Experimental system to displace radioisotopes from upper to deeper soil layers: chemical research
© Cazzola et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2004
Received: 17 December 2003
Accepted: 06 May 2004
Published: 06 May 2004
Radioisotopes are introduced into the environment following nuclear power plant accidents or nuclear weapons tests. The immobility of these radioactive elements in uppermost soil layers represents a problem for human health, since they can easily be incorporated in the food chain. Preventing their assimilation by plants may be a first step towards the total recovery of contaminated areas.
The possibility of displacing radionuclides from the most superficial soil layers and their subsequent stabilisation at lower levels were investigated in laboratory trials. An experimental system reproducing the environmental conditions of contaminated areas was designed in plastic columns. A radiopolluted soil sample was treated with solutions containing ions normally used in fertilisation (NO3 -, NH4 +, PO4 --- and K+).
Contaminated soils treated with an acid solution of ions NO3 -, PO4 --- and K+, undergo a reduction of radioactivity up to 35%, after a series of washes which simulate one year's rainfall. The capacity of the deepest soil layers to immobilize the radionuclides percolated from the superficial layers was also confirmed.
The migration of radionuclides towards deeper soil layers, following chemical treatments, and their subsequent stabilization reduces bioavailability in the uppermost soil horizon, preventing at the same time their transfer into the water-bearing stratum.
In the last sixty years, several episodes of artificial emission of radionuclides into the atmosphere have occurred as a result of nuclear weapons tests or as a consequence of nuclear power plant accidents (e.g. Chernobyl, 1986). Release of radionuclides to the environment represents a risk to human and animal health both as a source of irradiation and, above all, for the toxicity exerted at the cellular level by mutagenic, teratogenic and oncogenic actions [1, 2], because of their presence in the food chain [3]. However, natural or artificially released hard gamma emitters can be easily found as minimum detectable activity is very low.
Contamination presently found in polluted areas is mainly due to Cesium 137 (137Cs) and, to a lower extent, to Strontium 90 (90Sr), although traces of other high atomic mass radioisotopes may be found [6, 7]. The distribution of these radio-emitting nuclides in the soil profile is graphically represented by a curve starting from the ground surface and decreasing gradually toward deeper levels [6, 8, 9], suggesting low mobility [10, 11].
Several ecoremediation technologies based on biological methods [12, 13] have been developed for soil decontamination. Potential bioremediation agents include wild plants, known as hyperaccumulators [14, 15], genetically engineered plants [16, 17], fungi [18], and natural [19–21] or genetically modified microrganisms [22–24]. Such agents exhibit enhanced biochemical pathways responsible for the adsorption of heavy metals or radionuclides. The disposal of contaminated biomasses represents, however, a trouble and is a big limit to the methodology application. Other studies concerning the use of amendments able to limit the radionuclides uptake by plants have been carried out [25, 26]. These systems are able to reduce fodder and vegetables contamination, but they do not reach an acceptable level of toxicity reduction.
During voluntary activities carried out as part of the agro-veterinary project by the Humanitarian Association "Smile – Un sorriso per Chernobyl", it was possible to directly observe how isotopes of elements of the first group, which form soluble salts in water, remains in the superficial soil layers, even after seventeen years from the incident at the nuclear reactor. This radioisotopes bioavailability in the uppermost soil horizon is the result of the low rate transport caused by filtration of atmospheric precipitation, transfer on the colloidal and fine-dispersed particles and migration along the plant root system. It has been also remarked how the velocity of the radioisotopes vertical migration is a soil-type depending process [10] and this is probably due to the formation of stable complexes between radioisotopes and soil clay minerals. Toso and Velasco [27] described how the vertical distribution of low solubility elements in the soil is attributed to their presence in three forms: mobile, adsorbed and bonded.
Therefore, it is a plausible working hypothesis that the radioisotopes may be displaced from complexes or adsorption sites, mobilized by water, and then immobilized in the underlying layers of the soil, exploiting the sorbent and complexing capacities of the soil. The bioavailability of radioisotopes would be decreased by their transfer from the zone of leaching to the zone of accumulation. The removal of radioisotopes from the most superficial soil layers, even just few centimetres, would render them unavailable to herbaceous plants and grasses, allowing the production of safe hay, while their subsequent stabilisation at greater depth would guarantee against their transfer into the water-bearing stratums, also been this a long-term stabilization process within periods comparable with natural decay.
The aim of this paper was to assess in laboratory assays the possibility of removing the radionuclides complexed in the superficial soil layers and fixing them into lower levels where insoluble stable compounds can be formed again.

