Russian Tortoise Care Tips Stay away from Sand. We don’t recommend sand as a substrate for indoor Russian tortoises. It remains loose, sticks to food items and gets eaten, and it can be a major irritant to a tortoise’s eyes. Some keepers use sand because the tortoises live on sand or dirt in the wild.But in the wild, the substrate is hard packed and weathered, not loose and sandy. Wild Russian tortoises also graze on low-growing vegetation; they don’t eat directly off the substrate as they often do in captivity.ome keepers use sand because the tortoises live on sand or dirt in the wild.

Substrates for Tortoise Enclosures You'll need to adjust your care and substrate choice based on your tortoise species, type of indoor setup, room humidity and temperature level, and your local area's temperature and humidity. There is no one best substrate that works for everyone.aution! Accidental substrate ingestion with food and (possible) following impaction is a danger with ALL loose substrates, but especially with sand because it's heavy and can collect in the intestinal tract. You should exercise care to keep your tortoise's food substrate free regardless of what substrate you choose.
Russian Tortoise Substrate and Furnishings. As obligate burrowers, Russian tortoises should be provided with a fairly deep layer of appropriate bedding.

Myofascial trigger point Myofascial trigger points, also known as trigger points, are described as hyperirritable spots in the fascia surrounding skeletal muscle. They are associated with palpable nodules in taut bands of muscle fibers.
Myofascial trigger point Trigger points form only in muscles. They form as a local contraction in a small number of muscle fibers in a larger muscle or muscle bundle. These in turn can pull on tendons and ligaments associated with the muscle and can cause pain deep within a joint where there are no muscles.
- The inside of the body is covered with soft tissue called fascia. This tissue covers evert structure including organs, muscles, nerves and blood vessels. The fascia that covers your muscles is call myofascia. When the myofascia is stressed from overuse or trauma it can tear and adhear together. These adhesions are called trigger points and can prevent the muscles from working well. Trigger points lead to an increase in muscle stiffness and tenderness and a decrease in range-of-motion. In additiona, the discomfort from trigger points can radiate from the adhesion. This is called referral pain and the most common pathways are shown in this image.

How long can eggs be unrefrigerated before becoming unsafe to eat? After eggs are refrigerated, they need to stay that way. A cold egg left out at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the movement of bacteria into the egg and increasing the growth of bacteria. Refrigerated eggs should not be left out more than 2 hours.torage limits for table eggs in the United Kingdom were 3 wk at 8 °C (Kinderlerer 1994), while in Israel 3 mo for refrigerated eggs and 16 d at room temperature (Lublin and Sela 2008). In many countries, eggs are required to be stored at low temperatures to restrict microbial growth.
Why Europeans Don't Refrigerate Their Eggs Dirty eggs may be stored in temperatures of up to 60 degrees F. After an egg is refrigerated egg, it must be kept at that temperature. A cold egg left out at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the growth of bacteria that could contaminate the egg, according to the United Egg Producers association.Refrigerated eggs should not be left out more than two hours..That's why the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention recommend that U.S. consumers keep eggs refrigerated at temperatures of 40 degrees F, in order to prevent illness from bacteria.efrigerated eggs should not be left out more than two hours..

Eggs are, however, much easier to separate when they are cold.lace these bowls into slightly larger bowls full of warm water and allow them to sit for 5-10 minutes (or simply let them sit, covered, at room temperature for 30-60 minutes before using).

Knitting History From Hand Knitting to Knitting Machines Japan claims Masako Hagiwara invented the first hand knitting machine for the home in 1924.

Radon Facts Radon is a dangerous gas. It is colorless and odorless and is always being emitted from our planet-don't worry, it's not enough to harm you.
Radon Facts When radium decays, it produces Radon. As Radon breaks down, it produces more radioactive elements known as, Radon Daughters or decay products. Radon can also be found in hot springs or naturally occurring spring waters. However, its presence in Earth's atmosphere is considered only to be, 0.0000000000000000001 percent.
Radon Facts Radon's Glowing Side. Even though Radon is a gas, it does has a boiling point. This is achieved by heating this element to -79 degrees Fahrenheit (-61.7 degrees Celsius). However, when radon is chilled below its freezing point of -96 degrees Fahrenheit (-71 degrees Celsius) a wonderful reaction happens; it glows.
Radon Radon and Health When radon decays, it too produces a decay chain, with its own daughters. During its decay, it releases a large atomic alpha particle and the atom is transmuted into polonium. An alpha particle is essentially an helium atom stripped of its electrons.
- The ratio of the activity of the SLRDs to the activity of the radon gas is called the Equilibration Ratio (ER). Equilibrium usually occurs in about three to four hours. When an individual receives a dose of one WL in 170 hours (a miner's month), the exposure then becomes called a working level month or WLM.
Radon When this is the case, the radon contractor usually refers to isolation and ventilation. The Building Official's Code Agency recommends 1 square foot (865 cm2) of passive vent per every 150 square feet (14 m2) of floor space with vents within 6 feet (1.8 m) of each corner.
Radon The uncertainty for attempting to extrapolate the yearly radon concentration from a five to seven day sample is huge: about +/- 90% (at the 90% confidence level) 17. For this reason, a single CC reading (or indeed several) cannot be used to estimate the annual radon exposure in a house.
It's Elemental For these reasons, there is some concern as to the amount of radon present within homes. Radon seeps into houses as a result of the decay of radium, thorium or uranium ores underground and varies greatly from location to location. On average, the earth's atmosphere is 0.0000000000000000001% radon. When cooled to its solid state, radon glows yellow.
It's Elemental The glow becomes orange-red as the temperature is lowered. Radon's most stable isotope, radon-222, has a half-life of about 3.8 days. It decays into polonium -218 through alpha decay. Small amounts of radon are sometimes used by hospitals to treat some forms of cancer. Radon fluoride (RnF) is the only confirmed compound of radon.
- Typically, when we speak of radon, we are speaking of radon 222 which has an half life of 3.8 days. This means that if a volume of radon is sealed into a container and left on its own, half of the radon will decay into SLRDs and be gone in four days.
