample.. recored at 32.1 CPM … falls FAR below the even basic “alert level”… which is 100CPM according to the “radiation network”… http://www.radiationnetwork.com

Unless we get readings OVER 100 CPM.. we really have no cause for worry… right now.. this establishes a ‘baseline’ for us to make future measurements, and compare.
The good news also, is that these levels.. VERY CLOSE to fukushima japan, are LOWER than we see in the Midwest USA .. where I live!

Thanks again to sandcastles808, and I got your care package Sandcastles.. thank you for the Hawaiian Coffee .. and we love the postcards and calendar!!!!

MUCH LOVE !!!!!

Radiation Dutchsinse Radiation Test: Parsley from Kalapana, Hawaii on garden parsley 31.0 CPM

From: dutchsinse  | Jul 14, 2011  | 307 views

These samples were sent to me by youtube user : Sandcastles808 THANK YOU!!!http://www.youtube.com/sandcastles808Good news !!! we are seeing VERYLOW levels — better put — NO LEVELS of radioactive fallout are showing up.in Hawaii.

IF there were a release of large amounts of radioactive material, then there SHOULD be high levels of Cesium (with a half life of 30 years). However, this is NOT the case… we are seeing literally very low levels in Hawaii and elsewhere… lower than the midwest united states!!!

Dutchsinse Radiation Test for Kansas City 55.9 CPM

From: dutchsinse  | Jun 28, 2011

Conversion chart for CPM to mSv/h is here:
http://www.mcgill.ca/ehs/radiation/basics/meter/

This measurement was made on . It indicates “low to moderate levels” of radiation. Alert level is considered anything over 100CPM by the radiation network …

http://www.radiationnetwork.com

The radiation background measurement, taken over the course of 10 minutes was 55.9 CPM .

*************
statistics:
Total 10 minute count = 559 = 55.9 CPM
Location: 50 Miles west of Kansas City, Missouri (bates city)
Coordinates : 39° 0’42.34″N , 94° 6’8.45″W
Elevation : 770 feet

Measurement taken: ten mintue long CPM measurement using the “inspector alert” nuclear radiation monitor (geiger counter)

from the inspector alert geiger counter manual:

“CPM (or CPS) and total counts are the most direct methods of measurement; mR/hr (or uSv/hr) is calculated using a conversion factor optimized for Cesium-137, so this mode is less accurate for other radionuclides, unless you have calibrated the “geiger counter” for a specific radionuclide using an appropriate source. It is more appropriate to measure alpha and beta activity using CPM than using mR/hr. Conversion for alpha and beta emitters is calcuated differently, and the “geiger counters” reading in mR/hr may not be accurate.”

Dutchsinse Radiation Monitoring: Nebraska at Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power plant, Radiation Test #1 48.4 CPM

In my opinion, the pictures coming in over the internet make the flooding at the nuclear power plant look a lot worse than what we’re seeing here.

Link to Test 2  61.4CPM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3r5tGzqaeI&feature=player_profilepage

From: dutchsinse  | Jun 24, 2011

48.4 CPM This means LOW to virtually “background” levels, the levels here NEXT to the plant are equal to that of most everywhere else in the country except for Denver Colorado.This also means RUMOR has run amok, and there has not been any sort of detectable radioactive “leak”.

This is the first of several measurements that were taken today, 6/24/2011 — I measured North, East, South, and Southeast from the plant itself, and also on the way along from Saint Louis, Missouri to Omaha, Nebraska — where the Ft. Calhoun Nuclear power plant is located.

He said he did three tests, but I only found two from Fort Calhoun today