The second sample (named Type 2) was a soil of the same type of the previous one, collected from the O horizon but characterized by a 10% organic content. It was collected in a not Chernobyl disaster affected area located in the North-West of Italy. The global radioactivity measures of this soil type, performed by gamma spectrometry, are also reported in Table 1.
Each of the samples was collected on a 40 cm side square surface, to a depth of 20 cm. The soil samples were cleaned, removing grass, roots and pebbles. Each sample was then dried at 70°C, in a constant vacuum of 700 mmHg. Dried samples were kept at room temperature. Before each experiment, a fraction of samples were re-hydrated at 10% w/w.
Sample treatments
Set up of leaching solutions
In order to obtain solutions with efficient radioisotope solubilizing power, various aqueous solutions containing ions normally used in fertilization (such as NO3 -, NH4 +, PO4 --- and K+), in equal concentrations were tested. To obtain these solutions, the following reagents were used: potassium nitrate, nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, potassium phosphate, ammonium phosphate and ammonia (Carlo Erba Reagents). These reagents were combined in different proportions.
Ten g of contaminated (Type 1) re-hydrated soil were treated in 50 ml conical test-tubes with 10 ml of the tested solution, in reverse agitation for over night. After centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 20 min, 10 ml of the supernatant fraction were collected and subjected to scintillation counting as described below. The solution that showed the best eluting capabilities in extracting radioactive compounds from soils (named solution R; composition given below) was used in the sample treatments in columns.
Samples treatments in columns
Two experiments in column were prepared to assess the removing effects of the chemical treatments in conditions similar to natural ones and to assess the ability of the soil to immobilise the solubilised radionuclides.
A first column, named column A, was set to represent the uppermost contaminated soil layers (the zone of leaching), while a second column, named column B, was set to represent the deeper soil layers (the zone of accumulation).
Each plastic column was 80 cm in length and 4 cm in diameter. The column was held by a stand; the bottom end was closed by a glass stopcock, filled with cotton to prevent loss of the soil sample. A 200 ml beaker was placed under the column to collect the eluates from the stopcock.
The column A was filled with 100 g of contaminated soil sample (Type 1) up to about 10 cm in height. The soil sample was first treated with 20 ml of solution R, followed by serial addition of 4 aliquots of 10 ml of demineralised water. The water was added only after most of the aqueous solution had flowed out from the stopcock.
Nine treatments were then carried out with 10 ml of solution R, each of which were followed by 4 to 7 washes with 10 ml of demineralised water. These operations were carried out in order to simulate atmospheric precipitations; the total amount of water used in this experiment corresponds approximately to 630 mm of rain, corresponding to the average yearly rainfall. The use of a double volume of solution R for the first treatment was adopted to overcome the immediate buffering power of the soil, to avoid its deactivating effect and to reduce the chemical reagents usage. Each addition of water was followed by waiting until the columns had completely emptied and then collecting each fraction in the beaker. Ten ml of these fractions were scintillation counted as described below and the values obtained, after subtracting the SRL value (see below), were corrected according of the real volume of the fraction.
The column B was filled with about 650 g of normal (Type 2) soil sample to a height of 65 cm. Fifty one ml of the solution resulting from the collection and mixing of the first fifteen treatments and washes of the column A were added. This solution was characterised by a total radioactivity of 22.55 DPM/ml (determined as described below), calculated according to the counting of 10 ml of this solution. This treatment was followed by 32 washes with an average of 20 ml of demineralised water. Similarly to the first column, each addition was followed by waiting until the column had completely emptied before collecting 10 ml aliquots that were analysed. The resulting values were corrected as described above.
At the end of the two tests, the residual radioactivity of the first column and the distribution of the radioactivity in the second one were checked. The soil sample in the column A was entirely collected. Column B was split into 6 segments of the same length and the soil contained in each one were collected. All the soil samples were vacuum dried, homogenized, and subjected to counting as described below.
Analytical procedures
Determination of radioactivity levels in solid matrices
Bulk global measures on untreated soil samples were performed by gamma spectrometry (WAVE s.n.c, Turin, Italy), but the need of a very sensible and fairly rapid method, able to operate on small soil samples, dictated the decision to measure radioactivity by liquid scintillation. Moreover, as the direct counting on the soil samples gave heavy quenching effects that compromise the reading efficiency, the counting was carried out on liquid extracts.
All solid soil matrices were subjected to extraction in order to assess the initial and the final radioactivity levels, at the end of treatments. The extraction was carried out as follows.
Each soil sample (untreated, collected from the entire volume used in the column A or collected from each of the six segments of the column B) were first vacuum dried and then accurately homogenized. Ten g of soil samples, collected from the homogenisation, were extracted twice, first with 7 and than with 5 ml of a solution containing 1 M NH4Cl and 0.2% HNO3 for 3 hours in reversal agitation, and centrifuged for 20 min at 2000 rpm. Ten ml of the liquid phase were collected and counted three times in liquid scintillation as described below. An average of counting values was calculated.
Determination of radioactivity levels in eluted solutions
The radioactivity of eluted solutions was directly determined by scintillation counting. Radioactivity values were adjusted using a background radioactivity level value obtained as follows.
The uncontaminated Type 2 soil had pedological features similar to those of contaminated Type 1 soil. Type 2 soil radioactivity level is mainly due to the presence of natural isotopes or ubiquitary environmental contaminants; so this level was considered as representative of the average soil standard contamination.
Five aliquots of 5 g of Type 2 soil were extracted for 3 hour in reversal agitation with 10 ml of solution R diluted 1:6; this dilution value was obtained as ratio between the total amount of solution R and the total amount of water used as washing during the column A experiment. The entire volume of each extract was submitted to counting 4 times. The average value of all results was calculated and was considered as the Standard Radioactivity Level (SRL) of eluates of a generic uncontaminated soil.
Liquid scintillation counting
Liquid scintillation counts were carried out with a Packard Tricarb 1900 scintillation counter, using 20 ml plastic vials in which were placed 10 ml of sample solution and 10 ml of liquid scintillation cocktail (Instagel – Packard). Instrumentation efficiencies are 60% for 3H, 95% for 14C, 99% for 137Cs and 97% for 90Sr (0–2000 keV).
The DPM counts were carried out for 60 min for each sample, considering a reading window comprising all the energies (0 – 2000 keV counting channels). This counting method was chosen considering that it was not so important to identify the radionuclides involved into the reactions, since the objective was to shift all the isotopes producing significant doses of radiation.
The transformation into DPM was done automatically by the instrument. The count conditions were as follows: quench indicator tSIE/AEC, count termination at 5%, coincidence time 18 ns. The count values of the first vials of each assay, containing only ultra pure demineralised water and the scintillation cocktail, were used as background and subtracted from all of the other samples.
Leaching solution
The experimental tests were carried out at room temperature with various combinations of reagents. The best results were obtained using an aqueous solution of 0.185 M of KH2PO4 and HNO3 (2.5% KH2PO4 and 1.17% HNO3) with a pH of 1.1 (named solution R). Experimental tests (data not shown) have demonstrated a relationship between the efficacy of the treatment and the humidity of the soil sample used, and that the concentration of the solution used here is high enough for carrying out general tests to study the elution rates.
Removal of the radionuclides from the soil
The eluates of the uncontaminated Type 2 soil showed a radioactivity level of 4.75 DPM/ml. This value, considered as "background" and used as the Standard Radioactivity Level (SRL), was subtracted from all the scintillation counts of liquid matrices.
The count values of the extractions carried out on soil samples used in column A experiment were as follows: 86,9 DPM/g for the untreated contaminated (Type 1) soil (before the experiments), 56,0 DPM/g for the treated Type 1 soil. The difference between radioactivity values of the contaminated untreated soil and the contaminated treated soil is 30,9 DPM/g, which corresponds to the total extracted radioactivity, and represents 35.6% of the initial radioactivity.
Recomplexing capacity of the soil
Fifty one ml of the mixture of eluates from Column A experiment, containing the radioisotopes removed from that column, with a total radioactivity level of 22.55 DPM/ml, were added into column B. This addition was followed by 32 washes with water, five of which were used to saturate the column. The radioactivity values of each of the 27 eluted fractions cannot be well distinguished from "background" radioactivity level (SRL) and their trend is random (data not shown).
This work, entirely carried out in the laboratory, is a preliminary step to field tests and only aims to investigate new approaches to the problem of polluted areas recovery.
First we identified which treatment solution simultaneously satisfied the need to remove all of the soil radioisotopes and the need to not reduce soil fertility or, at least, to guarantee the possibility of restoring fertility with a later simple treatment. Therefore, we tested the use of ions normally present in inorganic fertilisers, in a combination able to obtain a leaching effect on the soil matter-heavy element complexes without endangering the soil characteristics. The best results were obtained by mixing equal amounts of a 5% solution of KH2PO4 and a 2.34% solution of nitric acid (solution 0.185 M of both reactives).
Results from the column experiment on the contaminated soil gave the following indications. From the observation of trends in Figure 1, it may be noted how in the first five treatments the addition of the solution R causes an immediate removal of the radionuclides, while in subsequent treatments the highest peaks of radioactivity are delayed and do not correspond to the first eluate after the addition of solution R.
The double volume of solution R used in the first treatment showed a higher eluting power; the extraction ratio was in fact higher than 1:2, the ratio that was expected by the use of a double amount of reagent, and highlighted a difference of action of the reagent as the used quantities vary. This rapid decrease in specific activity of eluates almost certainly results from the rapid flushing of the most soluble cationic radioisotopes. A radioactivity level ranging from 3.5 to 9 times higher in the first treatment, suggests a quadratic or cubic relationship between quantities of reactant and removed radionuclides, proposing the need for a more in-depth study of the phenomenon.
Evaluating the total radioactivity eluted by the 10 ml treatments, the trend of the tendency line can be noted, which falls gradually as the radionuclides are removed from the soil (Figure 3). The above observations lead us to believe that the slope of the tendency curve is a function of the total quantities of reactant used.
The problem of avoiding radionuclide transfer into the water-bearing stratums was investigated using an uncontaminated soil by checking the mobilization of isotopes following their solubilisation to see if the complexing and buffering power of the soil is able to fix radioactive substances in the space of relatively few centimetres. The results obtained from tests carried out on the column B experiment showed the following indications. All the eluates of the 27 washes with water (a total of 936 ml in a column with diameter 40 mm), corresponding to about 740 mm of rain, showed a radioactivity always similar to the background SRL value eluted from the non contaminated soil. Therefore, the entire radioactivity initially added in was held back in the mass of soil. The measured radioactivity levels of the six fractions of soil obtained from the sectioning of the column show that the radionuclides were mobilised only several cm.
The acquired experimental data demonstrate that the radionuclides found in contaminated soil can be removed by a nitric acid solution containing ions commonly used in agricultural fertilization. The total amount of radioisotopes removed on the quantity of reagent used. The procedures can be further improved and optimised for large scale field use.
Furthermore, the radionuclides present in the treatment solution after their removal can be rapidly recomplexed by the deeper soil layers with sufficiently strong bonds to avoid their removal even in the case of heavy flushing with water.
The possibility of using the system here described, with other methods already applied in contaminated areas, certainly opens up new prospects for intervention in order to limit the introduction of radioisotopes into the food chain following environmental pollution, as it would allow the recovery of large pasture areas for animal rearing.
The reduction of radioactivity to levels matching the international recommended standards for soil and the depth to which radionuclides have to be accumulated, together with the pedological features of the soil, certainly define the cost of a field application of this methodology, and have to be more investigated in further studies.
In this paper it is not a debatable issue if the choice to use the method here proposed is more useful than the simple land abandon for a suitable period, waiting for natural radioactive decay, or alternative methods for the environment recovery or for maintaining animal and human health.

My Jeep is running through a lot of antifreeze
Its not in the oil so its not an internal head gasket and its not leaking on the ground but you can smell it when its been running for awhile although the vehicle does not overhead
4 Answers
It is a head gasket - Its going into the combustion chamber and out the tail pipe
Start the engine, leave it running, and hold a paper towel/ cloth behind the exhaust for a minute. This will tell you if you are burning any oil or anti-freeze. If you're anti-freeze, the exhaust will have a slightly sweet smell. Good luck, hope it's not the head gasket!
If you smell it inside the jeep its the heater core
I was told by a mechanic that it is probably the intake gasket but not sure how to tell if that is true or not

How to Photograph Sunsets and Sunrises with Vibrant Colors using Exposure Compensation (EV)
The colors at sunset or sunrise can be really beautiful to see, but can pose a challenge to capture with your D-SLR. Oftentimes the colors may appear burnt out, faded and not as nice as how you see them naturally.
Deliberately Underexpose
Nonetheless, this is an easy technique to do. Most times when you use automatic settings on your camera the sky is overexposed causing the 'washed out colors' look. With this in mind, by deliberately underexposing your images the colors will appear more vibrant in the early morning or late evening when the sun does its magic. An added plus is that objects in the foreground will appear as attractive silhouettes, drawing more attention to your subject pops.
To deliberately underexpose your picture, you'll need to use your camera's exposure compensation settings. Most D-SLRs show this feature as a scale on the LCD and which you can see when you look through the viewfinder. If your D-SLR has an additional screen on top of it, then the feature may be shown there as well. You may not see this scale in certain camera modes including Automatic (A). It is when you change the mode to a more semi-automatic mode for e.g. Time Value (Tv)/Shutter Priority (S) or Manual mode, that you may see it.
Shortcut to Change Exposure Values (EV)
There may be a button on your camera to quickly access exposure compensation. You may need to check your manual for it. Press and hold it in while you turn the dial in the negative direction (left) or towards the positive direction (right), and let go when you have turned it to the value that you need.
The exposure scale usually runs between -2 and +2. Each value is known as an EV (Exposure Value). Setting your scale to 1 causes the exposure to drop by ½ causing the image to come out twice as dark. If you move it to -2, then the image will turn out 4 times darker than when the dial is at 0. On some D-SLRs, you can make micro-adjustments in increments of ½ or ⅓.
Experiment with EVs to Find Exposure that You Like
You may need to play around with these settings and see what value meets your desire for a particular scene. In some cases you may even need to slightly push your exposure compensation value positively. It depends on the results that you want. Sunsets and sunrises may change very quickly, but the general rule of thumb is to underexpose a bit to make sure that the beautiful colors are not washed out.
Taking a Picture of a Person Against a Sunset or Sunrise
Beyond this, you may want to photograph a person using the sunset/sunrise as the background. In this case, you can take the same approach but also using fill in flash with either your pop-up flash or speedlight to properly expose the face of the person. You can read more about how to use flash in the daytime to get great portraits on ….
Remember that once you've completed taking your photographs with EV settings to change it back to zero. Underexposing using these EV settings is both simple and crucial in preserving colors in the sky.

Manchester United supporters reacted angrily yesterday to the club's announcement of a record loss as the biggest profits in the Barclays Premier League were wiped out by debt repayments.
The Glazer family, who own the club, have pushed through the £100 million operating profit barrier for the first time with improved commercial deals, but they have also presided over an annual pre-tax loss of £79.6 million. This compares with a £48 million profit the previous year, when Cristiano Ronaldo was sold for £80 million.
The results for the year to June 30 — topped by record revenues of £286 million — highlighted

Hello Everyone!
I hope you are well and that all your family are well too.
This report contains a students story,
As you know our TOP scheme ( The Opportunity Programme) is not limited to academic ability, but the selection process involves recommendation by teachers , an interview and is very competitive. We asked Santosh Kumar one of our TOP students to write his story for this report. Here it is..
"I was born in Bodhgaya, and my family were very poor but I was always interested in my studies, and attended the nearest people first school from an early age. I had to work at my families market stall selling hats and belts to the tourists and when my father became ill , I had to work even harder.
It was really tough but I am so thankful for all the help and support I got from everyone at People First . I struggled hard, often working late into the night by the light of a lantern, but in-between the market stall and taking responsibility as the oldest son for my father's care, I managed to pass the school leaving examination and I applied for a People First scholarship under the TOP scheme to study full time in Delhi.
My father had improved in his health but there is no way we could afford any kind of further education without help. I got that help , and was able to graduate with a full Diploma in the Spanish language and now I work for an engineering firm with contracts in South America. I may even be working for a while in Venezuela soon.
Thank you for all my sponsors , Global Giving, and everybody here at People First in India for everything you have done for me".
Santosh Kumar
Please help us change young peoples lives for the better forever.
Naresh Sir ( Education Programme Director)
According to the rules we have changed Santosh's name for the purposes of this report but nothing else has been edited these are is his own words.
Hello Everyone.! I am Naresh, in charge of the education programme here at People First and it's time for a project update . I have asked Ranjeet one of our students, ( we have to change the name according to the rules because we cannot give personally identifiable information), but what he has written in Hindi and translated is completely unedited.
Namaste. (Greetings)
My name is Ranjeet, I am 17 years old and I have a People First scholarship at Gaya College , and I am studying science. I come for a village where People First has a school and they have educated me without any cost for me and my family for over 10 years. We are extremely poor, but with my education that will change. But I think you know that People First has this programme, I think you know how wonderful and successful the programme is, how it helps so many students like me to change their lives.
I want to tell you all just what the situation is here for poor students who have to rely in government education, unless like me they are very lucky, and others help them through the goodness of their hearts .
Here in Bihar the government recruited thousands of teachers to fill in the shortages particularly at primary schools and here's what happened, we discussed this news article in our regular monthly student meeting with Naresh Sir and others, Its from the BBC dated 15th July 2014.
When authorities in India's Bihar state began a mass recruitment of primary school teachers in 2003, many believed it would lead to an improvement in the quality of education.
Bihar's primary schools did not have enough teachers, so the new recruits were welcomed.
To fill in the hundreds of thousands of vacancies, the appointment rules were relaxed - the teachers were hired on presentation of degree certificates verified by the city or village council officials and they did not have to write any competitive examination.
Known as "contract teachers", these new recruits are paid just 25% of a regular teacher's salary of 40,000 rupees ($666; £389) a month.
More than a decade later, things look relatively better on paper - some 417,000 teachers, a majority of them (362,000) hired in the last decade, are employed with 73,000 primary schools.
But the reality is much grimmer: news washed up recently that more than 20,000 of the new recruits had forged their degree certificates to get their jobs. Authorities have already dismissed 779 teachers after investigation.
Senior education department official Ram Sharnagat told the BBC that they had received complaints against 52,000 teachers for submitting fake certificates.
"We will conduct a thorough probe and those who have forged their certificates will lose their jobs," state Education Minister Brishen Patel said.
Rising corruption
This is not the first time that such a scandal has hit school education in Bihar: some 15,000 teachers were dismissed in December 2008 for providing forged certificates.
That's not all. Education in Bihar is beset with several other problems too. Consider this:
No wonder, say experts, Bihar has the lowest literacy rate in India - 63% against the country's average of 74%. It also has a poor teacher-student ratio with one teacher for every 63 students, against the recommended national average of one teacher for 40 students.
Many of the schools have no classrooms
No wonder then that a primary school teacher in Samastipur district was caught on camera by a local news channel a few years ago telling students that there were 360 days in a year and that Patna - the capital of Bihar - was the Indian capital.
She also spelt January as Junuary, apple as Apil, and education as adukesun.
There's a lot more I could tell you, according the official auditor of the Indian government were sent false figures by the Bihar government in which they reported many more children were at school then there were actual children according to the very recent census, by a large margin.
My country is progressing.
Especially in other States. I am proud to be an Indian.
But please remember things are often not as they are reported and the need for this programme sadly is as great as it has ever been. Thank you so much for your help, and please help spread the word about this life changing programme.
Your obedient student,
Hello Everyone,
Here in Bihar, summers here with our schools only open in the early morning as temperatures are reaching 111F by mid afternoon.
As part of the TOP programme here is a letter written by a girl on our community education programme. Each place costs only $25 a month for school fees, support services and books. We have changed the name only, the letter is unedited, but translated from Hindi.
Hello Global Giving Supporters,
Respected greetings to you from my village school in Dhobi, Bihar, India
I don't like Sundays.
Because there is no School.
Sometimes it's very difficult for girls to get education here in the villages of India. Many get married.
I refused.
I told my parents I would run away if they tried to marry me before I got a basic and decent education. And yes I want to work, even after I am married. I want to be free and independent . I cannot do any of this without and education but I am poor. Here at the school, they teach us a song called let me go and learn, it is a song we sing to our parents. It says I will do my chores, I will help in the house, but let me study.
I want you know that I cannot do this alone, if it were not for the support of the girls community education programme, part of the TOP scheme ( the opportunities programme ) . It is not just the financial help I get, it is the support offered to me and the counseling of my parents that makes all the difference .
Please support this appeal so People First can help more girls like me.
from Diya class 8 Dhobi village school( age 14)
Thank you all once again,
Hi Everyone!
Its update time again and I thought I would ask a girl student at one of our village schools to tell us about her experiences. The students name is Ruby ( we have actually changed the name for privacy reasons), but the words are entirely her own.
"I am 14 years old and I live in Dhobi a small village in south Bihar India. I am the only girl in a family of four children, and my father is a farmer. I want everyone to know if were not for the girls community education scheme run by People First I would not be at school today. I study in class 7. The programme supports girls who wish to study by providing free education on the condition the parents sign a bond undertaking not to marry them or disturb their education in anyway . Because of this I am the first girl to be educated in my family.
As part of the community awareness programme encouraging girls to become educated recently with our parents we watched a video of a girl from the Yemen who had run away from forced marriage . We applauded her courage!
Sadly this is a problem here too, that is why we need this programme so much. It is so important. It is our lives.
Thank you for all your help"
By helping this programme you can directly reach out to girls like Ruby. One students education in this programme (in full time day school) costs only $190 per year.
In our area of work one in two women cannot read or write.
We send our heartfelt appreciation to all of you,
Hello Everyone!
This is Naresh the education director of People First Educational Charitable Trust (PFECT) with our update. Firstly may I wish you all the very best for the festive season and I hope everything is well with you. .
As you all know the TOP The Opportunities Programme is a wide ranging scheme and we give our solemn undertaking that single cent or penny which we receive from global giving from this appeal which goes to support this programme will go towards the children's education. Children like our youngest student, surrender ( aged about 9) who was interviewed by his teachers about being a TOP student.
I promised in the last report a report from a student and here it is below,
Firstly I want to say I understand that other people many kilometers away are helping children like me , so I am very happy to tell you about myself . It is my wish to do so. My name is Surrender . I am from a village about 30km from Bodhgaya.
I do not know my exact age.
But my mother told me I was born on a night without the moon. There is no electricity in my village, nor a school so I spent the days playing and looking after our goats. Then my father died. I don't know why. He was sick, and then he was gone. My mother could no longer care for me and I was sent to live with an uncle who was unkind to me. But then in the village I sometimes went (if my uncle allowed) to a People First School in the village.
Then I think six months (I do not really know) before someone came from Bodhgaya and they talked a lot with my teachers before they asked me, Do you want to come to Bodhgaya to study?,- you can choose a school. I went the next day with my teacher. Now I am so happy. I now stay with my mother on my holidays and the staff here told me my Uncle was no longer permitted to see me because a judge has given order. I feel a very fear gone from me. I have just got a new sweater and scarf and shoes and I am loving the study.
Thank You for helping me and other children like me
This report was compiled using some written input and an Interview with Surrender.
As always thanks for your support.
It costs $850.00 a year for Surrenders full time residential education, or $70 ( or 50GBP a month)
With compliments of the season,
Naresh Sir

It's the editing, cries Jennifer Carroll in reference to accusations that she may have had a thing for one of the V brothers on Top Chef. The 33-year-old who was eliminated just shy of a place on the final three tells E! Online that it was all a "joke."
"Nothing happened with any of us," she says, laughing. "I like how they kept showing little looks of me looking at them. They don't show anything of me looking at Kevin that way. It's like, 'Why not? There's nothing wrong with Kevin.' I guess they wanted to make something of the blond girl and the two good-looking brothers. Maybe America wanted us to get together, but it didn't happen."
But did she really break down on the show? While she may be hard on herself, she said, the editing still blew it out of proportion. "To me, a little mistake is a big mistake...I'm not upset anymore. When I was eliminated, it was really rough on me. I was really disappointed because I really wanted to make it into the final three. That was definitely hard for me."
She said the same thing was true with Michael's arrogant portrayal on the Bravo cooking show.
"Michael is very confident with himself," she laughingly admits. "But he's also a really nice guy. They didn't show that much. Just like they showed me under pressure a lot, they showed Michael's cocky side a lot."
Finally, inspired by Padma Lakshmi's naked cover of Page Six magazine, Jennifer says she has no qualms posing naked for a magazine. "But I guess I have to get pregnant first--it may be a while."
Top Chef's final three will battle it out next week for the ultimate title.

Broughton: Germs aplenty may lurk at your pediatrician's drop-in clinic
I am what you might call a serial temperature-checker when my kids are sick. I want to have them in bed with me and the poor kids, all they need is sleep and they have to hear the beeping of the ear thermometer every five minutes, like a smoke alarm with a dying battery: Beep ... beep ... almost asleep ... beep ... startle ... beep ... almost asleep … again ... beep ... "Mom, stop it!"
You also couldn't stop me from kissing my kids 1,000 times when they're sick. It's one of the clear defects in a mom's DNA. We spend hundreds of dollars a year on disinfectants and hand sanitizers to keep ourselves germ-free but the moment our kids are sick: Bam! We can't keep our hands off them. It's only a slightly cruel irony that WebMD recommends the best way to tell if your child has a temperature without a thermometer is with your lips pressed on their forehead.
One time when my son Ben was sick, I dragged him to the drop-in hour at my pediatrician's office in the morning and there was a line out the door – literally all the way down the hall. All of us unkempt moms were clutching Kleenex in one hand and coffee in the other, holding the hands of our PJ-wearing kids, forbidding them from touching anything in the office.
"Sit down, but don't touch anything. Don't even look at the toys," was the futile command of one mom. I mean, why? Toys in a doctor's office? The last place in God's green earth you would let your kids touch something is in a pediatrician's office. It's like having a cat adoption fair in the waiting room of an allergist. Absurd. And a little cruel. I always suspected it was some sort of social experiment and looked for the cameras.
You could just feel the sinister germs swarming the room, laughing openly at our travel-sized Purell bottles and Wet Ones.
The waiting room was filled with Gatorade-filled sippy cups, empty plastic bowls (just in case the "throw ups" return) and hastily engineered ponytails. To make things worse, when I finally was able to pop my head in to see the weary nurse in the window, she stood up and announced to the line that they were booked for the morning and we all had to make an appointment to come back later in the day.
"Ummm, you don't mean me do you?" I said with my sweetest smile. The nurse, unmoved (and a bit annoyed) by my attempts to charm her, said, "Yes, you too." But, I could tell what she meant was: "Especially you."
So I went back at 1:30 that afternoon. The office was empty.
But I still didn't let Ben touch anything.

Romantic Guide to Kyoto
Easy to hike. I just liked the fact that birds were flying near to us that i could see ravens hunting mice and flying back with them xD
The walk up was nice... But a lot of stairs ;-) view from the view point was nice... But we climbed to the very top of mountain...
Took about 50 mins going up as I wasn't very fit. Views from the top were well worth the 'pain'! Highly recommend to those who are not keen on the commercialized stuff. One of the highlights of my Kyoto visit!
I highly recommend you take this uphill trail. My family love nature and hiking. It took us about an hour and a half going up to the top because we spent to much time taking Autumn maple trees in one beautiful spot. We were so lucky to see Autumn maple even on December 4, 2015. No toilet, Dress light, wear...
This attraction has not many tourists. Why? Is a mystery to me. In the hills behind the silver pavilion are one of kyotos must hidden gems... You must take this trip if you just have a tiny adventure in you or if you just want a nature experience in the vibrant city of Kyoto, the walk to the top ain't...
This is definitely worth the hike. The views are great and the hike gives you a great appreciation of the forested mountains around Kyoto.
Tuck away in a little entrance near Ginkanku-ji temple, this mountain offers an easy half hour climb up for some great views of Kyoto. The hike itself is under shaded trees and is very pleasant even in summer. Bring some sandwiches and drinks for a mini picnic at the top. The level you reach will form the horizontal stroke from...
I skipped Ginkaku-ji temple at the base of this hike, and opted for the 1 hour climb to the top of the mountain, where the view of Kyoto was amazing. It is steep but the trail is good. There are a lot of steps, but I saw trekkers of all ages on the route. If you need a few hours...
Just left of Ginkaku-ji, the path is easy to follow and not too long (ca 25 mins). Great view from the big "dai" character platform, preferably with the sun (ie in the morning or at noon)

Wow, where to start really? There is so much going on with everyone! I had to write notes for myself to keep up... lol
Redrobin - I'll hang around as long as you'll all have me... I really want to see everyone get their BFP's too... I'll keep you posted on my scan results though... We will know for sure then (hopefully) if we have been blessed with twins
I'm a little bit excited that there is also a jan/feb thread to join too... I hope to see you all on the flip side!
GirlX - in regards to your test lines... You DH is totally right... Different tests have different sensitivity... (like early pregnancy tests are very sensitive usually) They will all show different thing, but at the end of the day, they still show you are pregnant! Another thing that can change these results.... How much water you have had? The more water, the more diluted the hormone, hence weaker the line... How many days till you BT?
SL - great news about your little bubba... my next thing is the scan, they haven't asked me to do any more BT's... The scan is a fortnight today and I will be 7 weeks then... How far along are you now?
SheBelieved - well done! Wishing you stickies x
Amy and Ertgirl - congratulations on your BFP's.... I am so excited for you both x.
Thank you so much for starting this thread Ertgirl... I am a part of a couple of threads and this has been by far the most active and supportive... Thank you to all of you for your encouragement and words of sanity when I was loosing mine... It has made all the difference just to know I could bear my soul to others that understood this journey...
- Nebiskus xx
Congrats Ertgirl, that is fantastic news!! What a wonderful day!
Amy - woohoooo! That's such great news! Xx
SelM22 - thanks Hun, I'm sure all of us will do more than one ugly cry during this time! Hang tight xx
Nicsta - I am on Crinone (seriously how GROSS is that stuff?!) and injections daily of clexane. I don't really know why I am on the clexane, I will ask on Saturday. I know it's a thing used for prevention of blood clottingz. One of you might know. Why am I so completely unaware of what I am putting in my body? Hahah
Dancingbutterfly - you're a strong woman to wait that long!
Congratulations ertgirl! That's awesome
Thanks Neb xx
Sooo transfer is booked for Sat at 11am yay! Get in my belly you little embie!
Um, was not trying to be a gangsta when I wrote "blood clottingz" bahahaha
Yay Amy! Great news! So happy for you. And ertgirl and Neb too!
SelM22- hope you're doing okay. Hold on tight. Lots of hugs for you. Keep us posted!
SheBelieved - haha - you so gangsta. Yay for Saturday!
Nicsta- hope you're okay too. I'm on Crinone, which is pretty gross.
Dancingbutterfly- well done for holding out!
SL- awesome news on your numbers! Yay!
AFM- BT today - arghgh - so scared! Woke up super early and tested again, and I think line is darker. Have gone officially insane. DH woke briefly to tell me how crazy I am, and is now snoring away - like I should be!
